WHAT Is
AMERICANISM7

Americanism began not with those
embattled farmers at Concord Bridge.
who fired the shot heard round the
world" 1t began across the ocean
where those other farmers stood in the
meadows of R~unnymede and fought
for the Magma Charta. It began all
through the Old World where men
dared at last to stand and fight for in
dependence.
Martin Luther and Oliver Cromwell
did not sign their names with John
Hancock. But Luther and the great
Oliver we're signers, nevertheless, OF
Americas Magma Charta-Arthur
Hunt Chute in Leslie's.
True; and independence meant not
only political, but economic independ-
ence. 1t is not enough TO teach this
generation that independence" in the
annals of American or any other his
tory. is simply the right TO vote, to
to carry a flag and TO have a share In
government That is the OUTWARD
manifestation of an independence far
deeper and more enduring than this.
and it is economic independence-the
right to transmute abstract liberty
into terms of sustenance and material
well-being.
Speaking periodically, the independ-
ence for which the men of our own
and other times fought. would have
amounted TO merely an abstract dream
were it not accompanied with a prac-
teal method of securing from their
own endeavor and foresight a better
way Of living and securing prosperity
for themselves and their posterity.
When our forefathers signed the
Declaration Of independence they had
their material welfare in mind as
much as abstract liberty; and that is
why they set out at once to protect
themselves from foreign invasion, both
military and industrial. In order To
make this protection secure, they set
out at once to make the United States
industrially independent. Americanism
meant industrial independence one
hundred and forty years ago; it means
the same today.
Nor has time altered the problem.
We are fighting for industrial and eco
nomic independence today precisely as
our f~orebears fought more than a cen
fury ago. Americanism meant protec-
ton then; it means protection now

TOO MUCH
INTERFERENCE

Various boards, politicians and pos
tai officials have made it very difficult
for newspapers to do business. The
zone system. putting subscriptions on
a cash basis and prohibiting ex-
changes have reduced the newspaper
output TO a minimum.
A constant stream Of newspapers
announce suspension under new rul-
ings and increasing cost of labor and
material. Autocratic orders have in
some cases been revoked by the Presi-
dent, but active bureaucrats continue
to make life a burden for publishers.
One average city daily newspaper was
put TO an expense of $4,000 to change
its circulation and exchange system
to meet new regulations. Smaller
newspapers find it impossible to make
all the reports and comply with all
the regulations and demands of the
departments.
The government has not fully APP

KAHN OF CALIFORNIA
FOR

The Republican leader in the House
of Representatives is James R. Mann
Of Illinois. who in due course would
be elected speaker of the house when
the new congress meets.
Unfortunately, it has become evident
that i'll health will prevent Mr.. Mann
from diseharging the duties Of speaker
and another Republican must be
chosen.
Several eminent Republican mem
bers have been suggested. and among
them julius H. Kahn of this city.
There are some good reasons why
Mr.. Kahn should be chosen. The
honor would be more than the just
reward of long and distinguished ser
vice in the house, recently as virtual
head of the great committee on mill
tary affairs, a serving coming to him
as ranking Republican member of the
committee in the face of the complete
failure of the Democratic chairman.
The popularity of Mr.. Kahn at home
is proved by repeated reelection with
out Democratic opposition.
The speakership is not the great
office which it was when the speaker
named all the committees, but is still
a place not only of great dignity but
of influence. 1t is essential that the
incumbent be an effective presiding
officer, a quality which Mr.. Kahn pos
sesses. That he would be popular
with opposition members is evident,
for he is popular with them now.
Another matter well worth consid-
ering is the fact that the far west has
never yet been represented in any Of
the great positions of dignity in our
national government, and as a mere
matter of geological fairness it seems
only just to take this opportunity for
recognizing this section. We are not
informed that Mr.. Kahn is yet an ac-
tive candidate, but we trust that he
viii be elected-Editorial from the
San Francisco Chronicle.

WILL HAVE A FIGHT
TO STOP E~XTRAVAGANCE

1t is understood that the admins

and retrenchment. Republicans, with
Democrats, in congress who have some
regard for the public welfare, are op-
posed to the continuance of such
propositions as the expenditure Of
three billion dollars for big guns that
can not be completed for a year or
two, the continuation OF vast expendi-
lures in the erection of environments
for troops that are not to be called,
the building of systems Of macadam
roads In the neighborhood Of southern
environments at federal expense, the
maintenance on the payroll of an army
of thousands of clerks connected with
the food and fuel administrations and
similar methods of shoyeling out the
peoples money. 1t is evident that a
fight will have to be made to curtail
expenditures. F%ifty-seven billion dol
lars has been appropriated in two
years.
One interesting feature of the stu
alton is the completion Of a large
number of temporary buildings in
Washington to house war activities
and war workers. An effort will be
made to continue this program Of con-
struction, it is said. The country will
have to be heard from if the pouring
out of billions is to be discontinued-l
