WASTE IS CRIMINAL.
“To waste now is nothing
short of criminal," Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo says.
The duty of the American
people to economize in con
sumption of food and all other
materials as well as save money
cannot be too often or too
strongly urged upon them. The
duty is so imperative, its ob
servance so vital to our coun
try’s success, that it should be
kept constantly before them.
The proposition is plain and
understandable. AVe have less
ened the productive powers of
the country by taking 2,000,
000 men away from the produc
tive1 forces of the country; in
stead of producers of one kind
or anot her, t he soldiers are con
sumers of the products of the
farms, factories and mines, and
when the munitions they will
expend, and expend against
the enemy, are considered, they
are tremendous consumers of
the manufactured products of
the country.
To this condition of lessened
production ano increased con
sumption of and bv our own
men must be added the extra
ordinary dematid made upon
our allies and to a great extent
their population with food and
other material. I
We must meet the condition,
that confronts us in two ways
—by the strictest economy int
consumption, for every pound,
we refrain from using adds aj
pound to be devoted to the uses
of our army and navy and the
military forces of our allies;
and by speeding up our pro
duction to the limit. The Am
erican people are going to do
all that they know to be neces
sary to win this war—to short
en this war. They have only to(
realize tin* imperative duty of,
economy in saving and they
will economize and save.

A STRANGE FACTOR.
t __
i
Joseph Caillaux, the former
French premier, who is so in
extricahlv mixed up in the ie
cent disclosures of German in
trigue. and who is about to he
placed on trial for treason,
presents one of the strangest
factors in the war situation.
A prominent member of the'
French chamber recently said
of him:
“From every crevice that
opens into the underworld the
same name issues- At the bot
tom of all these pits the same
person. Caillaux, is always to.
he distinguished. Callaux is
the first spark of the fire. . . . j
Tn the e-reat historic menagerie
of distinguished men who for
the pence of the peopl • ought
never to have been at lil-erty,|
Caillaux's cage should be
placed next that of Cardinal del
Ret/., whose libertineage nnd
passion for intrigue have at
any rate given us a masterpiece;
of political psychology
“Fiver since the war Caillaux
has been the real minister of
the'interior nnd foreign minis
ter by proxy, and has contin
ued his prewar poliev. That
is the whole origin, the whole
meaning, the whole mv*terv,
underlying the Duval, Alnie-j
revdn, 1/oyniairo, Malvy, Den
oir, Desouches, Bolo, and other
affairs with which we are pois
oned. What is Caillaux’s ex
act responsibility I can not de
termine. I see clearly the nn
ture of the problem without
knowing in what instances
Caillaux was used by rogues
and haw far he acted for him
self. He financed the Bonet
Rouge and was praised by the
jorunals that are spreading dis
couragement and openly her
alding an agreement with Ger
many.
“As minister of foreign af
fairs by proxy, he is the politi
cian whose return to power
will secure an agreement. What
were the negotiations he un
dertook in Naples, in Rome,
and in Switzerland? How far
is he the patron and inspirer of
those ‘Boles’ who are distrib
uting in France millions of
francs of Germany, money in
tended for propaganda, and
how far is lie in association
with Hearst?
“And yet, the constant pol
icy of agreement with Ger
many, winch before the war
was detestable and since war
was declared would involve an
understanding with the enemy,
was never really desired by the
Radical socialist party. If it
be proved that this policy is
the policy of Cnillaux, the meni
he dragged into it unwittingly,
should be separated from!
him.”
The conviction of Cnillnux
on the charge of treason would
be a matter of exceeding dif
ficulty, it is believed, as his'
mind is perhaps the most subtle
in Europe and he will doubt
less have taken every precau
tion. Yet his activities in Italy
were such that the Italian gov
ernment itself was on the point
of expelling him from that
country

WASHINGTON AND
LINCOLN.
The month of February,
marks the birthday annivers
ary of two great Americans—■
Washington and Lincoln.!
While the manner of observing
these days depends to a great
extent upon local conditions,'
it is nevertheless suggested
that especial significance be at-’
tached to them on this occasion
and that this attention be not
alone confined to a formal pro
grail) commemorative of the
event, but that the month pre
ceding be so used as to give
every child in he Territory an
opportunity to know as much
ns possible about the life work
and ideals of these two men.
We Americans have no oc
casion to set up as our national
heroes either statesmen who
have by intrigue and with ly
ing tongues so maneuvered
that adjoining states and na
tions have become* vassals to
us. or generals who have led
our armies in great wars of
conquest in which the weak
were oppressed and the doc
trine tlint might makes right
set up as our steady beacon
light. Rather do we honor
those men and women who
with high resolve and steady
courage have stood for the
r'vhts of mankind, for the free*
rlom of the oppressed, and for
liberty, equality and justice!
among all peoples throughout
the world The lives of Wash-1
ingon and Lincoln contain
much thht is in harmony with
true American ideals, and that
should be kept before the mind
of each individual during the
period when his ideals are be
ing shaped.

A New York woman, dis
satisfied because her husband]
could not properly provide for
her on his $25 a week salary,
went out and got a job at $3,
500. She must have got it on
her nerve, because now she is
suing for divorce and wants
$50 a month alimony.
