A SMAIL SERVICE FLAG IS THE MOST RECENT OF FADS

The service flag that is now seen in the windows of so many American homes is now made on a smaller model and may be worn by the women folks whose men ar in the army. This new idea is becoming popular and Red Cross workers are wearing the flags in honor of those wo are serving at the front.

From the green fields of Ireland and the historic homes of the Norsemen; from southern Europe- and the slopes of the Ural mountains we have gathered here men hardened to toil and unafraid of great adventure. It has been our task, our contribution to '"that far-off, divine event toward which the whole creation moves," to mold them into

would be more unealthful still to try to send them away. We have the power and with it the right to keep out Of this country those whom we don't like and don't want. That is, we can and do keep them out if they try to come from China, Abyssinia, Borneo, New- Guinea or Siam. llut it happens that the great majority of those who populate our asylums, jails and hospitals are not from these places, nor from the European sources of our immigration. They are deposited upon our shores by that magnificent, quadruple-

ecrew. non-eapsizable, non-wreckable ship, the Storkania, making daily

and weekly stops to deliver passengers at every cross-roads village in the country. While we keep out undesirable citizens by the dozen from the ocean routes, they are coming to us in thousands from the sky. We are exceedingly careful about the inflow by way of Ellis Island. Evn after an immigrant arrives, he must wait several years before we allow him to vote. But if he is so Inclined, he can marry an American born woman of subnormal mind, and with sublime legality bring into this country a half-witted child every year. That is, we deny him the privilege of voting for public improvements, but we blithely permit him to create public liabilities. Counting chicks before they are hatched is great sport. The postcard which enthusiastic San Francisco pro-Germans sent to "Kronprinz Friedrich, Verdun," during the early days of the world's greatest battle, has come back bearing a neat French inscription. "Pas encore arrive a Verdun," or, in plain English, "He hasn"t got here yet."

;;l SUBSTITUTING CENTR ALIZED GOVERNMENT Many editors as well as other students of the tendencies of national legislation and administration in their drift toward centralized government express grave fears over th outcome of it all. Not a few thinkers discern an era of permanent state socialism in the near future, and among the newspapers that have carried articles along these lines are the Muncie Press, the New York Times and the Philadelphia Press. The well-informed Muncie editor, conscious that the entrance of a great nation into war entails more or less autocracy in the war government, is restless over the centralization tendency. He says there is wonder whether the yielding of many of our rights and liberties now will be followed by their return when the war ends. He points out that. Abraham Lincoln employed

Its most int-nsi expression Is foam! in ihHr w sh that centraliza

tion (eovernmfP.fal regulation l.e impoivd upon th frightful autocracy of extortionate prices and speculation in the necessaries of life. That more than anything else is cnuf-inc tli drift toward state socialism, which is hardly satisfactory. That is why there is a disposition to substitute regulation from Washington instead of opression from the speculative, financial and productive controlling ceniers of New York or Chicago. Lincoln's day is unlike the present time. Now there ire giant industrial monopolies and great coimi!rcial enterprises, centralized, many of which are displaying un-American tiLdcncies. No conquering German generals could have imposed as savage and extortionate taxe? upon the American people as have bi en filched from them by the greedy directors of certain 6teel. coal and food organizations. The American people have been forced to demand relief from these oppressions and they have sought to alleviate the pressure by substituting centralization of government for autocracy and extortion cf centralized business. No factors are so potent in bringing about state socialism than your big packers, steel, grain and coal magnates; anil if government fixation of steel, coal unI food prices does not successfully, work out becausa ol the continued unpatriotisni of the masters of these businesses then governmental seizure will brine about that form of state socialism, which despite its undesirability will become inevitable for the tine being. How far we go into state socialism depends not upon the disposition of the administration and congress toward governmental ownership as It does on the attitude of certain large corporations. It seems that It should not he necessary to be continually warninc financiers and business men that they tread on dangerous ground when they continue to pile up huge blood profits. When lh war em's we can feel assured that by IhM time we will have made it. pretty well impossible lor any further great exploitation of the people. Despite the need now to extend government regulation, we have no fear either for any permanent form of autocracy or state socialism. But we flo see in sight the benefits of having the government make certain elements of finance and business submit to regulations that will curb their
