with the patriotism displayed by their
own citizens and by the German ma
ton In taking up the bonds issued
by them.
Des Moines Capital: The greatest
danger in man like La Toilette is
his egotism. There is no limit to
his ambition. If he should be presi-
dent he would be La Toilette man.
He would be a kaiser. Such a man
would be dangerous in the presidency.
He is a dangerous man today. He
should be expelled from congress. He
is more dangerous to the public than
Aaron Burr ever was. II he should
be nominated by any faction or party
his appeal would be to the uneducat-
ed, the unthinking, the irresponsible,
the unpatriotic, to the men who say
country" He would rally all the
discomfort. He would give us Rus
sian campaign. To defeat him all
the elements of patriotism and 10y
atty and love Of country would be
compelled to rally. The one assuring
thought would be that the soldier
boys would be at home and by their
votes they could crush him. But the
duty of the hour is to expel Senator
La Toilette from the United States
senate. Then he can begin his battle.
He would be compelled to play an
open hand. The people would know
him better.

to an organization and in return he receives an
engraved paper receipt called bond. A part
of this bond bears the terms of the loan 1t
states that fifty dollars, one hundred dollars,
five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars or
more has been borrowed from the buyer OF the
bond for stated period of years at certain
rate of interest, this interest to be paid on
dates stated in the bond. The interest IS usual

ginning with the first date on which interest IS
due. these bear the date and the amount OF
money to be paid If the bond was issued June
Is. 1917, for one hundred dollars at three and
one-half per cent, the first coupon would state
that on December Is, 1917, one dollar and sew
enty-five cents would be paid to the bearer.
This coupon could be deposited or cashed at
any bank.
If a bond is registered the owner receives a
receipt for his money, the bond is held by the
organization issuing it, and the interest is paid
to the owner by check. Coupon bonds are pay

AS If the hurrying footsteps to restrain.
What gossip might hear if he were guest
OF these old homes whose hearts have held
faithful trust the secrets cursed and blest
OF those who here for lifes brief season dwelled
Down this broad way the centuries have gone,
And summoned sire and son to journey far
Beyond the quiet hills encircling dawn,
Beyond the cleaning Of the twilight star
The angel Death twilight pilgrimage
Here entered every home, and brought release
To dreams of youth and memories OF age,
And gave to pain the anodyne Of peace
Here swept the Winter with his warriors white
The Autumn led his motley retinue;
Here Spring played her pipes in ancient rite.
And called the the and dew
No simple way is this-along this street
Eternity to eternity;
Eternal forces in old striving meet
This is a world wrought in epitome.

THE HERO NATION.

The bonds of blood and a common language
bind us to England, and many an American
has come to realize that along with his ardent
devotion to his country he owes also large II
less intense allegiance to Anglo-Saxondom az a
whole, the rock from which we We're heWn, the
motherland but for whose magma charta our
declaration of independence could not have
been given to the world.
Not less for this however, but only in diff
ferent way do our hearts warm to France, ''the
hero nation of the world as she has shown her
self in this greatest of crises for mankind. I'm
selfish, undaunted unflinching, heroic France
held back through weary months the hordes of
Germans who would have overrun the world I'M
til the armies of civilization could rally to her
aid.
Who in America does not realize this now?

Duluth News-Tribune: Senator La
Toilette has convicted himself In a
set speech, read from manuscript, he
has declared his own Euilt in his at
titude of mind, in his opposition to
the war, in his readiness to bring
dissension and confusion into the
minds of the people. His is not the
voice of loyalty; 1t is the voice dis
loyal in that it brings aid and COM

calculated to prove to Germany that

in their acts and did not have this in
entering the war.
