MISSION WORK
"We do not send men to fight in the lamentable quarrel on
e other side of the world, but from our people we send' aid
the sufferers by that cruel convulsion. The second hospital
unit, numbering 32 surgeons and 75 nurses organized and
(nipped at Harvard, has sailed for employment there. A
•mpanv ot 25 Columbia students went by the same steamer to
igage in sanitary and relief work.
The response of our great neutral nation to the demand of
le necessities of the people involved in bloody quarrel is
•ompt and exemplary; it marks the ideal for which we stand,
his is the ideal of international peace. When our neighbors
II to killing and wounding each other because of political
ifferences, we deprecate their conduct; but so far as is prac
cable, we hasten to aid in taking care of the poor people
iffering by this mistaken course.
It is a work of mercy, of true philanthropy; and it serves
» establish the attitude of the people of the United States in
te international turmoil. Millions of money have been given,
housands of our men and women have come to stand in the
reach.
Could we expect anything like this from the other side?

AVOID STRIKES
Those repeated Chicago strikes are pitiable, for they show
lat the men who need work do not comprehend the real
tuation.
There has been a feverish revival of business in certain
irections, due to the demand for food and war material abroad,
ut the general business of the country has not revived. The
ery fact that interviews are daily published of a great revival
i proof that there is not ,because if there was people would
iel it and there would be no occasion for advertising it. Certain
juses produce certain effects. We have been receiving from
broad narly one million immigrants a year for several years.
That the country has been able to make places for them
t a world wonder.
This has been possible because we have been able to send
way the surplus products of farm and factory and the building
p of the cities has gone steadily on.
Now, through hostile legislation, a groat many factories
ave been closed down and men by thousands turned adrift,
nd on the sea the shipping has been reduced more than half
,nd the rates of freight largely increased.
The uncertainty of what is going to happen a week or a
nonth from now, makes men who have surplus money, lock it
ip, and no new enterprises are on foot. Workingmen and laboft
mions should realize this situation and when men have employ
nent, every effort should be made to keep them employed.
Then certain facts about the war should be kept in mind.
»Ve read what is being done on the east front, the west front, in
'/he south where the armies of Austria and Italy are contending
ind where the guns of the allies are thundering at the
ipproaches to Constantinople; but we do not know what the
iituation is among the people of thew arring countries. There
s a limit to the endurance of poor human nature. Men and
ivomen can bear only so much strain. It is not impossible that
he nerves of the nations may break down and such a clamor
!or peace be raised that the rulers who are pushing on this war
>n all sides may be obliged to heed it. What effect would a
mdden peace have? What would be the effect upon our own
people who are obliged to work for wages in order to live?*
With peaec and a full resumption of commerce, the overthrown
and the lost, the homeless and the poor would flood our shores
and work for whatever they could get. At the same time Un
people left behind would be too poor to purchase our products.
Would we not be liable to be in a worse state tha iould be a
state of war?
Working people who have places to work should heed
these sinister omens and those who direct labor unions should
determine that no possible strike should be ordered unless
conditions became absolutely intolerable.—Ex.

HE LED IN PRAYER
An old railroad man was converted as the story goes, and
was asked to lead in prayer. Here is the way he worked it: “Oh
Lord, now that I have flagged Thee, lift my feet off the rough
road of life and plant them safely on the deck of the train of
Balvation. Let me use the safety lamp known as prudence,
make all couplings in the train with the strong link of Thy
love. And, Heavenly Father, keep all switches closed that lead
off the sidings, especially those with a blind end. Oh, Lord,
if it be Thy pleasure, have every semaphore blocked along the
line show the white line of hope that I may make the run of
life without stopping. And, Lord give us the ten command
ments as a schedule time and when my train shall have pulled
into the great dark station of Death, may Thou, the Superin
tendent of the Universe, say with a smile, ‘Well done, thou
good and' faithful servant; come up and sign the pay roll and
receive your check for eternal happiness.”—Ex.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Just 80 years ago the Liberty Bell, now on its way to the
Panama-Pacific Exposition, was tolled' for the last time. While
it was proclaiming the country’s sorrow over the death of Chief
Justice Marshall, it cracked. Marshall was the last living
signer of the Declaration of Independence. Fifty-nine years
before the day of its last tolling it had rung out the glad news
that the Declaration had' been signed. An attempt was made
to ring it on Washington’s birthday, 1843, but its resonance
and spirit had departed. Philadelphia even laughed at the
sacred relic’s feeble attempt.
Lansing is beginning to make a noise like a candidate for
the presidency in 1920, or possibly before.
•John I) .Rockefeller was horn 76 years ago today. He is
still a fairly strong man, able to attend' to many business affairs
and his golf. Without the golf he probably would have been
a dead man years ago. Those who don’t like the old gentleman
have the links to blame for his presence in our midst. Other
men with grouches and pesticating stomachs may read the
moral.
From varions cities comes the news of idle husbands being
sent to work houses, the country evidently having awakened to
the duty of making men with families get down to business.
The rule is that if dad won’t keep his nose to the grindstone
he must go to the stone pile.
“The bride entered the room on the arm of her father
gowned in a beautiful bridal costume of blue silk, with a
corsage bouquet of roses and a tulle veil fastened with orange
blossoms,” says a society item. The old man surely was all
lit up.
Mr. Bryan is said to be aging very rapidly. His hair has
grown white and wrinkles are lining his face. His friends
attribute it to the distress he felt through the uncertain weeks
preceding his resignation from the cabinet.
It will stretch the credulity of those who are buying auto
mobile tires to accept the excuses of the United States Rubber
Company for passing its dividend.
The shortage of ammunition in Russia must be making the
poor fellows at the front regret all those bombs they used to
waste so lavishly on the Czar.—Boston Transcript.

I PRINTING
1111111 *
jB Quality in printed matter is easily detected.
■ It shows at first glance. Any novice can see the
|p difference between a piece of printing that is
B carelessly executed on cheap stock and a job
m that is accurately planned, neatly arranged, and
■ well printed on a good grade of paper. The cost
B of printed matter that shows its quality need
B not be excessive. If you place your order with a
H firm that has the equipment and skilled help
B needed to turn out high grade work neatly, you
B will not pay more for good printing than you
B would for inferior printing produced by a
B novice in a poorly equipped shop.
B| The Times job department has turned out
B| printing that shows the high quality and
Bf attractive appearance so prized by progressive
jB business men. We are painstaking and lend
B every effort toward giving the customer the
B best for the money.
