"America For Americans'
FOOD WINS THE WAR
DON'T WASTE IT
SIGNS OF WEAKENING
The kaiser must be wearing his
crown more uneasily than ever
s-'nce his repeated attempts to con
clude a peace have failed.
Only desperation could have led
tira to believe that Russia could
induct t'ae Allies to enter into a
oeace discussion. The plan was not
feasible and was made after re
peated Btatement by the Allies that
ceace will come when Germany is
defeated and has so announced.
President Wilson has expresed th
All'ed peace ideal when he said
tna* peace will be made with, the
German people, and not with the
German emperor.
That means 'hat peace-time will
be at hand when the kaiser is
ruined and wnen the war-mad Hun
ha., thrown off the incubus of mili
tarism and awakened into the Teu
ton who will settle down into a new
world, working to repair the dam
age of war and to forget the sor
rows and despair that the Prusian
idea, gone insane, inflicted upon hu
uih. fty.—Tacoma News.
WE ARE (JOINT. SOMEWHERE
Steaking of the eight hour law
which went into effect yesterday—
the ridiculous side of which we
h*YQ shown—we may add that its
absurdity is magnified with its
operation. Already in our little
town—in one line of business at
least the price of service hag gone
up as much a twenty-five per cent,
tho direct effect of the application
o' the law, with no possible chance
of avoiding the increase.
For the government to control
tho price of ceal, flour, hours of
labor or anything else, for that
matter, when there is a scarcity of
tie commodity, Js to our mind the
limit of foolishness. There can be
no particular good derived from a
restricted price of coal, or restrict
ed hours of labor when there isn't
enough to go round. If we had
ecal in abundance and a crowded
supply of labor, the restriction of
the price of coal or the shortening
of the hours of labor yould help,
but when the reverse exists, we
fail to see who is the gainer. As
a matter of fact we are all losers.
If here is a shortage of coal, by
holding the price down, we pre
vtut an increase in the supply. If
w* are short of labor and we dimin
ish the hours of labor ye simply
made a bad situation wore.
We believe in an eight hour law,
but that law must be such that it
can be stretched to fit all cases, in
thia case the law fits no place. Evi
dently, the engineer of that law
must have had a grudge against
himself, or against us. Anyhovr if
tast law is found to be constitution
al and is eitforced, we shall soon be [
