SPEED THE WAR

The realization Is rapidly taking
hold of the country that the demand
~of the day is that every American
citizen and every American insutu-
ton shall cooperate in the one great
task OF winning the war. Next to
placing trained and equipped men on
tho firing line. our greatest need IS
service in productive industry. That
"a the end which every person knows
to be- desirable, but there is Diff
ference Of opinion as to the means
By which this end shall be accom-
plished. Most enterprises and most
individuals have abandoned the slo-
Ean business as usual and subordl-
nate everything else to war needs.
One exception to this rule IS the
national head OF our educational sys-
tenn. The commissioner Of education
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1918-01-10

asserts that maintenance Of school at
tendance is Of utmost Importance. 1t
has also been suggested that in order
to save coal, the schools be dismissed
during one or two months OF the win
ter and continued a corresponding
time in the summer, when there will
be great need OF the help OF young
people in planting. cultivating and
harvesting the crops.
One cannot help but admire the
enthusiasm with which the educa-
tional leaders regard the work in
which they are engaged. but they
must get into harmony with the pre-
vailing sentiment OF the country. that
all else must be subordinated to the
winning of the war. Let us close the
schools, or graduate classes early, or
take any other step dictated by the
needs of each community. Speed the
war.

FARM LABOR PROBLEM

! While the farm labor problem mas
presented and continues to present
many difficulties, it should not Dc
made more difficult by exaggerated
utterances on the subject by writer's
and speakers who are uniformed OIL
the true situation. This is a condi-
ton which has moved the Secretary
of Agriculture to remark that not a
few statements are. being made which
not only are not conducive to salts
factory solution. but which. on the
contrary, are responsible for addl'
! tional unrest and misdirecuon or
effort.
!; Secretary Houston, in a recent
statement. says that tho farm labor
problem is subject that his depart
ment has given more thought to than
to any other. There has been before
the farmers the question of retaining
q sufficient number Of year-round
skilled laborers, and also Of meeting
the urgent needs at the planting and
harvesting periods. In very many sec
tions difficulties In both directions
have been experienced. This has
has been particularly true OF conf
munities where there has been great
industrial activity incident to prep
arations for the army aud navy.
Farmers in the neiehborhood or
cities where there has been great re-
direction OF labor and capital, and
also where the environments and other
special enterprises have been under
way, have been greatly embarrassed.
Obviously. a nation cannot engage In
struggle such as the one which this
country is making in defense Of its
Fights and for freedom in the world
without disturbances of many kinds,
especially Of labor. without inconven-
fence, and without calling for sacri.
fees from every class Of society. Mere
complaint will serve no useful pur-
pose. Constructive thought and &C.
ton alone will help.
In some respects the situation may
not be quite so acute another year
It Is, however, we'll to recognize that
the situation will continue to be diff
fcult and that satisfactory solution
will require the best. thought OF the
nation and the fullest and most COM
plete cooperation OF all agencies. 10
this end all plans which give any
promise OF real results must be care
fully examined and put into effect so
far as they are feasible.

ponderance of military strength and
crushing the life of militarism by u.s.
ing militarism with which to accom-
plish the object.
If America had had the men and
the guns and the munitions, and the
ships to transport them across the
seas, at the time of u declaration
of the existence of a state of war.
we could have had a sufficient force
in France today to have prevented the
forward movement of the Prussian
hosts. But it would have been neces-
sary to have slain and manned a
million Prussians to have succeeded
where Great Britain failed to hold the
original lines Of March 1, 1918.
If, in the end, the central allies
triumph owe America and it's allies
because of Americas lack of prepare
tion, then the whole democratic fabric
falls because of conditions for the
existence of which Mr.. Creel is re-
ported to have thanked God.
But if. on the other hand, the pcin-
ciples of democracy emerge victorious
from the conflict in spite of u IN
preparedness for war, Mr.. Creel may
claim, in his own estimation at least,
ample justification for his obserya-
ton.
AT any rate, Mr.. Creel's logic is
founded upon the theory that democ-
racy and m~ilitarism cannot go hand

people, separate and apart from their
association with other peoples, can
have no use for militarism in any

given rise to much criticism.
While whether one agrees or dis

the outcome of the war. there can be
no disagreement among true Amer.

before us. 1t is to prosecute the wal

question of the responsibility for the

we now have the socialist agitat-
ors." says the governor, after dis.
cussion his conception of socialism,
who, having failed to receive serious
consideration in the past, have formed
a new organization and now claim to
be the particular friends of the farm
ers. They advocate strongly that the
state should take over various manu-.
featuring industries and should enter
many and varied enterprises. They
insist on doing everything at once
without proper preparation or inves-
LEGATION and on using the credit Of
the state without limit. They insist
that there should be no limit of in
~debtedness. To use their own phrase,
they say The sky is the limit They
try to conceal the fact that the states
credit is just another name for the
taxpayers money. Again, they are
overlooking the fact that we cannot
get something for nothing and that
some day will be pay day; that an III
profitable enterprise will have losses,
and the losses must be paid by higher
taxes"
Strange, indeed, that, if Mr.. Nor
beck can find time to investigate these
various enterprises and place the
seal Of his approval upon them, and
suggest that the credit of the state
be employed therefor, it should be
SO very wild and visionary and So
cialistic for the farmers, as an or
ganized body, to go at least part of
the way in the direction in which
Governor Norbeck has expressed him
self in his political message as will.
ing to go!
Strange, too, that when the farmers
suggest the desirability Of state-owned
terminal elevators and packing plants,
it is the ranliest kind of socialism,
but that when Nh. Norbeck goes much
farther in the same direction it is
but a manifestation of safe and sane
business reasoning!

cREEL AND PREPAREDNESS.

Sedate United States senator's and
jumping" astride the neck of George
Creel, a member of the Committee on
Public Information, for an alleged re-
mark made by him in a recent adj
dress.
Mr.. Creel is declared to have said
that he thanked God that America
was not prepared for war when this
country became involved, and this
has been construed to mean that Mr..
Creel is one of those pacifsts that
have become the object of contempt
on the part of men who believe in
fighting for the right If necessary III
order to maintain principles vital to
the future of self-goyernment. Mr..
Creel's unfortunate observation like
wise has been accepted in some quar-
|ters as rejecting the views If the
president, since it is assumed that
the civilian member of the committee
is "a close political friend of Wood
row Wilson.
If we stop long enough to analyze
Mr.. Creels remark, we will find it to
be not nearly as bad as it seems.
Taken single-handed and alone, it
stands out as a striking example of
a brilliant mind somewhat zone to
seed. but when we consider ii in all
its bearings upon American traditions
and Americans hopes and aspirations,
and in the spirit OF democracy, we
may get a glimpse of the gentleman's
viewpoint. Whether or not he was
speaking for the administration, and
we assume that he was not, 1t is a
viewpoint to which Pesident Wilson

Had America been prepared for war
when the invasion of Belgium startled
the world, 1t would have been the
result of preparation covering many
years. One decade would not have
sufficed during an era of peacesto have

have required ait least two decades OF
