Insurance Policies Against DespOtlsm

(By Benjamin r. Tillman, United
States Senator from South Caro-
lina.)
Every American citizen who can do
so ought to purchase one or more Of
tine Liberty Loan Bonds. It Is his
duty. France and England have
borne the heat and burden of the
day." and the quickest way we can
come to their aid Is to furnish them
mcncy. We shudder to think of our
troops being sent to the battle front In
Europe, and the more dollars we
send now, the fewer men we shall
have to send later-and the shorter
time they will have to stay. I am in
favor of our doing our full share in the
job of Kidding the world Of Prussian
militarism. II our troops are need
ed. want them sent to Europe in
ample numbers-a steady stream, ev-
er ncreasing-but, IL our money now
can enable our allies to overcome the
common enemy before our men are
ready, SO much the better for all con-
cerned. A hundred dollars contribut-
cd by the farmer, tradesman, doctor,
lawyer, merchant, or artisan, may
keep a loved one out Of the hoi rible
trenches of northern France. We are
going to whip Imperial Germany, bat
we want to do it in the easiest way.
Let us buy Liberty Bonds! Common
sense tells us that is the thing to do
We are not asked to give anything.
The government has asked for a. loan
and the whole amount Of property
in the United States is security for It.
The investment is absolutely safe, and
we are to receive three and one-half
per cent. interest with the privilege
of turning our bonds into other issues
in the future IL the interestsr rate is
raised. In two years from now, be-
lleye. the Liberty bonds will bNIselling
considerably above ppr-sa1 ut 1o7.
In other words. an investme In the
bonds in all probability Wiz " some
six or seven per cent. A Invest
ment at that rate does . happen
along every day. The ma bf small
means, besides doing his Wpatriot:c
duty. will be doing a good busiess
stroke by investing at least a portion
of his savings in Liberty Bonds. They
will pay him a fair profit-and he
can turn them into money at q "min-
ute's notice.
Buy bonds, my fellow citizens. Sho'v
your faith in democracy. Tyranny
has reared its ugly head once moro,
and II is more venomous than ever.
This war started when the yankee
fired on British hirelings at Lexing-
ton. Let us finish the work our fore
fathers began at Bunker Hill. The
world cannot exist half autocratic and
half democratic. The antagonism be
tween the two systems of government
ia mortal-and must be fought to the
death. Our dollars must fight whi'c
our men are preparing for the con-
fiict. Buy Liberty Bonds. They arH
insurance policies against despotism.

IHE oRAToRIO SOCIETY.

Recently Annapolis has been greatly
benefited and uplifted BY the organi-
cation OF an Oratorio class under the
direction of Mr.. Pache, a world-famous
musical conductor. The very pres
ence of Mr. Pache in this city is 2
source Of congratulation to its music
loving citizens.
Such an organization here as that
recently affected, not only creates a
love for music. but it engenders a
taste for music in its highest sense.
and at the same time develops and fos-
tiers the community spirit.
There should be even more to join
the class organized by Mr. Pache than
its present charter membership OF
Nsome sixty voices. There is nothing
more inspiring. more uplifting. than
music, a concord of sweet sounds
brings us in closer touch with the soul
Of humanity. for we must feel deeply.
kindly, nobly TO sing well. The lee
lures to the class by Prof Pache are
full of interest, and should not be
missed by any music-loser in this
community, where the presence OF
such famous conductor is deeply
appreciated.

ARE ANNAPOLIS WOMEN
SLACKERS!

Anne Arundels quota for the Food
Conservation Week was 1914 or
this number only 1,122 women, house-
wives, had signed the pledge cards up
70 Saturday.
Does this mean there are so women
slackers in Annapolis and in Anne
Arundel County? Surely not There
must be and there certainly is. some
mistake. Women in this city and
county are as patriotic as women any
where else. II is only force Of cir
cumstance that has prevented these
S22 Annapolis and Anne Arundel
County women from signing the
pledge card. II is known that there
were very few in Annapolis, com
paratively, who did not sign. II is
true, some positively refused, some
we're impolite and discourteous
enough to shut the door, even slam
II, IN the face OF the women recruit
ing officers. Some denounced
Hoover in terms emphatic, but in the
majority OF cases the recruiting Off
GERS found the heartiest welcome, the
unqualified cooperation of house
wives, and this voluntarily assumed
task OF going from door to door to
solicit pledge signers in the great
Food Army Of Conservation was a
pleasure
Nearly every woman said she was
doing her best to economic as she
never had done before. She simply
had TO, in order to make ends meet,
and keep the family together
The general sentiment is the same,
"Hooverize," do the best you can, and
yet there are S22 Anne Arundel delin-
quent housewives who have not sign
ed the pledge card.
There are many more "slackers"
who have not displayed the window
cards. Various. reasons are given for
the non-display Of these cards. but
none Is good or iustihable reason,
for every good housewife should be
imbued with enough patriotism to at
least show her colors. and showing her
colors in this instance means hang
ing the food card in her front window.
The housewife who has not done so
has made herself more conspicuous,
and has put in front of her house, in
biz letters. "WHY?"
Fortunately. the time is extended
for the pledge card signing drive, and
those whom it has been impossible to
reach in the country districts may yet
be able to sign the card and to join
the food army.
