WAR EFFICIENCY WANTED.

How one longs for the efficiency in labor that this country knew while the war was in progress! Cities almost were built practically over night. American workmen took pride in the speed with which they accomplished their tasks, and the character of the product that was turned out.
 They. as we'll as the soldiers at tho front and those on the way to the front. were inspired by patriotism. in spite of slurring remarks made about those who had bomb proof jobs.''
 If they would only feel now as they did then. and if the employers would have that thrill of loyalty to the country that took hold of them at that time and sent many of them to lect of their own affairs. there would be little criticism of lack of produc- ton in this country at this time.
 And production. efficiency. is need ed now so terribly. continuance of the lack of it is inconceivable. For this is America and We are Americans. despite the fact that some of us seem to have forgotten it temporarily Tn the discussion of politics and the high cost of living.
 A bit of encouragement is given by the news that the car situation has been improved. Freight cars to the number of 964.25e were loaded dur ing the week ending August 21. This Is said to have been the heaviest car movement for the year. and nearly as great as the activity of any one week while the war was in progress
 We are not fighting now for life. We are fighting that breath may come easier. It is for our country, too. and those who live in it. Work, economy. efficiency; no slackers. no loiterers- these are what we need and, because we are Americans. these things will come.

THE |, W. W.

Possibly everyone does not know what the I. W. W. is and whence it sprung. Several years ago it boasted of a mcmbeship chiefly of "hoboes. There we're clever men and boys among the ranks. and the 'lndepen- dent workers of the World" was the name that appealed to them- They worked only enough to get them about the country. mainly on freight trains, riding on the bumpers often. They would stop at various places and work long enough to get few. dol lars, which would feed them until they wanted to work again. Truly they were independent workers.
 The band grew, and chances were seen to develop 1t. Real workers were enticed into the ranks, and something resem bling an organization sprang up.
 Yesterday they were addressed by Big Bill Haywood" in New York. There was an attempt made to raise free political prisoners. The police put an end to the activities.
 The I. ". W. has been quiet for a long time, for them. Fun and publicity and notoriety is what they crave and for a long time they had it.
 Mention is made of the so-called or ganization' here only as one would mention some danger. not serious yet, but which. if allowed to grow. would become a real menace. The straight forward workman today reads. He call his attention to the roots from which this organization sprang. and the character of the charter mem- bers."

ally. fell asleep. It was to the mother ot the boy that the judge talked later She has promised, to take better care or the boy and keep him at home nights. So the lad was dismissed. A reformatory for parents! It is good idea.
 There was once a character in fic- tion by the name of Handsome Harry well known to young readers. He was a rough diamond Of the big hearted type. but given to getting very drunk and playing d bad game called roulette" The edi- tor Of the weekly wanted his paper to have a better influence on the bows who read it habituaIIy, so he wanted Handsome Harry reformed. It would not do to have one of the heroes, whose deeds whede narrated weekly. a drinking man and one who gambled.
 The writer of the stories was
 sehmped' as to how reform the man and still make him interesting. Finally he hit upon the plan of hay Ing him adopt a lad of about ten years. after rescuing him from a brutal father. Handsome Harry got to loNe the lad, and his thoughts be- gan to turn toward the hope that the boy would grow up into a strong. hne man. Perhaps he might become president of the United States. like Abraham Lincoln. Then Handsome Harry saw that he must set the boy a good example. He stopped drinking and gam bling-he went to his own reformatory. and the lad and Hand some Harry both became strong men in every sense of the word
 A reformatory for parents is imprc- table of course. But in some cases it would be a great thing. Education is the reformatory needed-no reforma- tory will teach humanity and love.

WISELY INGENIOUS

Lawyers and judges are not noted for their ingenuity along the direction of wisdom except as applied to fnd- ing cases to support some theory applicable to case in hand
 Solomon died many years ago. There have been few like him-for Solomon was a judge in fact.
 Therefore it comes as refreshing news to find one judge who has made q really novel suggestion. based on no legal precedent. but upon common senre and humanity.
 Judge Williams, of the Juvenile Court in Baltimore hau suggested a reformatcry for parents as the best means of stopping crimes. The ut- terance from tho bench must have come as dicta for thero appears to have been no crine committed in tho matter under discussion A lad nine years old was taken into court, hav- ing been found asleep In a vacant lot. ft appears ho went to the movies. en- tered the vacant lot. ard. e;skte uatur-

 The farther the Republican party turns from tendency to favor q more definite association. the fewer grow its chances of success. for it is fighting against destiny. The Demo- cratic party and Governor Cox may have carried the theory too far. and may be too definite in detail. but it is n definiteness in the right direc- ton. The Republican party will come to something like it. We arc already in League. not of diplomats. crea- tion. but one created by circumstances over which we have no control It would bo we'll to formulate the rules that will govern this league or asso- citation. by whatever name 1t is to be called-for it is here.
