THE NEED OF THE HOUR

The need of the hour is the need of
5000 graduate nurses by October lst,
and the enrolment of students in
first aid classes to take their places.
Every married trained nurse, every
nurse not now in active service should
enroll for home service. This means
the release of the active war nurses
for service.
The nursing service must hold two
great lines-the care of our wounded
men "Ovcr There" is the first line and
the care of our soldiers in the training
camps is the second line.
Enroll. We must not let our boys
suffer. "An American nurse for our
American boys" should be the slogan
of our American women.
The call comes loud and imperative.
We must mobilize our entire nursing
resources il we are going to win. Let
us lay upon the altar of our country
all the experience, tenderness, and de-
votion of our American ~omanhood
and care for and nurse and comfort in
the hours of torture our American
boys.

PRESIDENT TAKES GREAT
STAND IN STRIKE MOVE

Grand Junction News:-
The stand taken by President Will
son in the strike of mechanists and
other war workers in the plant at
Bridgeport, Conn. will meet with the
approval OF every American citizen
who wants to see the war end and
end with victory to the cause of Amer
lea and the allies.
In effect, the president told the
striking worlmcn that unless they
gave up the strike and returned to
work Immediately they would be de-
prived of the right to employment on
any work of the government for the
period Of one year and that their de-
ferred classification on account of be-
ing engaged in necessary war work
would be revoked.
This has the right ring and the
News joins heartily in the plaudits
American people will give the presi-
dent for using the iron hand. The
president declares that there shall not
be any strikes duringthe period Of the
war, and that the government shall
not be hampered in the work it has
undertaken.
All praise to the president for adop-
ting such course, for it will meet
with hearty unanimous encore.

A TIMELY RULING

Journal
Mr. McAdoo the director general of
railways, has issued an order absolute
ly forbidding political activity of any
kind on the part of railway employees.
This amounts to the application of one
of the cardinal principles of the ma
tional service law to railroad en-
ployees. Mr.. McAdoo evidently wishes
to anticipate the possibility of any
suspicion of the use of government
control or ownership of any public
utility is the danger that the party in
power will attempt to make political
servants of civil servants and use its
control of the utility for political pur-
poses.
A bureaucratic caste has no place in
a democratically governed country.
In Prussia 1t is well known that the
government has habitually availed it
self of the service of the railway ad-
ministrative personnel to secure the
election of Legislators favorable to its
own designs. American railways, even
under private ownership and directors,
have in times past exercised a notori-
ously corrupting influence in local
state, and national politics. They
have spent great sums in the main
tenance of permanent lobbies in the
state legislatures and in congress, aud
in certain states their grip upon the
whole state government became Sc
tight that nothing short of wide
spread political revolt was able tc
shake it off.
1t is fairly clear that the director.
general, remembering these facts, ant
knowing that they are stiA fresh il
the minds of the people, aims to sep
arate the railroads entirely from poll
tics. This is as it should be. In n,
other way can the railways rendc
! the best and most efficient service t,
the public.

KEEP THE HIGHWAYS
OPEN THIS WINTER

Concrete Highway Magazine
Last winter was an object lesson on
the imperative need of nationwide
effort to keep the highways open
every day in the year. Shows Of al
most unprecedent severity blocked
travel and hampered the nations war
preparations. There were food and
fuel shortages which might have
been partly, if not entirely relieved,
had the highways been open to traffic
That such a condition should pre-
vail Is economic folly at any time.
With a nation at war, It becomes
something Of 4 national peril.
Since last winter, highway traffic
has undergone greater expansion. I'm
less our roads can be kept open so
that they are usable every day in the
year some lines Of CONNIE rec and in
dustry are likely TO suffer this winter
greater paralysis and financial loss
than that which they underwent last
winter. The war has made highway
transpo rtation more important fac
tor in our national welfare than ever
before. To keep the roads open every
day IN the year should be part of our
war program. 1t matters not how it
is done, but II should be done and ar
rangemcnts made now TO do II this
winter.
New York. Connecticut, Pcnnsyl-
vania, and Michigan, realizing the i'm
portance of keeping their highways
open last winter, passed special legis-
lation to take care Of this wartime
emergency. These states are now
foremost in planning for the coming
winter. II is said that Massachusetts
will arrange to keep her trunk line
open this winter. Necessary steps
should be taken now in every state to
that wherc funds or other needed pro-
insure that whore funds or other pro-
visions arr taken care Of. snow remov-
al are lacking, the deficiency be i'm

WORK, FIGHT, OR DO
SOMETHING is THE LAW NOW
- "a "a

Monte Vista Tribune
Rio Grande County Farm Bureau
met on Tuesday on the "work or fight
proposition and the following day met
with the city council and urged the
passage of yagrancy ordinance de-
signed to force the many idle men on
the city streets to go to work or move
on.
Large number of men and boys
who have come here for the potato
picking, refuse work for the wages
agreed upon by the farmers, and in
most cases, their demands are out of
all reason.
One case is cited of man who not
only demanded $500 day and board
but also insisted that he should be
paid for the four days that he was in
town looking for work.
Our farmers are willing to pay high
wages, but object to being held up by
an organization such as seems to now
be in control in this district
The State Council of Defense and
the county officers will do all they
can to relieve the situation by adopt
ing measures along the work or fight
line.

WHAT CLASS GOVERNMENT

worse than described and that this
supposedly civilized country of l6O,-

the depths Of new dark ages" since
the unbrdled reign of the Bolshevikis
began, can be gathered from this little
by a special correspondent.
Executions are so frequent in Mos
COW by order Of the revolutionary
tribunal that Maxim silencers used to
prevent sound, seem as if arranged for
battle. This in n city where hundreds
Of isolated rifle shots are heard every
night.
Cloyed With Slaughter

any more, although threatened with
death themselves, il they disobeyed.
So Chinese troops are now the execu-
TONERS.
"In every city Of Russia there are
the same scenes Of terror.
Conditions are even worse in the
provinces. Commissioners are sent
from Moscow TO organize the worst
elements and take vengeance and loot,
kill officers and perpetrate other out
RACES. The Moscow Government
knows and countenances all this, but
it also knows that if it does not per
nit these atrocities it will Immediate
