What You Say.

more important than what you
mean by what you say. Thus in
everyday language may be express.
ed the theory of which the United
States department of justice bases
its claim that more rigorous federal
statutes are necessary in order that
propaganda injurious to the conduct
of the war may be successfully COM
bated A memorandum of the de-
partment says: "All questions of
motive should be most carefully ex :
cluded from those provisions of the
statute under which the more subtle,
dangerous and effective types of an
tiwar propaganda will have to be
fought" 1t is pointed out that the
practice of courts 10 the interpreta-
ton of war statutes is to instruct
juries to be careful and not mix
motive with intent" This is clear.
IL means putting acts of the civilian
population on practically the same
basis as act of the military, when
those acts bear upon the success or
injury of the conduct of the war.
The sleeping sentry is seldom al
most never-guilty ofintent to help
the enemy kill his soldier COM.
rade. And there are civilians thor
oughly sincere in their affection for
America and possessed of profound
hatred for Prussianism who let their
tongues wae who prattle and pro-
claim things helpful to the enemy.
The reasoning of the department
of justice is that the one who is un-
Intentionally pro.German must be
held responsible without relation to
motive, precisely as the army hold s
responsible the sentry who did not
mean TO 60 to sleep on duty.
Of course the high cost of living
has hit some people hard-especial-
ly the so called "salaried" worker
but either, through the exercise of
greater thriftiness or because the
disparity is not so great as asserted,
wage earners are getting along pref
ty comfortable. This adjustment to
war conditions has been carried out
successfully; can we do as we'll when
the time comes to adjust ourselves
to peace conditions?
We are hopeful we can. We be
lieve that we will turn with even
greater ,zest to the development of
our resources, the better concentra-
ton of our energies If when peace
comes we retain and maintain our
habits of thrift and industry which
the war has developed, work on in
stead of relax, hold fast instead of
let 60. we shall be able to make tn e
readjustment without undue heart
