A SHIPBUILDER FOR SHIPS
tFrom he New Trbune)

We do not know that Charles NJ.
Schwab will be able TO perform miracles
in The building Of ships. He has a rec
ord for such performances.
The United States Steel Corporation
was largely his projection. When 1t
was formed it was incomparably the
largest business enterprise ever put un-
der a single head. And after seventeen
years IL still so remains.
The Bethlehem steel Company, now
the greatest war and munitions pro-
ducing plant in the world, unless
Krupps has been tremendously en-
larged during the war, was almost
wholly his personal creation. When IL
took hold OF II ten years ago it was a
minor enterprise.
But, miracle or no miracle. the fact
remains that he is by training and ex-
perience probably the ,ablest man who
could be found in the United States to
head the shipbuildlng work. This is the
vital thing.
1t Is a question Of principles, and not
OF man. There was need at the head
Of the shipbuilding work for a man or
the largest experience in shipbuildng,
and especially, at the present time,
steel making. And a man Of Vitalizln9
energy, with a record for success.
Charles NJ. Schwab represents all u
these qualities in q gre-emnent degree.
We believe that no appointment which
President Wilson has made since VIC
entered the war has given the country
such deep satisfaction and such a new
feeling Of confidence as this.
It seems confirmation Of the best
hopes held out by the Presidents
friends.
Coming upon the heels Of the ap-
pOintment Of Mr.. Edward r Stettin!us
as Assistant Secretary OF War, in full
charge OF purchases; OF General Goeth-
ais as Actlng-and very actve-Quar-
termaster General, and the surprisingly
effective work OF Mr. CrOwell as Acting
Secretary Of War. we believe that the
country may now feel that the Presi-
dent has turned in earnest to the task
of securing the most effective bu -inoss
administration for the material side OF
the war
Perhaps 10 would be invldious, after
this splendid advance toward a goal
which the whole nation desires, TO urge
further steps at this time. With the
Presidents evident determination, they
will perhaps come in due course.
We can only venture TO hope now
that the prefennent Of Stettinius and
Goethals and Schwab and Crowell
means that in due course other posi-
tions Of vital importance will likewise
/ be filled by the ablest and best fitted
men who can be 10 nd.
We believe It would need but a few
mnre strokes such ms the gpDOintmpn'

Are they raising it for the soldiers
or for the dollar? AS to the soldiers,
and every other man who uses to-
bacco, they would be better off if
they could never get another crumb
of it.
DR.. Hills said, "a man is trai-
tor who makes it hard to get bread
for the soldiers" A man is a trai
tor who raises tobacco in the face of
this food famine. We have no right
to raise it at any time, because the
land belongs to God and he wants it
used to his glory, and we have no
right to raise something on it w
which to curse humanity, and truly
tobacco is curse to the human race
and the little cigarette is playing its
part in the destruction of our youths
and is great obstacle in the way Of
winning this war. Yet we see sont
folks going around with a Bible un
der their arm on Sunday trying to
save the world and working in the
weed patch all the week to help curse
the nation. Consistency, stANusart
a jewel" Our government 81
stopped the manufacture of brea
stuff into strong drink. Can it not
stop the raising Of the weed on the
land that should be producing grain
and cattle?
This war will never be won if our
dollar is to be enthroned as our
God and we bow down and worship
it instead of the living God. We
are going to be brought to our knees
and have our eyes opened ere this
crisis is over. 1t may take hunger
to do it, but God knows how to han
die US just as he handled Israel of
old when they went into sin and
idOlatry, and we are going to come
out of this refining fire purer, bet
ter nation. The sooner we get will
ling to obey and do right, the better
it will be for US. AS sure as God
loves America, just so sure we will
be chastened until we get right.

1T is ASKING BUT LITTLE

This week the great Thrift Stamp
sale campaign opens in real earnest
and it is proposed to push the cam
paign to a successful conclusion.
1t ought to be so successful that
at its close every home-every busl-
ness and professional man, every
laborer and every farmer will be an
investor. 1t has been charged that
our farmers, as class, have not been
as loyal in these matters as they
should, and the reason is that these
campaigns have not been extended
to our farmers. The proper public
itv has not been given these calls
And again, the campaigns have been
so short-Hved that they did not reach
the farming element The Enter
prise does not believe that the farm
er. who is reaping more profit from
this war. is lacking in patriotism and
loyalty to his country in her present
crisis.
But what we started to say was
that our government is asking but
little of US in offering to borrow
our money at a good rate of inter
est. Dollars cannot compare with
the sacrifices our noble sons are
making in giving their services to
their country. Dollars cannot pos
siblv compare with the sacrifices
those old gray-headed fathers and
mothers are making when they give
up their sons for the defense of their
country's rights.
The giving Of our dollars to the
Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A. and
the purchase Of Thrift Stamps-ail
for the benefit Of our soldiers-ls
no sacrifice at all; and sure, It's
small thing we are asked to do to
buv Thrift Stamps.
There is hardly a family in the
entire county not able to purchase
sooo Thrift Stamps. In the for
rner campaigns fer war funds Weak

VICTORY OK MONEY--WHICH?
By Mrs. Lottie V. Smith, Campbe1sville, Ky.

Many times since this war has
been going on we have heard the
flattering story that Germany is
almost whipped and her resources
almost exhausted" Dr. Dwight Hill
lis, in last weeks Banner, shows an
appalling picture of things as they
really exist.
That there are hungry people in
America, is a fact. The farmer who
delivers his produce, even in town
like Campbellsville, can hear the pit
iful wall that wages are no higher
than they were before the war and
foGa stuff is worth twice as much,
and meat and butter are soaring so
high that they can hardly reach
them. What are they going to do?
Some are already suffering and
more are going to suffer, and why?
You don't have to drive very far into
the country to answer this question.
The fertile soil was all planted in
tobacco last year and the poor land
planted in wheat and corn.
There is much more excitement
and interest at the loose leaf to-
bacco houses than there is at the
grain mills. People are tobacco
crazy. They have quit talking and
thinking much about the war and
are talking tobacco. On some farms
where there are three strong men,
they only have two head of cattle.
Not producing any beef or butter
for the nation. More money in to-
bacco at rs cents per pound. But
how much is that tobacco going to
do in getting victory for our nation?
Surely we who remain at home by
our fireside and look on while our
best young men go to defend US at
the front do not want them to go
with an empty stomach. We cannot
expect them to do their best only
half fed. We who are so fortunate
as to live on farm in this day of
high prices should not want to see
people in the city suffer- tXlsegtt they
must suffer if~the farmer does not
produce more grain and meat. If
the land owner would be patriotic,
he must raise as many hogs and cat
tie and as much grain as his land
will grow. 1t is money for him and
more for the other man to eat,
True he might get more money out
of tobacco, but what about the man
at the other end of the line? He
gets worse than nothing. Our ma
ton produces thirty million pounds
of snuff annually, and our nation
uses sixty million cigarettes day,
to say nothing of the cigars and plug
tobacco that is consumed Isn't it a
shame for a christian nation? No
wonder we are facing a food famine.
We ought to get hungry. If mil
lion more farmers of America have
to go to France, will those at home
continue to raise the weed?
DR.. Hills suggests that we have a
million men from China shipped here
to fill the place on the farms of
those who must go to France. But
if they were brought over here the
farmers would put them to raising
tobacco and there would be that
many more to be fed by the consci-
entious farmer who devotes his eff
forts to food production.
What we need is not more farm
hands, but better farmers. Men
will till the land right, men who love
their country better than they love
the dollar.
Some folks say they are raising
tobacco with which to supply the sol
diers. ] wonder how many wo
raise it for the soldiers if they got
only three cents a pound for IT..
