A LESSON FOR Ono nf trip f.nfrnr,r,iricr fpflr.lU'PS nf thp ni'Psent WOl'ld- conflict, in its way quite as preparedness, has been and , . . . .i action between tne various lorces mar. maKe up unusa national life, says the Minneapolis Farm, Stock & Home. There has been no dearth of men, nor of willingness to sacrifice for one's country. Rather what appears to be the matter, judged from this distance, is a class loyalty to one's trade or business superior to that given to the state. So we find Lloyd-George, after eighteen months of war, pleading for more munitions. Strikes for higher wages occur. It is broadly hinted that graft similar to that indulged in by our own Civil War contractors, is not wholly' unknown. Selfishness tinges the whole atmosphere of British internal politics. This is personal liberty gone mad. When everybody is anxious to squeeze a bit of extra profit out of the peril ous position in which the empire finds itself placed, the empire itself is in grave danger, and far more so from within than from withoiU. Such a situation did not arise over night. It is the natural attitude of masses of men trained to class con- ' sciousness by interested and selfish leaders who present to them the plea that they are the underlings the down trodden, and that they must "burst the shackles" that bind them. For the most part such arguments are rot! There never has been a time since history began when labor had as little to complain of and as much to be thank ful for as it has right now. It is better housed, better clothed, better fed than ever before. It is true that labor is not getting the full reward of its toil. But what the agitators do. not let the workingmen see is that the methods adopted to force higher wages are self-destruc- ' tive. Limit a man's production per day to a set number of pieces and you destroy efficiency, progress, the very 1 . . " . i . i . ml. . !

Are the boys coming up as hired; men under such influences better or worse than the kindj .-4. noi.r n Vim-oV .'insvvpv is needed. I Develop sloth in a man and you get what goes with it indifference to the higher ideals, squalid living, drunken ness, a chronic state of anarchistic poverty. This is what the false teachings of blatherskite class leaders have done f or and to the workingman of England; this is what similar teaching is doing to the workingman of America. It is high time that we take home to ourselves the bit ter lesson of British class pettiness, and eject it from our national life wherever it has found a foothold. It is far more important that we all rise together than that one group rises above the rest. It will avail us little to set our class above our fellows if while doing so the national life that gives us being and that guards us falls into decay.

Citizenship that lies down, content to let itself be robbed, abused, made a byword of, is bad citizenship. I prefer the company of the man who does the robbing and abusing, any day, to that of the fellow who tamely submits to it. The crooked politician wants no softer snap than non-resistance in the citizen." These vigorous remarks do not apply to New York alone. They apply with equal force to all sections of our blessed country. If there is anything that the common citizen knows nothing whatever about it is public affairs. The average free and independent American citizen gen erally manages to know something about his own private business, and a good deal about his neighbor's business, but that which is the most vital business of both public business gives him the least concern. The old adage "what is everybody's business is no body's business" finds striking exemplification in the at titude of the average citizen toward public business. Carranza's soldiers have just executed Villa's chief executor. We trust that they performed the job in a way to satisfy his artistic taste and skill in the profession of murdering.
