II anybody says that this would be

adjourned, the right answer Is that
not by -thousandth part Is 1t SO
much politics, war or any other kind
rs IL Us sanity. not so much politics
as 1t Is security, not so much politics
MS 1t Is patriotism.
If anybody says that to elect n Re-
publican majority to Congress would
deprive President WILSON Of its sup
port in his conduct of the war, the
statement simply isn't true. That
argument itself is no more than n
slippery political dodge. Who Is there
now in the House or in the Senate,
Democrat or Republican, that fails to
vote the moneys that Mr.. WILSON 5
Administration needs for the war?
Who Is there, Democrat or Republi-
can, that fails to vote the guns, NUM-
lions, soldiers, sailors, ships that Mr..
WILSON needs for the war? Who Is
there, Democrat or Republican, that
fails to vote to give him the railroads,
the telegraphs. the telephones, that
he needs for the war? Who is there
that fails to vote to give him any
thing and everything he needs? Do
the Republican members Of Congress
ever fail In any single particular to
give President WILSON, for his con-
duct of the war, the fullest and the
strongest support? Nobody will hon.
| estly say so.
With Republican House, President
WILSON would still have the votes to
support his conduct of the war, and
they would be intelligent votes. They
would be sound votes. They would
be competent votes.

overturned the Democratic majority

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND AS A
PENSION GETTER.
He Got an Allowance for Murphy and
Then Had II Doubled.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: In
1907 I was president of the village Of
Saratoga Springs, N. Y. That year the
national G. A. II. encampment met
there. The late Archbishop Ireland was
national chaplain OF the G. A. r. 1t de.
volved upon me to show him the princi-
pal points Of interest in that vicinity.
He was accompanied by the late Bishop
McGoldrick. The latter told me this
incident in the career Of the Archbishop,
Private Murphy. who was a member
Of the regiment to which the Archbishop
was attached, was discharged for in
temperance O few weeks before the war
closed. Some years afterward while In
dire distress Private Murphy, through,
friends, Sought the Archblshop's aid in
getting a pension.
One time while in Washington on
other business the Archbishop appeared
before the Pension Board In behalf of
Private Murphy. The appeal was made,
the commissioners had held a consulta-
ton on the matter and the chairman
said to the Archbishop with a twinkle
In his eye: I'VE will grant the pension
and do anything else you ask In this
matter IL you tell us how such an ar
dent temperance advocate as you are
can consistently represent n man who
was discharged from the army for In
temperance" His Grace replied: "Pri-
vate Murphy when he entered the army
did not know the taste Of liquor. He
fell in with a few bad companions and
acquired the habit"
The pension was granted and the
chairman called the next case. but tho
Archbishop reminded the chairman
| that the Murphy case was not CLOSED
| as II was agreed that anything else. II
the reply was satisfactory. that he Uhe
Archbishop would ask would also be
granted. The chairman. somewhat as
| tonished, asked what II anything els,
could be done. We'll" said his Grace
Private Murphy at all critical times ir

and Its distribution In needful guam
titles to quarters essential to the
war.
According to the same authority
the consumption Of coal by the pub
lie is another phase of the problem
that has frequently been mlsunder-
stood. The coal controller in Eng
land has approved the principle of
saving coal In kitchens, but he has
objected to the use of gas and cleo
triclty for this purpose. Housewives
nre advised to use 25 per cent. less
coal than their rationed allowance.
In urging this 1t would have been
still better to counsel housewives to
accomplish what Is needed by using
gas instead Of coal whenever and
wherever opportunity may allow.
For one Of the greatest means of
economy Is the saving of the "stand
by" coal consumption Of kitchen
ranges and Of fires for warming
rooms.
In this view the question is very
largely question Of explosives. The
by-pr0lucts of coal supply the ma
terials Of munitions as we'll rs heat
and light. Most Of the argument is
purely technical, but 1t shows very
clearly that coal shortage such as
occurred in this country last year is
n far more serious thing than n tenn
porary lack Of coal for a kitchen
range. Moreover, the usual explana.
lions Of this shortage have not in.

A DOLLAR AN HOUR.
Shall the Industrial Army Have IL
When Fighters Get 81 Dayf

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: In
time of war We should have two armies.
the fghting army and the industrial
army. Each should wear a uniform and
be under absolute governmental control.
The wages. the hours OF labor. the
rules OF living. all should be determined
by the Government,
Every man in the United States owes
his life to the country. The manner In
which his life IS used, whether In the
front line in France or in the essential
industry here, is none Of his concern.
Those in supreme authority alone are
best able 10 determine how that life
should be used to the best advantage.
In the fighting army a man gets his
maintenance and s31 month. As to
hours of labor, n friend of mine in the
old Sixty-nnth has just written home
that he had been fighting two weeks,
almost without rest. Why should the
fighting army have less pay. more
hours OF labor and less privileges than
the industrial army in essential indus
tries?
A soldier overstays his leave and
becomes technically deserter. II
caught and convicted he gets from one
to twenty years in a military prison
Why should a worker in an essential
industry be treated differently?
How will YOU explain to the fighting
army when 1t returns the special privl-
leges of the industrial army"
l know an enlisted man who worked
eight hours a day and made $4,000
year in his business. He now gets
about $50 a month and Is liable 10
work twenty-four hours day. What
would happen to him II he struck
either for shorter hours or for moro
pay? II his strike happened at the
front he would be introduced to a firing
party.
Why should n worker in an essential
industry, shipyard or a munition fac
| tory, be treated differently?
A friend of mine who Is personnel

men are expert mechanics tells me tina,

THE VANISHING BILLIONS.
A Remarkable Suggestion: Save Some
OF Them With EcOn6my!

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: I
note that the Government is asking for
more than $1,000. 900, 900 to cover the de-
fciencies for the present fiscal year and
that It will need $4,000. 000, 900 for the
year also note that Congress is look
ing In every direction for new methods
and subjects Of taxation. but nowher
do see any mention of any better
method of spending the revenues
II all the revenues are being as waste
fully spent as are those which go out
in this section. all that is necessary to
cover deficiencies Is to have efficient
supervision Of the expenditures. thus
seeing that the Government received ade-
quate value for its outgo.
This would not only save the money
but would largely increase revenues from
income and excess profit taxes by en-
aiding business concerns to operate more
efficiently and economically.

II the Red Cross were to have these
boxes made and sell them to the people

think they could have them made cheaply
and distribute them throughout the coun-
try and sell them at a fixed price and
in this way help the Red Cross fund.

One Yankee Infan try man.

The American infantryman is the
most telling force against the German
army. OF course there Is plenty of
honor to be distributed elsewhere,
hut the man with the rifle and the
bayonet is the largest item in an or
ganizaton whose freshness, strength
and spirit are the most valuable pos
session of the associated enemies Of
Prussian autocracy.
We have perhaps n million and
half Of these Yankee infantrymen
in Europe. BY next June, IL neces-
sary, the total will swell to four
millions. These men, who used to
produce things that sold for money,
are engaged upon the work of produc-
Ing something that money cannot
buy: Liberty. They are adding moth
ing directly to the material wealth Of
the world, but an imponderable for
tune to the happiness of 1t, soon and
forever. Meanwhile they are being
supported by the money Of those who,
for n variety Of reasons, cannot go
with them. 1t Is impossible to value
what they are doing, but what 1t is
costing per man can be reduced to
figures. The cost of each private SOL
der abroad Is as follows:
Equipment .................,. s157.7l
subsistence ................... 251.S5
Ray .................. $4,000
Total ................... SS05.56
There are other money charges
which cannot be set down so exactly
rs the experts Of the army have cal
culated these items. 1t may be as
sumed, however, that the cost Of
transportation across, Of ammunl-
ton, and of the trip home OF a man
will not exceed S194.44. This amount
added to the $SO5.56 makes a round
thousand dollars. \ man who can

Christmas Is
Chhdren;s Day

The message of Christmas is love.
Its emblem is radiant, thankful, con.
tented childhood. Without love and
without children there could be no
real Christmas. The form might sur
vive but the substance would be lack.
ing.
Unhappy must be the adult who can
not make himself a child again in
spirit Mt the Yuletide. For Christmas
is the universal children's day. Men
and women are supertluous except as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day gloriflcs.
Let us, then, lay aside the affecta.
ton and arrogance Of manhood and
womanhOOd and be children again.
Let us adopt their point of view ana
put ourselves in their pluces--in the
places of these sons and daughters of
ours and of the sons and daughters of
our neighbors. 1t was only year or
two ago, as 1t seems, when we hung
our well-worn stockings in a row along
the mantel shelf. while our fathers
and mothers looked on with unfcigncd
pleasure at the innocent confidence we
showed in what the morrow would
bring forth.
Even as you and I. 1t all comes
back in a flood of memories. Life
was simpler then. Our desires were
less pretentious than those our chill
dren voice now. Modest remcmbrnnces
they were that bulgcd toe and heel of
the stockings mother knit.
Life and its circumstances change,
but the essence of Christmas never.
The same happy childhood, the same
restlessness, the same snail-llkc creep
ing Of time as the holiday approaches.
The same pnrenthoOd. too-the same
planning across the reading table after
the boys and girls are abed, the same
loving consideration of what this or
that child most desires and how far
the family purse can properly be
stretched to permit some further pur-
chase.
Every home is assured Christmas
If 1t has great, warm heart pulsating
in tune with the hopes and joys of
childhood.-Exchange.
