There is not one spark Of humanity
in the man who starves his dog. But
there are such men and we regret that
they exist. When we see dog with
it's ribs almost protruding through its
skin and in so weak condition that
it can scarcely stand we cannot refrain
from heaping curses upon its owner,
whoever he may be. It is far more
merciful to kill the dog than to starve
it to death. We say, damn the man
who starves or otherwise illtreats his
dog or other dumb animal.

Speaking of old-fashioned things,
newspaper writer wants to know what
has become Of the gallant youth who,
when he had stopped the horse, would
let down the top Of the buggy in order
to permit his sweetheart to alight
without difficulty?
Well, we do not know what has be-
come Of him, but we remember him.
Perhaps he is slumbering somewhere
in oblivion, whatever that is, with the
gaudy lap robe wound about him
that lap robe with the big red rose
crudely worked in the center. It was
thing of art, even as was the linen
buster, and the gallant youth prob
ably hangs on to it in his obscurity.
But speaking of buggy riding, the
automobile is no improvement over it
in the matter Of real enjoyment. Not
until the automobile is perfected so
it can be driven with one hand, or IN
til it will wander along the road with
out driving at all, will it come in the
class of bliss which the buggy Occu-
pied in the days gone by.
The girls are as sweet as they used
to be-and the roads much better. The
moonlight is just as mellow. Love
flows in the same uncharted channel.
Youth is as hopeful-and as boastful.
Mothers are as anxious, fathers as i'm

Drastic Coal Rationing Proposed.

The Fuel Administration authorizes
the following:
Householders may be put on coal
rations, as in England and France,
The coal allowed to each consumer will
not be the amount used last year, but
only so much as is scientifically found
sufficient to heat his house to 68 de-
grees, providing every conservation
rule has been obeyed. The allowance
for each will be sufficient for comfort,
but the thoughtless and wasteful con-
sumner who finds his allowance gone
before theNneed of the winter will have
only himself to thank if he has no fuel
with which to heat his house.
Under this system everyone will get
his fair amount of coal. The hoarder
will be eliminated. This system was
originally worked out and applied in
Philadelphia. It has proved an I'M
qualified success and, with modifca-
tions suggested by: the experiences in
that city, the adoption and enforce
ment has been referred to the Federal
Fuel Administration Of all states.
This plan involves a department of
coal allotments in connection with
each local fuel administrators office.
Plans for this organization and for
necessary equipment have been COM
pleted by the administration in Wash
ington in such detail that the local
bureaus can inaugurate the system
without delay.
The important features of the plan
are:
First, censorship Of every order
for coal received by any dealer, each
order being compared with a figure OBJ
tanned by very simple yet effective for
mulas showing the rating of the house
where the coal is to be used.
Second, actual inspection Of all
doubtful cases and a checking up
through inspectors Of statements made
by householders as to the coal on hand,
the space to be heated, and the heating
system employed.
Third, an effective refusal to furnish
any householder more coal than a
scientific analysis shows is necessary
if the requisite care is taken in the
heating Of the house. Under this sys-
tenn surplus coal will be refused.
All consumers who have ohtainod .
quantity Of coal in excess Of their al
lotments, or who by deceit or misrep-
resentation have violated any rules
and regulations Of the Fuel Admin
stration, will be prosecuted.
With shortage of coal confronting
the country, it is only through such de-
tailed regulations that a necessary
supply can be insured at all. TO delay
until the emergency is upon US would
be fatal.

Our Battle at Home,

~ z
Our Battle at Home.
The war is waged not only abroad
but at home. The perception Of the
hostility here at home to things Amer
lean, to American civilization, to
American political and social ideals, to
American institutions and the Ameri-
can language, becomes clearer and
clearer. We have to beat Germanism
here as well as Germany in Europe.
And in order to eradicate Germanism
amongst us it is required to vanquish
Germany on the field.
Better neverto have entered the war
than to leave it unfinished. To leave
Germany's military might intact would
be to perpetuate the schism opened
here in our own midst. That schism
can be healed only by defeat Of Ger
many in arms. Our American unity is
predicated upon Germany's catastro-
phe.
For years before the war our in
tegrity as political body was insidi-
ously attacked. That conspiracy will
be persistently pushed with better di-
rection and more sinister consequences
unless the incentive is eliminated by
Germany's complete defeat.
We cannot compromise with the
kaiser nor with Germanism no more
than could Lincoln with the confeder-
acy or Washington with George III.
The composition of the German em-
pire is such, the psychology of the
German people is such, the persistence
of the German propaganda all over the
world and especially among ourselves
is such, that it is rule or ruin for Ger
many. When she has been ruined, her
partisans here will have no longer a
reason for their un-Americanism, and
Germanism will wither and die
amongst us for lack of incentive.
But let us not deceive ourselves.
Germanism is here, is active, is under
mining, poisoning, urging peace, whis-
pering sedition, cherishing the cult.
There are many Americans Of German
descent who are one hundred per cent
American. Some of them are fighting
in France. Others Of them are fight
ing sedition here at home.
The disintegrators are those who
under pressure have sullenly consented
to become negatively American, who
assent outwardly to the war but Sc
cretly resist it, who would sacrifice
Americas interest, honor and sefety to
permit Germany to escape the punish
ment for her murderous assault upon
civilization and her, malefc intrigue
against human liberty.
These persons disdain to be positive
Americans. They hope to save Ger
many by their peace propaganda here
and then themselves to resume their
conspiracy in favor Of things German
here. against the America that gave
them freedom and opportunity.
!, To kill Germanism here it is neces-
sary to knock out Germany cold. To
heal our own breach it is required of
us to conquer completely. Germany is
not only brute but also liar. The
professions of Germanism cannot be
relied upon. Germanism here must be
deprived of motive. And if that proves
insufficient it will have to be deported.
The only secure America is one hun
dred per cent America in which no
traitor can survive.-Minneapolis
Journal.
