BIGHEADEDNESS AND MGHEARTEDNESS
We have been accused as a nation ot having the big
head. We pleaded guilty to the soft impeachment. Every-'
thing in our country has been upon so large a scale and op
portunities for comparison with other nations-have been
so imperfect that we have fallen into a habit of brag. But
if we have the big head, it is a comfort to believe that we:
also have the big heart.
Bad as an ignoble pride is. it would be wicked not to be
a little bit set up at remembering the response we are mak
ing to the appeals for help that fall upon our ears from
every quarter of the globe. We have been spending mil
lions of dollars in gifts to the victims of injustice and mis
fortune in Poland, Belgium, France and Armenia. \v e
have been lending billions to our allies in the war. We
have raised a mighty army and consecrated a mighty navy
to avenge what we call a mighty colossal wrong to our
neighbors across the sea and now we are submitting to a
tax of twenty billion dollars to carry on this crusade, with
out a murmur.
Twentv billion dollars! No human mind can form an
adequate conception of such a sum of money. It is an ab
solutely staggering amount. And yet nobody complains
and nobody refuses. We read of our National Congress
voting away mighty appropriations every day as to make
imagination dizzy, and yet we applaud the deeds. We are
not trying to establish the doctrine that ‘‘might makes
right,” for that would be to open an abyss beneath our feet,
but we are saving the world, by our actions from this
abyss. We must, as a nation and a people, go the limit,
holding back nothing.
When Ananias and Sappnira sold their field and “held
back part of the price,” their economy proved futile and
fatal. For us to imitate their example will he to suffer
their penalty.
Let us “have a heart!” Let us furnish the world the
greatest example of magnanimity of all the ages.
Everybody can assist in this and one of the smallest
ways is to purchase a Liberty Loan Bond.

\ SYMPATHETIC STRIKES
To quit an ordinary job out of sympathy for a fellow
worker who may or may not he getting a square deal, is a
common occurrence these days when half the workers Out
side appear to be on strike. Rut when a man resigns a po
sition such as that of collector of customs for the port of

New York just because some women, probably perfect
strangers to him, were put in jail, we belie\e it is high
time to call a halt on thisstrike stuff. It is going too far
when government officials—headliners at that take1 up
the fad.
If federal officials at Washington take up the hobby,
we need not be surprised to hear, some line day, that the
secretary of the treasury has gone on strike because con
gress refused to re-kalsomnie his office and install a new
heating system. The secretary of state may walk out in
sympathy for the man who runs the elevator at the capi
tol, and the secretary of agriculture may walk out because
the government refuses to make “Coming through the
Rye” the national anthem.
But getting back to Malone. We can t imagine any
thing that yvould make us quit a remunerative4 job like that
of collector of the port unless they stopped our pay. Given
a salary such as his, yve yvould fret about ‘ \ otes for
women/—(Fairbanks Times.)
Gee, fellahs, they are on the big diamond today in Chi
cago and “what's the score?”
