THE ECONOMY
OF VICTORY

No matter what this war costs the
Government and tho people of the United
in the way of money, it is going to be
much cheaper to win this war than to
lose it.
The commercial and financial losses
that would follow a German victory are
not to be calculated. All that we spent
would be lost, indemnities beyond calcu-
lation would have to be paid, and along
with these losses would come a continu-
ing loss in foreign commerce that would
spell disaster
With these material losses we would
lose our national liberty and independ-
ence, our power to secure our interna-
tonal rights, our right to live in a world
ruled by the dictates of humanity and
civilization.

GOOD
INVESTMENT

We paid out some Red Cross money a
while back. We paid it out and forgot
ii. That's how much it hurt. Perhaps
it would be good idea to have look at
what that money has been doing
That money went, dollar for dollar,
where it did full days work, no matter
for what it was appropriated.
Three cents of it may have had the
honor of disinfecting with iodine the
three torn wounds Of an American SOL
dier on the French front. Or it may
have had the less noble responsibility Of
pinning a warm flannel belly-band
around six-year- old Antoine out back of
Noyon.
There's the whole path of ruin from
Belgium te Switzerland, just to visualize
one thing at time. If your Red Cross
money went there, it very likely provid-
ed pots and pans, food and clothes, beds
and blankets for the repatriated people.
Three years ago these people were pros
porous and contentsd, self-respecting,
steady, saving, hard-working, everyday
email four, c;tizeus
Now they have the earth under them
and the sky over them, !" not one thing
else, and it is for you to say whether the
American Red Cross shall stop its mercy
work among these unfortunates.
The Red Cross is yours, just as our
army and navy are yours; yours to sup
port with the same fervor and loyalty
that led you to the bottom of your purse
for Liberty Bond subscriptions. It's for
your voice to say whether your Red
Cross, now asking for one hundred mill
ion dollars, shall falter or sweep onward,
greater aud more helpful than ever
before
Your dollars must answer.

WOMAN QUESTION
WILL NOT DOWN

Italy has enfranchised her women, or
is adopting the measures necessary to
extend to them the rights of citizenship.
In Spain and Germany the women are
still regarded as incompetents who are
not to be trusted with enfranchisement.
Those two countries cling to the medie-
val notion that a woman is an inferior
being who must be tolerated owing to
the fact that it is impossible to keep the
world populated without her help. A
ridiculous idea, isn't it? But don't be
too sure of that. Some of the members
of that exalted body, the United States
senate, appear to think that Spain and
Germany are keeping women where she
belongs. Dayton News.

FROM LAKES F..

lNeVctand ram Dealcf.J
Representative Wslty OF the Fourth
Ohio district has introduced bill in
congress for the rehabilitation OF the
old Miami and Erie canal between the
Maumee and the Ohio rivers. The meas
ure is now in the hands of the committee
on railways and canals,
In brief, the Welty bill provides that
the secretary of war shall appoints board
of engineers to make a preliminary
examination, location, survey and de
tailed plans for canal and an estimate
Of the cost thereof connecting the waters
of Lake Erie aud the Ohio river" over
the route of the old waterway from To-
ledo to Cincinnati. In addition, the
measure proposes the investigation Of
the feasibility of a branch connecting
Lake Michigan with the Ohio canal at or
near Defiance. In other words, the
Welty plans call for the rehabilitation of
the old Miami and Erie canal with a new
branch added to cut across the corner of
Indiana to the body of water which Chi
cago thinks it owns.
The Ohio congressman wants water
way from twelve to sixteen feet in depth
and of sufficient width to permit the
passage of vessels as are contemplated to
be used on the Erie canal" Built upon
these lines this canal would become a
link in the waterway between New York
and the Gulf of Mexico, which, by the
way, the original Miami and Erie canal
was designed to be.
War and the overburdening of the
railroads emphasize the need for more
adequate waterway transportation. Wher-
ever it is possible by aressonabls expen-
diture of money to connect natural
waterway courses with artificial links,
good business recommends the project.
New York state spent many millions in
rebuilding the old Erie canal, and now
the federal government has taken it in
hand for the period of the war.
Historically, it is interesting to note
that the Ohio canals were originally con-
ceived under the impulse given to water
way transportation by the first Erie
canal then nearing completion, whose
marvels were known around the world.
And now, nearly century later, it is
proposed in congress to rehabilitats one
of the Ohio waterways in order to take
advantage of the rehabiitated ancient
Erie canal. When the Welland canal
is finally enlarged still greater import
ance will be given to such potential
agencies of transportation as the long |
neglected canals OF Ohio.

Didn't wiring her hands and weep.

And night-long vigilS keep.
She missed him, for she loved him,
And her love was strong and true,
But she saw in one swift moment
There was work for her to do.
So she took the tasks before her,
And she did them every one

And another task begun.

They further admit that "the actual
food loss is only sufficient for the
energy requirement of 100000 men,"
In other words, the brewers, in
their official Year Book, admit they
are wasting enough foodstulis each
year to supply the energy require
ments of the entire American army
now in France and in the canton
ments of this country.
The government is sending out bull
letins every day, urging the people to
conserve the food supply. Housewives
are appealed to at every turn to SaveI
Save! Save! On every hand the peo-
pie are face to face with the necessity
not to waste the smallest bit Of theil
food supply because. it is needed TO,
our army and the armies of our al,
lies, as well as for hungry world.
And yet the brewers admit they are
using enough grain each year to sup
ply our armies at home and abroad.
Not only is this supply wasted, but
it is worse than wasted, for made into
beer it reduces the efficiency of those
who drink, renders young men unfit
for military service, and adds to the
distress and unhappiness of the peo-
pie, while because of the crime and
misery it produces it increases the
burden Of the taxpayer
1t is believed that when Ohio fully
realizes how the brewers are wasting
food, the voters will decide to put
them out Of business next November
1t is considered patriotic to be against
the liquor traffic.
