The New \ ork world says: Even
now, to Gen. Woods mind, ships
are no part of our immediate pro-
gram. 1t is men-256OOOO to be
thrown into France for training with
out delay"
What piffle. What dangerous piffle.
How in the world can we throw"
men into France unless we have
ships to get them there? And how
can we take care of them unless
we have the acknowledged requisite
shipping of 12,5OOOoO tons 10 supply
them after they get there?
Gen. Wood DID impress upon
Washington the need of ships, be-
sides.

away with the old spirit of the
Fourth-the celebration of our tri-
umph over England-and inCulcate
into out activities on that day the
spirit of a New Fourth. This he
says should be the United We
Stand" policy of the two countries
at this critical time. Many Con-
gressmen like the idea.
Governor whitman, of New York,
likes the direct primary. He threat
ems to prevent a return to the good
old convention days by vetoing the
primary repeal bill As a matter of
fact, the primary gives the people
the chance to choose their Candi-
dates, and attempts to take this right
away from them will not be gen.
orally approved.
Relief is apparent from all over
the country on the size of the next
liberty loan, which is 5000, 100000
lower than most people thought it
would be. By the way. the Kaiser,
! with his western-front drive, is fur
nishing the incentive for a great
loan drive on this side of the water,
isn't he? Wonder if he suspects
he's helping us that much?
Senator Kenyon has returned from
Dixie, where he made a hit with re-
citals of his visit to the war zone
At New Orleans and Memphis he
thrilled large audiences and prepar-
ed them, in good shape, for the next
loan.
Senator New made an impression
doubtless, on Hoosierdom when he
spoke the way he did with reference
to the war situation. He and others
are beginning to see the necessity

our affairs and going ahead to hurt
the Kaiser instead of wasting our
money and thus hurting only our
selves.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
GROWING FAST SINCE WAR

Labor day, 1918, marks almost d
new era in the United States depart
m.nt of labor, for it witnesses the full
operation of h great war emergency
labor program, which has tremend-
ously increased the SCOPE of the de-
partment's work and has added eight
new bureaus to the departments or
ganizatinn.
The great importance of labor in
winning the war has be en- responsible
ter the rapid growth of this part OF
the governments activities. The pres
ent organization OF the department of
abor. with its great employment SER
vice covering all the territory of the
United States, and with it's many other
bureaus, requiring wen buildings in
Washington TOR their housing, far sur
passes the dreams OF the few labor
leaders who more than sixty years
& first suggested such a branch OF
the United States government.

hfhi,ion in rural townships, prohibit

therefore. the demand for township
aud municipal prohibition evolved
into a demand for county prohibition.

As state after, state fell into line in
harmony with this demand, ii became
apparent by reason of the operation
of the Interstate commerce law and by
reason of increased facilities for inter
state traffic, that no state as a unit in
itself could absolutely enforce state
prohibition laws. Thus gradually the
sentiment for national prohibition
has grown until it has developed into
an overwhelming dcmand upon the
part Of the people of the nation.
But lust as the national hopes of the
temperance forces are about TO be
realized we find ourselves IA to face
with the tremendous fact that in this
day and e of international relation
ships, when the laws of commerce
and trade so link together the nations
of the world and when fundamental
principles Of right must be defended

TWO SIGNIFICANT MOVES

Two events of Importance to the
labor and industrial world have
occurred within the past few days.
One was the action of the United
States Steel corporation directors
saying they had considered the
eight-hour work day, but had
taken no action now because the
war is on. That is very significant,
as it foreshadows the day when
work in steel mills will be reduced
to more eQuable hours.
A significant thing was the ac-
ton Of the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey directing employees
to hold secret elections to choose
representative to confer with the
company on matters of mutual in
terest. That means that the old
day Of regarding the workman as
a machine with no chance for ap-
peal to higher authority is going.
These two things indicate that
captains of industry are wisely
seeing the trend of things. When
the millions come back from the
trenches they will demand a new
deal and clearing the path for
that now is in order.
