(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS)


Although the military operations
along the western front in France and
Belgium daily are growing in magni
tude until it seems apparent that
fierce battles cannot much longer be
delayed. the situation in Russia con-
tinues to hold an absorbing place in
public interest throughout the world.
Scant advices from Petrograd are
coming through, but those that are
finding their way out of the turmoil
ridden capital indicate that while the
Germans have ceased operations in
Great Russia, following the signing
of the peace compact with the Bolshe'
wiki, they now are striking against
Finland, and that in the south Aus.
trO- Hungarians are making inroads in
to Podolia in an endeavor to drive out
the BOlsheviki and thus secure an un-
trammeled hold on the country upon
which so much dependency has been
placed for the feeding of the Teutonic
allies.

would give the invaders absolute mas

the Gulf and paralyze completely the
movement of Russian ships of war OF
commerce into the Baltic.
Peace Not Public
| The contents of the peace treaty
between the Germans and the Bolshe
Wiki have not yet been made public
but there is not room for doubt that
the Teuton representatives exacted
from the Russians price in keeping
with their full desires. The. treaty is tc

In Podalia. the Austro-H Hungarian
forces evidently are meeting with

DEMAGOGS MOST DANGEROUS
CITIZENS.

The tendency in all government is
to extravagant expenditure, and the
lavish use of public money. In the
past as we'll as in the present politi-
clans have been put in power who
have had no previous experience in
handling big business or in the hand
ling of large public funds. AS vote
getting proposition many of these
cheap politicians and demagogs make
it their business to attack the big in
dustries of the country. Especially
in these times is the demagog tempt
ed to shout that big business should
pay the heavy cost of the war, and
these professional tax-eaters could
they have their way, would SO tax
big industry that only the very larg-
est could survive, while the smaller
manufacturers would be forced out.
1t is the duty of Americans now to
see that men of business ability are
put in power of handling public bust
ness-men who understand that eX-
pensive taxation of big business is
merely killing the goose that lays the
golden egg, because of the fact that
the biggest industries are the biggest
producers of materials essential to
the life of the nation, and if the
nation endures and prospers these
industries must indure and be allowed
to make a fair profit.

1900, 900 BOUGHT THIRD
LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

The Third Liberty Loan yielded
$4,17O,019, $50, subscribed by about
100000 buyers. Secretary Nc
Adoo congratulates the country on
the result, which he says is "irrefu-
table evidence of the strength, pa
triotism, and determination of the
American people"
The loan is larger and the number
of subscribers much greater than any
previous loan of this country, and
every bond buyer bought with the
full knowledge that he would be al
lotted the full amount of his sub
scription.
The great subscription was made
despite the fact that the country has
been called upon to pay since the
preceding loan income and excess
profit taxes approXimating $3,000,-
100000. The loan and these taxes
will make a total of about $7,000,000-
900 turned into the Treasury of the
United States since the second loan,
including the month of June. Yet
every district oversubscribed its
quota, the Minneapolis district lead
ing with an oversubscription of 172
per cent.

SOME WORKMEN ARE PATRIOT
&c; OTHERS ARE NOT.

The president sent a telegram of
congratulation to the shipwrights'
and jobbers' union because of their
action in waving their customary
Saturday half-holiday during June,
July and August, as well as waving
double pay for the eight hours.
The metal trades council has re-
fused to endorse this action, and has
voted to stand by its demand for a
forty-four hour week during the sum-
mer months, with time and half for
overtime. This action, it is said,
will prevent the shipwrights and
joiners from carrying out their plan
for forty-eight hour week.
The metal trades council thus runs
true to form and practice of gaining
everything possible through the war
and of sacrificing nothing, not even q
half holiday.

THE SOCIALISTIC PERIL.

The National peril from the disin-
tegrating influences of socialism
rightly named would not be very
great.
But for lack of understanding just
what socialism leads to, and ignor-
ance of its character makes it dan
gerous.
A large number of groups of citi-
zens are always lookink for new pol
itical fads to follow and experiments
to try.
The time has come when every
American had better take stock and
face the menace of socialism square
ly.
Socialism is the residue accumulat-
ing in this country as the melting pot
of all nations and is growing steadily.
Unless we find some way to edu-
cate the voters there will be more
men like Berger of Milwaukee run
ming for the Senate.
Judging from his utterances our
country might as we'll have one of
the Kaiser's warlords in the Senate as
Berger.
His policies are farther from any
true expression of Americanism than
autocracy is from democracy.
The teachings of socialism are car
ried on by indirection in the name of
reform movements of all kinds.
For instance, in the formation of
the new National party all kinds of
reform elements from Single Tax to
Prohibition are United. The same
methods are also used by the So call
ed Non-Partisan League to draw to-
gether all elements of discomfort.
But in the midst of them is the
seed-planting of international social
ism with its harvest of revolution and
pro- ermanism.
After all, does any real American
man or woman at the present time
desire to promote such an aggrega-
ton of influence.

When the United States announced
an increase of rs per cent in freight

awful blow to agitators and politi-

camouflaging the public in asking for
an increase to avert bankruptcy. The
State Utility Commissions can profit
by the lesson.

Tho conscrIptIon Of Men.
Reverting now to the subject Of the
CONSUMPTION of men, l know l speak
the sentiment of all those beyond the
years of young manhood when l say
that there Is not one of us worthy OF
the name of a man who would not
willingly go to fight II the country
needed or wanted us to fight. But the
country does not want or call Its en-
tire manhood to fight. 1t does not
even call anywhere near its entire
young manhood. 1t has called or In
tends to call in the immediate future
perhaps 25 per cent of its men be-
tween twenty and thirty years of age,
which means probably about q per
cent. Of Its total maIe population Of all
ages. But 1t has called from incomes,
business profits and other imposts fall
ing principally on the well to do, ap-
proximately ninety per cent. Of our
war taxation, not to mention the con-
tributions to the Red Cross, the Y. M.
g. A. and other war relief activities.
Let me add in passing that the chill
drsn Of the we'll to do have been taken
for the war In proportIonately greater
numbers than the children of the poor,
because those young men who are need
ed at home to support dependents or to
maintain essential war Industries are
exempted from the draft.
Our Laws Favor Sons Of the Poor
The draft exemption regulations dis
eliminate not, as In former wars, In
favor Of the rich mans son, but In

desire to see everything done that is
practicable to have that burden light

will not accomplish that; on the con-
trary, 1t will tend to intensity the trou-
BILE.
Taxation must be sound and wise
and scientific and cannot be laid In a
haphazard way or on impulse or &C
cording to considerations of politics,
otherwise the whole country will suffer.
History has shown over and over again
that the laws of economics cannot be
def1ed with impunity and that the re,
sulting penalty falls upon all sections
and classes.
The question Of the individual Is not
the one that counts. The question is
not what sacrifices capital should and

but what taxes IT is to the public ad

The Latest Swiadle.

The war department at Wash
ington has just discovered that a
swindle is being worked upon
parents of soldiers in the various
camps in the following manner:
A telegram is sent informing
that the soldier has a furlough
and requesting funds by wire to
come home, waving identified
ton. When this is done the rest
is easy. In some cases the
swindlers have telegraphed pa
rents and friends to mail the
money to the soldiers in care of
the general delivery. In either
case it is easy for the swindler to
get the money, and hard to ap-
prehend the swindler.

Hen Rule Amended.

Official notice is given by John
r. Jackson, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Fulton County,
that the rule prohibiting licensed
dealers from dealing in live or
freshly killed hens between
February 11th and April Goth
has been amended to end at mid
night of April 10, 1918. This
means that pullets, after Friday
night at midnight, may be sold
and killed the same as before the
rule was made. In this connec-
ton the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture cautions
farmers and others against a
rush of too many fowls to mar
ket as soon as the restrictions
against selling laying hens is re-
moved, which, they say, may
result in food losses. Think
twice before selling a hen that
is laying. Green food is becom-
ing more plentiful, and the de-
mand for eggs continues. Uni
versal marketing of fowls, may
react on prices, as well as cause
spoilage of dressed poultry.
