Lhiprre in March or April ordered the fort nwki of flour that were withheld front deliver Herr last Thursday. or whether he ordered them when he wrote to the .luntnra Mercantile comiMUiy Saturday or Monday I Week ago. II Mr. Dnpree is a good patrio tic citixi'll he will see that by observing the wheatlcss days and by mixing mibstitutes with his wheat flour that forty sacks is more than any man who is only feeding tit' teen persons should have. As a matter of fact by observing the spirit ol the food orders that forty sacks of flour would last fifteen people more than a year. No man. who wants America to win this war. and who. if he is intelligent and not a selfish cad. wants a year's supph of wheat flour mii hand when lv doing BO lie may he denying some soldier hoy I if food. GET THE THRIFT STAMPS. When a community docs weil In one line Of endeavor it is apt to focus all its attention to that one thing, and overlook otlier inert toriotiM activities. Just at present Ontario is inclined to do that with the Red 'loss and forge! f In little Thrift Stamp. All of the war work is important. All of the various efforts mind forward. It is o fact thai nothing matter much unless we twill the war. so all of the efforts must he can nil forward with i will. Ill ,1 lew Weeks there will he alntllcl ,i.ioeri Minn campaign. I'litario will lie leal led mii to do its Hhare in that, and it should, and uodouM will meet the quota. It should do so because there are enough peo- flle lure with the IHOllPV who ran liu the T.ibertv Loan Montis.

I'licle lam ea 1 1 ut 1 1 win, unless some ol the eitixens who have "held-oti," loosen u and show some faith in their government, Of course, if those who have the wealth 'of the nation continue their practice there lis nothing to prevent the confiscation of Wealth. I'uhlic opinion would justify that in many communities now. It is something over which the wealths and the near Wealthy should think.. If they have not been letting their money do its bit, a new tact is certainly advisable. V SENATORIAL CRITICS. Mack in Washington the principal Be tivity seems to he that of the critic. Ilardlv I day passes without the most violent out burst of si athlng denunciation of the lack of edequate plans and lack of co-ordination be tween the various departments conducting I the war. As in the beginning, so the critics con tinue to aim their artillery at Secretary of War Newton Gh Baker. For the time-being at least Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels is gaining a respite while his col league is the target. In all this it must lirst he noted that the: most violent and the most caustic Indict-1 ineiits of the administration officials have been drawn by democrats. Senators Chain berlain and Hitchcock. Similar charges have also heen made by other democrats, both in public and private life. Of course. there are those who declare that this makes the criticism more damning. That Is not, necessarily, the case for tin credence which may be given a critic of the administration is not to be measured hy his political affiliation. A minority party mem Iter may be inspired by as high motives in his criticism as the most exalted adminis tration official in his conduct of office. The whole situation, therefore, must be viewed entirely aside from its political bear ing. Th ntroversy has apparently re solved itself into question of whether ir nut Secretary Maker is riht temperament alb 1m le Seei elan of War. Everyone who has spoken appears to recognise in him i man of ability, bui not the kind of ability re quired for t lie position he holds. There has heen a marked absent f II I'rei iisnh.it 1 1 1 1 between the admiiiistra i mii and the Republican leaders, in spite of th fact that the Republicans have uniform ily sustained the Prcsidenl in a majority of the war measure. While urging the eiim (iiiation of agitation and politics at this time. the administration itseit has seldom .seen in to recognise the fact that others than party followers exist. This fact Was i ailed to tile attention of the public by ex-Sceretar of War l.indlev I.. Oarrisoii. who left the cab lift because he was not in accord with the administration's pre-war policy, The public generally wants to believe that Secretan of War Baker is correct in his statements concerning the adequacy of the prepartions that have been made. The public wants the administration to vindicate itself, th-reloie. in spite of the criticisms of Maker and Hitchcock, the public will wait I'm-further evidence before utterly con demning Becretarj Maker. In the mean time the public hopes that the critics will succeed ill kCCpillg tile depart llli'llt oil its toes to prevent flirt her ill t icislll.
