The f.bia-:t has decided on an appropriation ' for parvha.-ing rice to be sold to the people at .v.-.r-r.ite prkr, and many wealthy men are contribut-r.-vast .-u-;.s to the national rice fund. Hesitation on th" part, of the government to take action regulating ;.'i(f .-i is responsible for the condition that has arisen. At the present time there is no indication that the affert, other than indirectly, the war ac- ; . cf .tp'iii. V:ut a reutdy must ho found soon that v ;: . . ,,0 )Ojjair.tir.u t the plans of tho govern-ti-rr.t and the allies may he jeopardized. A goTernment hat is rent with insurrection, regardless of its origin, is nr.- sn portion to deal effectively with elaborate foreign fr.'erprises. A hungry people are not, as a rule, 1n a 1r.0o.-l to lend support to any project that does not imnicdiusHy itiieve their need.'. Ir is not difficult to see that there are large poss h:i:';-;s for opposition to embarking upon a war pron.v.ii while the inhabitants of a country are already -,.ff' ling from hunger. But In this instance the rice is ndy in storage, it is merf ly a question of forcing .- .- who are holding it to release ir at a price that is hin the reach of tlTr.re to whom it is necessary to t;;in life, E!iy3 the Lafayette Journal. Tho riis inc'inaMoa to deal with the situation with an iron hand and establish prices may indicate that J a panes internal affairs are not all that might be def ;:?(.! in the mntter of unanimity. It is not a sound policy cf 1 iccedare that would appropriate money to pay ex fcorhitant prices for an essential foodstuff and distribute 1' at a pric which the people can pay, the difference peine charged -"in red figures In the national ledger. This, ir.ay do to momentarily relieve a threatening situation, V-tt only indirectly are the people being afforded relief, ts the loss must be made good through taxation. Such H policy is a manifestation of clas favoritism that wilt jDot be long tolerated. Japan does not fear her proletariat; i there- another formidable class of whom the tovcrnment s"ands in awe and hesitates to offend?

GERMAN VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY. Frederich Wilheim Nietzche was one of the most noted of modern German philosophers. How much har his philosophy affected the views and character of the Germans of today? Is not the answer written in the blood of the women and children, the old men of occtj. pied France and Belgium? Are not the !.'i;ania victims wiinesses to Go 1 man adoption of Niot.che's faith? Here is his indictment of Christianity; "With this I (or.iiiide, and ;roio!inv my sentence: I concern ( r v.- tian'i) . To me it n tin' gif;itist of rt11 irraj-inable . in ii pt ii.n.. The cioircli is the j.reiii juirasite; with us anemic idea of holiness it drains life of all its strength, its love, and its hope. The ifffier world Is the motive for The dfnial of every reality. I call Christianity the one mea' curse, the one great intrinsic d-M-ravity. tl. one great instinct of reeng for which no e,)fi'.-..t is suitJciently poisonous, secret, underbuild, (o gain ts ends. I cull it the one immortal shame stnd blemish upon th human race."' REGISTER DO NOT DELAY. Th registration lists in their present condition indicate tha- many thousands of Lake counf voters will he barred from 'he privilege of the ballot in November.

Tho !---.-.. i.-n li-is at this time show that only a f"w j t i..l l-.n vf jet iff ivi. It is reasonable, therefore, toj ; : ,e ..a: a nunibt proliahiy in excess of L'0,"no re-J mains unregi.- oe-ed. This is a bad showing and oucht I 1

to t'O ui:.;'rov . -1 ;st once. Fiahting for ;': sp-ead of democracy in the world we are neglecting the t'allot. tlie institution that is fundamental in our on and in any democracy. It does not look well and it most surely will not be well if ihe election. come on finding hut a small fraction of the electorate in this community qualified under the law o exercise the right of franchise. Of course there will be added resist rat ions on up to the last day that the lists remain open, which is to be October 1, but there must be a greatly accelerated move mem in that direction or the larger body of the voters will be barred by their own negligence from the polling ho.'hs end the community will be pelf-stigmatized as binding a veiy inert and indifferent spirit of citizenship. The fact of the war, so far from being an excuse or pretext for viewing elections as without civic importance, is added reason for sharper interest and better vigilance in concern for the affairs of government and the character of he men who are to administer them. Register at your earliest convenience and do it wi'b the resolve that you will not be remiss in your duty of citizenship on the day of the election.

ALLOTMENT AN DALLOWANCE CHECKS. There has been a change in the sys'em of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance of the Treasury in the matter of a'lotntr.t and allowance checks. This results in some the check? sent out by the bureau being for smaller sums than heretofore, but the amounts omitted from the checks fr.t out by the bureau w-ill be included in checks sent

The new system win simplify Ihe work of the bureau and is expected to accelerate the payment of allotments p.nd allowances.

A FLIVVER SENATOR. The suggested candidacy of Henry Ford for the position of I'nited States senator from Michigan has not aroused the enthusiasm which he and his friend. President Wilson, may possibly have anticipated. The opposition is not all partisan by any means, for some leading democratic papers are as strong against Ford as are some republican newspapers and candidates. And even men who are inclined to take a broadguaged view of things in general are not sure that overmuch praise should be given to an attempt of a president who says that in these times politics should be forgotton to dictate the nomination of a senator by the opposition party. Truly we have come to the days of a democra'ie dictatorship. Henry Ford is doubtless doing his part now towards the winning of the war, and, from an industrial standpoint, he is doubtless doing very well. But somehow, people cannot forget, his earlier pacifism and that peace party which was going to get the boys out of the trenches before Christmas. And, although he has sincerely repented and brought forth fruits meet for repentance, it is natural that men would Question some what his judgment on matters of large moment. It does

not follow that a man is a statesman just because he j has filled this and other countries with a cheap autonto- ;

bile. In this country we have altogether too much of the idea that, because a man can do one thing well, he can excel in all things. It is a mistake. Iet the shoemaker stick to his last! There is no real sense in spoiling a good manufacturer for the sake of making a mediocre senator. There are many men in Michigan who have had far better training for the post in the senate and whose record for the last four years has been more consistent. What is the need of disturbing a man useful where he is that he may do what others may perhaps do even be'ter? Is there not just a possibility that the president has in this case stirred up politics instead of putting them aside? Isn't there also some argument to the effect that Ford had better remain in Industry than be in the sen ate? asks a contemporary. WALDOW WILI WOODROW WON'T.

Congressman William F. Waldow of New York be-: lieves the Fnited Statrs should follow- the example of i England and provide a joint committee on accounts, com ! posed of member? of the senate p.nd house, whose duty j it would be to supervise the expenditure of the f normou sums of money necessary to carry fin the war. In proof i of the need of some such controlling body Mr. Waldow ; cites the great disproportion between the first estimated I cost of our military operations and the actual exoendi 1

tu- When the fhst revenue bill was taken up in the house the secretary of the treasury informed congress that. $:',SOn.oao,fifiO would be needed to meet our war expenses for the fifcal ytar ending .Tune .10, lftlS. Our Hppr , ' .'.j.' o;s and authorizations for lhat period Mr. Waldow figures a" $2X.fiT0.B6tl,9:t,.T9. In other words, the estimates wire in error to the extent of about twenty billion dollars. The congressman contends that a much closer approximation between estimates, revenues and expenditures could be obtained by the formation of sorr" such committee as he has sucgesfed.
