Editorial Comment

THE GERMAN GLASS INDUSTRY.
From the Bremen Burger-Zeitung
(Aug. 49,
The German glass industry had de-
veloped before the war into an inpOr-
tant export business. and even in 1915
glass goods to the value OF 14o. 0GO COO
marks (about $30.0G0,000) were ex-
ported abroad. Since the cuthrea. al
the war. however. the glass Industry
has been subject to continual upheay-
ais and has been in constant danger.
In the first place the cessation Of eX-
port trade threw most of the worNnl@n
out OF employment. and when the in
industry slowly recovered. owing 10
the increasing demands of the army
and orders from the preserving trace.
it suffered q heavy blow owing TO large
numbers of glassworkers being called
I'D for military service. for each glass
worker has his particular part in the
work, and when one link in the chain
OF workers is removed the separator
links can only slowly be joined toSeth-
er again. The confscation OF soda FOL-
lowed. but a substitute was found
which enabled production to continue.
The confiscation OF straw and the
shortage of railway trucks restricted
co7signments. and now the glass in

Z DANGEROUS DRIFT.

From the Pittsburgh GaZette-TimeS.
An unqualified statement that the
administration has drafted bill dc
signed to bring about Federal control
and operation of II c coal and iron
mines strengthens :he suspicion that
the government pans to establish
state socialism by suhterfuGe. Federal
control OF the rai!r.ads. for the dUri-
ton of the war. Is justifiable on the
ground that the government can do
necessary things which are impossible
of accomplishment under private man
aCement. The case CT the mines is en-
tirely different Sta .:stics and the tes-
timony of the Fuel administration eS-
tablish that private management OF
mines is productive O: the best posi-
BILE results. AS to coal. we have been
officially informed. and every known
fact substantiates the statements, that
the mines are producing more coal
than can be transp. Tted and can pro
duce all that could be used. while basic
prices for the product fixed by the
government guarantee everything in
protection of CONSUMERS that is posi-
bic at that point. IS for iron ore. the
1877 production, measured by deliv-
cries. was within lsss than million
tons OF the greatest output in the his
tory of the country and was limited
only by transportation difficulties
What more the government can do in
the production of ccal and iron ore
than private companies did last year
is beyond the comprehension OF ordi-
nary intelligence.
The project OF government control
and operation OF Fundamental! indus
tries where Unnec2s saTy IS lnconsist-
ent with the presidential declaration
concerning railroad seizure which, II
the language was rot deliberately
framed to conceal an intention not ex-
pressed, can be construed only as
promise that Federal control is to be
temporary. There should be IN
equivocal statements covering this
point. Because the situation as it is
developing admits. Uf varying concep-
lions we find the proponents of gov
eminent ownership. IN and out OF Con

WAR SAYINGS STAMPS.

N two weeks the members Of the J. O. Watson class
i of the High school alumni sold S3I3.Zo worth OF
War Savings and Thrift stamps. he showing Is a
remarkably eloquent testimonial to the enterprise OF the
young people who did the work but the most important
feature of the achievement the light 1t throws upon the
possibility of selling these stamps
Marion county expected to sell during the present year
one million dollars worth of these unique government
eec,r;ties The allotment seems Ike large amount II
Is IN point of fact larger than total subscription to the
FIRST Liberty loan. but what the young men and young
women of the O. Watson class have already dore after
but brief effort shows that Is possible II all OF US "Ae
hold of it IN the right way.
Plans are now in the making for campaign TO gel
these stamps into the hands of the public which will afford
patriotic people opportunity to perform some drec ser
vice for the government and the hey will be an
nounced when they are completed Doth INC @lfH'0n'
neyspapcs and other appropriate ways In the mean
time it will be well for all wide awake people to read
everything they see about the War Savings stamps and
Thrift stamps that they will be able 10 discuss them
rteigently when the time comes tor concerted action.
In the matter of security these stamps are as good as any
bond which any government on earth issued he
rate of interest per cent compounded quarterly makes
them one of the most remunerative and at the same ue
absolutely safe small investments within the reach OF the
eonIe They are so good that particular that the gov
eminent had place limit upon the amount any one per
son NAV hold 10 keep the very rich from gobbmG the hoe
issue which is free from of kind ne tact that
tat they can be obtained in small sums Will make
them attractive people of the most limited incomes ana
fe OUGHT to be popular with people who understand the
value of thrift.
But while all of this, and more, can be said in favor
Of the stamps as an snvesent the real reason why mil!
lion dollars worth of them must be disposed of in Marion
county is that that share of this part OF the financing
of fhe war against the Madmen of Berlin and FotsdaT-
We know that we can take this amount without in the least
embarrassing ourselves financially The government has said

doubt that these merchants are acuat-

would have upon the situation. We
are making the strongest effort to have
