SAVE

The War Savings Stamp campaign
has two phases, each of big impor.
lance. 1t teaches thrift and it helps
the government to pay the expenses
of the war which is waged to perpet.
uate that government.
1t is not in accordance with the
spirit of the plan to withdraw money
from savings bank and invest it in
War Savings stamps or certificates.
That is not thrift; it merely is a
transfer Of investment 1t goes half
way, perhaps. because it helps to sup
ply money to the government, but 1t
adds nothing to the habit of thrift
which should be one of the great ad-
vantages America can count, at the
end of the war, to balance in some
measure the sacrifices and the losses.
The method Of buying war savings
certificates is planned to encourage
systematic saving. A portion of each
weeks wage should be invested in
stamps, and the certificates should
represent cumulative saving aside
from bank accounts or other evidences
of personal thrift and providence.
Buy war savings certificates. buy
them through current thrift. Follow
the plan in its entirety, so the total
of investments in these securities
shall be the measure of the American
public's new found ability to save
from current income. Then the in
weston will receive as much benefit as
does the government.

HOG ISLAND is RIGHT

1t would not be fair to anticipate AT.
torney General Gregory's investigation
of the Hog Island shipyards, but cur
sorry examination of the facts which
have been made public thus far indi-
Gates that somebody knew what he
was about when he named the place
Hog Island.
A list Of salaries which was present
ed to one of the senate committees re-
Gently indicates that nearly everyone
on the payroll of the shipbuilding CON-
pany is compelled to pay excess prof.
its taxes, surfaces and other sorts OF
taxes. The lowest monthly salary on
the list was $433, the sum paid to
the chief of the guards, sort OF glori-
fled night Waterman.
From that figure the monthly sal.
aries ranged to $4,000 and $4,000. the
latter amount being the monthly sti-
pend of the general manager.
These salaries were paid by the conf
pany and were part of the expense Of
the enterprise which entered into the
contract of the government under
which the company received the cost
of ships, plus a stated percentage OF
profit The greater the expense, of
course, the greater the profit to the
stockholders OF the company.
1t is to the credit of Mr.. Hurley and
other officials Of the shipping board
that they have asked for the govern
mental investigation of the company's
affairs. And 1t must not be made occa.
sion for great alarm or dismay If the
result of the inquiry shows that mil
lions of the public's money have been
thrown away. In the long run, If the
yards turn out good ships in goodly
number, the actual cost in dollars will
be trivial in comparison to the benefit
cial effect ON the country's war
activities.
The feature which stands out and
will persist after the furry of investi-
cation is forgotten is that such ex-
travagances as have become common.

Lacking that warning, they are suscep-
tible to the arguments presented By
the ENJOYS Of the Nonpartisan league;
they pay their money into its treasury
and learn. only too late, that they
have contributed to a campaign to
wreck the very institutions on which
their prosperity Is based.
The Courier does not attempt to as
sign a reason for Governor Harding's
persistent refusal to permit official
and authoritative revelation Of tho
facts which he and the defense council
know. Neither do we attempt to ex-
plain the weakness displayed by the
defense council in remaining silent
even at the governors request.
Can It be that the governors course
is dictated by considerations of hts
political future?

REFORM

It is such a season as this, when
candidates for public Offices are un-
yelling their ambitions or giving heed
to the earnest solicitation of their
many friends" which rivets the con-
viction that among all the crimes COM
mitted in the name Of reform, the
primary law ranks close to the very
top Of the list.
There was a time when nomination
and election to ONCE carried certain
honor and conferred certain distinc-
ton on q man. His success in con-
vention and campaign was proof that
his fellow citizens considered him
particularly fitted to represent the
dominant party and worthy of it's
trust and united support. II meant.
too, as a rule, that before he was
chosen for place on the party ticket
he and his past had submitted to a
more or less careful inquiry which had
resulted in the discovery of no grin
ming skeletons in his closet. It
meant, usually that in contest with
the rival party's representative, he
had been able not only to hold his
own party strength but to win some
votes from the ranks of the opposi-
ton.
All that is Of the past The reform
ers discovered a terrible system OF
ring politics in the old plan OF pre-
cinct primaries and delegate conven-
TONS They argued quite eloquently
in support of the primary law, and
while few of us-old fogies, to be
sure-were unconvinced, reform" had
its way.
And now, see what the primary
law has done. Offices don't care n
rap who runs for them now When
the voter casts his primary ballot-if
he takes sufficient interest in the
nominations to cast ,it-he finds one
or two names he recognizes. listed
with a lot which are unfamiliar. He
has promised to vote for some friend,
perhaps. or some friends friend,

vENTRJLooulsM

(From Thursdays DailyD
A London dispatch yesterday quoted
gossip heard about the house Of parlia.
ment to the effect that Austrfa-Hun-
gary, reluctant to fight combined Brit
ish and American armies on the west
ern front was ripe for separate peace
on such terms as the entente allies
might be willing to grant.
Doubtless, by listening industriously,
one might hear rumors even more
startling than this one on the opening
day of an important session of parlia-
ment. Doubtless, too, some Of those
rumors might have more foundation In
fact than the one which the London
Daily News published and which was
cabled to America.
While there is every reason to be-
lieve that Austria Hungary, from the
emperor king down to the lowliest
dispatched private in the ranks OF
the army, would be heartily glad to be
out Of the war, there are just as many
reasons to believe that the Teutonic
alliance will hang together until 1t is
flattened out by the weight of Amer
lean, British and French military
strength and its statesmen summoned
into peace conference to be told that
in the future they must follow the
straight and narrow path laid down
for governments and exercise due re-
gard for the laws of men and nations.
Count Czernin intimated that he
sent an advance draft Of his recent
peace speech to President Wilson, an
intimation, by the way, for which
there is no foundation in fact. He did
not mention the fact that the speech
itself. was dictated word for word by
Chancellor Won Hertling, but of this
there can be not the slightest doubt in
the mind of anyone who has studied
the whole series of peace offers from
the capitals of the central powers.
It was Austria that appeared over
anxious to accept the terms Of Pope
Benedict's peace proposal. 1t was Aus
tria that issued the invitation to the
allies to join in peace negotiations at
Brest-Litovsk; it was Austria that ten
tatively flashed the olive branch be-
fore President Wilson. But 1t was a
manikin Austria perched on the knee
of helmeted Germany, whose mailed
fist was hidden in the "innards" of the
little fellow, pulling strings and wig
Cling levers which twisted Austria's
grinning head from side to side and
wagged its painted lips in grotesque,
fashion.
Austria Hungary is not ripe for
separate peace, just because Germany
will not permit it to be.
