DON'T CRITICISE YOUR GOVERNMENT.

One of the foremost hardware companies of this coun
try has issued little booklet that is one of the finest
pieces of patriotism This booklet is directed to its travel
ing men, and contains sound advice as to their at
lde toward the government in its conduct of the war
1t advises the men, whatever their politics may be- to re-
frain from any criticism of the administration assuring
them that our leaders doing all that mortal men can
do to bring this country through the crisis that faces u.s.
1t also reminds them that all the really big men of the ma
ton have forgotten for the time being, that they are
either Republicans Democrats and are standing shou
der to shoulder with the President and his fellow aborer
This is loyalty of the purest brand And it is an ex-
ample that more could follow with profit Every idle crit
sm of those in authority just much influence against
the cause to which we rrevocaby pledged 1t is Just
much adverse force that leaders must overcome to
win And worst of ALL it tends to encourage the enemy
The most idle and thoughtess criticism by Americans of
their government is waited straight Berlin and by the
time reaches there it expanded to represent the COM
mon sentiment of Americans.
President Wilson is not asking for loyalty on the
ground of his democracy He doesn't ask the ground
OF his learning or superior attanments. He asks our al
legance because the American people have placed him in
position where ne is largely responsible for the welfare
OF the nation, and were ngrattude part after
placing him there to craveny desert him and leave him to
bear the burden alone and worse STILL hampered at every
step by our senseless complaints
American soldiers are on the firing line in France.
Ihey are gong across by the thousands and hundreds of
thousands No army can give its best service that has
not the solid moral support of it's home people It is
reachey of the worst kind to send our bows to fight OUR

acer leaders, Let have faith in their ability and
integrity, and instead of annoying and naggng support

committee of that body investigate the advsabty of ad

Senator thoroughly alive to the economic danger that
threatens this country unless there is large increase of
farm labor for the coming season. In an interview the
Senator is quoted saying 81 think we will beina very
serious fix unless get farm labor Crops everywhere
are unharvested because the labor is leaving the farms
Complaint comes to me- of it bitter that while the
government asks the farmer for increased production the
crops cannot be gathered The resolution does not pro-
pose to admit Chinese citizens with view to their
permanent residence here but on somewhat the same
terms American soldiers sent to France under the
control of their government to be returned when thel
labor is no longer needed The plan at least deserves
careful thought The labor shortage is acute and does
not promise to be any less in the future. And if the

RedCross Notes

All appropriations from the Amer
lean Red Cross War Fund up to Jan.
amounted to $77,S43, 1855, according
to a statement just received at Lake
Division headquarters, Cleveland from
the Washington office.
These appropriations show total Of
$44,657, 1859 for foreign relief, S2,612,-
$3.50 for relief work in the United
States, and atotal of $24,,323, 181.12 for
supplies, either for foreign shipment or
for distribution or resale to chapters in
this country. This latter item includes
$7,O63, 64912, which is also included in
the $30.519,259.60 for work in France
as well as $11,2SS,417 for material for
resale to chapters. 1t may thus be
considered as a working fund and as
liquid asset rather than an expendi-
ture.
The total appropriations for admin
istration at national and division head
quarters amounted to $1,2S9,292 for the
last six months period. This includes
S365,O0O for divisional administration
expenses and s250,000 donated for tele-

very little, but is sufficient to make

priations did not come out Of the War
Fund, but are more than covered from
the portion of membership dues receiv-

membership dues, which more than
paid for all administration expenses,
were received before the recent Christ

In other words, no expenses OF ad-

met by membership dues. Thus every

The Red Cross War Council has ap-

cabled recommendations embodylng
the results of observation and inquiry
by Major Grayscn M. P. Murphy, Red
Cross Commissioner in Europe, and
also by the permanent operating Com
mission which has now arrived in
Italy, headed by Robert P. Perkins, OF
New York.
Red Cross activities in Italy were
undertaken upon a large scale after
receipt on November of cablegram
from Ambassador Page to the effect
that help was needed instantly. Major
Murphy was asked to go to Italy. He
