 In London before there such measure or conscription as there is now newspapers printed advertisements by persons seeking employment In which the fact was more less brazeny Haunted that the advertisers were proof against military serv ice. We do not see such advertisements now and we do not think they ever should have been allowed to specify that peculiar and sometimes disgraceful qualification for employment
 If wanted to hire man we certainly would not employ who would lay stress upon the cir cumstance that he could not be inducted into the military service-one who would parade either dis grace misfortune.
 We know that employers in making up their worl-forces would invite some inconvenience in talk ing on a man who might be called away within a month But the is imposing inconveniehces of many kinds and degrees, and those of us who are patriotic are accepting them.
 We think that in the end employers would sui fer little loss in giving work to Class 1 men for the short time they will be with us soldier who goes to the front after having been regarded by employ CTS pariah because of his eligibility for mili- tary service does not carry with him great sense of devotion to that part of his native land from which he has come.

Our Riuht to be in War

There is nobody now saying anything against the war, at least openly, though suppose there are many pacifists, anarchists and pro- Germans doing a lot of thinking and talking in whispered tones among themselves. There is therefore, need of any argument in favor of the but quoting from Stuart P sherman professor of English in the university of Illinois Ameriean and Allied ideals ''an appeal to those who neither hot cold" that is, to those who not Laodiceans:
 It is generally agreed among liberal thinkers that
 nation which does not conduct itself like beast of prey, a nation which has long followed of tolerably decent behavior at home and abroad, has both EatuTal and prescriptiye right to live It is
 corollary of this agreement that such nation has
 right to defend it's life from foreign aggression think may be bold to say that defending it's life is it's duty and responsibility imagine it will also be conceded that the life of nation in cludes not merely the lives and property of living generations but also the common principles and ideals, the national culture, which these living gen. erations have received a sacred inheritance from their forefathers, and which they cherish price less possession to be bequeathed to their posterity Finally I suppose shall agree that the United States is such nation with such rights duties and such ideals and principles.

Lihertx Bond Suhscriptions


 Now that the third Liberty loan campaign has ended it may be pointed out that there are ways of raising money for the urgent needs of the govern ment that better than other ways Two ways at first recognized contributions of accumulated capital and contributions of current earnings Though the money from either source of much value to the government for the purpose intended money from the other source it made a vast difference to the country, which source it came from
 The government encouraged as far as it could, contributions current earnings but the bulk of the subscriptions of all three the represents accumulated capital.
 But under the latter head there have been many subscriptions which have effect rather more detrimental than the absorption of accumulated capital
 In public address week ago MT Samuel Un- termyer of New York stated that he had invested in Liberty bonds under the three loans to the amount of about $15000O0. He had tried to invest more than s3,00O,OOO but his aotments limited. It MT. Untermyers purpose to show that he had been moved by patriotism. and undoubtedly he moved. He could have made investments that would have been far more remunerative Only those who remember the arguments of MT. Untermyer against the heavy tax could have had any doubt that his investments had been periodically inspired
 MT. Untermyer added that he had borrowed prac-
 
 bonds and that he owed it yet. Thereby he raised question the net value to the country of his investment It has been pointed out that while he contributed handsomely to the governments need at the time for single individual, contributed enormously to the imitation of credit in this country and an imitation of either credit currency is bad thing for the country It has the effect of lowering the value of the dollar the same time of credit This effect manifests itself in higher prices
 The trouble with Mir. Untermyers subscription is that there is no replacement of the accumulated capital which he had borrowed to buy the bonds The government got the money, it is true but the place from which it taken is still empty except for Mir. Untermyer's I. O. Us These documents of course will be taken up by him. He could pay them at any time. He could have paid cash for the bonds if he had chosen to do so his accumulated capital and have avoided credit imitation.
 His is different from that of the man who buys bonds on the installment plan or that of the man who borrows money at his bank to buy them, with the understanding that the money is to be re- paid in instalments he earns it. with newly created wealth. That is the investment of current savings In bonds, the very thing the government wants
 But what ever defects there may be in Mir Un- termyers way of subscription it is far better than no way at all. If there should be lack of contri button, either from current savings or accumulated capital the government might find it necessary to in- Hate our currency and the would be the same though on much wider scale than Mir Untermyer's imitation of credit.

MIME. PATTI AT 75 YEARS OLD

Mme. Patti. who celebrated her seventy-f fifth birthday few days ago, possesses the secret of per ennal youth and few, not knowing the facts, would guess that over half century has elapsed since the voice of the beautiful and vvacious mistress of Craig y-Nos first charmed audience.
 When thus far back she creating furore. in Vienna, Motley, Sir William Harcourts father-in law heard her, and left interesting personal note:
 "She is dear, unsophisticated little thing, very good and very pretty and innocent She considers herself an American, and sang Home Sweet Home after dinner the other day because she said she sure we should like to hear it. and she sang it delightfully."-"
 But Home, Sweet Home" to please Americans? Well, the song which stands to us. next to the uonal anthem, the song of native land-is American. John Howard Payne wrote it, though Sir Henry Bishop may be identified with the melody. It is the home song Britain alone, all the English speaking race

The Baby Haters

We notice that legislation is proposed in an eastern state against landlords who discriminate against tenants with children We have often thought that if all owners of rentabe property should make such discrimination, and all of them have as much right to do one, the problem of birth control would be long way toward solution. Much more than half the people this country do not own their own homes. If they deprived of the right or privilege of parenthood, the country would be in bad way.
 The landlord though is not always to blame for his antipiathy to children The average child say be- tween the ages of two and ten is destructive animal to say nothing of being a noisy one, disturbing to the vcinage. The landlord naturally does not prefer his Parents generally to blame for not bringing up their children and proving their right to the custody of children
 One noisy. saucy ill-bred boy or girl may pre- judce landlord against the whole tribe of boys and girls and he interdcts them in single order and gets 10 be called baby hater when, as a matter of fact he knows nothing about the of chl- dren. He only knows that he doesn't want to~make any experiments with them.
 We cannot think what form the legislation against landlords should take Something, of course, ought to be done. In the first place, the landlord might be compelled reason and ascertain what kind of children he is prohibiting. He could be compelled to grant limited, short term leases to families with children. If they proved be unruly saucy, noisy and destructive he should be al- lowed to terminate the lease summarily.
 But something ought to be done about it. It is leaving too much power the hands of landlords to allow them to suppress future generations.

THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE PRESS

The reading of Slavic papers written by Savs for Savs doesn't make of Americans. It per petuates of Slavs living in America. The printing of German papers in German by Germans for Germans doesn't make of good United States citizens. It puts in our country German colony, loyal to Germany believing in Germany, but ready and willing and eager to stab in the back this strange, outland country of America in which it lives
 It is all perfectly understandable. Foreign language papers present to their readers only the sentiment of foreign writers. America is not repre- scented. It is precisely though in court there counsel for the defense, but only for the prosecution. What chance do you think, would the prisoner have under such conditions? And the funny part of it all is that it's our court.
 It be said without fear of successful contro- version that the first step toward Americanizng America is the abolition of the foreign language press. American news for American citizens" should be motto. And it should be lived up to-
 There are those fatheaded enough to argue that to abolish the foreign language would be in uaventon to free speech I see such contraven- ton. Free speech is thing Free speech that mo- body but the free speakers understand is thing entirely different If I'm going be I'd like to know what it's all about. The fact that couple of red eyed Teutons with head behind the ears can stand around and gargle things behind my back that l can't understand has not bearing free speech than bunch of children talking hog Latin behind the North Center school. If speech going to be free, why not let all in on it?
 The main idea that I hear about freedom of speech is like Germany's idea of the freedom They want it free for Germany, and closed up tighter than drum otherwise.
 Foreign language speech never has been free, and never can be free It's for the select few of necessity They are the only that can talk, and under stand. To be free, speech should be universal. And the more universal it is the freer it becomes. So language speech defeats itself the ouset-Porter Emerson Browne in McClures Magazine.
