FASTI NC? IN A CAVE
Ono of tho i.i. : t diverting contrasts
in civilized life 1H found in tho caso '
of tito Now York mau who forsook
tho nix-nilll.'oned metropolis to fast
for forty days in a cavo in one of thc
city park? Ile seemed to enjoy both 1
his cave and in's hunger, and was
much annoyed when the police drag-1
ged him out of his luir and sent him
back to hit) steamheated flat.
Plenty of men have fasted for|
forty duys, and done it in caves and
in deserts for that matter. Most of
tho fastcrn in olden times did it for
righteousness' Hake. Nowadays tho
purpose ls uiiually the cure of uooie
physical ailment. Tho only visions
tito subject sees are visions O? beef-*'
bleaks and mince pies, and lils pray
ers are mostly directed to meddling
friends; who try to tempt him from
the straight path of starvation. I
Few of these extreme diet cranks
carry out their brave plan in caves,
particularly in cold weathei It's
well known that if a man is deter-1
mined to fast, he can stick it out
longer at homo, in a wann bed. Tho
cold make-* a man hungry; and if he
exercises to warm up, tho exorcise
makes him hungry. In fact, cvPty-]
thing works together to keep a man '
from enjoying a good fast.
\Yi;lph is probably as It should bo.
Maybe nature knows a few things,*
niter ?ill. And nearly all the doctors
agree with nature in prescribing
food for a hungry man. j
\Tndoubtedly some caner! of Indigos- j
lion have been cured Ky fasting for
a prolonged period. But that doesn't
provo much except the enormous
vitality of some dyspeptics. A little'
rational attention to diet will do more !
good than all the starvation caves in
the world.
ENFORCING OCR NEUTRALITY
LAWS
It has taken tho government moro'
than a year to run down the con
spiracy against our neutrality laws 1
through which the German war fleet
that operated for a while in tho
waten; of this hemisphere was unlaw
fully coaled and provisioned from
American porto. But now, apparently,
the conspirators have heerivdeflhitel7 j
rounded up.
In the trial now proceeding in tho/
federal court in New York, against'
representatives, of.'"Ahe Hamburg-';
American line, tho accused men have'!
admitted fitting out a dozen or more
vessels in various Atlantic and Gul Ci
ports and sending thom, with false'
clearance papers, to supply the Ger-,
man sea raiders in tho Atlantic. They
admit that they ^UT so'ln obedience

HaMiburg, and that tho cost was horno '
by funds resolved from Ute Gorman.'

There arc now under indictment at
San Francisco three shipping Arms*
und four individual shippers accused |
of rimi! ir offenses in connection
with the op?rations.'of German war-1
ships tn southern Pacific waters in |
tho summer of 1914.
Tho men on trial ia New York plead
that they had no Intent to Injure the
United (States by their Illegal opera
tions and falso manifests, but that,
their only purpose was to de alvo j
the enemies bf Germany. H ro;_at?? |

find this a valid excuse.
It is doubtless itrue that tbs United '
States has received no ranter lui harm,
from their operations. But for
belligerent to make any neutral ter-1
ritory a baso; of supply for naval op
erations against its enemy ls to com
mit, an offense agaio-.t y. Inter national ;
law and against the honor ot the na
tion concerned-not to mention ?he

ourselves on a par with Chins,'so far

The question at lssuo In this case, I
nevcrtheloss, is academic and techni
cal. There are other conspiracies ber]

thorities, Involving tar graver of

HONEST! IN ADVERTISING
The federst trade commission has
ie elded that, dishonest advertising la
.unfair competition", and in violation
jf the Sherman law.,, It will the'ro
ore investigate complaints . of such
?dverUsing that are fornia?ly'.ilald',^
lore ttl It has taken thia ^attitude os
y' result of pleas made toy ^e'?I?H
loclated Advertising . Clubs of tho
.Vorld, which aro laboring to abolish
ill "crooked adysrthrtjtg" ha the
^r?st-t>t:fj^^lay^ w
Herbert S. Huustou, president of
the Advertising Clubs, in putting the
case beforo the trade commission, ex
plained that dishonest adverting is
one of the worst forms of unfair com
petition, because it penalizes tho hon
est business man for thc benefit of an
unscrupulous competitor. There oro
"honest advertisJn? laws" in thirty
two slates, but often the advertiser
fe. a resident of one state and the ad
vertisement is published in another,
so that tho offense ia an interstate
matter anu cannot be reached by
state inw. It is therefore unnecessary
for Ute federal government to act, if
tile hpuest ndvertlsers are to have
udequate protection.
Tho interest of tho public in the
matter In, if possible, more vital even
than that of the square business
man. Mr. Houston says he has au
thority of tho postofflco department
for ???? Htatornent that in thc past
four /ears $60,000,000 a year has
been filched from tho American peo
ple by fabe investment concerns
alone. Tho editor of a farm paper
published in Des Moines declared that
r?,000 cases of false advertising could
be placed before tho commission with
ing thirty days.
I.et it not bo Imagined, however,
that advertising in general is "crook
ed." The fact that tho government is
assuming this new duty nt tho re
quest of tho country's advertising
men themselves proves the keen de
tire of thc profcBsion for absolute
honesty.
Il is, in fact, an aumirablo tribute
to the cleanness and squareness of
American (business. We have travel
ed far from tho nnclont rulo of "Let
the buyer bowar?." Tho motto now
ls. "Let tho seller beware!" And tho
Boiler himself, even if he is not in
clined-ca the great majority pf our
business men are today-to toll tho
truth and charge honest prices from
u sense of moral obligation, has
loamed that there is no business
pclicy BO profitable in the long run
as honest advortislng.
MUST SOCIETIES PROP TUE
HYPHEN!
Ono of the most drastic suggestions
for dealing with the "hyphen prob
lem" comer, from William Lustgar
ten of New York, tho organizer of an
nntl-hyphcn society. He sees in divid
ed allegiance a gravo menace to our
national life, and proposes to elimi
nate it by public ostracism directed
against alien organisations.
"Tho firBt step,"; ho says, "must
come from public official?? and politi
cal leaders. Public officials, as of
ficials, from the president down,
should ignore air functions given by
hyphenated societies. All politicians
in the past have encouraged such
organizations. Now, realizing that
they aro unpatriotic and might on oc
casion prove treasonable, they should
put tho han upon them.
"The original disapproval must
como from official sources. If tho
mayors of cities, office holders, politi
cal workers and all good Americano
likewise refused to attend the func
tions of hyphenated societies, they
would begin to bring homo to the
minds of the members that If they
wish to be Americans they must drop
the names of the countries whence
thoy came."
He even goes so far as to advocate
"that no corporate entity bo given
to societies hoaxing hyphens
names"--that is, that such societies
bc denied thc legal right of lncor
poratlon."
In a recent speech President Wil
een hinted at social ostracism for
those who persist in Haunt IDE their
dual loyalty. In hts obie lui capacity
he appears to have acted according
to Ur. Lust car ten's principle, refus
lng to deal with representatives .of
societies interested in any form ot
war propaganda. Neither ho nor any
other mah in public life, however,
seems to have gone to the extreme
ot denying recognition to all hyphen
ated societies.
Such - policy might work injustice
In many cases, and there's room for
question whether it should be adopt
ed; but; the present tendency of pub
lic, sentiment Is plainly in that di
rection.
