FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1919 Precept Without Practice The government has been talking thrift for the two years since we went into the war. People have been ask- £d, nay, urged, almost commanded, to i save their pennies, dimes and quar- i ters, to buy Thrift stamps and the { government securities of higher de- nomination. It has been impressed upon us that the amount of the in- 'vestment 'was not so important as the fact of the saving represented. And it was a lesson of which we were in sore need. "Buf it is a sad awakening to the 'American people who have honestly tried to attain this virtue of thrift to have the government itself stand for the many varieties of extrava- .. gance that it has praticed all through . 'the war. When we were wildly pre- : paring for our part in the fighting program we excused the evident - waste upon the grounds of it being "necessary to sacrifice economy in the .interest of speed. But now that the .press of haste is over we see exactly ithe same policy being carried on into 'peace time, a policy which is amply illustrated in the announcement that the American stock of military air craft is to be junked and the larger portion of the German fleet, that part which is not to be given to : ftaly, is to be sunk in mid-ocean. : ; There is no possibility of reconcil- : ing such a practice with the govern- hent's thrift preachments and little ] teason to expect that the American jjeople will ever again take much stock in the admonition of authorities at Washington on the subject of the "happy habit of thrift." 'There are limits to the credulity of even an American public and it will be reached, in so far as listen- ing to tales of the joy of ¥ GES Cd di te, eg bn Articles | saving | i | the trees. Foster an interest in the i birds is the surest way to an elimina- {tion of regard for the animals that prey upon them. The Railroad And The Public Nothing seems to be very sure about the railroad situation, compli- | cated by the failure of the sixty-fifth { Congress to pass the General De- | ficiency bill by which $750,000,000 was | to be supplied for the administration | of the railways, except that Director- General Hines has stated that in no { event will the railroads be returned | upon short notice to their owners. | Just what is to be done will have i to be worked out, if there is a solu- | tion that does not involve turning | the roads back to their former own- ers forthwith. If the question were | one simply between the government { | and the railroad owners, there would be no particular anxiety as to what | tion effected by the failure of Con- { gress to provide the necessary legis- lation to afford money for operation of the railroads. But they are least affected, for it is the American pub- lic that pays in any event for what is done, pays in money, pays in in- convenience, pays in the lessened ei- ficiency of all business and industrial life. The railroads are not private or governmental property strictly speak- ing. The general public has the right to expect to have the systems operat- ed smoothly and safely in accordance with its convenience and welfare. The Victory Loan Campaign The Victory Loan campaign is to open April 21 and continue until May 10, three weeks in which it is expected that the loan of seven bil- lion dollars will be provided by the American public. There is a measure of uneasiness in the hearts of those who are desirous of seeing the nation rise to meet this last obligation of the war lest the people fail to make the sacrifice that they have made in other loans be- cause the danger in which the coun- try stood then has been removed and no one now fears the coming of a German fleet, either of the air or the sea, to the seacoast cities of the United States. The result of the approaching loan will pretty well determine whether Ihe American people were actuated in their support of the war during the period of fighting by real patriot- or by fear of the consequences of Free and the Home of the Brave. would be the result of the complica- | i of the best investment in the world.

WANT GAGE'S BEACH TO BECOME PART OF FOREST PRESERVE Representatives of Wilmette and other north shore towns are scheduled to appear before the Forest Preserve Board at the offices of the County Commissioners in Chicago, Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock to dis- cuss the advisability of adding Gage's beach to the Forest Preserve lands. 'he Forest Preserve commission of Cook County, have before its com- mittee at this time for consideration, | the purchase of this beautifully wooded 'Lake Shore property and beach for use of the public. They are to consider the acquisition of this property this month.
