Yes, and the farmers wife went out into tie
fields after doing up her homework and plowed,
narrowed and planted and cultivated beside her
husband so the boy could go to war and so there'd
be more busy acres and more food for everybody
in America and Europe.
And her daughter pitched hay and rode on the
rake and the binder and the cultivator and the
wagon in the hot sun for the same reasons. And
the country and the world is fed and grateful.
Some day somebody is going to write the story
of how the farmers wives stood in the muddy fur

it's going to be the story of many Molly Pitchers

THE LEAGUE AMENDMENTS

And further Bishop Lemke declined to say.
Bill Lemke is an average lawyer; he is chairman
of the socialist state central committee and one
of the five dictators of the National Nonpartlsan
league When he makes such statement TOR pup

The constitutional amendment providing for the
initiation of constitutional amendments specltcal-
" says that majority of all the votes cast in the
election at which such amendments are proposed
must be registered for the amendments, or they
are lost Lemke is sufficient Of lawyer to IN
terpret plain English written in words of one and
two syllabes. The same may be said OF the league
majority of four on the supreme court. And yet
Mr. Lemke dares, before the state state canvasslng
board has formally declared its findings, to Aaunt
in the face of North Dakota the bald assertion that
in spite of the fact that these five amendments
very clearly did not receive majority of the votes
cast at the recent election, they "are LEGALLY
passed.
The amendments did, it is true, receive major
ity Of the Nonpartsan league votes cast at the re-
cent election, but they did not receive ALL The
average vote for the amendments was nine thou
sand less than the vote for Commissioner OF Agrl-
culture John Hagan; eight thousand less than the
vote for Governor Frazier; $4,000 to $4,000 less
than the vote for Secretary of State Hail. On an
average 5000 fewer leaguers voted for the amend
ments than signed the initiative petitions OF a
normal voting strength of 100000, the leagues
program received the endorsement of less than

Mr. Lemke owes his own followers an explana-

the thousands who have not espoused the league
policies no voice at all in the management of their
state.

WITH THE EDITORS
NO MORE BLIND FOLLOWING

"The common and unquestioned acceptance of
the Presidents leadership which was the chief
characteristic of our general participation in the
war, is a thing Of the past
These are bold and significant words. They
were used by Representative Sydney Anderson of
Minnesota to set forth one of two facts which, in
the opinion of Mr.. Anderson, are outstanding in
connection with President Wilson's address to Con-
gress and it's reception by that body and the coun-
try.
Congress and the people admirably supported
the administration in the war enterprise, largely
withholding their judgment from utterance on
many lesser but important things for the sake of
the one great thing-the winning of the war.
This they did, not for Woodrow Wilson, the man,
and not even for Woodrow Wilson, the President,
but for what they conceived to be, under all the
circumstances, for the best interests of the coun-
try they love.
Now the war is over, or at least hostities have
ceased, and the danger crisis is past. The people
feel themselves released from any obligation Of
loyalty to the Nation to follow the President blind
ly wherever he may choose to lead. They want
light now. They demand to know whereas they
were content before to rest largely on faith.
The American people were morally certain on
November Selection day-that the end of the
war was virtually at hand. They knew the time
had come when, with perfect safety and with un-
assailable loyalty to country, they could record
formally and openly their verdict upon the Presi-
dents leadership. What did they do? They re-
jected the Presidents plea for Democratic Con-
gress and substituted therefor Republican Con-
gress. Mr. Wilson had said, in effect, before cleo
ton day, that such result would be reputation
of his leadership. If he could so interpret it, he
cannot justly find fault il his countrymen follow

Fight Famine
The war of the kitchen army has passed into it's
second phase.
1t was a great thing to have saved enough
wheat. fat and sugar to feed the fighters. 1t will

Fight Famine! The words conjure up vision
of the stalking specters of hunger, want, and
death that follows all great wars, claiming the

Women and children have already paid ghast-
ly, terrible price of suffering and terror in the
war. The world must not allow them to pay with
their lives for sins and stupidties not their own.

can be restored to plowhandle and factory, until

KEEP YOUR CITY CLEAN

Keep your city clean for the boys who are COM
ing back from training camp and trench!
That's the urgent warning of the United States
public health service endorsed by the secretaries
Of war and the navy.
They point to the moral cleanliness of America
in war, to the whoesomeness Of war camps and to
the moral improvement forced on cities as ex-
amples for America in peace times.
DR.. Rupert Blue, surgeon general of the United
States public health service, believes that the
venereal disease problem will be one of the ma
TONS biggest peace problems.
Are you sure" DR.. Blue asks, "that the prof.
teers of vice are not planning to take advantage
of the days of festivities when the boys come
marching home to dishonor them before they get
settled again in the normal ways Of life? Are
you sure that rehabilitation will not mean de-
moralization?'
There should be no truce with the red-light
district, no armistice with venereal diseases.
Unconditional surrender is the governments
demand from this enemy at home"
Under the protection of the military authori-
ties four millions of soldiers and sailors received
greater protection against venereal diseases than
they received in civil life.
"The cities and towns through which they will
go and to which they will return on rehabilitation
must be made safe," pleads w. G.. McAdoo on be-
half of the public health service. "A program of
law enforcement, education, wholesome recreation
and medical measures must be everywhere adopt
ed,' he adds.
"Signing of the armistice in no way lessons re.
sponsbility of civil communities for the protection
of soldiers from prostitution and sale of liquor"
warns Secretary of War Baker.
Welcome the boys home to communities cleaned
and kept clean of vice!

Argentina Grants
Large Credit to
The United States
Peru May Also Make Ad-
vance to Rectify Ex-
change Situation

The Argentine government has
granted large credit to the United
States, it was learned yesterday, while
negotiations are under way with Peru
looking to the arrangement of SIM
liar transaction with that country. The
credits are being obtained for the pur-
pose Of correcting the abnormal ex-
change situation between the United
States and the two South American re-
publics.
Officials of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York who handled the negotia-
tions for the new Argentine credit
would not state the amount involved,
although recently it was reported that
the United States was seeking an ad-
vance of approximately S40,000,O0O from
Argentina. The new credit is similar
to one arranged carly in the year for
S40,000,000, which was exhausted in
March last. Under it's terms American
importers who have bought goods in
Argentina can pay for the same by max
ing deposit with the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York to the account of the
Argentine government, against which
paper pesos are issued in Argentina
and paid to the exporter of the goods
there.
The rate of exchange on transactions
OF this character is fixed at 1O364 Ar
gentlne gold dollars per one American
gold dollar, less per cent to cover the
cost OF gold shipments from New York
to Buenos Ayres, which the American
importer is saved by the operation. The
local Federal Reserve Bank announced
Yesterday that deposits for the account
OF the Argentine government are again
being received.
The negotiations now being carried
on with the Peruvian financial authori-
ties are said to involve a credit of ap-
proximately $200O0,O00 to be granted
to the United States by that govern
ment. The Peruvian Congress recently
approved the legislation necessary for
the credit, and under the plan as now
proposed gold certificates will be issued
IN Peru against deposits made in the
Federal 1r Reserve Bank of New York.
This will make unnecessary the ship
ment of gold from this country to Peru
TO settle the trade balance. 1t is pro-
vided, however, that three months after
the treaty of peace has been signed in
the present war gold will be trans
ferred to Lima, Peru, equivalent to the
balance at that time in favor of the
PERUVIAN state institution at the local
Federal Reserve Bank. 1t is under
stood that details of the agreement be-
tween the Peruvian authorities and the
reserve bank here are now being worked
out.

Pennsylvania Railroad Leases Della

3.-The State Board Of Public Utility
Commissioners to-day approved the
application of the Delaware River
Railroad & Bridge Company for ap-
proval of the lease of it's railroad.
bridge, property and franchises to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The
board, however, pointed out that it
will not feel bound to permit the
rental reserves in any future inquiry
unless such rental is deemed to be
just and reasonable.
The Delaware company, corpora
ton organized under the laws of New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, submitted
the lease, dated March IS, 1918, and
which extends for period of 999
years from April 1, 1916. The COM
pany owns line of railroad extending
from a junction with the railroad Of
a connecting railway company near
Frankford Avenue, Philadel phia, to
junction with the railroad of the West
Jersey & Seashore Company, near
Haddonfield, N. j., including a bridge
over the Delaware River, the main
line of the railroad and bridge with
certain branches aggregating 9.52 miles.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
owns all of the capital stock of the

pany as agent of the latter operating

Nar Co @

American industry is rapidly con-
centrating on the business of war
to the exclusion Of less essential
effort, and as result exports to
neutral countries are falling. AT
the same time, imports tend to in
crease in spite of restrictions. The
result is a sharp expansion in the
balance of trade against us. In the
eight months ended February 2S,
there was an import balance on our
trade with South America of neal
ly $150,000,000, but in the last
month of that period the adverse
balance was no less than $28,50O,-
600, or at the annual rate of $780,
100000. AS consequence the
dollar is at a discount in Argentina,
Peru and elsewhere, and it is neces-
sary for the government to arrange
for the extension of credits by
those countries. Unless measures
were taken to redress the exchange
or to prevent further decline in
the dollar market, the cost of the
goods imported from the neutrals
would soon become almost prohibi-
tive. The credits which have Just
been granted will not last very long,
however, and before they have been
exhausted other measures will have
to be taken if the dollar is to be
stabilized. 1t is not impossible that,
in spite of the embargo, the ship
ment Of gold will be resorted to
eventually.
