PATERNALISM
New York Heraldl

The American people are prepared
to believe almost anything that is
told them of devious methods on
the part of the big five" meat
packers, but there is danger of the
the government being hurried into
doing something which in quieter
times it might be difficult, if not i'm
possible to undo.
What the Federal Trade Commits
sion now recommends is nothing
short of having the federal author
tiles acquire the business, lock, stock
and barrel, operate the refrigerator
car service, cold storage warehouses
and other facilities as a government
monopoly. The government would
also establish and operate public
markets.
1t is one of the most far reaching
paternalistic schemes thus far
projected and would extend govern
ment activities into new and untried
fields. Sober citizens will ask them
selves whether the government has
not already got its hands more than
full.
Is it necessary to burn down the
barn in order to get rid of the rats .?
In other words, is it not possible
by wise regulation and legislation
to get rid of evil practice without
resorting to the dangerous and un-
democratic step of having the fed
eral government itself undertake to
do the business?
1t might prove a direful prece-
dent

HEADGEAR FOR THE ARMY
(Army and Navy JournaD

Every now and then somebody
publishes statement that the
overseas cap is likely to supersede
the campaign hat throughout the
Army. While the value and adap-
liability of the overseas cap for the
service for which it is now the
authorized headgear is recognized,
there is no possibility that the cam
paign hat will be abandoned at
present. The campaign hat with its
wide brim was adopted after long
years of study and experience as the
best available hat for Army use
generally in the United States and
in the Islands. 1t is unnecessary to
remind anyone of the unfitness of
the overseas cap for use by our men
in~the hotter climates of the United
States especially in the desert
country of the southwest where a
very large part of our Army now
in this country is likely to remain
for some time to come. Discussion
of the Army headgear question has
brought out a few advocates of the
adoption of a helmet somewhat
similar in type to that worn by
British troops in tropical countries.
1t will be recalled that some ex-
tensive experiments were made with
helmets during the earlier years Of
American occupation in the Philip
pines but the consensus of opinion
was finally against the use of the
helmet and the campaign hat was
retained There is every reason to
believe that the overseas cap which
is being made in quantities for use
in France by the A.EF. will be re-
tained for that service. and it may
be issued to troops Immediately de-
stined for service abroad;s but the
old familiar and useful campaign
hat is likely to remain with us in
most sections of the United States
as part of the American soldiers
uniform for a great many years to
come, or until something that will
prove a material Improvement upon
1t is found.

PASSING OF AN INDUSTRY

"HE death Of Arthur P. O'Con-
nor, operator of the old Watts
furnace at Marietta, Is another
reminder of the passing of the once
great industry of iron making and
forging for which Pennsylvania was
famous before the days of the
modern giant steel plants. All
through the State where iron was to
be had from local ore deposits these
charcoal furnaces and forges flour
ished and made great fortunes for
their owners and provided good liv-
ing and prosperity for whole COM
munities that now have drifted back
into the forests, abandoned by the
descendants of those who knew them
as lively and thriving centers of
population. Whole deserted vii
lagos" Of this kind may be found
in the woods and mountains of this
Commonwealth, with occasionally
the "big house" still occupied and
occasionally few of the old time
forge and furnace houses turned to
other and more modern uses.
But, so far as the production OF
iron, is concerned, the industry is
dead. One wonders, contemplating
the accomplishments of these early
manufacturers and the excellence OF
their products under the crudest OF
manufacturing conditions, whether
IN some future age we shall not
turn again to the low-grade iron de.
posits of Pennsylvania for much OF
the ore to feed the gigantic indus
tries that are now eating up mil
lions of carloads of high percentage
product from the mines of the lake
regions and Cuba.

THERE will be universal assent
to General March's opinion that

TO 1eueTdl MdTCn . OPluloil IiidI
- 1.-The idea of trying to establish
an eastern front in Russia with a
little handful of Americans is
simply ridiculous" Even though
it were accompanied by civil COM
mission bearing boots and shoes,
canned vegetables and good wishes,
little handful of Americans Joined
to another little handful of Japan
ese would be like babes in the wood
in that vast area of turbulence.
Laymen should pay high respect to
the opinions of military authority.
and in support of the belief that
the war must be won upon the
western front we have the impress
sive teachings of Gallipoli and Kut-
el-Amara.
The fear that this decision may
be the fruit of political PROPOSES
sions rather than of military pru-
dence probably accounts for the
persistence of the belief that the
dispatch to Siberia of a very con-
siderable military force, American,
japanese, British, and French,
while enabling the Russian people
to free themselves from the
clutches of Germany, thus assuring
to them a future of independence
under a government of their own
choosing, which would be the chief
and justifying motive. would also
contribute directly and powerfully
not only to a victory on the western
front, but to the defeat of Germany
on all fronts. Danger in the east
sufficiently great to compel the
transfer of German troops from the
western armies would manifestly

make victory there more prompt
and certain. 1t would be less costly.
These views are known to be held
by military authority in Europe.
They appear to be rejected at WASH
ington. But no little handful of
Americans" in Siberia will force the
withdrawal of German soldiers from
the soil of France and Belgium.
There has been some apprehension
at Washington that allied interven-
ton in Russia--for the sending of
troops is Intervention, disguise it as
we may-would alarm the Russian
people and provoke them to make
common cause with Germany against
the intruders. Recent events must
have dispelled that illusion. Clouds
of obscurity overhang a great part
of Russia, but if there is any one
thing of which we can be certain it
is that Germany has now no friends
there save among the Bolsheviki.
The Soviet government has been an
instrument of Germany, it depends
for it's life and continuance upon
Germany, and it is tottering to its
fall. On the shores of the White
Sea, throughout Siberia, on the Cas-
plan and in Tprkestan, where the
presence of a British force from
India is announced, the invaders"
are welcomed as deliverers. At
Baku, strangely enough, the local
Bolsheviki with the Armenians are
helping the British to fight the
Turks. Reinforcement of the
Czecho- o-Slovaks by Russians in
Siberia who have joined them is re-
ported. The picture is everywhere
the ,same-the Russians desire and
welcome allied help against Ger

Lincoln's "Lost Speech"
(The New York Sun)

President Lincoln assisted the
British Prize Court last week.
Sir F. e. Smith, attorney general,
in the 100000 coffee case was ar
guing that German owners could
not claim the protection of the
Declaration of Paris for goods in
neutral bottoms, when the President,
Sir Samuel Evans, drew his attention
to a legal dictum of President. Lin
coin that nobody else in court ap-
parently had heard of.
Sir Frederick had just pointed
out that the Germans had sunk
neutral ships containing enemy
goods when Sir Samuel, examining a
law book, came upon a manuscript
note. He said:
Il have. here a note from Presi-
dent Lincoln's lost speech. Presi-
dent Lincoln was not only an Ameri-
can President; he was also-what
is more to the point in this Instance
"a lawyer. He stated: 1T is, l be-
lieve, principle of law that when
one party to a contract violates it
so grossly as to destroy the object
for which it is made the other party
maysrescind it
THE speech was made in 1856 and
is called the lost speech The
record goes on: so carried away
were the hearers that the reporters
present forgot their notebooks, and
but for a young lawyer who kept
his head sufficiently to make copious
notes the speech would have been
lost to history and gone out of human
knowledge"

GUILTY AS CHARGED
(New York Times)


After listening for four months
to evidence of the malignant and
reasonable activities of the 100
members of the I. w. W., indicted
for conspiring to Illustrate the pro-
secution of the war by the govern
ment and for violation of the Es-
pionage act. it would have been eX-
traordinary if the jury at Chicago
had failed to bring in a verdict
against all the defendants of guilty
as charged"
1t was an American jury that re-
turned the verdict. 1t could, render
no other. The trial was conducted
with absolute fairness. No right
was denied the defendants. The
court was liberal in admitting evil
dence offered in their behalf. Will
liam D. Haywood. the secretary
harangue the jury; to vociferate
that the black man of the south
before the war was better off, than
the wage slave of to-day; to
protest that the I. w. w. had taken
no German money. Haywood was
given plenty of rope, but he did not
get the hung jury that he expected.
THAT all should be convicted so
quickly is the surprise of my life,"
he declared when the jury, which
Judge Lands had laboriously and
impartially charged, came in with
it's mind made up after an hour
and fine minutes given to the con-
sideration of the case.
In some parts of the country
where they were best known the
subsidized emissaries of the I. w.
W. have been roughly handled and
cast out sby vigilance committees
that found verdicts of their own and
executed sentence without waiting
for the Intervention of prosecuting
attorneys. The method could not be
countenanced. 1t had to be repro
bated and condemned. Patriotism.
no matter what the provocation,
sullies itself by resorting to the pro-
cesses of Judge Lynch. This verdict
of a Chicago jury will do more to
open the eyes of the American
people to the ugly peril latent in
the propaganda of this anarchistic
and enemy controlled organization
than repeated acts of mob retribu-
ton, which scotch the reptile in the
grass, but do not stop the flow OF
it's venom.

A PATRIOTIC ARTIST
pittsburgh Gazette Times)

Madame Schumann-H Heink has re-
Gently re-declared her patriotism in
a magazine article that moves one
by it's sympathy and its earnest spirit
of devotion. The great contralto so
long a dominant figure on the grand
opera stage in America needed no
new declaration of principles for the
reason that she has recorded her
Americanism in deeds rather than
words. Her fourth son, George,
Washington has entered the Ameri-
can service though barely 20 years
of age. Three older sons had pre-
ceded their brother to the front, and
the great singer declares that she
hoped to keep her baby boy, at
least, until he reached his majority,
but his restlessness and great desire
to take part in the world struggle
could not be restrained. He is the
one child of the family born in
America, and he urged this as a
reason why he should go.
Madame Heink is also in the
American service, for she is singing
in the camps and contonments all
over the country from California to
Maine and declares she .is willing to
go abroad and sing for the soldiers,
or, as she puts it, nurse the
wounded, scrub the floors or do any,
thing that might be required" of
her. The singer relates with en-
thusiasm her experiences as an en-
tertainer in the various camps.
'TThe courage and enthusiasm of
the boys" she says, wiring my
heart, and to have thousands of
these brave fellows join me in
singing The Rosary Ethelbert New
in's beautiful hymn of devotion and
sacrifice, is worth all the labor, and
travel involved" Madame Heink,
by the way. declares that she finds
the Nevin song by far the most pop
ular wherever she goes and it is
always first of the request" num-
bers called for.
