FOR SUCH AS RELIEVE.

From the New York Times.
The voice Of Frank Vandcrllp Is
clear strong and optimistic 1t artic-
uIates doctri-e Of prosperity, part
nership and progress.
We can be prosperous If we viii be.
On rpower over material things is
unlimited; therefore. we can do with
opportunity as we viii. provided only
we believe in ourselves and act upon
that faith.
Unemployment is a silly bugbear in
a country whose chronic problem IS
how-to find enough labor to perform
its own work. and to meet It's own
wants, and whose raw materials and
manufactures, besides are in request
by the whole world.
Some people talk about the neces-
sity of hQuidating wages and others
about the necessity Of not hquidattng
wages, and they all mean the same
thing without knowing it. When a
producer says wages must come down
he refers to fantastic wages, which
have demoraized labor as much as
Industry and cannot nationally be de-
Tended. When Mr.. Gompers says
wages shall not be reduced, he means
basic or standard wages, which mo-
body proposes to r. ace, least OF all,
we think the intelligent producer.
Taht is Mr.. Vanderlip's opinion.
He takes the case Of shipping. The
labor cost of working a ship under
our laws is four times that Of our
lowest competitor, which is japan,
and twice as much as that OF our
largest competitor. which is Great
Britain.
Therefore, shall be sulk or abandon
the carrying trade to QUIZ 1iSals Not
Mr.. vander,ip thinks by taking
thought of our special advantages
and calling into play our traditional
ingenuity we shall be able to compete
successfully in shipping-as IN every
thing eIese to which we have really
! turned our minds-with the highest
paid labor in the world The htghest
paid is not necessarily the dearest
Such is Mr.. Vanderlip's doctrine
big and fine and thrilling. Moreover
it will pay. It is the kind Of seeing
that has made us the richest and most
resourceful nation on earth-and 1t
has always paid.
SSN GNo small part Of the trouble
! between capital and labor, in my
i opinion, lies in the ignorance OF
! enpIoers. Now, that is not alto
! gether to be marveled at Men en-
| gagged in active business enterprises
! have their minds Tremendously alb
sorbed with the days flow. Their
DAVIS work is mental days work,
which excludes them from the lei
sure ordinarily necessary to think
! on problems that do not appear TO
be Immediately necessary for them
to attempt to solve. The labortng
man has more time to think Of such
problems, and he is thinking
sounder and deeper, as rule on
! many Of them than is the business
community. So believe that we

GERMAN afro CITIES

From the early days Of the war, the
German troops have perpetrated acts OF
brutal savagery. One charitable explain.
alton, that they are committed after ex-,
Cessas with drink, does not justify the
men who permit these excesses. No doubt
there are plenty of Germans who are not
cruel and brutal, but these acts are con-
cealed from them As a whole the Ger
mans have waged war in the most inhu-
name manner. i3 N gel ~ fsle
The theory of the German rulers has
been that other nations must be made
afraid of them. "Frightfulness" has
been their motto. Commit such terrible
acts. against your foes, that never again
will any one dare to raise his head
against the German power, he's been their
avowed policy.
The long roll of German atrocities is
too we'll verified to permit dispute. Chill
dren with hands cut off, soldiers cruel
fled, unoffending civilians lined /, up
against a wall and shot to terrorize a
city, these are facts beyond dispute.
The treatment of the women deported
from France and Germany will stain the
German name for centuries. The soldiers
have been given full freedom to work
their lust. 1t has been common policy,
when city was captured, to reward the
soldiers by permitting license with the
women. Forcing prisoners to dig trench
% under fire, has been an act Of cruelty
contrary to all laws Of war.

EFFICIENT CANvAssING

81 While the war lasts great deal of
work canvassing our cities and towns
must be done. Every one Of our commun-
flies down to the littlest village will have
to be covered for Liberty bonds, Red
Cross, Y. M. C. A., apd several other
funds. It is work that should be done
systematically apd scientifically, with
the least waste Of effort. In many plac-
es it has not been done efficiently, and
the results have consequently been dis
appointing.
Kansas City, Kan, has workd out a
scheme for running these canvasses that
would work well here in Logan. A per-
manent canvassing organization was
% The city was divided into divisions, in
command Of majors. The divisions were
d dilafd i int9 sections q in charge of cap
~ bSa s,,aesw ,oso,a rgis has ssassrE ristae1
The sections were divided into groups,

the groups were divided into blocks, in
charge q sergeapts.ia Then there was
c&nv8sser Tor each block. Each officer
Was responsible for thelcovering Of what.
ever part Ofthe' city came IN his charge.
a8' AS aresult . great number 0't Of men
were organized to perform this service.
No canvasser had to work more than a
few hours. The work could be cleaned
rp in a day or two. The organization,
once formed, is ready for the next drive.
The canvassers become skillful at it, and
know how to approach people and get the
most useful results.
AS it now is in most places, compara-
lively small number Of men have to do
this work, and it becomes burden to
them. They may not have time to do it
thoroughly. But when divided up as
tried out in Kansas City, the thing be-
comes burden on no one, and the maxi
mum of results is secured. 1t is scheme
that would work anywhere, Of course re-
quiring efficient men at the head.

FREQUENT CAUSES OF AUTOM0-

" Another sS common y cause Of accident is
the haste Of the speedy driver TO get
ahead Of a machine going at g slower
pace. 1t is terrible aggravation to
25 mile an hour man to have to poke along
behind the leisurely car running Is. AT
the first chance he slips ahead, regard
less whether the road is wide enough or
not.
III at the moment he tries to pass, q ma
chine is coming from the opposite direc-f
tion. conditions favorable to an accident
are created. The three machines ap-
proach each other much faster than any
one thinks. It takes good wide road to
hold them if they reach one point three
abreast. It frequently occurs that the
speeding machine, if it is a heavy car,
win sideswipe the slower machine it was
trying to pass. If that happens, the peace
!: able little fellow going his own way inof-
fensively, is crowded into the ditch and
an accident results.
These are two Of the many conditions
that lead to many wholly needless acct
dents. They can all be averted when au-
tomObile drivers realize the responsibility
they undertake when they propel these
very powerful machines through the
streets, in which every citizen down to
the little child has IN equal right.

these acts will be fully punished. If our
world is founded on righteousness, if we
want goodness and mercy rewarded, and
cruelty punished, the Germans must get
what is coming to them. A nation can
not be allowed to act like wild beasts. 1t
must be taught that the world can not
be ruled by brute force. The only way to
teach that lesson is by smashing mill
tary defeat.

PURE WATER FOR SOLDIERS

Uncle Sans soldiers are the best pro-
vided for Of any army in the world. The
million men in khaki are now provided
with pure drinking water from mobile
water trains. The trains are under the
jurisdiction of the Army Medical depart
ment. They are miniature water works,
which chemically treat, fnter and steril-
ize water, making it fit for consumption.
What municipal water works do to insure
healthful water to the people Of a city,
these trains do for the soldiers. ,ra }g.
~ A number Of publication units with
attached motor-tank trucks constitute
train. Each unit is complete filtration
plant including laboratory Arriving at
a stream it sets hose into the water and
pumps the water through "a pressure
tank. Before the water passes through
"a sand filter it is treated chemically to rid
it of disease germs. The pure water IS
pumped into tanks mounted ron trucks,
which carry the water to the soldiers.
Each mobile water unit carries an, ex-T
pert chemist, bacteriologist and pump
man. There is a complete laboratory in
the front of the machine for the testing
of the water. Tests are made every two
hours or more often when it is thought
necessary. The water is lifted into the
filter by gasoline pump engine, and a
complete supply of extra pipes and tools
are carried so that all repairs, either
from accident or shell fire, can be made
on the spot. The trucks are equipped
with electric lights so that the work can
be carried on at night. Many Of the chem
lists and psychologists assigned to IT, :
mobile laboratories were formerly con.
nected with municipal water works and
filtration plants Goodwin's Weekly.
