CLEANING-UP TIME.
The subject may seem to have been
explained and commented u,pon tq tho
piunching and tho news, nppnrontly
authentic, is that there is an element
of the Germans who are getting tired
of von Hindcnburg. In the end they
wi!' find that the army has begh bopi-
mcrpd to 0 greater extonj; than the
objectives are worth, and along about
that period it will be the allies' turn.
Still, the battling of the pnst few
days has not been altogether defens
ive. The Australians have shown that
they, too, know something of the busi
ness , qf pushing forward. Their
shattered antagonists know something
about the Australians as 'well. The
Americans are also doing 'something
more thnn waiting on Jhe firing line.

a program Is now on in La Granclo.
It is at this time moro essential
tbni. ever that all prcautions be tak

ing up around all promises, of abode.
Science and good sense tenches that
this is one of the safeguards against
the spread of disease and infections
of ncnrly all kinds. .The very highest
authority on the subject says that tu

usually brought about Jryirt, and
filth. ; . :'
v Another thing which makes the mat
ter of more importance over tho whole
country now is the fact that the Uni
ted States is depleted to a very lnrge
extent of Its medical and nursing

whilo the hospital attaches and doc

One of the wnys to keep the home

when "the boys come home" is' to see
that things are kept neat and clean,
not for n week or a few days' poriodi

It would seem that the known bene

many times .and tha truth of
becomes, more apparent' every
year you live. R(ght npw we hear
complaint from many Industries
that labor hire It In Its clutches.;
Very true In many "Instances, but'
trace back history and yqu do not
have to go many yours since labor
wan lu the clutches of pretty barah
masters, i They , sowed the ' wind
nnd are nrfw reaping tlio whirlwind.
T)ie pendulum never swIngB evonly.
It Is nlways too far on one side
or on the othor. .
Wo believe right now labor
should stand s to a , man for gov
ernment Industries to help wltt tho
war. And for that reason wo hold
the boliof that'-the government
should tnko over, or rather set tlio
prices on products produced to a
degroo- that- labor will realize , it
Is only doing Its pnrt when a
normal wogo Is- fixed in proportion
to the normal profits of tho In
dustry when'lubor Is employed.
Argument ' that nion should not
demand high wages . when they
know their labor Is producing n
product that Is mulling enormous
is to niguo
The selfish
ness which Is la be found In tho
breast of ovory human being cannot
bo eradicated by soft words.
Thus when " shipyards under
private ownership are turning a
product showing enormous earnings
It Is. not unreasonable, to expect
tha.t "labor employed in that pro
duct will ask for a share of those
profits. Had the profit sharing
plaus, now in forco by . soniq. con
corns boon ndoptod years ago It Is
doubtful If unrest would be found
on every hand. Had tho thought
fulness pf labor's welfare been
practiced for a half c.ontury In
stead of attempting to Jump into it
suddenly like a frog Jumping Into
a pond there nilght bo a 'different
feeling in the hearts of ninny
laborers. 4
But the fact remains that we arc
not goln to produce what we
should to win this war until labor
realizes it in the main spring of
tho big machine. When all labor.
comes to the conclusion that It Is
their fight as much as It is the steel
trust's fight to wit) the war In
order to havo a .safe United States
to live in, then we will soo things
hum. In order to do this, It seems
to 11s, that the government must
conduct n campaign of education
