Profiteering in the United States
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
u IT r. HYDE'S dispatch from Washington suggests
MI that the general charges of widespread profiteer
caution may well be emphasized. To accept these col
ecve accusations their face value is that
the majority Of business men unpatriotic and un
scrupulous; it is to that the whom

advantage of their position to mulc the country and
possibly to imperl military success.
Human sefshness has taken many ugly forms
that it would be idle suppose that there has
than few examples of profiteering In of
these doubtless the profits obtained the
result OF unusual circumstances rather than deliberate
intention In Others the other hand, the broad de-
nunca brought forward by Socialists and other ra
Gals probably quite applicable.
We do think, however that the great majority
the counrys business primarily actuated by
other motive than the nation At any there

The treasury department has reported certain in

far these indicate deliberate profteerng the
guilty should be sought out and punished Perhaps

that heavier excess profits tax should be imposed
But there is occasion for hystercal thinking or

The Effect of Good Clothing

The psychological effect of clothing in produc-
ing either favorable or unfavorable impressions
is well known. Of course. the principle cannot
be applied to an extreme for Abe Martin, cloth
ed in the finest garments that could be bought
in Indianapolis, would still be a Brown county
product and manly figure, finely proportional,
would still be of natures noblest products
despite the rags and tatters covering it. Never
theless, well-cut and tailored clothes will i'm
prove the appearance of Abe Martin and suit
Of good clothing will enhance UNNECESSARILY a
man with good carriage. The best proof for
this is the improved appearance of many Of our
boys in natty and nifty uniforms.
"A Harvard professor recently amazed con-
vention of clothing manufacturers and dealers"
says the Portland Oregonian, "by delivering an
address upon this topic, in which he laid down
several principles about the effect of clothing
upon the wearer, and the surprise of his hearers
was due to the discovery that what the learned
man had dignified by long word was nothing
more than what more commonly passes for COM
mon sense. A good many of the things he said
were already known to them, if they had stopped
= to think. When he placed them under the head
of psychology they sat up and took notice
"He said, for example, that the well dressed
dressed man. He said that clothes that do not
fit prevent the wearer from doing his best.
Cleanliness promotes self-respect. Self-respect
is contagious, like confidence. The man who does
not think well of himself is unlikely to win the
good opinion of others. Comfortable clothing,
made of good material well brushed, was the
foundation of the superstructure, he said. He
was talking to hard-headed business men, and
they believed him, because their own experience
showed his statements to be true"
Army leaders recognize the salutary effect
of clean clothing on clean-shaved soldier. Clean
illness and neatness of appearance stimulate the
morale of the fighter. For that reason British
soldiers shave every morning even when they
are in the front line trenches and undergoing
severe Smelling from the enemy Correspondents
comment on this feature of British army life. It
did not take American officers long to discover
its beneficent effect and American soldiers were
carly taught that mornings shave was an inte-
grail part of army life. Clean uniforms also were
demanded
Even civilians mark the well dressed man who
buys his clothing with eye to smartness and
who keeps them we'll pressed and in good condi-
tion. Heads of selling organizations will not
tolerate sloveny representatives of their firms,
because they fear the psychological effect on
buyers.

His theory was that the merger

material and other supplies in large
quantities. The M. Rumely company

 As the purpose of the food con- servation movement is mainly to avoid waste. the object is expressed in the old nursery rhyme is a way to be remembered by all, particularly the children And if we can get the children to quoting the old rnyme and, connecting it, thru the club movement, with the aim to avoid waste and conserve food, success will attend the efforts of the tood admin istration and all patriotic people anxious to help in beating the Huns

SECRETARY DANIELS PRAlSES
 NEWSPAPERS.

I I'm an address before the Ballilnof> ] Press club, Josephus Dan'eis, secre- tary of the navy, recently pad qul'e a tribute to the service which LII newspapers of the country nave reh- lereJ since the American declafa7 tion of war against Germany.
 "Tbe press of America he said, has won national gratitude cy US splendid spirit of service during tae mast year. With few exceptions, the newspapers have put service of couh- try above everything else. News has been secondary to service. During the days after relations were seVefel with Germany it was to te papers that the people looked for clear |nresentation of the duty oi tnls couii- try. It rang clear and trug, and when the declaration of war was made in solemn assertion of naton- al duty the press was atmcst un't i'm support of the nchle utierances of the president And from that hour whether it was in support ot the ghe- lective draft the recruiting cam paign, propaganda for the Liberty loan, food and fuel conservation, the drives for the Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A., or leading ill community bonors paid to youths going to war whatever the call, the press nas re s.uonded with a cheerful Aye, aye, si,-' and has led in the enthusiastic support of every measure for nat'on- al unity and national victory. The splendid way in which the press as q whole has risen to the occasion aad measured up to it's respcnslDlllele" has given me an added pride in the profession.
 "The newspaper men in this hour are the eyes and ears Cf the 0uo- lie. which has right to know what the government is doing. It IS the'f duty to tell the story jus; at it IS, neither maenifying defects nor mln- imizing accomplishments. in every country at war except America there is strict censorship of tae press. Here we have none. The government through it's committee on public in formation, has formally requested the newspapers to refrain from publish ing certain information fo., military reasons. Officials in many eases have taken newspaper men into theii confidence, and rarely has the coa1l- dencel been abused"
 Newspapers have realized from the beginning of the war tha: they nave had a distinct and important dut. to perform, in backing the govern ment in carrying through a war pro gram which will mean GermanEs l defeat. They havei striven earnest I ly to awaken the people to the dang
 CTS of tPrussian autocracy and tlf l need for many sacrifices on the par
 of the people at home in crder thai
 the soldiers at the fighting front
 and the people of the nations as
 sociated with the United States i'
 the war shall not suffer fer lack 0
 food and other supplies.
 There is still, however, much Wofl
 ahead for the newspapers. Secre
 tary Daniels has praised them fol
 what they have done in the past. H'
 can also depend upon a large majori ty of them to meet the issues of in
 war with the proper spirit in tn
 future.-Little Rock Democrat,
