Think About Thts

The old flub-dubs in the Senate are those who

seek to dignify the Senate when they should be "getting down to work." Dudley Field Malone.

Patriotism in the Schools '

The Sons of Veterans are right in insisting

that more attention be devoted to the teaching

of patriotism in the public schools. Their reQuest does not insinuate that teachers have been remiss in imparting this instruction, but the whole system has been negligent in keeping this important topic before the child constantly. National solidarity can be increased through the schools. The schools can teach the children of foreigners such' patriotism that they will know no other flag excepting the American and no other nation but the United States.

National Preparedness The whole country is behind the preparedness program. Manufacturers, business and professional men, farmers and shop workers, appreciating the crisis that confronts our nation, have rallied to the colors and pledged support. The newspapers have adopted a self-imposed censorship regarding troop movement, in order that German agents may not obtain information of value to a country that to all purposes is at war with the United States. This spirit of loyalty was to be expected. No one doubted for a moment that the American people would be true to their flag and to their country and that they would assume without grumbling and protestation the orders of our government. The break with Germany has served as a call to arms. .Members of the National Guard who were mustered out of service when they returned from border duty a few weeks ago, gladly took the federal oath when the president called upon them. and are now mobilizing for transportation

to points that might be open to a hostile attack. Thousands of young men are enlisting daily in the army and navy arid are preparing for whatever eventualities the future may have in store. Patriotic organizations are awakening a new love and veneration for the flag and for the national songs. Women are joining the Red Cross and learning the rudiments of first aid work and hospital service. President Wilson will find a powerful nation back of him if Congress formally declares war. Industrial experts declare that the factories of the United States will be able to supply the equipment necessary for a large army and that the mobilization of our industries will give the United States a much "more efficient organization for supplies than any of the belligerent powers have. The American people are patiently awaiting the result of congressional action. Whatever the outcome may be, so much is sure, the nation will accept the verdict as an expression of its desire, and will stand behind both Congress and the president.

A Prophecy Fulfilled Henry George believed in the single tax theory. More than thirty years ago, he said a time would come in the United States when there would be bread riots in New York unless monopoly was restricted. The Indiana Forum, commenting on this prophecy, says: The high cost of living has been attributed to the war, although it was noticeable long before the war was dreamed of. The increasing supply of gold is another explanation. But that ignores the fact that there is the same trouble in the countries whose gold supply is not increasing, or is actually diminishing. Moreover, even if it were true that the war, the gold supply, or any of the other explanations were correct, the question would still remain unanswered, why the rising prices of foodstuffs have failed to stimulate increased production, as they naturally should have done. . But for high land prices and poor transportation facilities a greater area would undoubtedly have been devoted to food production this year, and an increased food supply would have checked high prices. There would have been no food shortage had Henry George's advice been heeded and the taxing power of the government been used to put an end to land monopoly. There is no use bewailing the failures of the past, however. But it is folly to continue neglecting to apply the remedy that Would have prevented the present deplorable situation. The American people can have no morse enemies than the interests which still try to divert them from taking for public use the rental value of land.
