HOT AIR PATRIOTISM
There is a great deal of it on exhibition in this country now.
Leaders of fake patriotic organizations, whose interest in "prepared
ness' is fostered by the gain they are making by furnishing military
equipment and supplies to the government at exorbitant profits, or
who hope to promote their political fortunes by militarism, are loud
in their demands that the government increase its expenditures for
war preparations by millions and billions of dollars, and denounce
those who oppoue such expenditures as "copperheads", "mollycod
dles", "peaccat-any-price", etc.
But when a call is made for enlistments that may mean the fur
nishing of human bodies to be cannon fodder or the targets for snip
ers' bullets, these h6t air patriots fail to put in an appearance at the
recruiting stations and leave it to the men whom they denounce as
"copperheads" and "mollycoddles" to fill up the ranks.
If We should accept the statements of fake patriots at what they
want them accepted for,' and hot for what they are really worth, we
would think that the cities of Boston ari New York were teeming
with men, and women, tod, who were almost dying to go to war for
their country ; and that some of the western states, notably Nebraska,
are inhabited by a lot of white livered citizens who turn pale at the
thot of war. Let people who wish to be deceived believe such false
representations,' if they wish to do so. We will not, but rather do our
best to expose them.
The following press report was published in the daily papers last
month :
Boston Urges Break With Berlin
Boston, Mass., May 7. Resolutions urKinfr President Wilson
to break off diplomatic relations with Germany were adopted at a
meeting today In observance of the first anniversary of the sink
ing of the Lusltanla.
About 2,500 persons attended the meeting, which was under
the auspices of the Citixens' League of America and the allies.
James M. Beck, former assistant attorney general of the United
States, and Professor Joslah Royce of Harvard were the principal
speakers.
The Omaha World-Herald of May 25 contained a cartoon by
Spencer which, while not referring directly to the above item, gives a
splendid setting for it. In tlio cartoon are two soldiers, onr a giant
and the other a pigmy, the giant representing the enlistments in Oma
ha since increase in the army was authorized, one man for every 2,697
men of the population; the pigmy representing the enlistments in
Boston during the same time, one man for every 71,620 men of the
population, the enlistments in Omaha being mote than twenty-six
times as many in proportion to adult male population as in Boston.
The same issue of the World-Herald contained the following editorial,
which shows how the populace in the storm centers of preparedness
ere clamoring (not) to push their way into pos itions of danger in de
fense t)f the country:
"Figures that Bore IV
"Uncle Sam." says the Chicago Tribune, "wants about 30.000
more regulars; 145.000 persons marched in New York's prepared
ness pageant; 1.000,000 watched them. Last week 4 00 applied
as recruits; of these 4 9 were accepted. Not that figures prove
anything. They always bore us."
Unquestionably such figures bore the Tribune. The Tribune
is the leadinjr western organ of militarism as opposed to reasona
ble preparedness. It is an unsparing critic of Iresident Wilson
and a democratic congress because they have provided for a stand
ing army of only a quarter of a million. The Tribune wants a
million two million. Better than that. It demands unlvaran!
service, as in Germany, where every healthy adult male human
being Is obliged to be a soldier.
In view of the figures that "bore" it, may It not dawn upon
the Tribune before long, and upon all the other republican critics
of the "inadequate" democratic preparedness program,, that their
quarrel Is not with the democratic party but with the whole peo
ple of the United States?
When that hard, cold fact does at last penetrate to their Inner
consciousness, may we not expect them to admit that the demo
cratic party is really giving the country about as big a dose of pre
paredness as the country is prepared to assimilate?

THE COST OF PRINTING GROWS
As every reader of a newspaper who keeps in touch with the ris
ing cost of materials knows, the cost of paper, ink and other materials
has increased nearly one hundred per cent since January 1st. That
this must result in an increase of rates for printing of all kinds, in
cluding advertising, is an evident fact. The Columbus Telegram,
edited by Edgar Howard, in its issue of last week had the following
to say regarding the matter:
Because of the evervaulting price of print paper many west
ern newspapers are now close to the danger line of a deficit.
There is only one way to meet the danger. It must be met
by a ralBe. in the price of subscription and advertising in harmony
with the increase in the cost of newspaper materials. Publishers
hesitate about adopting this policy, although It has been adopted
by all other interests whose commodities have been increased by
the war troubles. But this is the very course which publishers
must adopt, or very soon many country newspapers will be com
pelled to suspend publication. The situation Is worse in this west
ern section of the country, because of the heavy freight charges.
After all. perhaps this danger situation will in the, end be a
good thing for the average country newspaper, because the sad
fact is that the newspaper publishers have for years been doing
business on a smaller margin of profit than any other tradesmen.
A Nebraska publisher who has made careful study of the situation
has estimated that a country newspaper, with a circulation list of
1,000 must necessarily lose money at the present price of paper,
ink, rollers, machinery and labor, if he shall accept advertising at
less than 15 cents per inch, and that a paper with 3.000 circula
tion must receive 25 rents an inch for advertising in order to
make both ends meet.
Two years ago an edition of The Herald like this week's regular
eauion wouia nave cost us tor paper, ink ami labor about $175. The
labor, ink and paper expense of this present edition will exceed $225
Business men in other lines are probably also sufferine from the
effects of high prices but none have been hit harder than the country
