HELP THE CHILDREN.

Owing no doubt to the good work of
those bustling, keen young boys and
girls who have so generously given of
their time and their pennies to the
thrift campaign, the impression has
been created in the minds of many
that War Savings Stamps are for
children only.
Let us stop to consider the matter
for moment.
| The Congress authorized an issue Of
! 81, 900 900, 900 w. S. S. to be sold in
1918. The purpose of the Stamps was
twofold: Q) To get money for the
! Government for war needs; t2) to in
still the habit of thrift in the Ameri-
can people and by the practice of
thrift save labor and materials for the
government.
: Can We expect the children, splen-
did workers that they are, to account
/ for $4,000, 100000 of Stamps?
Do we consider that the children
alone of all our population need to be
/ inculcated with the thrift idea? Are
they the only spendthrifts?
/ Certainly not.
! War Savings Stamps are for every
one. No one, be he a millionaire or be
he the humblest laborer, can say truth
fully that he IS not Interested in w.
S. S. and the saving program that they
stand for. &c. 0.
There are, indeed, few men and
women in the land unable to save and
economize more than they do now. If
they want to be listed among the pa
triotic people of the land they must
save and economic more than they
do now. The winning of the war with
the least possible sacrifice demands
this. for there are not enough labor
and materials for the Government S
war needs and for the use of the
spendthritts.
Cut those useless expenditures. All
of us have them. Remember that our
boys in the Army and Navy do not eX-
pect luXuries and do not grumble even
if they do not get all the comforts
that they are supposed to get.

the action of the supreme court in de,

enactment, more effective. from con-
gress at this season; and they in

with oleomargarine. Far better, we
think, would be an effort to convert
the erring states which have no child
labor laws-though this might be more
difficult. These states are practically
all in the south, where enlightened
legislation is none too plentiful. and
where mill-owners wish to profit by
hard-worked and iIl-paid child labor.
From one of those states came reports

HOW THE DRINK TRAFFIC
"HELPS BUSINESS"

Judge Wilbur e. Bryant of Harting-
ton, Neb., voted against statewide
prohibition when the amendment was
before the people of that state. Now,
he says, nothing could induce him to
vote for its repeal. $50 far" he says,
1--WE see nothing but its good effects.
If bad effects appear later, our chill
dren may be trusted to settle the bust
ness. The claim that the traf-
fic in alcohol drinks is an economic
benefit is an empty and barren alb
surdity. 1t helps business in the same
way that a fire helps business. Sup
pose that all of Harrington, west Of
Broadway was burned down. What

into the banks! Think of the lumber
which would be sold at the yards

convincing and should not be mini

all ages and classes of people the
basic, fundamental argument present
ed by science as to the real nature of
alcohol, If rightly understood, settles
the liquor problem with flnality that
silences our opponents and awakens
the Indifferent as does no other pre-
sentation of the subject. When you
have once convinced an intelligent hui

or quantity Is a deadly protoplasmic
poison to all the living tissues; that it
stops the processes of evolution in the
human race; that it not only retards
but destroys those faculties which
make for intellectual and moral abil-
ity, you have closed his mouth absO-
lutely, and he does not attempt to
cavil or indulge in sophstrieS on per-

AMERICAN. GOOD ENOUGH.

Pella Chronicle: One line of bunk
being INDUCED in by those who for
mercenary reasons are opposing Gov
ernor Harding's ban on foreign Ian
guages in public is that news of this
proclamation win be used against the
United States as propaganda by our
eemies. These jealous guardians OF
our country's welfare, however, fail to
show us any complaint against the
proclamation on the part of any natur-
allied Americans from these countries
allied with us in the struggle for de-
mocracy. The opposition is coming
from our enemies, their relatives in
this country, or the people from neu-
trail countries which are holding
themselves out of the struggle. The
allied foreigners here recognize the
proclamation for what it is, an at
tempt to curb German propaganda
here, and they are willing to submit
to the incidental hardships it may
impose for the sake of the cause at
stake. 1t may be possible to find an
individual from among these allied
peoples here and there over the state
who is objecting to the order, but an
investigation will probably reveal the
fact that he is getting his living by
helping keep up foreign ideals and in
situations by means of the old Ian
guage here. Our real allies are just
as enthusiastic about anything that
will curb un-Americanism as Ameri-
cans themselves are.
