The Honor System.

There are hotels and restaurants which
are run upon the honor system. No bill
is given. You pay the amount you say
YOU owe and no questions are asked. You
can buy your morning paper from an nm
guarded pile by throwing down the coins
and going on There are Offices, fortu-
nately many of them, where one is not
required to punch time card as he en-
tiers and leaves. All these are ventures
in democracy. They breathe of equality
and peraonal responsibility. They as.
sumo that an American can be trusted
Just so ia the latest program from the
United States food administration, Ger
tain necessary big regulations have been
established srgh as the restaurant and
hotel rulings in regard TO bread and but.
ter. double cream. luore than one kind OF
meat, etc. These me necessary in order
to protect the patriot from the Stacker
Just as certain laws arc needed even In
democratic state.
In the homes, however,, there are no
hard and fast rules You are not asked
TO present meat coupons, nor are you
guarded as you buy your weeks supply
of fats, nor above all does an otilcer come
to drive away your cow and Gl7ackens as
they do in Germany,
No one tells you how you shah Use the
food you buy. All of these things are
left to you the big individual " u, to
whom the United States food adn,inis-
tration speaks in confidence about the
great need overseas, and the great task
which we have to accomplish.
So far the people of the United States
have proved their ability to handle such
questions for themselves. There is no
reason to believe that they will fail now
to provide the 20,OOO,OOO tons of food
which we must send over there year.
No, the tide of battle to prove the
worth of democracy at home will never
waver in favor of the autocratic Prussian
methods against which our boys have
fought and won. Dorothy Dexter.

BRITAIN RECEIVES
MARSHAL HAIG
London Gave Informal Welcome, But

Dover Made a Great Celebration
Out of the Home Coming.
London, Dec. l0.-London hung out its
flags and the seaport of Dover flung its
gates wide open to-day to greet Field
Marshal Haig and the commanders of the
five British armies, which fought in Bel
GUM and France Generals Plumer,
Rawlinson, Birdwood, Byng and Horne.
It was merely an informal welcome
by London, but Dover made of it great
celebration. The news that the field
marshal was coming home to spend
Christmas with his family at Kingston
became public and his fellow country
men would not be denied a chance to
see and cheer the leader of their armies
The real celebration in London comes
late in January or early in February.
The field marshal will then, according to
time-honored presidents, be raised to a
high rank in the peerage and given a
money grant by Parliament for his serv-
ices to the nation, This is the proce-
dure which has been followed from the
days of Wellington and Nelson down to
Kitchener and Roberts.
The welcome given the homecoming
generals to-day was similar to that given
