AAAg GNAtNy
Thegovernment, working through
the department of agriculture and
the council Of defense, has planned
a big drive for increased food pro-
duction to help win the war. We

producing a surplus of food to
send to our boys in France.
1t is directed that meeting be
held in all parts of the county at
once for the twofold purpose Of
becoming acquainted with the de-
mands of our country for increased
food production this year and to
furnish the government with in
formation relative to what we are
doing and planning to do this sum-
mer in swelling the total amount
of food stuffs produced in Carroll
county.
Every farmer will be given ar
opportunity to ill out a blank
showing the number of acres Of
food crops grown this year anC
the increase over last year. Come
out to the meeting nearest you
and make your report. We must
either feed our boys now or feec
the Germans later. Come oui
and show what side you are on.

While he twirld his slim legs to the music

mad kick
At a hat on the walk, and recoird from
the lick
As he lifted his gaze to a circle Of smiles
He remarked. II will wager I kicked 1t

Then he sprang to his feet with his arms
all a-sway:
IT'S Wonderful day! It's . WON.

At eleven p. m. as he passed through the

State or National Army.

The status of the National Guart-i1 been
brought sharply to the fore by the ruling of the
judge advocate general of the army that men
discharged from the military service of the
United States resume their civilian status. This
seems reasonable under the law, but it does
away with the National Guard, champions of
that organization being disappointed in their
expectations that the former members would
return automatically to the service
broader and more important question is
opened by the decision. Why should the Ma
tional Guard be restored? In days gone by it
had purpose, which it fell short of accomplish
ing. Some states maintained highly efficient
bodies of troops but most of the forty Eight
state armies were lacking in all the essentials
of real military worth. To revive these now
would undoubtedly mean return to the condi-
tons that prevailed in 1916 This is not said in
disparagement of those men who sincerely gave
themselves to the work of training men under
the old militia system. They worked earnestly
and faithfully, and if they did not accomplish
all they sought it was through no fault of theirs
Secretary Baker, as might have been ex-
pected, appears to lean towards the policy of
discarding the present army organization, with
a purpose of resuming the antquated and un-
satisfactory system. However, the sentiment
in congresses not wholly in sympathy with his
views, and it may be that when the time comes
laws to provide for some form of universal mil
itary training will be adopted. Ata any rate,
until the intention of congress is revealed haste
to reorganize the National Guard may be III

Greatness IN Working Clothes

"All Paris is talking" it seems, because
Marshal Foch in making an official call on Presi-
dent Wilson was not respondent in gold lace
but appeared in an old forage cap and we'll
worn blue uniform without decorations. Stick
iers for the niceties of etiquette must admit the
gravity of the offense. No doubt there has, not
been so fragrant disregard of similar pro-
prieties by great general since Grant met Lee
at Appomattox wearing private soldiers
blouse with only the straps of a general to
designate his rank And Grants respect for
the confederate leader was unqualified.
AT least the French marshars courtesy was
in full dress when he said that the visit of the
American president paid France the greatest
honor possible" All the war medals and insig-
MIA in the world could not improve on that
Sentiment.
But the incident may be taken as illustrating
by the absurdity of the publicity given it how
completely the war has dispeled the old illu-
sions of gold lace and military glitter. 1t has
been bad time for the pride, pomp and circum-
stance of war, for the plumed troop and spirit
stirring drum and royal banner. The art of war
has been stripped OF its fon-essentias, including
its haberdashery At the same time, contempt
of military clothes is no doubt more permissible
in a marshal of France than in a lieutenant

Taring Child Labor Profits

Possibly the principle of raising revenue by
tax on profits from the products of child labor
may be open to objection; but the purpose of
the amendment levying special tax of 10 per
cent on such profits is at least morally defensi-
bic. The importance of protecting children from
economic exploitation injurious to their physical
and moral welfare is beyond dispute; many
states have laws to this end. 1t was to make
such laws uniform that the federal child-labor
'eil was passed. measure which was unfortu-
nately found to be unconstitutional BY the
United States Supreme Court. Whether new
bill meeting the objections could be drawn or
not it might be difficult to say. But the attitude
of some of the southern states on the subject is
such that there seems to be little present hope
of achieving the same end by state legislation.
The amendment to the revenue bill, which was
bitterly opposed by II southern senators, is Of
course an attempt to whip the devil around
the stump. The main argument against it is
similar to the argument against legislative rid
ers 1t is making revenue bill the vehicle for
social legislation. Yet it is Quite possible that
there is no constitutional obstacle to the use of
the taxing power to discriminate against profits
to which the public sentiment as whole is
antagonistc. AS the Lord Chancellor in 90
lanthe" would say, ITS nice point. "-Phila-

THE wHIRLIGIo OF POLITICS.

1T coming events cast their shadows before,
we may be sure the big issue in party politics
will soon be the question of private or govern
ment ownership and operation of the railroads.
When government acquisition of trunk lines
and state ownership of branch and subsidiary
lines was proposed by William Jennings Bryan
in his famous Madison Square speech on re-
turning from his around the world trip, the out
cry was so strong against it as tantamount to
political suicide for the democratic party should
he force it to sponsor the plan that Mr.. Bryan
himself was compelled Immediately to hedge
and to sldetrack his scheme as measure of self
preservation Yet now we have very fair
prospect OF the democratic party champ ioning
the demand for government railroads as a per-
manent policy, for what else can the McAdoo
proposal for fve-year extension of the war
period control mean? The McAdoo plan does
not even throw the sop to states rights that the
Bryan scheme offered, but would concentrate in
the federal government an exclusive control of
transportation facilities and wipe out state lines
altogether, this in diametrical contrast with the
proverbial opposition of the democratic party
to increasingly centralized government
Where could the whirligig of politics find
more striking example? If government owner
ship and operation of railways becomes DEM
ocratic tenet, what lot of back pedaling demo-
cratic organs will have to do

Neutrals at the Peace Conference.

Neutral nations are to be denied seats at the
peace conference, if reports from Paris are to
be relied upon. This does not square exactly
with preconceived notions of the organization
of that important gathering While more than
a score of nations, great and small will be rep
resented because of their status of belligerency,
and for this reason they are expected to deter
mine the terms of which peace will be made
with Germany, several really important coun-
tries will be omitted should the announced in
tenton prevail.
When the United States was endeavoring to
maintain an attitude of neutrality it was argued
with force and reason that we should have
place at the peace table, where all nations would
be gathered. The paramount rights of neutrals
was then insisted upon, and these are not d.
minished by the change in Our attitude. That
neutral rights cut considerable figure in the
war is plain, from the fact that England en-
tered the conflict primarily because of the vio-
lation of Belgium by Germany, and the United
States went in later when the kaiser declared
his warfare at sea on all neutrals.
To restrict noncombatant nations to ap-
proach TO the peace table only through one or
the other of the beligerents seems to arrogate
to the fighting powers an authority hardly con-
sonant with the avowed purpose of the great
convocation All should have voice in max
ing the terms under which all must live.

freedom of the seas, controversy as to the
