FOUNDATIONS OF A RUDE,

The anti-league press claim that
they r friends Of the farmer. But
is such the case? AS a friend of the
farmer and the common people why
didn't they tell how the farmers were
beaten out Of thousands of dollars
each year by the grain combine, why
didn't the publish the evidence brot
forth at the federal investigation in
st. Paul which showed that the pack
r were beating the stock raisers out
of over $7,000,0O0 per year; why did
MT they inform their readers concern
ing the six and sever million of dol
lars graft out of Hog Island by Amer
ica's Big Biz patriots in spite of the
fact that they are said to have had
no investment there? The anti
league papers arr strangely quiet on
the above mentioned subjects.

The Need for Nurses

Wayne county is asked for twenty young
women to do nurse work in the Red Cross society.
The appeal for recruits has not met with a
hearty response in this community. We are far
below the allotment. For some inexplicable
reason the young women are not taking to heart
the call of their country.
Can it be that they are Sinking the respons-
Utility and sacrifice of service? Can it be that
they dread the fatigue of actual work, preferring
to stay at home to entertain the soldier boys that
pass through the city or to engage in light duties
in their spare hours?
Must the boys when they come back learn
that the girls Of Wayne county lacked the quality
of patriotism that sent hundreds Of them into
the training camps? Will the girls be laggards
and sluggards in this crisis?
Certainly the girls of Wayne county are just
as patriotic as the boys. Now they have the op-
portunity to prove the sincerity of their protes-
tations Of love for the country and it's flag. The
test Of their loyalty is at hand. Will they re-
spopd?

A Nation S Reputation

Confidence is the cornerstone of business
Credit is extended on the basis of a mans char
acter and probity. If a mans word is as good as
his bond, he need not fear the future. If he has
established reputation for telling the truth and
keeping his promises, he has an asset on which
he can capitalize.
And so with nations. The United States has
kept it's national integrity immaculate. It has
fulfilled its promises and studiously lived up to
every pledge. For that reason it holds an envi-
able position in the world. Duplicity and chican-
cry have not polluted or married our national his
tory. We have backed our words with deeds.
The Saturday Evening Post discusses the
principle from this angle:
Hardly anything could be more useful to the
world right now than just this: To get one ma
tion to take the word of another. When we can
believe the words Of the official spokesman of the
Central Powers we may be ready to talk peace
with them. If the Russian people believed that
military Intervention by the United States was
no more inimical to Russia than we say, they
could hardly resent it.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-08-16

In this general discount of national integrity
we may take one great satisfaction--namely, our
actions have given no ground for it. We took
military possession of Cuba, and handed it back
to it's own people. The Philippines fell to US as a
prize of war, and no one who looks candidy at the
record doubts that we have regarded them as a
trust for the benefit of their inhabitants. In the
face of great provocation, and perhaps even by
an excess of altruism, we refused to go into
Mexico. We had the same opportunity to grab
Chinese territory and revenue that Germany had.
but we refrained. We have proved good faith
where we have had the opportunity.
That is satisfaction. We can only believe
that persistence in the path of integrity will
bring it's due reward, and in time to come, when
the United States says it seeks no conquest or un-
fair advantage over other peoples, its word will
be taken at face value everywhere

The New Man Power Bill

America hopes that Congress will not waste
unnecessary time debating the man power bill
or haggle long over it's provisions. The basic
principle of the whole issue is the supplying of
enough soldiers to end the war. It is definitely
known that these reserves cannot come from
England or France, because their man power is
exhausted. The only reservoir from which they
can be drawn is the United States. So why delay
in establishing the machinery that will make
available the men?
The American people want the war won as
quickly as possible. They have pledged them
selves to that program. If men and more men
will turn the trick, then it behooves Congress to
enact the legislation.
1t is stuff and nonsense for sentimental legis-
ators to debate whether boy eighteen years old
is too young to enter the military service. Re
cords of the Civil war show that men below
twenty years were the backbone of the Union
army, and more recently the marines, mostly
made up of boys who have not attained their ma
jority, proved conclusvely that their youth did
not prevent them from earning the title of
devils dogs" from the Germans.
Enact the 18 to As man power bill.
