ABANDONING THRIFT

Figures have not generally been published showing the
redemption of war savings stamps by the government through
the post offices. But, manifestly, they are important If we are
to have a correct idea of how the thrift campaign, which we
have been following in reports of purchases of this popular
eilt-edged security, is really going. 1t is not going favorably,
for instance, in a southern city where, according to report,
stamps to the value of some twelve thousand dollars are being
bought monthly, and where in one month the government was
called upon to redeem more than a hundred thousand dollars
worth. In several northern cities the record is about as bad.
Generally speaking, there can be no doubt that the per-
sistent high cost of living is causing many investors to cash
their stamps. But whatever the reasons, the marked ebbing
of the thrift tide is distressing. There should be a new slogan
Hold on to W. S. S." as well as BUY"
1t would be enlightening to have a statement from the
treasury department of the situation countrywide. LII mas
always been recognized that there would be some. percentage
of redemptions. but the indication is that it is growing beyond
The bounds of real necessity. The treasury suffers as well as
those who turn back the stamps. For the latter the money,
originally saved and securely invested at a good interest, is
soon spent-it is hard to believe that any large proportion Of
1T IS deposited in savings banks or well invested otherwise
And the government must pay back money borrowed In the
confidence that it would not be called for until 1923 or 1924.
lIhe interest is saved, to be sure, but the government is not
lust now in a position to redeem its funded obligations on a
large scale.
One may sell Liberty or Victory bonds without disturbing
the treasurys calculations. They are simply exchanged
among individuals at an agreed price. But the treasury stands
behind the war saving stamps, pledged to redeem them at
full value when offered on ten days notice. During the war
the money received from their sale provided a constant flow
Of revenue that was very acceptable to the government. But
il the tide is now turning strong the other way, the drain on
the treasury cannot be pleasant to contemplate.
Stop redeeming!

NEW BOSSES FOR THE OLD

Senator Thomas of Colorado likened that Mr.. Fitzpatrick
who had his picture taken the other day with a big smile on
his face, as if the strike made him %happy--to the kaiser. The
Colorado senator may mean many things by that comparison.
That Fitzpatrick is arbitrary and bloodthirsty. provided it is
The other fellows gore that is to be shed. Or he may simply
mean that the strike leader is a boss and likes to be a boss.
And this is one thing that the masses of laboring men do not
always take into consideration. They are told that the present
captains of industry are hateful men, but in the very nature
of things when they are deposed will there not be other cap
iains of industry? You cannot carry on great enterprises with
mobs. There must be leaders, captains and all that. Some
must still do what others tell them to do. Will the Fitzpatricks
and the rest of thent be in the end more acceptable than the
Garys' Are not the Fitzpatricks apt to be DULLES themselves?
For a duplicate of the conditions that such men as Fitz-
patrick and Foster. the head of the syndicalsts, want to estab-
lish, go to Russia under Lenine and Trotsky. They represent
exactly what Foster has ~elucidated in his writings. And where
on earth has there ever been a tyranny more absolute than in
Russia under those two apostles of primal darkness?. Presl-
dent Wilson the other day made the statement that the Rus
sian masses had been more tyrannized over under Lenine than
under the old czars-and is there any one acquainted with the
conditions who can deny it?
These new would-be leaders of the industrial world are not
the saints that some of their followers think them to be-they
ARE Just as much mistaken about their leaders, in many cases,
as the German people were mistaken about their kaisers when
they believed them appointed of God. They are idols with
feet of clay and often the feet are cloven to boot. Those
leaders would not be so enthusiastic about strikes if their own
wages stopped with the wages of men. Lenine and Trotsky,
or at least, Trotsky most, who have been the loudest pro-
chalmers of the rights of labor to run its own industries, lived
in the palaces of the czars with lackeys and wines and women,
probably women who had been Communicated under the
Martial naturalization of Meanwhile thousands, were shot to
death in the cities or starved in the land. These new masters
they exchanged in Russia for the old were not altogether
desirable. And the men who; would be masters in this country
might be much worse than even the now hated Mr.. Gary.

WHY NOT FOR THEMSELVES?

If Mr.. Fitzpatrick and Mr.. Foster, syndicalst, really know
so much about the steel business that they want to tell Mr..
Gary and his associates how to run the plant, why wonder they
do not go into the business on their own hook? There are still
openings left. When Mr.. Schwab was edged out of the parent
company he organized one of his own and he has made it go.
II the strikers had set aside the millions they will lose i'm
wages during these weeks and the millions that other union
men have to contribute to keep them going, they would have
had money enough to build an enormous plant, under the
management of Fitzpatrick and Foster. If they had done that
they would be able to tell Mr.. Gary to go to kingdom come and
they would have been their own masters and they could have
paid such wages as they saw fit and work only thirty minutes
an hour, if that is their idea of running things.
There are a lot of men who spend a deal of time in kick
ng about other men, who might be running things to suit
themselves if they would only save some of their money as
other men did and edge into some business of their own. This
is a free country and they who want to do so can start into
and are still doing it. The men in business today were but
recently upstairs" and will be superseded by the "npstarts" of
tomorrow.
In places like New York city hundreds of thousands of
men are piled one on top OF. the other. gathered from all parts
of the world, demanding work from other men and then stipu-
lating for themselves how much work they will do for q dollar
And if the work is not given them on their own conditions
ind terms they begin to raise trouble. Anyone ought to realize
that such human beings can pile up thicker than work can be
provided for them and that when they are so piled up they
cannot live decent lives.
Those men do not have to strike, they do not have to be
and tell those others to go to kingdom come. There are plenty
of opportunities for such men in other places. They can set
up little shops OF their own and they can cultivate the soil
where conditions will be more favorable for their children.
These turbulent elements headed by men like Fitzpatrick
and the red-minded Foster should spend a little more time
saving their own money and investing il. in steel plants of their
own-if they really think themselves capable to manage such
plants. They need not damn the Garys-let them go into the
business for themselves and then they will find themselves
damned in turn. r

ONE MAN TALKS BACK

The Honorable Henry Wise Wood, who is spokesman TOT
The American league to preserve cur independence, has re-
scented the statements of the president that the only men who
are opposed TO the league of nations are the hyphens OF
america, meaning, of course, pro-Germans. MI. WOOD sent
n personal telegram to the president. following this declara-
lion, in which he said, among other things:
"The press this morning quotes you as having
made the following statement: The only organized
forces opposed to the league of nations are hyphen-
ated Americans. outside, mean, of the congressional
circles
aThis statement. sir. is a falsehaad. The league
for the preservation of American independence, which
was formed in March last to support those in the SEN
ate who oppose the covenant in its present intolerably
~un-American form. was founded and is administered
by. men who with Theodore Roosevelt and Leonard
Wood organized the preparedness movement, and
who, subsequently, untiringly pointed out to you your
duty, to which you did not awake until two and a
half years thereafter.
"t need not be added that these men were bit
terly opposed to Germany and her methods long
before you were, nor that it i'll becomes a chief
executive to slur the Amercanism of those who
would preserve it."
should not bear false witness against his neighbor and Mr.
Wilson did that throughout his tour, in which he invented
such phrases as contemplate ~ostriches,' CUTTERS and
finally "hyphens" for those who have been unwilling to beno
TO his schoOlmaSter will.
So far as hyphens are concerned the president himself
fingered in the outskirts of that class about as long as any one
Was it a 100 per cent American who spoke of being too
proud to fight after the Germans had sunk American mothers
and their babies clinging to them? Was it a 100 per cent
American who told the nations which eventually became our
allies that that as he viewed it they were all fighting for the
0me things, the German cause being as holy as that OF the
allies, and that he wanted to promote a peace without victory
Tor either side? Who was hyphenated in his sy~mpathies al
that time? And that was a time when other Americans were
realizing that it was an irrepressible conflict between the
right and wrong.

$50 YOU see. you've lost everythlng!
BUT NOT MY SOUL"
II was onlv the fancy of a facile artist; but it was
the verv truth of everlasting history. By his refusal OF
the German demand, King Albert brought upon MN
self and upon his country such woe ana traeeuy
as no other sovereign and nation have ever known.
But he saved his integrity, his self-respect, ms hohor,
in a word, his soul. Saving his own soul, he saved
the soul of Belgium. Saving the soul of Belgium, ne
saved the soul of Europe, of the world. 1t IS an Ola
story. though because of its truth it must never grow
outworn. that through the stubborn self-sacrlflce Oh

of France and Englands contemplate little army
in turn checked them just long enough to give DOM
those countries time to rally all their strength; ana
finally those countries at awful cost held the hne VI
civilization against barbarism just long enough to give
slothful and dilatory America time to awake to hr
duty and to hurl her determining weight into the scale.
But it all began with Belgium. And 1T is commensur-
ately true that the ineffable moral and spiritual upllft
which reused humanity against the beast, mad It's
initial impulse in King Albert's heroic decision to save
his soul, though he should lose all the world.
We have welcomed home our own returning
heroes and their gallant chief. We have welcomed
the princely priest who proved to the world that the
spirit of Elijah at Carmel and of Paul at Ephesus
still lived and %triumphed And thdy were worthy of
all that an appreciative people could offer them. But
no warmth of welcome, no splendor of pageantry, no
blaze of banners and blaring of massed bands, no
noisy acclaim of multitudinous tongues nor silent
tribute of grateful hearts, can be too great for the
deserts of this later guest who now revisits these
shores. Not only a king but also a man, the sternest
democrat will honor himself by honoring him; and the
Red, White and Blue of America will win new lustre
through being entwined with the Brabanters' Black,
Gold and Red.

But Switzerland has refused to consider it, for the present at
least. Tradiionally and historically the Swiss are keen for

Thousands Have kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

When Cork is Driven in Bottle.

When a cork slides down inside q
bottle it is very difficult to get it out
unless one has the necessary tools,
and they are not always available,
writes Victor H. Todd, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
good way to extract it is to grease
the neck of the bottle with vaseline
then hold the bottle under cold water.
When the bottle is as cold as pos
sible spear the cork with hat pin,
or even shake it until it blocks the
neck of the bottle and sets straight
with the neck, Then gradually heat
the bottle or pour hot water over it
and the expanding air will generally
force the cork out with a slight pop.

Must Depend on Spain.

There seems little prospect, how
ever. that the state department will
accent such a construction and Off
Gals there say American trade will
have to accommodate itself to the
facilities of the Spanish agents in Ger
many until state of peace has been
defined directly between that country
and the United States.
AS a matter of fact, the lack of
American consular representation is
declared by the administration Off
Gals to be the greatest present handi-
cap to resumption of trade. With the
presidents authorization of blanket
licenses under the trading with the
enemy act last July, commercial inter-
course with Germany practically was
freed from legal restrictions and it
continues in that situation. There are
some prohibited articles, such as
drugs. chemicals and dyestuffs, but
tbe bars are down to most of the or
binary articles of commerce.
It is explained that this condition
applies chiefly on imports from Ger
many. though it affects in less degree
shipments from this country to Ger
MANI. 1t is in the import situation
that the government is chiefly con-
cerned and for which the American
consuls in Germany are needed. OF
course, Germany also lacks consular
representation here, though arrange
=
ments have been made to admit GER
tain German trade agents to arrange
for shipments of raw mGterial rom
this country.
