TRAITORS TO OI K DEMOCRACY
The general definition of a
traitor is one "who gives aid and
comlort to the enemy." This is
usjaily applied to direct action, as
in the Oklahoma movement in oi>
position to the draft, or the en
couragement of draft evasions, or
»heu an American citizen reveals
our war pUtns to Germany.
Such acts constitute direct trea
son, but there 's a kind of indi
rect treason, much harder to de
fine anH combat vet often far
more dangerous to our country an<l
the success of the war than direct
'reason. Before the *ur there were
in this country many social po
litical or hum&nitaran movements
on foot, all of which, were RADI
CAL (that is to say. advocates of
CHANGE) in their pr->-rams. such
for example, were the socialists,
!>.e Land Tax reformers. the
Pacifists, nut all of these as
serted faith in the democratic
principle in government and wished
t."» gain their ends by converting
o.Jr democracy. Most of the ad
hereats of these various move
ments have recognized that this
democracy of ours, having entered
ur>on war. must be supported—that
special programs must, for the
moment ,bp subordinated to the
o;'e great object of WINNING THE
WAR But there are some persons
so feeble-minded or so incapable of
grasping the world importance of
this war, that they talk and write
taingj calculated to weaken our
efficiency in war. THESE PEO
PLE ARE TRAITORS TO Ot'R
DEMOCRACY.
The whole matter is summed up
th« Single Tax Journals of Cali
fornia i EVERYMAN, November,
1917): "Wilson's business now
is f win tlie war. and win it
soon, . . . The radical yress should
stoo knocking him and attend to
its own business — which, is
to create th« democracy that the
Allies are to make the world safe
for. The fight war, after it is
on. t* bootless. TO HINDER ITS
QUICK. EFFECTIVE PROSECU
TION IS. OF COURSE, TRAITOR
OUS." 1 •!
But there are other methods
♦ han radical speech which can "hin
der the quick, effective prosecution I
Of tS^ war" Labor organizations,
Wag .ewjagtji iii £ struggle I01"
oetter labor conditions, may see I
in the existence of war oil oppor-1
tun.*v to secure their demands. If
such demands are unusual and if |
they would have been unjustified
had there been no war—if labor '
seeks to take special advantage of |
the existence of war, then such la- j
bor is traitorous. It HINDERS I
the successful prosecution of!
the war. For the most Dart, la- j
bor organizations have not sought
sucl» special advantage but a lew
have don-o so, and. in public eetim
a'ioo they stand {is traitors to our
democracy, I i
Business men—men with capital
—a-p ,not free from the imputation,
of traitorous conduct. That maji
who places his own business in
terests above the interests of
the nation in this war Is traitor
ously minded. If he deliberately
seeks profit at the expense of na
tional efficiency (as in the sale of
undergrade materials to the govern
ment) be should be punished, not
simply as a cheat, but as a trait
or. This is the rare exception. It
is the almost unconscious exalta
tion of his own business interests,
however, that makes the average
business -man dangerously liable
t<> traitorous conduct. There is
no such thing as "business °«
usual" during a war.
Finally, the question of hon
est tax returns and of subscrib
ing to war loans is directly and posi
tively a question of loyalty or
treason. There is mo need to angue
th« point that the man, who con
ceals his resources, or ma&es dls
htnest tax returns is a traitor in
In'ent and deed. What about lend
ing to the government? such
lending nuNiais usually a slight
rifice. But the war can not be
won without sacrifices—aoid gTeat
sacrifices. If a man hag money
which he CAN" lend, and it he does
not lend, he is traitorous, for he
hinders the quick and effective pros
ecution of the war.
Such traitors may indeed never
be brought to punishment. ev«n
though they deserve it as muah, as
'he radical Pacifist who argues
against this war, or covertly- i>e
iittles the honesty of the purposes
of our Allies. BUT THE RADI
CAL WHO SNEERS. AND THE
MAN* WITH MONEY WHO CAN
LEND AND DOES NOT ARE
ALIKE TRAITOROUS TO OUR
COUNTRY. TO OUR FAITH IN
DEMOCRACY, AND TO OUR OB
JECT^ IX THIS WAR. AND WE,
WHO DO MAKE SACRIFICES,
KNOW THEM FOR THE TRAIT
jORS THAT THEY ARE.

WAR-SAVING STAMPS SALES
NOW OVER $.'{,000,000 A DAY
Th<? -vvar-savinfes campaign has
j repched its first $3,000,000 da>*. as
shown by the report of receipts

, ol the savings stamps In the three

I were $2,295,000, $2,970,000 and
l$3.049,000.
Three millions a. day from the
I thrift stamps provides the Trea^
[sury with about one-tenth of the
[ et'tire amount now being expended

$3,000,000 is only 3 cents a day
! So* every man, woman and child in
| the country .the entire cost of the

The National AVar-S'^vings Com
mittee .delegated by the Treasury
to enlist 100,000,000 investors in
thp "baby bonds" anticipates soovn
reaching the $6,000,000 a day
rate necessary to place the $2.

This will be 6 cents a day Per

Make Oleo From Whale Fat
A committee of experts appointed 1
by the Norwegian government to en
deavor to Cud a method of obtaining
edible fats and oils from whale blub
ber and fish reports that Its experi
ments have been successful. Whale
fat with a mixture of other fats can
also, it is believed, be used for ranklr;
margarine. Norway has already two
whale oil refineries, and the state lias
begun negotiations for the purchase of ,

Many Will Claim Spltzbergen.
More than 300 years ago. In 1614,
James I of England. formally claimed
Spltzbergen. The Muscovy company
a British concern, was ordered "to up
hold the king's right to Spltzhergeu"
by an order In council. That claim
was allowed to lapse In the same man
ner In which the Russian claim lapsed,
the Britons Interested In the country
say.
With the end of the war old data
will be dug up, with records of com
paratively receut times, to bolster the
contentions of the various claimants
as Spltzbergen Is sure to occupy n
prominent place In north European af
fairs. Uncle Sara Is happily out of the
matter because of the sale by the Arc
tic Coal company, although Judg
Ing by precedent It never was likely
that this country would go so far as
to desire to exercise suzerainty over
the laud. Such a course was urged
In America la 1912 and 1913.
The German "Officers' Mess."
Hugh Gibson, who was secretary tc
the American legation In Belgium when
the war broke out. can pack wit, hu
mor and Irony into a single paragraph
and still keep It short. He visited a
Belgian house tlmt some German offl
cers had occupied and later evacuated
when their army retired. "Over the
door," he writes, "was the inscription
'Officers' Mess.' It was certainly the
most complete mess that I ever saw,
Until then I had regarded the expres
sion. 'An officer and a gentleman," as
redundant. I no longer think so."—
Youth's Companion.
Brought War Into Home.
The beginning of hostilities between
Italy and Austria was the cause of sim
ilar activity In the household of An
thony Sokellc. says his wife, formerly
Baroness Blanoa Alessl, in her divorce
complaint, filed at New York.
"He is a Croatian," she alleges
"and I am an Italian baroness. H«
has been a raving maniac since out
respective countries got Into war. I'm
through."

A Bit Of Advice
First-— Don't Delay. SocuihI—DoH,1
Experiment.
If you suffer from! backache;
headaches or dizzy spells; II you
rogt poorly and are languid in. the
morning; if the kidney secretions
are irrregular and unnatural in ap
nearance, do not delay. In such
cases the kidneys often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble—they
are recommended by thousands.
Read the following interesting
statement.
Mrs. M. E- Gagen, 1013-A Flori
da St., San Francisco, CaJ., says:
i "I had dropsy and other kidney
trouble and was miserable. My
back couldn't have given me any
mere misery if I hadj broken it. My
kidneys were weak and my feet,
ankles and hands became swollen,
as a result. I felt bo miserable,
run down and depressed I was
discouraged. I could hardly bend
over because my back hurt me so
much. Doan's soon strengthened
and regulated my kidneys. He
swelling went away and I was
again well and had all my former
strength."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simp-ly ask for a kidney remedy—
get. Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Oageu had. Foster-MU
