In announcing his candidacy for
nomination for Governor, DR.. II. H.
Cherry says emphatically that he IS
consistent prohibitionist, has new
CT cast a vote for the open saloon
and ii elected will work for the en-
actment of state and national pro-
hibition.
This is putting things straight
and we, are not disappointed in the
man who put it. DR.. Cherry merits
the support of the Kentucky Demo-
Gratis ii for no other reasons than
this: he is not afraid to tell where
he stands.

There are some who seem to think
that BECAUSE the war is ended the
law to fprce a man to work thirty
six hours a week is null and void.
But it Is as live as ever. Many con-
fuse fhe "work or fight order with
this law, but they are entirely differ
ent. The former is state law and
is active for an indefinite period; d
man is as liable to trial for vagracy
now as before the war. The latter
was wartime legislation, the penalty
Tor which was induction into the
service, and of course, is dead.
however the thirty-six hour law is
active and habitual loafers had best
watch out.

SUSTAINED BY FAITH

Thousands of our finest young men
are renouncing all that life holds
dear in order that the next generation
and those that follow may live in a
world freed from the oppression and
brutality of organized and aggressive
force. Thousands of mothers all over
the land are finding comfort in the
faith that defeat of Germany will
bring with it defeat for all time Of
the theories and the institutions that
have impelled Germany to plunge the
world into this red horror, just as
they would have impelled any nation
where the minds Of men lived under
their baneful sway. President Will
son has set the Nations seal on this
faith-a faith holy with the tears of
women and the blood of men. 1t in
wolves the defeat of Germany only be-
cause the German Government has
become the supreme exponent of the
craftsmanship that relics on force and
aggression. British labor would not
go on for a single day without this
faith, if the war were struggle be-
tween parochial nationalism and moth
ing more. Pacifist America,-pacifist
in the sense that the President is
pacifis would not face the stupen-
dous sacrifices that lie ahead of us if
we were not sustained by this faith.
We are united for the defeat of Ger
many as the first necessary step in
its realization.

THE FOOD PROBLEM

The problem of food production is
rapidly passing the stage of crisis.
Only a month remains as the outside
limit for seeding land in even the
most northerly areas. The American
people seem capable of approaching
this problem only under the menace
of actual famine. They do not un-
dedstand that the hunger of next win
ter must be averted now. 1t is as
sumed that if the war continues our
Allies must have food. If the fight
ing in France this summer is incon-
elusive, the fact that food will win the
war will have a CHASTITY demonstra-
ton. Victory will fall not merely to
the side that has reserve of men left,
but to the side that has an extra ra-
ton. No army or people can resist
the Generalization that is entailed by
extreme hunger. There is every rea-
son to believe that the Central Pow
ers will be in worse straits than the
Allies; but there is verey prospect
that next winter will be a period of
undreamed privation. Evidence is ac-
cumulating that wheat production in
this country will fall far below the
level of last season. The situation
is one of grave emergency calling for
drastic measures. 1t is obvious that
we are incapable within limited
period of so reconstituting the basis
Of our agricultural industry as to give
the farmer that which has been denied
him for generation real chance
to exist But what we can do is to
take as war measures the urgent
steps in connection with seed, machin-
cry, labor, farm credit, storage,
transportation, and the packing in
ing the imminent food shortage Of
next winter. @r

I. DOING GOOD WORK

The Young Women's Christian As
ISOLATION leaped into prominence last
fall when it secured five million dol
lars from public which had already
given generously to other organiza-
tions. Nothing attracts attention
more than getting money--except dis
pensing money. The association, so
long a poor relation of the big philan-
thropies, is now spending with the
best of them. But it is spending like
a thrifty housewife who knows the
value of penny.
The immediate protection of women
and girls affected by the war is the
task undertaken. All the resources
of the society, long experience with
girls, and the cooperation of about
thousand local associations from the
Atlantic to the Pacific are directed to-
ward this end. The new activities
are war phases of work which has
been carried on through a half CEN
fury of peace. The general lines fol-
lowed in this emergency work are
Hostess Houses in the camps, emer-
gency housing of employed girls,
foreign community work among wom-
en- who can't speak English, Bureau
of Social Morality, work in colored
communities affected by the war, and
extended recreational work among
girls in the vicinity of the canton
ments. ~
