TAINTED COIN AGAIN.

A statement issued by Dr. Samuel Zane Bat
ten, secretary of the social service education board
tor the American Baptist Publication society, urges
Baptist churches throughout the country to refuse
money offered by prohteers. Dr. Batten main
tains that every church should know whether any
OF its members are engaged in profiteering, and
that the church should refuse to touch the dirty
money of these people.
Just how the church is going to find whether
any of its members have been overcharging for
goods or service, in the present frenzied state of
business, is not made plain If Dr. Batten could
formulate rules by which the prohteer may be test
ed and found PROTECTING, the country as whole
would be deeply grateful to him.
Moreover DR.. Batten brings up the whole
moot question of tainted money" again. Just
when and how does given amount of coin or cur
rency which has many times been onestly earned
and which is ready again to give honest service
acquire its taint?
The whole thing, when analysed, becomes
Perpexing and battling.
Nevertheless DR.. Batten, on the big moral is
is more than half right Prohteers are, in
deed as he says the meanest kind of thieves" And
the church will make the will of God very plain
on this subject. The church is the vehicle for ex-
pressing public opinion in the matter of morals If
prohteering is held in adherence by every church
member the country over, if every one sticks clos
y in his business dealings to the letter and spirit o
the golden rule, pro6teering will die sudden and
unprovided death

We are Americans we cannot light our gov

Who is it says that Americanism is dead: thai
anarchy has replaced our national traditions; that
only darkness lies ahead, with the end where none

Let him who says it reads the lie to his doubts

Workers officials to the mandate of their govern
ment, expressed through the federal court, order
ing them to call off the coal miners strike which
had been held in violation of the law, For seven
teen hours the official wrested with the problem.
1t was great temptation to them to stand by their
guns; it was hard to submit. But the miners prov
ed their Americanism; they proved that after all,
the extreme radical element which has held a
leadership of labor lately all too long does not
represent the real heart of labor-that country
comes hrst and country is greater than labor or
capltal-or labor and capital combined.
In deciding to obey the mandate of the court
the union officials, of course did the only safe
thing. To have done otherwise might have plung-

local shows and has supervised the
state grain exhibit at Madison.
"Peas are adapted to climate In
which corn does not mature, accord
ing to Mr.. Alberto. The work of Prof
F. j Delwiche at the branch stations
has developed the quality of the peas
rapidly, until here are now three
strains of pedigreed peas, the Scotch

in INTEREST-sAvE-
UNJUST Pc NO SAGGING"
R00SEVELT'S LAST PLEA
Applies In Most Direct Manner to Pop.
ular Support of Nations Finan-
cling Projects.

That Theodore Roosevelt's last plea
ging back" has the most direct appli-
cation to popular support of govern
ment financing projects, including sale
of War Savings Stamps was the state
ment made today by A. R. Rogers,
chairman OF ti& central committee,
War Loan organization for the Ninth
Federal Reserve District
Roosevelt with his keen American
ism saw the possibility of sag COM
ing with the actual fighting at an end
and was a most earnest worker to
keep the hearts and thoughts of the
people placed right during the period
of rebuilding the same as in the war
period" Mr.. Rogers said.
Every argument that applied to the
habit of thrift during the war applies
to it today. The personal benefit of
saving Is as great as ever, the profit
from interest on the investment is still
as good as it was. The security of
any loan made to the government was
unquestionable and today, with fight
ing at an end and even the possibility
that Germany might triumph gone, 1t
is perfect.
when Roosevelt said there must
be no sagging' he meant that the hab-
its of right action developed by the
war must be continued. If he had
been asked he would have said that
for the American earners to keep, for
their future benefit and the bene-
fit of their families, part of
their earnings, was just as i'm
portant as any of the big national
policies He would have said that to
the Garner and saver himself savings
are Immensely important.
ITO stop saving and buying War
Savings Stamps today would be as
bad for the man at home as it would
be for the soldier holding the Rhine
to go on duty from now on without a
rife. Cashing the stamps now which
a person has bought before, Is simply
q retreat, as If the army that fought its
way to victory should run back to the
Marine and beckon to the enemy to
pour into France once more"
