The German soldier today is not capable of
healthy morale; his experiences have taught
him so often that he is sent against at best
line which yields only slightly, and that the
cost of that gain is the man VINO started out
his partner. Whatever gain in territory there
may be at the end of a drive will not equal the
loss Of life. And no amount of territorial gain
can erase from the brain of the soldier the ter
lible slaughter which the gain has exacted
We can understand how the support back
home is tried; we appreciate how consistently
the reports have read: The Germans gained
slightly but at an awful cost of life" And we
can understand how territory, physical by ma
lure, seems so much stronger as evidence than
The morale, which is intangible But it is never
tEeess true however we may tend to Judge by
signs instead of looking at the struggle in a
far-sighted manner that morale is the really
determining factor. The test at home is to-
hold to this fact in the face of all temptations
and the patriot whose faith shakes and falls as
things seem to turn against his forces, is not
Vel founded in his patriotism

very convincing, and at the same time l.
Eliminating, bulletin from the U. S. Food Adj
IniHstration has come to our hands recently
winch tells OF campaign for the utilization Of
garbage, inaugurated by the Administration and
taking the specific form of recommendations to
housekeepers that they keep their garbage
(kltchen and table refuse) in a container sep
aIate from that used for other house refuse
The statistics cited to show the waste under
present haphazard systems include both large
and small cities. In reference to The latter class
the bulletin says
Over $50 American cities of between 10000
and 100000 population are not utilizing their
garbage. Their combined population exceeds g.
100000 and utilization of their garbage as hog
feed would yield 60,000,0OO pounds"
AS evidence of what is actually wasted in
garbage, witness the following figures:
In one ton of garbage there is sufficient
glycerine to make the explosive charge for
fourteen 75-millimeter shells enough ''fatty
acid to manufacture Is pounds of soap;
enough fertilizer to grow eight bushels of
wheat and score of other valuable ma
terails essential in the manufacture of mu-
nitiOns.
1t is obvious why the Food Administration is
anxious to encourage and help in this great say
ing measure While the money loss is a serious
enc, the material loss is more serious The house
wife, 1t is pointed out, can be of great help in
pushing this movement. Her responsibility does
not end with keeping he garbage clean but it
IS her duty to see that the kitchen and table
refuse from her home is used in the most ad-
Yantageous way which conditions in her locality
will permit.
The campaign falls in perfectly with the thrift
and economy campaign which, in a financial
sense, is to come to a head on June 28 The Ma
tional War Savings Day predicates a period pre-
liminary to June % which is to see, on the part
Of the people, conscientious economy in every
way possible,-in food, in pleasures, in time, in
money; and from the savings which this thrift
and economy produce is to come the money for
the War Savings and Thrift Stamps. The cam
paign is larger than a War Savings drive; it
does exhibit itself publicly in the form of pledge
to buy the stamps but its primary purpose is
to teach the people to be thrifty and to econ
omiZe at every turn. In that sense it is war
measure, but its peace results will also be inn
pOrtant.

RED CROSS BACKS FAIRGROUNDS.

As war time measure, the Red Gro IS
throughout the country has been asked to as
sist or, where necessary, to take control of the
Fairgrounds for children. Here we are given to
understand, it is to be done by the Junior Red
Cross. The first step in the work is to be TAX
en- tonight when the Burke Street auxiliary of
the Junior Red Cross will undertake to raise
funds for the Fairgrounds this year by holding
festival.
Mere mention of the facts of the case will
doubtless be all that is needed to secure for the
entertainment the patronage which it deserves,
both as an instrument Of child welfare locally
and as Red Cross undertaking.

VAN POWER AND TERRITORY

The course Of thought Of the Allied patriot
today is beset with pitfalls. His first tendency
j. to Judge Of the progress of the war in terms
OF territory; and when he does that he newt
ably IS lead to pessimism. Germany has forced
herself forward in every drive she has at
tempted; and if the territory alone were to be
considered one could not deny for a moment
that the battle goes to the enemy.
But OF course territory is only one factor in
the situation. The soul of an army is not the
territory which he holds nor the number of
men in the forces-although both have their
effect The deciding element is that Of the
army morale-and morale is neither more nor
less than the state Of mind which makes one
believe he can Or cannot do certain thing

TIE GOV ERNMENT AND THE POOL

Curious reasoning this-or was 1t reasoning?
The Daylight Saving Bill, sponsored by the
Government, readjusted the hours of the nor
nal day so that everything was moved forward,
on the basis of sun time, enc hour That is,
PEOPLE go to work an hour earlier, and retire an
hour earlier The ostensible and expressed pur-
pose was to save daylight through the use, in
forms Of work, of the daylight hours and the
devotion Of the darkened hours to sleep and
rest Obviously, it was never intended that the
commercial world should retaliate by extending
the hours Of business; and il is only fair to say
that the only case which has come to our know
ledge showing where business has attempted to
get back is in the action of the local council III
extending the closing hour of the pool rooms
to midnight instead of eleven o'clock. That is
where the obscure reasoning comes in. If our
avowed purpose is to assist the government in
every way possible, and we feel certain no
other purpose would be avowed, we fail to see
where the action of the council contributes to
tne plan.
So long as pool rooms are open at night there
viii be certain devotees hanging on. Iheoreti-
cally, ali of those devotees work during the day
time; and it stands to reason that the more
time they devote TO midnight pleasures, the less
efficient they will be for their daytime respon-
slblities. We know that manufacturers today
are by no means satisfied with the efficiency
which their forces are showing; and we cannot
but believe that the robbery of the sleeping
hours is one Of the factors in the unfortunate
situation.
There was a statute which provided an
eleven o'clock closing hour. The fact that the
statute was not enforced has, Of course, no
hearing upon the decision to extend the closing
hour. The decision has to rest, naturally upon
its own merits; and in the face of the Govern
ment's requests, we fail to see the merits.
The council it will be recalled, was divided
on the question, which in itself is significant
This, we are ready to believe, is another case
where the minority vote represents the truly
popular opinion We are quite sure that the
meaning of the move will not find backing liz
the minds of the people who understand the
dire necessity of conserving at every turn--not
excepting the matter of time
The councils action in warning gamers that
they will be prosecuted if they do not get rid of
their gaming equipment will find popular re-
spouse. 1t has been an open secret that there
were gaming houses being run brazenly and al
most openly i'll the city; and there is evidence
pointing to the connivance of the police under
the administration just ended The council will
find the people enthusiastically behind it in all
such moves to rid the city Of such institutions
and drones, which are nothing short of men
ace to the economic welfare of the community
We could only wish that the decision as to the
closing hour worked to the same end.

Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1918-06-15

Hon. James A. Hughes should re.
caive the nomination fer United
States senator for many reasons, the
main enc of which is that he comes
from the. southern portion of the
state, that great section Of West Vir-
glnia which has never had a reDre
sentative in the upper branch of the
legislature and that section of the
state which never fails to roll mn
iarge majorities for the ReDubljcan
party. This state has never mad a
Republican senator outside the cities
OF Clarksburg, Wheeling and Flkips
and many of the influential leaders
or the party in the northern part O?
the state have signified their intention
OF supporting. Mr. Hughes because
they recognize the business of the
claim and feel that it is good partv
policy so to do. The Republicans of
Uhe southern portion of the state viii
take advantage of this opportunity.
me first they have ever had, to elect
man from their own section Of the
state to represent them in the INNER
branch of congress.
The mere fact that Mr.. Hughes
halls from the southern end of fine
state does not qualify him for a seat
in the United States senate, but with
all things equal, it should be a potent
influence in his behalf He goes be
fore the voters of this state and is
asking their suffrage on his record of
Ia years in congress and the exper
lence he gained While in the lower
mouse during that period. AS
member Of the River and Harbors
committee he was largely instrumen
tai in having the Ohio river improve
ment bill passed and had all plans
been carried out, there would be a
nine foot stage of water in the river
right now between Pittsburgh and
CAIRO. This would go a lone way
toward relieving the congested freight
conditions now prevailing on all
railroads. Mr.. Hughes was chairman
OF the Committee on Accounts and
this made him a part Of The official
family of the speaker Of the house.
Mr.. Hughes was member Of
other committees ana accomplished
many things of vital Importance 10

He was always a potent factor in

so busy that he did no. take the
time to look after the interests Of
his constituents while in Washington
and this without any regard for party
or political aHi'iation. OF his record
while in congress the Huntington
Advertiser { Democratic newspaper
has this to say: "NIr. Hughes long
