No factory should be closed and no
person should be deprived of work as
long as the products can find market
unless other work can be found for the
plant and the toilers, which is of more
importance to the nation There are
no sue hthings as nonessentials in our
Industries. Some are needed more
than others, but all serve some pur-
pose, If no more than to please the eye.
If work can be found for all in produc-
ing foods, clothing, munitions of war,
ships and other things of prime neces-
sity which help win the war let them
have precedence, but avoid causing In
voluntary idleness.

land, wisest of nations in trade affairs,
is doing all that is possible to maintain
her foreign trade and supplant her
enemies In international markets and
while doing so is looking after her own
interests without taking others into &C
count. This policy is not conflicting
with her efforts to win the war.
When a workman is idle the commu-
! nifty loses his value as a producer and
the cost of supporting him. 1t makes
no difference whether he is fed by rela-
tives or friends or in public institu-
ton or by unorganized charity or by
his spending part or all of his savings,
the double loss is the same. likeness
Is the worst waste. We must practice
economy, but, as President McGarrah
Of the Mechanics and Metals Bank Of
New York says: iii advised and i'm
| petuous economy, meaning unemploy-
ment and closed factories, would be
demoralizing 1t is evident to every
thinking man that business must be
sustained and the conversion of indus
try carefully brought about whereby
the nations energies are transferred
from the satisfaction Of the needs of
the army and navy" Some of our i'm
portant Industries have already been
hurt by the negative economy which
he criticises. We must not weaken our
bodies and our finances by abstinence
born of panic.
If man boards a dollar or bag of
sugar 1t benefits no one while he holds

sells the sugar to the government for
the prosecution of the war he helps the
nation. The hoarder Is worse than the
spendthrlft We must economic, but
we must neither hoard nor remain idle.
Money wisely spent is not wasted;
money spent for nonessentials is put
to poor use but remains in circulation.
Money boarded is valueless while in
that condition. Let us keep money in
circulation and labor at wO K. Let us
give preference to the requirements of
the nation, but keep labor employed in
some way until the government can
find work for all. 1t Is unlikely that
the government can do that so we
shall have surplus labor, including an
army of women, who can produce real
wealth for export and domestic trade.
The panic which obsesses the minds of
some officials, If allowed to spread, can
do more harm than an invading host

DIVIDENDS FROM PLEASURE.

Somehow or other it is hard for
some of us to realize that work Is not
a curse; that the man who would find
real happiness can find no better place
to seek 1t than in his work. Work is
play when approached in that manner.
But we have been making ourselves
believe that work is unpleasant merely
because it is work. We can never reach
that bright place in the sunlight of sue

that attitude. Nobody ever has, and

RUSSIAN POLICY N TO STIR UP
TEUTON REVOLT

Petrograd, January 3O-Delayed
The speech of Leon Trotsky, foreign
minister, before the pan-Sovict Con-
gress was generally regarded today
as foresshadowing separate peace be-
tween Russia and Germany-uness a
revolutionary upheaval occurs in the
central empires.
At the same time the United Press
was informed authoritatvely the Rus
sian policy is to prolong negotiations
at Brest-Litovsk as long as possible to
draw out new German propositions
and also to stir up revolution in Aus
tria.
Trotsky and his colleagues hope to
compel modification of the German
terms-and possibly to obtain en-
trance of the allies into the negotia.

Emphasis was laid on the dcclara-
ton a separate peace would be sign
ed only as last resort

cause of democratic peace" was the
way Trotsky reported to the pan
Soviet meeting. Our hands are clean.
Our obligations to other people have
been met.

IMPORTANT DECISION
Handed Down BY United States Su.
preme Court Aiiirms Ruling Of
Federal Judge A. NJ. j.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says:

A decision Of far-reachlng import
ance in the prosecution of Chinese un-
der the Chinese exclusion act is that
handed down by United States SUI
preme Court Monday in the case OF
the United States and Thomas Thorn
as, Cincinnati immigration Inspector
VS.. Woo Jan, Ashland, Ky, Chinese
laundryman.
The Supreme Courts ruling was on
two questions certified to by United
States Circuit Court of Appeals at
Cincinnati, which presented to the SUI
preme Court for the first time the
question of procedure in deportation
cases against Chinese aliens charged
with violation of the Chinese exclu-
sion act
In this case the Government con-
tended it had the right to proceed
against Chinese aliens at any time
within three years after their last en-
trance into the United States under
the general immigration act applica-
BILE to all aliens. Woo Jan was charged
with violation of the exclusion act
solely, and the Supreme Courts de-
cision is to the effect that in such
cases the proceedings should be
brought before United States Com
missioner or United States District
Court and not in proceedings before
the Department Of Labor, as were the
proceedings in this case.
This decision of the Supreme Court
affirms the ruling of United States
District Judge A. NJ ]. Cochran, Cow
ington, Ky, who tried the case on
habeas corpus proceedings brought
by Jan to secure his release. Judge
Cochran issued the writ, and in his
opinion decided the eX parte proceed

were improper and should have been

Baptist Church Notes.

Thursday of last week the Baptist
Women's Union met at the church for
its whole days service, which was well
attended. The morning program con-
sisted of devotional services. All
brought their dinners and the men and
school children came to the church for
their dinner. About fifty enjoyed the
dinner together. The afternoon pro-
gram was missionary one. This
kind of service will be repeated once a
month until the hot weather.
Friday evening large attendance
was at the choir rehearsal, and by the
time rehearsal was over, more than
forty were present. By this time we
began to think there was something in
the air, then it dawned upon us that
the pastor had birthday. Ice cream,
cakes and coffee were served and many
happy returns were expressed, with a
desire that he may be with them next
birthday.
Morning topic for next Sunday,
''The Victor"s Life-Crown;" "Tht
Peoples Service" at 7:S0, topic. "The
Visit Of Salvation" Special music
win be feature. The public invited
to all services. Next Wednesday eve
ming we begin synthetic study of ths
Epistle of Paul to Timothy. Bring
your Bibles. D. L. Baker, Pastor.

Russia and the United States,

The old autocratlc government Of
Russia was always particularly friend
ly to the United States. During the
Revolutionary war Russia offered to
mediate for peace and her offer was
accepted by the United States but de-
clined by Great Britain. Russia was
one Of the first governments to recog-
nlze the independence of the United
States and continued to show her good
will by making treaties Of amity and
commerce with the United States. Sew
eral Of our early presidents in their
messages referred to "the continued
friendship Of Russia" In 1923, Rus
sia proposed a friendly adjustment
through diplomatic channels of the
boundary line between American and
Russian possessions in the Northwest
and President Monroe authorized the
United States minister to Russia to at
tend to the matter. In doing SO he
said: "The government of the United
States has been desirous by this friend
ly proceeding to manifest the great
value which they have invariably at
tached to the friendship of Russia and
their solicitude to cultivate the best
understanding with that government"

1t takes men and money to win

called upon they have responded nobly

A situation now arises which calls
for the support of every bank, that
business may proceed on the even

Treasury Certificates in advance of
the Liberty Loan so that the shock in.
cidental to the transfer of immense
sums may be absorbed. To do this
effectively bank should set aside one
per cent of it resources each week over
period and with these sums purchase
the Certificates. These homeopathic

The war can be won without Russia,
but it will not be an easy victory nor
is there any reason to believe de-
cision will be reached this year--unless
the unexpected happens and the Ger
man people themselves show their
WEAKNESS of the war. Probably the
duration of active fighting might be
considerably shortened if the politi-
clans of America, England and France
were eliminated and management of a
consolidated offensive placed in the
hands Of supreme military authority;
but this is too much to hope for and
not at all likely of realization The
situation is not yet so desperate as to
preclude jockeying for power ard pres
tige among the nations, to say nothing
of the meddIers at home who are con-
stantly endeavoring to turn every in
cident of defeat or victory to their
partisan advantage. There is yet too
much of political controversy to per-
nit the allies utilizing their strength
to its fullest efficiency or centralizing
authority IN a manner which has prov
ed so advantageous to Germany. Not
until party distinction is wholly oblit-
Grated and the men best qualified are
in control whether democrats, repub-
licans, or from the ranks of labor, will
the full force of this nation be launch
