NOT ENOUGH HATE

It does appear that the American
people even at this late date have not
come fully to a realization OF what
war like the war Germany is waging
means. We haven't worked ourselve.'
up to the proper pitch of hate yet.
We believe with Lloyd George that to
fight a man or a nation we have to
hate them. It's hard to shoot to kill
feeling sorry for your victim. The
Americans are becoming disillusioned
recently regarding the oft repeated
story of "It's all the Kaiser, the Ger
man people are all right" This story
of the people deplOring what their
Kaiser made them do has proven the
gravest rot for the allies. This line
of talk lost the Italians 10000 men
and all their heavy ordnance after one
of the most infamous tricks ever per-
petrated by one civilized nation upon
another. The recent drive has proven
the morale of the German army, which
is excellent as it has been at all times
during the war. Every drive and ev-
cry thrust proves they have zest
for murder, rape and torture. MUIR
der of the most blood curdling variety
has been done in such a wholesale
way so many times that we seem dull
led to it, but when the American cas-
ualty lists begin to come back printed
in hundreds or thousands Of lines OF
small type-then well begin to under
stand the feelings of France, Belgium
Russia, Britain and Italy. It's Ger
many and Austria Hungary and Tur-
key and Bulgaria, composing the
greater part Of Europe in population
and territory, that we have to hate

THE SOLDIER AND THE
BOND BUYER

at is a sacred duty of every citizen
and it should be regarded as q glor-
ious privilege by every patriot to up
hold the Governments credit with the
same kind of self-sacrifice and nobil-
ity of soul that their gallant sons ex-
hibit when they die for us on the bat
tie fields of Europe"
Secretary McAdoo has issued no
stronger call upon the American peo-
pie to support the Liberty Loan. The
third loan will soon be opened. Be-
hind every American soldier In
France, back of every American sail
or on the seas, there should be a
worker and bond buyer at home
Theirs is the Drawer part, but we also
remain at home can be no less useful
if we exhibit that self-sacrifice that
they demonstrate in risking their
lives.
If the American people possess and
put into effective force the same faith
in Americanism that the Germans
show for their kultur, the struggle
between German kultur and American
civilization will be a short one and
Americas victory overwhelming.
We may be little slow, may have
much inertia to overcome, but Amer
lean might, like the mills of the gods
may grind slowly but will grind eX'
ceeding fine.

Brings Out Startling Truths.
Government control has brought out
these startling truths:
More people unnecessarily make
their living out of wheat distribution
than was suspected. Thousands and
thousands of little spectators have
had TO turn elsewhere for livelihood.
A number of commission men have
had to close shop. There are places
where elevators should be built and
other places where there are too many
elevators. The Government, dominant
ing the wheat market, carries its own
marine insurance. Wheat handlers at
terminals have had their activities re-
stricted.
But most Of all II is interesting to
see how the price of flour per barrel
tumhled from the time Uncle Sam took
positive hand in the matter. The
Food Administration has recently COM
pleted an interesting chart on the
prices of wheat and bulk -four at Min
neapolis. In statement OF Novem-
Der 20. the Food Administration says:
The farmer received for the 1915 har.
vest between S1.I5 and $3.50 per bushel
for the harvest, taking the country by
large and .. Last year he received
under 90 per cent OF the price OF the LOAF.
Today he is receiving over 40 per cent OF
the money paid for the cash loaf. this
being the result Of the sterilization OF
prices and the total elimination OF hoard
ing and speculation in this industry.
The statement reports that farmers
on November &c were receiving with
freight charges included from the ter
rltory represented to Minneapolis, up
nroyimately $3.50 for Az bushels OF
wheat. The price of bulk flour at the
Minneapolis mill is about S10.25 per
barrel. showing that the miller is now
receiving about - cents per barrel,
which must include both his operating
expenses and profit.
