INDUSTRY FOR SERVICE

The war went far in creating an industry for service rather than
for profit. 1t went so far that we will not 60 back, though profteers
rage and tug at political wires.
Things were once made only when profit promised. The war
came. Every unity of industrial energy a needed for the national
defense. w called upon all our resources in the name of service.
Soldiers did not charge "what the traffic would bear The Red
Cross did not buy its bandages in the cheapest and sell them in the
dearest market. The navy did not wait upon dividends before hunt
ing submarines.
Profit became incidental. AT spots, it became an obstruction, a
source of friction TO be removed. Its removal was one of the expensive
lcsses of the war. Price restrictions, taxation, direct prosecution were
some of the weapons used upon the profteer, and there was M closed
season for hunters, To be sure, the dark jungles of society concealed
sufficient such beasts to make them a threat to successful fighting.
But no man will boast in his autobiography of millions made in
this war. The tales he will tell to his grandchildren will be of serv-
ice given, not gains gathered. He will record for the glory of his
descendants the amount invested in Liberty Loans and Red Cross
funds. not the profits made in wa contracts.
War made industry serve society. If a factory operated, it was
because ITS product was needed. When guns were more needed than
automobiles and ships were more essential than sky-scrapcrs, profits
were not allowed to force the production of less needed goods.
One thing industry had to serve-the defense of the nation.
We will carry some of this spirit into peace times. We shall salv-
age a share of the spirit of service. We need it to fight poverty, innor-
ance and disease.
We will think more and more about producing to serve our needs,
= ther than to increase profits.

LEAVE THAT TO THE PEOPLE

John Temple Graves, writing from Washington, declares that if
President Wilson should persuade the great nations Of the Entente to
join hands with him in establishing righteousness and justice Is the
foundation of an enduring peace, his task is only partially completed.
sFor he would come home to his ain countrie, - Nh. Graves says, "o
lake up the great battle all over again to induce his legal and consti-
tutlonal advisers of the senate to vote into American concurrence and
existence the terms OF the treaty, including the League of Nations and
the freedom of the seas, into which he had convinced Europe and Asia
to enter"
But we opine thai this second great battle which NJ Graves speaks
~@- a roIey, M.
about Nding a rter r. S%iault, after all. If Presid Wilson succeeds
in convincing Europe and gets written into the f-lfeaty his plan
for a League of Nations to enforce a perpetual peace hereafter, the
American people will see TO it that the senate does it's duty and ratifes
the treaty without much adoo.

this town today as a result Of this
competition with omer cities. Such be-
ing the case, Maysville should consid-
er itself fortunate in the musical in

year with Prof. Young to give instruc-
ton on some of the instruments used
in the orchestra, with our various pia-
no and violin teachers to instruct 9TH
err children on other instruments need
ed in High School orchestra and Mrs,
Reese for the instruction. The Nays
Vile High School should be able to|
compare in its musical training with
the best schools in the country and afI
ter all, citizens of Maysville and sur
rounding communities, we want our
children to have advantages as good
as the best.
We were surprised yesterday, when
one of our newspaper men told us that
the per capita wealth of Mason Coun-
ty was little more than one hun
dred times the average per capita
wealth in the United States. You

Der will bubble over a little question
when great issues are at stake, and in
conclusion, we want to state that we
are proud, not only of what Mrs. Reese
has accomplished in the schools or
what Prof Young has done with the
Boys Band, but let us also include,
if you please, what those emcrent vio-
lin and piano teachers have accom-
plished toward the uplift of Mays

We hope that the day will come
when the public will be sufficiently en-

offer free instruction along those lines
