VANDERBILT EPIGRAMS
We arc Mt xvar-a gigantic war

We are Mt war--a gigantic war
but we are going to win.
The cause of this war is the fact
that there is bully who has got
to be licked.
You emit shell a German out of
"A trench with a stock certificate.
You can't bring down an airplane
with a bond.
You can't take the bank rolls
of nll the landlords of this country
and protect yourselves from tor
pedoes.
We arc now fighting the first
battle of this war in America. One
hundred million people have been
drafted. 1t depends upon the man
ner In which you conduct your
selves and your personal affairs as
to the way the battle will be de-
cided In the end.
j am just from n camp where /
saw soldiers drilling with crooked
sticks for guns; horses without
brides and saddles, no harness;
machine gun squads without ma
chine guns. 1 saw some of these
guns but they had been brought
over from France to train our
men with.
The tragedy of the war Is that
the people will have the biggest
business of their day and will be
forced to compete with the gov
eminent in rushing the factories
with orders, when the government
needs the output of the factories.
There is nothing that pIeases the
Kaiser more than to see us go on
with pleasure and nmussments.
Mrs. Mathis has said that we
are n snendthrift peOpIe. and in
deed we are; we have not stood
prosperity.
No cause has ever met with the
complete appreciation of church and
press as the war certificate and
thrift stamp campaign. 1t is 80
good that you can't buy but $1,000
worth of it. 1t is SO simple, too
If you are in business, no mat
ter what kind, you should feel IL
your duty to have thrift stamps for
sale.
Luxury now costs twice its nor
NAL price.
France has bled white and she
Is tired; Russia has failed from
military standpoint. Italians have
lost in a few days what it took
them months to gain. The serious
situation is that 1T rests with Eng
lind and America to settle the war.
And we have got to back England
to do 1t, too.
Whatever you do or whatever yOu
do not do, get out of the way OF
the government--let them have the
factories and workshops. We are ur
against superhuman task of lick
ing the superbly organized and mill
itaristic force of the Kaiser.

and we are expecting them to do that
in a years time.
''Now, this yardstick of dollars that
we are used to measuring with Is not
the yardstick that will really measure
our accomplishment in this war. This
war. as no war ever before, is war
of equipment. a war of things re-
quired to be made for the use and
protection Of our soldiers. We must
make $1,000, 100000 worth of airplanea,
one of the most delicate, one of the
most unusual industrial tasks that
could be imposed. We are planning to
manufacture this year S1,S00,000.009
worth of ammunition. We are to spend
nearly $4,000, 100000 in building ships,
and that is the neck of the bottle
everything will depend on the ships.
1t will be useless to drill soldiers, to
equip them, to make airplanes, to do
any of this work, unless it can De
transported to the fields of France.
80 the task that we have got Is
not one to be measured in dollars; Is
not one to think about in dollars. 1t
is to be thought about in man power,
in muscle in raw materials, in work
shops and their products. We must
keep in mind that our success in this
war, the measure of the strength of
the blow that we shall strike, VIII
be guided by the output Of the work
shops. not by appropriations, not by
treasury credits.

BOND ELECTION
MAY BE CALLED

The city engineer has made an es-
innate of the cost of improving north
Grand street and constructing con
crete bridge over Missouri flat creek
His estimate for the work Is $11,35O.
The matter came up at the regular
meeting of the council Tuesday and
the engineer was instructed to file
an estimate of the cost of the i'm
proyement including bridge across
south Palouse creek on State street.
1t will be impossible for the city
to include the cost of this work in
the budget and the council has in
structed the city attorney to prepare
an ordinance calling for "A special
election on the question of issuing
bonds to raise sufficient funds to
make the proposed improvements.
The county will be asked to pay a
portion of the cost.

FOR EFFICIENCY

Agency of Great Service to the
Farmers

At the Chamber of Commerce
luncheon Tuesday high praise was
given to NJ. ID. Henry for the eff
cient way in which he has managed
the employment agency established
by the organization. o. l.. Waller
explained that the agency was estab-
l,shed to meet any trouble resulting
from the strik@-sHs+Ied by the |. w. w.
for August 20, and that it had rem
dered valuable service to the farmers
and the community.
ID. f. Staley stated that through
the agency all demands for farm
laborers had been met within "a
hours A bunch of 10 !. w. VS. had
been located and pointed out to the
farmers, who refused to employ
them and after hanging around a
few days without receiving any offers
of work, they had departed without
causing any trouble. He attributed
the successful operation of the
agency to the ability of NJ. ID. Henry,
who had been secured to conduct It,.
A motion was carried that report
of the plan of operation of the agency
and the satisfactory results attained
be prepared for the information of
other com munities.
Dr. Archer referred to the recent
fatal accident at the DIV. r. Il n.
crossing on Kamiacken street and
urged that some steps should be
taken at once to eliminate the con
slant danger from the railroad cross
ings either by the installation OF
gates or the construction of via
duct continuing Star Route street
over both railroads to Main street.
Several others told of narrow es-
capes from accidents at the railroad
crossings and urged that some action
should be taken at once. The matter
was referred to the social welfare
committee for investigation,
