SUCCESS OF LIBERTY LOAN.
Announcements that the first call of
the government for war funds, other
wise known as the Liberty loan has
met with complete success and the
full Issue of bonds, amounting to two
billion dollars, has been oversub- ]
scribed by many millions is gratify
ing.
Also it is a most decided rebuke to
to the aggregation of calamitous
minded individuals who (have been
loudly declaiming that the good red'
blood of our ancestors no longer
courses in the veins of the present
generation of Americans.
It is quite true that the attitude of
the people toward Mexico and the
ruthless destruction of American lives
and property in that country appar
ently endorsed the view that the Am
ericans of today are somewhat defi
cient in the patriotic attributes- of their
sires. The things that were done to
us in Mexico, the Insults, the injuries
and humiliations that were heaped1
upon us for months and years with- ;
out offending our Individual and na
tional dignity to the degree that we
felt called upon to demand what would
obviously have been a just reparation,,
assuredly lent an aspect of truth to
the allegation that the spirit of our
forbears had departed from us.
Rut, the ready response of the na
tion to the call of duty In the present
trouble Is ample indication that the
spirit of the people, although -teiii
tered with a fuller understanding of
war and Its awful consequences than
ever before Is not less patriotic than
of old; Is still Imbued with that love
of country which led the fathers of
the nation forth to battle for justice
and the right
Also it Is convincing evidence that
the people, despite their evident dis
inclination toward entering the Euro
pean struggle, are firmly behind the
president and may be depended upon,
now that the die is cast, to carry The
war to a decisive conclusion, regard
less of the cost or the hardships It
will entail.
The people were admittedly a little
alow In responding to the call for war
funds but this fact can hardly be
construed as indicating a lack of pa
triotic feeling In view of the Immense
oversubscription. The truth of the
matter Is that the majority of people
failed to understand the situation or
just what the government was de
manding of them. In a way it was a
most lamentable error that the gov
ernment announced the Liberty loan
to the public long before definite de
taile were available concerning the
maturity of the bonds or their de
-nnluaHma The failure to acquaint
the public In this respect not only
jeopardized the success of the loan
but was also the underlying reason
why the subscriptions lagged until
the eleventh hour.
But, when the loan and the condi
tions under which it was asked were
made plain to the public the response
j was all that the most sanguine of ad
ministration officials expected and In
dicated conclusively that the people
have made up their minds that the
United States has entered the war to
stay until Germany shall have been
defeated and that there must be no
stinting of national resources of any
kind to bring about the end of auto
cracy.
OUR FOOD WASTE.
■ Secretary Houston's estimate that
$700,000,000 a year is wasted in Am
erican kitchens is not beyond belief
even though the sum strikes one at
first as appalling. In • country.with
a population of 100,000,000 the indivi
dual must take care not to waste his
share of that sum and may easily
waste It without being aware that he
wastes.
While it has frequently been said
that the well-to-do American is re
sposible for our food waste, the state
ment Is not atlogether true. The re
cent investigation of family expense
accounts made by the New York
board of health showed that the poor
make their food budgets extravagantly.
In Chicago Jane Addams and her Hull
house people made the same discovery
nnd tried to correct it.
The trouble in this regard with the
jelty poor Is that they are largely of
foreign origin and have never learned
how to buy In American markets.
Education will accomplish much in
this field, for the people are willing
enough to save and were frugal In
their household management In the old
country. What can be done with the
willfully wasteful American is an
other matter. In Europe war Is teach
ing everybody how to save.—Ex.

We face great problems. We have

War loan of seven billion dollxrs We
are a’jo.'t to send great n.rnex to
Europe and soon will undertake f ie
constru'd ion of thousands of ships
wherewith to break the efficiency
of the submarine blockade. Are not
these projects sufficiently exicting to
Impose a halt upon the purpose to
give an official name to that great
mountain in the state of Washington
which so long has divided the people
of the northwest into two bitterly op
posing camps?
The United States geographic board
is to determine whether or not the
| great mountain shall bear the name
iff. Rainier. The problem is one . that
stumped the legislature of the state
itself, which withdrew the name of
Rainier "until a substitute is given by
the United States geographic board,
.vhosc decision it Is understood will be
final.” '
Far be It from us. detached at a
safe distance, to venture heedlessly
upon this controversy. The sugges
tion we hesitatingly propose is In the
interests of peace. If proud Seattle
•id her adherents threaten secession
if the mpvmtain is named Tacoma, and
if the high spirited people of Tacoma
i threaten withdrawal from the union
if the mountain la named Rainier,
why not happily solve the dispute by
giving the vexed peak the illustrious
name of I-os Angeles? That would
confer a distinction even upon Wash
ington’s greatest glory. Tacoma and
Seattle there after would live in hap
piness and peace. Mount I-os An- j
geles would be a name worth while.

RUNNING A DAILY NEWSPAPER.
The Grays Harbor Wsahingtonian
notes the demise of a daily contem
porary, and suggests that it should
be remembered that it takes money
to run a dally paper. Commenting, it
concludes:
"To show how foolish It is to say,
or think, a man can come into this
field with limited capital and snuff
out a paper that has been published
in this town for more than twenty
six years, we are going to take the
people Into our confidence to the ex
tent of divulging the fact that last
year it cost $36,000 to produce the
Washingtonian, an average of $10<) a
day, and this Included Mondays upon
which no paper was published, 'three
fourths of this money was spent In
Hoquiam.
"Do the people of Hoquiam put up
this $36,000 a year to have a good
Associated Press newspaper publish
ed in their midst? They do not. But
they put up about half of that amount,
which we consider is doing very well
for them. The other half of the money
necessary to give Hoquiam such a
newspaper .as the Washingtonian
comes from outside sources and to
that extent this struggling community,
of which we all should be so croud,
is an object of charitly, and h k-ne
fleiary of New York, Seattle, Detroit,
Aherdee 1 and other cities which help
us out.’’
