PREPAREDNESS FOR PEACE.
America isn't really prepared for ex
istence, let alone for war!
Our haphazard industries are about
as well 00-ordained us a hunch of
l»>vs playing duck on the rock in a va
cant lot.
That's the reason for the "census of
Industry" now under wav, by request
of the president and under .the aus
pices of the committee on industrial
preparedness of the naval advisory
board.
We haven't any special reason to
sneer at the inefficiency of our army
bureaucracy, for this inefficiency in
no more marked than that < f the na
tion tit large in its daily life.
We must mcholi7.o the nation the
entire hundred million before we can
hope to cope with any European pow
er either in war or peace; for although
we admit that Europe is war-mu i w e
must not overlook the war-method in
her war-tna ipess.
There an no "false starts" in Ger- i
many today; every step is forward if ]
possible or backward If necessary
put never sidewise.
About two moves out of every three
we make in these United States ar«
useless, or unnecessary, or harmful j
If you don't believe It. ask any candid i
factory executive he’ll tell you there's j
a whole lot of waste energy in this j
land, from the hand that rocks the I
rradle to the hand that signs the
attack*.
And when American Industry is or
if a nixed and run on an effluent basis,
let's keep It that wa> as it will be
kept.
If we can prepare the United states
tc support a war, we can prepare rt
not to support poverty, and wage
slavery, and injustice.
If we "organise” for the rood «*f the
nation, we can "organize" for the good
of the oppulation!

THE DIGNITY OF LAEOR.
The New York World delivers itself of a remarkable
tirade against, organized labor. The F'IRST MONDAY
IN HhPTFIMBER, says the World (evening edition) is the
da, v hen labor asserts its dignity; hut the FIRST OF" MAY
b the day it “chooses to yoice its discontent.”
It i more dignified, then, in the opinion of the once
excellent New York World, to put on glad rags and parade
down the main . treet than it is to demand a just and larger
.share of the country’s prosperity!
It is dignified to march in line to show your power
and numbers—- but it is not dignified to USE the power in
May that you exhibited in September!
“Orderly demonstration does no harm,” says the
World. That’s exactly it—and that’s where the World
let the cat out of its treasury.
“Orderly demonstrations” (on the first Monday in
September) “does no hargi” to the vested interests that
the World has come to love!
WHEN MONEY IS A DANGER.
Almost every cherished idoj of life has been destroyed
by modern sanitary science.
The swapping of chewing gum in early life, the pro
hibition of kissing during any stage of our existence, the
dangerous dust from the family skeleton, are some of the
limitations put upon us if we wish to live.
To cap the climax we are told that money is a most
dangerous thing and that we should be very careful of its
bad influences, and that when we are exposed to it in any
“amount” we should insist uponDts sanitary purity before
accepting it.
“There is many a true word spoken in jest,” and
therefore the public’s attention should be called to the
very common habit of placing money in the mouth.
Money may come from the most dangerous places,
1 roiri pest holes, from a mouth in which a ravaging disease
has lately left its sores, from anywhere.
I.el us impress it on your mind that such habits are a
positive danger to health and life.
WHEN AN EDITOR IS A SPRING FEVER VICTIM
HE MAY ALWAYS DO THIS.
Spring fever, with its lassitude and somnolence, at
tacks even an editor.
Ideas do not flow so readily when the scent of fresh
turned earth filters down over the house-tops of the city,
and sifts into the editorial cubby-hole.
So what is more natural than a determination to occu
py this space today with an uplifting thought to encourage
ambition and perseverance and point out the conclusive
evidence of reward?
But when an editor is spring-feverish
“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her
ways, and be wise; .
“Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
“Providcth her meat in the summer, and gather!
eth her food in the harvest.”
Most of us, however, have not profited bv the example
of th‘* industrious ant, hensc the necessity for irksome labor
whilst the robin calls and the inviting breath of spring
steals through our open windows.
