Sacred Causej OF THREE BIG HURLERS SIX (Continued from page four.) I mm ii -I I sinciing me amount of American mon ev going into new domestic enterprises. For a period at least, many extension!, improvements and enlargements will have to lie postponed. A few year ago our rnilronds were accustomed to ab sorb about a billion dollars annually and hundred)! of millions at the same time went into all kinds of industry. Such investments will be largely cur tailed until the war is over, when thrv will again be taken up. There has been considerable uneasiness, perhaps more than necessary, over the government tax proposals, Both the excessive cor poration and income tax proposals ex cited grave concern lest they intimi date capital and discourage new enter prise. There is much difference of opin ion as to what proportion of the cost of the war should be born by taxation and what by bonds. !So far as taxation goes, the object hould be to raise as large a sum by taxes as feasible and consistent with an equitable distribu tion upon all classes; the higher rates of course falling upon those best able to bear them. At the same ime, seri ous golf injury would be inflicted if the rated were carried so high us to dry up the springs of capital and im pair home enterprise. This is a prob lem which congress is endeavoring to solve; and the administration can no doubt be safely depended upon to han dle the expected bond and note issues with as little public inconvenience as possible. One decidedly encouraging feature waj the report that the inter state commerce commission would 4iant the railroads their requests for an advance in rates to compensate for recent increases in expenses. .

During Baby Week a community asks itself now the youngest citizens are be ing protected and cared for. nnd Biihv !;. ouuuiu maris a trcsn start tnwnn meeting their varied needs. Of course community can protect its little chil- dron only as jt protects the homo in which they live and so the work during Bnby Week and afterwards may well consider three things: Are we safeguarding the life and health of mothors!

Its probable influence upon our fu-, government will ue all power avail ture can only be equalled by the Am-' able to prevent undue advances. At srican revolution ami the V'ivil war, ! the same time, these transactions will and in many respects it will aurpass! cause a wide shifting of investments; uotn. iieyund question this great de- j preventing any lurtlier sales of foreign rision has raised us immensely in the j holdings on this side, and materially re- re.-ipect ot ail nations antl onr prestige and power have been correspondingly elevated. Henceforth we will occupy a position of prominent leadership in the family of nations, so that our future for weal or for woe will largely depend tipon the spirit in which we cultivate ud maintain those new relations. If they are exercised with ideas of jus tice, tolerance and fair dealing our ieaceful advancement is secure. If, on the other hand, we indulge narrow minded, ultra-selfish ambitions or fall into intolerant and bombastic, policies, therefore, assiduously keep in mind that? the future of democracy depends, not iijion tho state, but upon the indi vidual who must first himself exem plify the spirit and the policies that he wishes his country to adopt. There is much complaiut in all di rections about high prices, and indica tions already point to lessened con sumption. Food is exceedingly high, mid unless relief is found some sort of government food control may be ex peeled as a war measure. The labor Bitiiatiou also promises to becomo more Hcute. Scarcity i already pronounced, nnd will bo more so when a bulf to who million men are drawn into the ar my. Not less than three men are requir ed at home to support those in the field, so that the labor situation calls for prompt and intelligent considera t ion. There are some industries from which no men should be withdrawn into the army; their services being much more valuable to, the country in their present occupations. President Wilson wisely called attention of the nation to tho cultivation of economy by the public. 'Extravagance should be discouraged in all quarters, and unnec essary labor should be released for Jnore necessary purposes. Not only should economy be enforced, but pro duct ion should be ' increased by every pomible means. (Some classes of labor may be asked to do their share by mod crating or suspending during the war restrictions which have tended to in crease the cost of commodities, espe cially in industries where war profits mid war wages have aggravated in 1'lut binary tendencies- Some means will have to be found for overcdmiirg scarc ity. There is positively no other way than by enlarging individual output; and patriotism ami self interest should prompt such exertions, without which till higher prices will have to bo en dured. We tire in tho whirl of war in flation and nothing can check it but wise economy and harder work. Slack ers, wasters and prodigals in these times help the enemy and injure their country as well as themselves. I believe that the official announce ment of the German government that no U-boat is in our waters is correct, s I do not think that Germany is like ly to send submarines over here at pres ent at least; nor to inspire or order German reserves in South America to organize and attack any portion of our country. Our government is truly n people's government; of the people. by the people, for the people; where the humblest born citizen is eligible to The Other FeDows Did a Stunt of Romping Round the Diamond By H.

There fore, in time the German people will realize these facts which are likely to Mir up revolutionary feeling among the masses, Wo all have a high opinion of the Germans.

All this reacts disastrously on the children, who pay for tho lack of a strong, happy mother in many ways, sometimes with their own lives, sometimes with unnecessary illnesses, sometimes with constitutions permanently weakened past upbuilding Personally, I believe that nmnv moth ers ao not understand their own needs. They do not realize how important good maternity euro is both to themselves and to the-ir babies. If Ruby Week could help mothers to see more' clearly how much of their illness and danger is pre ventable, it would mark a long step to ward making available to all tho means of preventing unnecessary illness and death from maternal causes. At present many expectant mothers make no attempt to secure skilled super vision throughout the months before their babies are born. They do not in sist on hospital care or trained attend ance in their homes during confinement. And after-enre nnd a period of rest un til strength has returned are essentials absolutely unknown in many homes.

Simple and popular state ments of the daily care which on ex pectant mother should have nnd the Kimi or cure a well baby should have are contained in two bulletins of the t iiiiitren's tturenu and in various short er pamphlets which can also be secured uy any mother without cost. During Bnby Week, copies of such literature can be placed in the hands of many mothers, and wide publicity can be giv en to the value of such information in preventing illness. Of course mothers mnv understand perfectly what they need in the way of food and clothing and test, and they may realize that they should have skill ed supervision and trained attendance, but they may be quite unable to obtain these things. Baby Week can not stop with a campaign of publicity about the mothers' needs.. It must aiso develop, or inaugurate, community work by which the essentials of proper care are made available to every mother. Visit ing nurses, prenatal clinics, maternity hospitals, and infaut welfare station's have tiroved their value in many cities. I doubt if there is a single community in the country whether a congested city, a small town, or a scattered rural Boxing In Portland Portland, Or., 'April 20.
