A VOLUNTARY BOYCOTT.

It Is evident that without regard to what the
nations may decide or commercial bodies al
vise concerning a trade war after the war, there
Is to be boycott and that German manufactur-
ers- are to be the victims. In fact, voluntary
boycott is already In operation, according to a
news despatch saying that a hardware concern
in an eastern city has announced that II VIII
keep no German-nade goods IN stock or offer
them for sale The company had on hand
quantity of German pocket knives, but it re
fused to sell them. The incident is significant
enough to command attention IN Germany
where many responsible men have expressed
tbe opinion that trade would return to old chan
neIs coon after a declaration of peace and that
even in the markets Of present enemy countries
German commercial interests would have little
difficulty in establishing profitable trade rela-
tons. Those who hold this view take little ac-
count of the hatred Of Germany that now ex-
lists throughout the larger part of the c1vlilzed
world There is no way to compel people 10 puy
or sell goods they do not care to handle.

HOW THE INITIATIVE WORKS OUT.

Oregon has had rude awakening from the
dream Of improvement In legislation through
the initiative. It would seem to be a pleasant
fiction that state s initiated laws spring spon-
taneously from the people. Recently in Oregon
efforts were made to put seven measures on the
ballot in the way approved by men who hailed
the introduction of the initiative as an import
ant reform What happeneda Only two of the
bills received sufficient number Of signatures
Of the seven measures under consideration the
saost important was emergency war tax bill,
which can be enacted only by vote Of the peo-
pIe This bill failed, and without its enactment
either state war activities the ordinary oper-
alton OF state government will be hampered.
Apparently the people of Oregon had an at
tractive opportunity to their power to good
-.GIvantage, but they showed less interest In the
AK bill than in two comparatively worthless
measures that seemed to appeal to some one who
had money enough to make his support effec-
tive Of course, the explanation Is simple. 1t
is that initiated measures, instead Of sprlnglng
from the people, usually spring from the pocket
/ book. The paid petition hawker is an essential
to direct legislation Something might be adj
ded about an essential to the direct primary,
but that Is another story.

LIBERTY BONDS AS LEGAL TENDER.

One reason why persons who knew the value
of his public service hoped that Paul NJ War
burg would reconsider his determination not
to remain a member Of the federal reserve
board was that Mr.. Warburg had an establish
ed standing as practical man, who was always
sure of his ground and never talked unless ne
had something worth while to say. His mastery
of the art of strai ght thinking and direct eA-
preston appears in his statement OF objections
to the proposal in the house of representatives
committee on ways and means that Liberty
bonds be made legal tender in the United States
He says the plan is impracticable and unseen
tifc Whyf Because, ''as legal tender we can
only consider that which is due and payable
upon presentation, while Liberty bonds are due
after fifteen to thirty years" To make has con-
tention SO clear that there can be no mlsunder-
standing, Mr.. Warburg takes the case OF an en-
ploye who might have to accept his salary IN
the form of a e-hundred-dollar Liberty bond.
He could not pay his household expenses III
these bonds, because they do not exist in such
small denominations He would have to sell,
and the situation would be complicated by the
fact that the ''bonds would have a varying
value according to the accrued interest carried
by them from time to time"
No wonder Mr.. Warburg condemns the plan
as impracticable or that he believes It's adop-
ton would result in serious financial disturb
ance. He speaks a financial expert The
public has much confidence IN his judgment,
and the house ways and means committee
would do well to listen to him.

Quotations From Religious
Paper of Drinking in Army
4 Challenged
RESULT OF FOOD TALK
Article Quoted as Saying Officers
We're Drunk After Reach
ing France

COLLEGEvII.IE. Feb. 20--All COL
isgeville is discussing quotation from
religious paper offered by the Rev.
William $. Clapp, pastor of the Trinity
Reformed Church. during announcements
from the pulpit at church services last
Sunday night
The clergyman had read the call OF the
Administration for food conservation,
following a brief talk on prohibition,
He said many persons are not following
the provisions, because the Admlnistra-
tion is allowing the use of grains for
brewing purposes
At that point Mr.. Clapp quoted from
the religious periodical that woman
In a French seaport had said a large
number Of American officers were drunk
after they arrived in France \, u.
Fetterolf. former Assomblyman. whose
son is an officer in the service, objected
TO the remark. shouting, That Is not
true"
ITO my knowledge the statement has
never been challenged said Mr Clapp
The clergyman concluded his an
nouncements without any more inter-
ruptions. but after the services Professor
Omwake. principal OF Ursinus College,
asked MIR. Clapp where he got his IN
formation and he replied from "a
church organ Professor Omwake re-
marked that the statement was very
much pro-German and should never have
been believed.
The Rev. william Yenser, retired
clergyman, who was in the cougrega-
.-tien, remarked that he did not believe
such a report.
"lf many of the officers Of these trans
ports were drunk. how about the chap,
lain?' he inquired. He IS an officer
of the regiment to which he has been
assigned"
Discussing the incident last night Mr.
Clapp said the quotation had been taken
from Cleveland, O., religious paper. the
Expositor, current issue. lie said the
statement had been made for a pa
triotic purpose and that he had acted
in the best of faith without desire to
,rter anything that sounded pro-Ger-
man. He added that he has not heard
the incident discussed since il occurred
