CIALLY URGED.

Notwithstanding the fact that thou
sands of stenographers and typewrit-
ers have been appointed in the gov
eminent service in Washington, d. c.,
since our country entered the war,
the United States civil service COM
mission announces that there is press
ing need for several thousand more
workers of this class. Women espe-
cially are urged to offer their services
for this office work and thus help in
a practical Way in the nations great
undertaking.
Entrance salaries range from $1,000

day in $50 cities. and the commission
states that an examination will be
held in any city, day or night, when

Desirable Living Conditions.
The room registration Office of the
District of Columbia council of de-

usual charge for rooming accommoda-
tons with board, that Is. the two prin-
cipal meals of the day, is $40 month.
To obtain this rate 1t is usually ne
cessary for two persons to share

erecting residence halls, including res
taurants, for the use of federal en-
ployes in Washington. 1t Is expected
that the first units will be ready for
occupancy by December. The room

The democrats are trying hard to
create the impression that the war is
the issue in the approaching elections
and that in some unexplained way it
would be an act of disoyalty to vote
against the presidents party candi-
dates. The war is not in any sense an
issue, and never has been from the
moment the United States entered the
conflict. The president, to be sure
went back into power on "he-kept-
us-out-of-war' argument, but even
that has been forgotten since we be-
came belligerent
NO self-respecting democrat would
undertake to tell an audience of in
telligent voters that the winning of
the war is in any wise involved in the
result of the November contests. He
and they know that democrats and re-
publicans are united in the effort at
bringing early and complete success
to the allied cause. The republicans
in congress and out have worked 10y
ally to support the administration in
its war program. The war will be
won regardless of which party is in
control.
After the War,
The issue in the campaign is not the
winning of the War-that is a point on
which there is no difference of opinion
but the rehabilitation Of the nation
after the war. At present the United
States is involved in the greatesy
money spending orgy in the history Of
the world. The situation iss accepted
as inevitable, under existing condt-
lions, but it can not continue indefin-
itely. There must be an end to Dor
rowing and the spreading of treasure
broadcast The nation must get back
to normal, and that return era will be
one of the most trying in the history
of the country.
The present prospect is that. even
with an early termination of the war,
we shall come out of the struggle with
a public debt in excess Of $4,000, 0O0,
600. That will mean an annual inter.
est charge of $1,0O0,000,O0O or more,
besides money that must be provided
for the amortization of the debt The
total of congressional appropriations
for 1915. the year before the war, was
only $67S,677,S5S.7O, and that was
higher than the average in the ten
years previous. The normal after war
appropriations, exclusive of interest
and debt items, will be, of necessity,
much higher than in other years to
take care of developments resulting
from the war.
The people of the country must ex.
pect, under most favorable conditions,
to pay to the support of the govern
ment after the war at least three and
more likely four or five times as much
as they formerly were assessed. That
money must be raised, not for war
emergency, and by selling bonds, but
as a regular thing and as a business
proposition. The nation has to get
back from a spending to an earning
and saving basis. And all that will in
volve a far-reaching economic reor-
ganization and readjustment.
The democratic party is VIGOROUSLY
a money waster, whether in control of
national, state or municipal affairs. 1t
has been lamentably weak on cor
structive business policy. The people
know that. They have watched de-
mocracy perform in New York City, in

washington and in scores of other
places where it has gained temporary
power only to be ousted because of its
own excesses and incompetence.
Before the War.
Even in the excitement of war the
public has not forgotten that four
years ago there was widespread I'M
employment in the United States that
industry was slowing down; that we
We're in the throes of a buy-a-bale
movement to save the southern cot
ton planter from ruin; that the I'm
derwood tariff law was manifestly
failing to do what the democrats had
said it would; that Secretary McAdoo
was juggling the treasury figures to
minimize the importance of the rap
| idly increasing deficit; that he was re-
imbursing the treasury by selling
Panama canal bonds.
The nation four years ago and in
time of peace was paying current ex-
penses with borrowed money. The adj
ministration was headed straight for
embarrassment and financial confu-
sion when the world war was precip-
itated in Europe Soon war orders
from the allies began pouring in and
prices scared. Exports doubled and
redoubled. Wages We're advanced, the
fairness got higher prices for their
produce, the manufacturers were del
uged with allied gold and prosperity
was extended to everybody. 1t was all
war prosperity.
Borrowing and Spending.
Then the war came to us. The bars
were thrown down and every re-
straint on spending was removed. We
began borrowing by the billions and
taxing ourselves by the hundreds of
millions, The people, in a spirit Of
loyalty, accepted a 25 per cent in
Grease in their freight bills, approx
mately so per cent in their railway
fares; they paid taxes and surtaxes
without even inquring why or where
fore, believing it was necessary to
have the money to win the war. They
have stopped at nothing and question
ed nobody, but there will be an end to
| that when the war is won and we have
to get back to an everyday schedule.
1t will not be possible then for Sec
rotary McAdoo to sell Panama canal
bonds ito reimburse the treasury" for
money the democratic revenue laws do
year to have congress appropriate
| 5000, 100000 of borrowed money to
make up for the failure of his farm
loan bank plan; he will not always
have at his disposal the $500, 00O,O 900
congress handed to him in his war
| finance corporation, from which to
dole out $20,0000O0 loans to the Beth
lehem Steel corporation, or other sums
to various Industrial concerns seeking
funds.
The Issue Is Clear.
Business will have to stand on its
own bottom eventually The govern
ment can not continue indefinitely tC
pour out funds. In fact, even now
McAdoo's war finance corporation car
make no advances for term of more
than five years. The billions he is
putting out with such lavish hand
must be returned within the period OF
the next administration. That would
involve tremendous economic read
justments even in normal times and
is certain to be particularly difficult

is an exception, Detroit is the most
Catholic city in the United States.
Backing up the papal politicians in
their conquest Of this fair city are
ffty-one Roman Catholic churches and
missions with attendant priests. The
Roman Catholic directory for 1917
says there are also, four nunneries'
two hospitals, one sisters academy
three orphan asylums, one House OF
the Good Shepherd and attendant
upon these are 5S6 sisters, 48 novices,
AZ postulants, and 4S magdalens.
Also, one university, one monastery!
one home for boys and one commercial
college. These papal institutions are
also run by Roman Catholic agents
of the hierarchy. Then comes the big
papal school system run in opposition
to the public schools. There are 80
of these schools in Detroit employing
524 sisters as teachers and 20 lay
teachers. Part of these schools teach
in foreign languages. Thirty thousand
young papists are learning the
ways Of Rome from their eccles-

Why Rome IS Desperate

And what are they afraid Of? Do
you think they believe We are trying
to kill the Roman Catholic church as
a religion? MOI They know better
than that. They know we are trying
to drive the Roman Catholic church
out of politics and save this country
from ever becoming dominated by
ideals and laws promulgated from the
pope's palace in Rome. They know
that we are after their skins as po-
litical representatives Of the papal
autocracy. Detroit knows that what
we are doing in Alabama we propose
to do in Michigan. Popery knows it
too. Popery remembers what we did
TO her henchmen in Louisville. De-
troit is the papal province of the
United States. With the possible ex-
ception Of New Orleans, IL indeed that

veals, is to continue the campaign un-
til every effort has been exhausted 10
choke The MENACE. It is the last re-
naming barrier in the Journalistic
field between popery and political dom |
nance of this country. There are other
papers Of denominational nature
which oppose Rome, and oppose her
politically. Not a single one has a
sufficient general circulation through
out the nation to prove a barrier.
With the secular press largely doni-
mated by popery there is only one way
to beat the old church, and that is to
keep eternally at it until Americans
are thoroughly aroused and popery
has no chance of copying its canon

stitutions.
The legal status of this ordinance is
yet to be determined. We don't be-
