Bonds of Industry.

EOR long time, American economists and big
business men have been quite well aware that
our destinies inseparably bound with those of
other nations by that tie stronger than blood
which is trade. It's all very we'll for insular poll
ticians and those with axes to grind to preach
splendid isolation" but the thing is not working
and will not work.
Just how closely bound are our domestic and
foreign trade is we'll illustrated by the comment of
the New York Times statements by Dwight W.
Morrow. Mr.. Morrow, declares the Times, takes
one of the most familiar of domestic products
as an object lesson-shoes made of hides from Ar
gentina in a Massachusetts, factory 1t makes little
difference whether not the shoes exported
Even when worn out in the town which produces
them they part of international trade.
Besides the hides it is necessary to import rubber
for soes and heels, hbres for sewing and lining,
dyes and acids for tanning and coloring, and many
other articles which come most cheaply from the
ends of the earth. The goods must be assembled
and distributed by railways and ships. Even the
miners of ores and Goals well as the railway and
shipping workers, interested in the shoe trade.
So large industry must be financed and cannot
separate itself from Wall Street. 1t is impossible
to dissect this and similar economic processes into
parts which thrive survive independent
ly. United stand, divided fall is maxi
mum which Mr.. Morrow recommends alike to fac
tory and farm, town and city, importer and
porter, producer and distributor"

Sometimes Lesser Evil.

WYE MAY call war sinful; we may arrive at
w time when all physical force directed
at the well-being of another will be regarded as
sinful. But while hurl anathemas at the game
of Mars and seek earnestly so to arrange that it
shall never be played again, let not forget the
wars of righteousness of Biblical and later days.
In this connection, the New Republic COM
ments editorially on statement of the Church.
that "all should be declared SIM" as
follows:
The New Republic has the utmost svmpatbv
with any Christian journal which has the cor-.a.
to insist on the contradiction between a sincerely
Christian life and the pugnacious moral seIf-rpht
eousness OF contemporary Christian communities
we fully agree with the Churchman in believing
that the Christian churches should refuse to bless
any war War is hell and when the Christian
clergy bless 1t they in our opinion betraying
their Master. But the refusal to bless war Is not
equivalent to the absolute reputation of all war
The world being what it is conscientious people
are frequently urged to consent to ENTERPRISES of
which they cannot wholly approve. Whether or
not people shall fight war is not usually a
choice between a good and an evil 1t is almost
always choice between two evils, and sometimes
war may be the lesser of the two evils When the
Northern States decided to resist bv force the
secession of the South and the establishment on
American soil of a Commonwealth with negro
slavery as its peculiar and dominant institution
they selected in our opinion the lesser of two
evils When the United States decided in April
1917 to take part in the European war rather
than connive at German victory by consenting
to the submarine campaign, it also selected in our
opinion the lesser of two evils. If the consent
to particular war is the lesser of two evils par
ticipstion in war is not necessarily sinful except
in so far as the imperfection of all human life
renders it sinful. AS general principle the
presumption lis against war; but war remains for
the present an apparently unavoidable method of
preventing worse evils than ITSELF"

Charles S. Mitchell

IRON years of unselhsh labor from battle
r ground where he fought always for the
right, Charles S. Mitchell, editor-in-chief of
The Washington Herald, has passed on to the
tranquility of another life.
His associates his scores of new-found friends
in the Capital, his unnumbered admirers in the
State whence he came are oppressed by his
departure, altogether unexpected though he had
lain i'll for weeks. But with abe sense of sadness
and dominating it, there comes the sense of his
nobility of character, the that, shall we have
wrought we'll when turn comes we shall
have achieved what is greater than wealth powell
or far-reaching fame-the nobility of rectitude.
To the who writes these lines as to all
others with whom he had daily contact, Charley
Mitchell was inspiration. Out of his store of
knowledge, CLEANED equally from books of men
and the book of life, he had erected the guiding
principle of true philanthropy. He loved and be-
lieved in the people. And his works were for
them. He corrected those false thoughts, those
gatherings of faith in the Ultimate Good, which
are liable to Cypress all at times.
Broad-gauged was this newspaperman. AS he
through the stages of journalism, his sturdy
and sanguine spirit accepted with equal tranquility
the fortunate and the adverse happening and nodded
itself in hneness and strength. Following his ad-
vent in Washington, little more than a year ago.

torisl expedient denoting temporary paucity of
writing material, but with case to hand of a
rather striking nature it seems permissible to
5emark, has been remarked so many times,
that along with our diplomats, and technical ex-
perts, Cabinet officers badly in need of salary
increases.
o.. Postmaster General Hays, live wire of the
last campaign and promoter of efficiency and good
feeling in his department is seriously thinking of
quitting his position to accept remunerative job
with a great moving picture concern.
While to most of the members of the present
Cabinet the salary of $4,000 is not important
points out the Baltimore News, ito some Of them
it is serious consideration"
an the case of Mr.. Hayes" this paper con-
tnues, "is excellent instance of the indirect
profits of politics. If Mr.. Hays had not had
the opportunity to show his mettle as chairman
of the Republican Committee, and if he had
not attained the eminence of Cabinet portfolio
this offer of $4,000 year would not have come
to him. So it may be held that Cabinet place
really pays more than the salary of $1,000; it
holds opportunity that may lead to large wealth.
"As Postmaster General Mr.. Hays has ex.
hibited the qualities that are popular with show
men directing great publicity propositions. He
vitalized the postal service, and in an incredibly
short time turned the psychology of the country
from carping spirit finding fault with the de-
partment to an expressed Admiration of the i'm
proved and accelerated service. This was dis
tfnct achievement. and Mr.. Hays is entitled to
credit
"But while motion pictures may need a guild.
ing hand and while Mr.. Hays may need the
money, it will be unfortunate if the offer of
more pay will make the first break in the present
Cabinet. Perhaps if the Cabinet salary were in
cteased it might help, but any reasonable increase
could not span the difference. 1t will be as
it has been, that serving the governmnt has in
it more sacrifice than profit"

He is only AZ years old and

Appointed to- the stan of a divi-

Becoming rather a nuisance to
the bigwigs at grand headquarters,
he was sent home and promptly

gave him a brigade OF infantry, at
