never be granted at least until it ha

How Much is Iowa Patriotism Worth
1t j. shame for Iowa to go to distant
market to negotiate the war loan OF
100000. Ii the people Of Iowa be
really in earnest for the prosecution OF
the war, they can have no more tangi-
bic means Of showing it practically than
by subscribing for the war loan. II the
patriotism of this State is not equal to
shoulderng 100000 Of debt, now in
the world will it be able 10 pay its p0r-
ton Of the $40O,OOO,OOO required by
the President to prosecute the war, with
out knowing tor certain that this amount
will suffice. The people OF Iowa ought
to do one Of two things; either in-
sist upon the restoration Of peace, or il
they prefer aud determine to have the
war 60 on, strengthen the hands of the
Government BY contributing their share
Of the means absolutely needed it to
prosecute to . successful ISSUE. Curb
stone patriotism, store box defamation
nor flag raising oratory will clothe, feed,
transport and arm troops. 1t needs
money to do this, and without money
1t cannot be done.
1t is ~ outrage for the patriots Of
Iowa to seud six thousand men into the
field, aud then go abroad into foreign
money market to raise funds to clothe,
arm and feed them. Come 70 war pa.
triots, this will not do. Hand over the
