When It's Worth While,

largely through earnest, persistent striving for
little bit more than he already had.
The man without hope OF advancement is =,
machine. He watches the clock. He does his stint
and no more, and is indifferent to the fate of the
enterprise OF which his stint is part. His LOYALTY
is measured by his obedience to rules and his
tributon is no more than that of the dies, cogs

New York's Enthusiasm.

II anyone has any doubt about the attitude Of
New York City toward the war let him be un-
deceived, if he thinks pessimistcaly. The war
spirit is rampant there. 1t is the one subject Of
conversation and the bulletins at the newspaper
offices have readers eager for the latest news.
On Saturday night there was a roundup of
all men OF draft age, and the who did not
have his registration certificate had free ride
10 the station. The dragnet took in all that worth
less element that seems to thrive in New York,
and the authorities intend TO intern the whole lot
or to punish them by some action OF law that will
make them useful useless.
The response to the liberty loan on the open
'ng day was worthy OF the great city No doubt
the critical state OF affairs on the Western front
helped the appeal. but there was very decided
and active interest in the loan
Other 'ites responded maryclously we'll and we
venture inc prediction that the Third Liberty Loan
will make record that will knock the 81" out Of
Kaiser.

More Ships.

More ships, both wood and steel, can be built
IN Oregon this year to help the allied cause than
are now ordered than appear in immediate pros-
poct says the Portland Commerce in its issue OF
March = The same paper then goes on to saw
1T is loss humanity that the government
docs not have planned the maximum construction
and hasten toward its execution with all the force
that Oregon and other States can muster
Competent lumbermcn and loggers declare that
this State could produce the timbers and lumber

Working on one-shft basis, and that by putting

lor nifty more ships could be produced in the wear

out IN 1913 from Oregon, it would mean an addi-

net Taking the governments own figures of five
tons OF shipping TO maintain one man in France
TINS possible additional fleet OF wooden vessels
could sustain an army corps of 10000 on the fobt-
ing front
Secretary OF War Baker says that the men
are ready to so, ii he get the ships. In the
meantime, perhaps, the critical issues OF the
war arc being decided while we DELAY concer-
tratnE our energies upon all possible ship tonnage
1T IS also clear that faster work could be
done IN steel construction in the State of Oregon.

Czernin, Hypocrite.

Czernin, foreign minister of Austria, stands
convicted before the world as a hypocrite and a
prevaricator. He has therefore reached plane
his Prussian friends about whom less polite
language is customary.
Clcmenccau proved that France was like Mark
Twain's friend. "a good extemporaneous listener"
Three times the Austrian minister took the initia
tive in seeking separate peace. Three times it
was rejected. Three strikes and out,'-said the
umpire, and Czernn retres from the scene a
discredied premier
1t is this sort OF diplomacy that is fed to the
Germans and A. rians 1t is a home-consumption
diet intended to lul the peoples o. tnese countries
into the belief that the allie, are tired or are
weakening Nothing of the kind is happening;
therefore the greater need of such pitiul diplomacy
Foch and the French with the British and
the Americans stand like wall at Amiens against
the onrushing Huns, and that they will not break
through is the firm belief OF those who have
studied the situation.

alienable rights and opportunities depend upon
him, human progress viii cease.
OF capital and labor, the latter is the greater
and its responsibility is the greater. Human
machine labor, labor without aspiration for the
things of life worth while, without something bet
ter to hope for in the future. means stagnaton,
stagnation of capital as well of all other ele-
ments, and hence it is labors insistent obligation
to fight against the increase of human machines.
The great war work that Mr.. Ford's industrial
army is performing is admirable, but, in the final
analysis, it is only fundamental duty of labor. 1t
is but labor's ful6llment of its obligation to beat
back an autocracy which would make all laborers
but human machines, without hope of the things
of life that are worth while.
Mr.. Ford is one of the greatest iberators OF
times. He is demonstrating to capitalism, by
his growing bank balances that it is most profit
able that the wage-eaTner be eager for and have
the things of life that worth while All of
industrial problems locked up in that prop
ostion.

Thou Shalt Not Covet.

A Salvation Army adjutant, doing relief work
in France, writes Commander Eva Booth that it
is often very hard to follow the dictates of Chris
tianity while hearing daily reports of German
atrocities. The particular bit of Hunism that call
ed forth this despairing statement, was-the re-
ported cutting of the throats of three American
soldiers by dozen German soldiers.
The difficulty with such viewpoint is that it
tends to substitute the genius, or quality, of an
alien race for that of ones own 1t invites US to
compete with the Hun on the Huns chosen and
practiced ground to make his morals morals,
to fight him with a weapon wholly familiar to him
ton the democracies of the world would be de-
feated
All that we need to know about the Hun afro
cities is that they are, that they an essential
part OF the genius of the German autocracy, es-
sentia and so characteristic a. part that they stand
despite the protest OF entire world Democ-
racy, warned as to the weapon being employed
against it, must win this with its own weapon,
its own genius, its quality.
And that quality does believe in forgiveness,
does believe in mercy, does believe in overcoming
evil with good And note that word "overcom-
ing"
We OF America stake Americas future our
belief in the inevitable triumph of righteousness,
which is positive thing. and the equally inevitable
We shall win this war by virtue of our own soul;
nor shall we covet the soul of the Hun, to whom
the cutting OF captive throats is good.

Couldn't Break In.

Reference at social affair was made to the
persistent trait that some people have of monopo-
iizing the conversation, when Representative Ed
win Y. Webb, of North Carolina, recalled little
incident along that line.
Two Young women met at knitting festival
ono afternoon, and somewhere about the fifth row
ono of them chanced TO mention male party by
the name OF Smith.

declared the other. "Hc strikes being a
regular bore"
"I'm surprised to hear you say that, Bessie )"
returned Gladys. 81 thought he perfectly
lovely"
"He doesn't appeal to me-" insisted Bessie. "As
matter of fact, he yawncd three times the other
night while | was talking to him.
"Perhaps he wasn't yawning, DEAR" swcetly
suggested Gladys. "Hc may have been trying to
say something"

REFUSED HEARING
Chairman Flood Says 1t Might En-
baTass a Co-belhserent

Chairman Flood, Of the House For

declined a hearing TO the United Irish
organizations Of twenty-siK States,
which had sought TO discuss Irish ns-
uonal freedom. To John J. Hesrn, OF
Westfield, Mass, Mr.. Flood read the
following statement:
Il have given careful conside "a tion
to your communication and have
reached the conclusion that u would
not be for the public interests, At the
present time. 10 grant your re quest
for such a hearing.
The serious consideration. by the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, OF the
proposed resolutions might well IA
considered as constituting an interfer-
ence In the internal affairs Of another
nation: and that nation is one OF our
co-belligerents; and could scarcely fail
to prove a source Of serious embar-
rassment to a nat.cn associated with

Fair Profit on Wheat.

Farmers from tweny-threc States, meeting in
Washington to attend the Agricultural Depart
ment's advisory committee conference, protest
against the Congressional proposal for $3.50 wheat
and declare that there is a fair profit in wheat
at S22o.
1t is not only fine exhibition OF patriotism
the part OF these farmers, but it's keynote for
the fixing OF wartime profits Anything more than
fair profit necessaries is war profiteerng,
and profit that should be reduced.
But in Washington, there are other farmers
who are there to get all they can, and the $2.5o
wheat proposition has insistent backing These
fellows were glad to get IS cents to $I.I5 for
their wheat, the year before the war, and, very
likely many of them have been holding their 1917
wheat expecting the government to FIX the price
at $2.5o. How they'd YELL should government put
an excess profits tax their wheat based on
prices of wheat before the war!

KNOWING HOW TO FORGET

In Middle western city i recently
met an old friend. Innumerabie years
before we had gone to school together.
He had been distinguished chiefly for
the fights he used to get into with
the teachers. both female and male.
Those fights provided delightful re-
liefs to the monotony Of work, at
times, excltements intensely thrilling.
We thought he appeared to far
greater advantage with the male
rather than the female teachers for
the reason that he could be 10 much

Perhaps the eyeglasses held him

Of consequences.
The moment passed.
The master won, as he always did

On recognising me his mind did

There were many boys in that
