We ARE AT MAR.


The United States is at war. We
are engaged in a conflict TO make the
world safe for democracy. We are
lighting that our children's children
may not be exposed to the dangers
that have come TO US We are bat
Ting to protect small nations from
the greed Of the mighty. And we are
standing as protectors of the consti-
tuition of this free country. We are
AT war. gentlemen, and those who
commit reasonable acts, among them
conspiring to defeat the ends of the
selectiye draft law, can be punished
by death The time for debate has
ended. The man who conceived the
idea OF thwarting the war plans OF
Nncle Sam, whether he be an Okla
homa anti-draft agitator or a United
States Senator, should be dealt with
by a stern hand. When our boys are
dying in France we want no cowardly
traitors at home.

the statement that he might use the

have passed away. but the advertising
agency that believes il is entitled to

IS still with us just why any news
paper should be asked TO advertise
without charge, any article from
which someone derives profit is hard
to see. but there are few newspapers
that do not get a steady flow OF re-
quests of this kind
Barton and Crippen, publishers of
the Evening Wedge at Durand. Wis.
express their views on this subject
very forcibly in a recent issue as fol-
lows:
IF a man were TO go into dry
goods store and say. j buy $40 or $50
worth OF good from you year and I
think you should give me pair OF
shoes, It Is hardy likely he would
get them. In fact the storeke Ear
might think, and rightly too. that he

sition a &c subject TO send 70 Men
dota; II he were TO 90 into a hardware
store and ask for the gift OF lawn
mower because he had been trading
there fer the past year the chances
are that he would not get the lawn
mower unless he paid the price for IT,;
Il he were to go into a bank and say
he thought he should have present

hardly likely his wish would be graft

train without a ticket and tell the con-
ductor the railroad company should
take him TO Chicago free because ne
had continually Dragged of the COM
pany to his friends he would be put

Absurd as the above suppositious
cases are they are no more so than
the idea Of working newspaper for
free advertising. A newspaper mans

are merchants goods. bankers

agency places a contract for $50
worth OF advertising in the course OF
year II Is very often the case that
the newspaper man is asked TO give

Using, sometimes more.
Newspaper men are largely to
blame for this state of affairs. They
have permitted such state of affairs
TO exist so long that it.may be little

The company fund is used to-sup-

The company fund is maintained by
assessment of the pay OF all the men.
The greatest need, however. for the
