OUR COUNTRY'S VITAL NEED. Men with a quickened sense of national responsibility, who will gaivanize into immediate action those who consider this war incidental instead of crucial the better that every phase of It may be vigorously prosecuted regardless of their personal sacrifice.
MEATLESS DAYS It f-eeras to us that it Is entirely unnecessary to designate any treaties riays They are here and have been here for a long time. Meat costs so much that the people are denying themselves meat several times a week. There was a time when a llB-a-week salary could buy bacon at 18 cents for the family breakfast. To-day bacon cannot be bought for less than cents a pound, and so on with all meats. Is it any wonder, when soup-benes for soup and a small piece of fat for frying: must bp paid for extra and meat is ktpt in storage houses to create a shortage. Mr. Hoover pays that the Government cannot control meat prices, that the meat question creates an unrest in the minds of the people? The Food Iaw is a farce if people must pay exorbitant prices for a pound nf beef so that ths head of a family can retain enough muscle to eupport his family. If Mr. Hoover can regulate the price of wheat, why cannot he regulate the price oJ beef?
WHY' RAILROAD EARNINGS ARE LOWER. Ttie Pennsylvania and New York Central systems in their lateet reports shov decreased earnings. This appears to be Strang in a time of prosperity, when railroads are hauling more than thy have ever before and hen wage increases with them have been of no great moment. Yet with the railroads thy are in a p-cultar position. They are hM up for raw material? and when certain of their organized employes ask for nor wages they usually g-et it. Still organized employes have been very concilfrate. But with the railroads they can't advance their charges as they f-r-e ft; they can possess no schemes for war profits; nor can they hold pile? fix'na dinners. The interstate commerce commission a'tends to tht. Thpn why in this time of prosperity aren"t the railresd showing better earnings? The answer is in the price of eteei., or rather the terrific pric of eieel. A. railroad is nothing mere than two bands of steel and a lot of fcteel possessing wheels. There are steel rails, si eel tirs, Me el n;ulr-, steel wheels, steel trucks, steel oars, Bteel locomotives the railroad's body i.s steel. During the past year railroads have paid triple and quadruple prices for their steel materials. While some steel compa-nies wallowed in unhealthy hiocd profits the railroads like all olher American enterprises were hard hit. The steel octopuses had bled them unmercifully like they did othf-r persons and institutions. But when the president's prices are in actual force the railroads may have a chance to get on their feet and to give their employes more wages.
WHO MAKES TERMS OF PEACE ? Does the victor or the vanquished usually propose peace during a war? Take America's wars and you will find that, the loser was the one to suggest an end of the fighting. Exigland and not the United States wa.- the power to request pnac in the Revolution, and America was the dinner. Mexico and not the United States was the first to talk peace in that clash 70 years ago, and aatain America was the winner. The Confederacy; whose cause was lost, made peace proposals durinp the Ovil war Ions: before Lee surrendered. Napoleon tried in vain to make peace v. i'.h Russia when he wa.; at .Moscow one bun 3 red and four years ago. but Czar Alexander, then apparent!;, the undor rioK. refused, and Napoleon's retreat followed, vith the annihi'alion of hi.? own army. It was Napoleon who again sought peace before find a'ter Leslie, but t h.Allied Powers refused, deposed him from hi. throne and sent him to Elba. The French people cried for peace, in JSTft, but K.s.uaick, the victor, didn't stop unti' all his conditions had been met. The war had been endd before Grant s.iid. "T.c? u-. have peace!"

seems to have been conducted along lines-of law and order, patriotism and fairness. The men were peaceful; the company cid not resort to the odious process of bringing in strike breakers. It is significant that these determined workmen, who asserted that outside the Adamson law they had no wage increase since 190f, although the steel corporation gave its other workmen five recent Increases, hung together. It is also significant that the officials who dealt with them admitted the justice of their grievances end dealt with them as man to man. This is a very healthy sign; there was none of the ofter.-noted fcrusqueness of officialdom. On either side negotiations were marked with skill, courtesy and no little diplomacy. In the matter of a labor difficulty the Gary switchmen comported themselves so well that not a single policeman had to t detailed for special du'y. As for the officials, they did not don the expected trappings and ornament1 of the vast financial and industrial power they represent, but. rather sought to win by abov-board persuasion and promises of a different future and ciid win the men's good will through the methods that invariably are mo.x successful than the ruthlessness too often shown by employers. In the settlement, there Is credit enough for all.
"Man is thy most awful instrument In working out a pure Intent." said Wordsworth. He meant man in war; the war that has a deep and ineffable relation to hidden grandeur in man. To execute judgments of retribution upon outrages offered to human rights or to human dignity; to vindicate the sanctity of Liberty, these are the functions cf human greatness which this war has assumed and most faithfully discharge. A righteous war such as this keeps open in man a spiracle an organ of spiritual respiration for breathing a transcendent atmosphere, and dealing with an Idea and ideal that else would perish: namely, the idea and Ideal of cruwude and martyrdom for perfect civilliation that find their realization in battle?" such as those of the Marne; battles fought for the Interest of the human race. That such battles may be repeatedly fought until the enemy shall have been definitely vanquished America entered th war. American youth the flower of the pr-ople has responded to the call; the youth that in the natural course of human events had long life In prospect. The country now asks that they who have enjoyed a longer and fuller life respond In turn, not with the tender of their lives but with money; with money that will give food, raiment and arms to our youth. Without food, raiment and arms our young men can do nothing. Industry Is. so to speak, the brother-in-arms of the soldier. It makes the money thst aids incalculably in winning a war. For three years our Industries have flourished ' as never before; an immensa prosperity derived chiefly from the necessities of our present allies. We shall not only be performing the highest possible duty to the world and ourselves by supporting our government financially hut we shall requite 1n 'small measures the business bounty of the Allies to us. The war has reached a stage where money is become equally important with man-power. The ever-weakening economic condition of the Central Powers Is proof of this. Food and ammunition are now the prime requisites. The $3,000.000.000 bonds which our government is offering will provide the food and ammunition. Therefore the loan must enlist the support of all classes; the farmer end urban laborer as well rs V; merchant and financier. Remember that in subscribing to the bonds you at once fulfill your patriotic obligations and maintain our prosperity. Every dollar put Into the bonds will be spent here an4 the spending Insures a
BERNSTORFF STUFF The Gary Post, as quoted by the Indiana Times, says: "Jim Watson to'd the Virginia Republicans that the plunging of this country into war by President Wilson was the 'most astounding piece of treacherj that ever shook this country.'" The statement that Senator Watson made this statement 4s a deliberate misrepresentation, which has been completely refuted. Whether or not Its circulation in Indiana Is an effort to discredit President Wilton is a part of the rro-German propaganda would be a proper subject for Investigation by the federal suthortrles. Muncie Press. Everybody knows that Senator Watson never "old any such thing to the Virginia Republican? nor to any other Republicens, but what's a matter of p. lie or two between Democratic newspapers and Captain Buddy?

After this righteous war is over there is every prospect of a higher premium on the security to winch your government solicits jour subscription.
