stating that interest shall not exceed
3 I-2 per cent, that action won't make
it any easier for Mr.. McAdoo toseli his
bonds at that rate: We all know that
he IS enough Of pair;ot and states-
man to get the best rate he can, con-
sistent with far-sighted dealing;
Second: Our next bit of advice Is
addressed direct to the Treasury De-
partment, and it is to take care of the
Treasury's. immediate wants, includ-
ing those of the allies. by the sale of
one-year Treasury certificates. This
is what Great Britain did, and it is a
good precedent to follow. By means
Of it ample funds can be raised i'm
mediately and time given for the elab-
crate plans necessary to float a large,
popular loan;
Third: The foregoing remarks lead
us to the last point, and that is, to
advise the Treasury to make several
bites of this cherry that is to be Of
fcred to the people at large, and not
to make the mistake of examining
their mouths too full Of fruit, no mat
ter how luscious. In other words,
make the first offering of a popular
loan $1,000. .ooo, 900. Do not attempt
to offer it until pretty nearly June I.
Take plenty Of time for preparation.
The country has got to have a lot of
education. Patriotism alone isn't going
to do the trick. Here again we can
turn to the experience which Great
Britain has had. She has had extra
ordinary success with her popular
loans, but it has been only through
the most elaborate propaganda, up
to-date advertising, etc, plans much
easier to handle effectively in a COM
paratively limited area like the British
Isles. than in a wide expanse of
country like ours. Make your rate of
interest, Mr.. Secretary, per cent,
not 3I-2 per cent. The difference be-
tween that rate and the ) or per
cent that investors can ordinarily
secure, represents the higher degree
Of credit which this government ought
to command. If you do this, then
you will have tremendous success
in your first popular loan, such a sue
cess as to make your subsequent
operations much easier and enable
the government to secure its money
on the whole at lower average rate
Of interest.
Finally, very likely the Treasury
has already looked ahead, foreseen
all these contingencies. and will
smile condescendingly at us for advo-
eating program that it has already
decided is in general wise. But it
never does any harm to offer advice,
provided it is preferred in a spirit of
cooperation and not of criticism. OF
that VIC can assure the administration.
1t is precisely the spirit in which we
pen these words.

OUR NATIONS CHIEF

Proud man today at helm OF state.
Our nations love we consPcrate
Ana pledge our every thoueht and aim
our country's love and sacred name, ;
Whste'er befall on sea and land
We rise to meet our chiefs command
From out the silent depths there rise
hl-conqucring ones without disguise;
Millions stand where some may fall.
Obedient to Columbia's call.

Courage riyalling Grant or Lee,

In times OF war most patriotic.
hundred million souls cry out
And ask that armies right about,
For vslOrons deeds as yet uhheard.
When Columbia's chieftain speaks the
word
The world has heard, the world shall
know.
How freedom may her gifts bestow
Armies on the land in motion,
Mighty fleets upon the ocean,
Protect our country and our trade,
Maintain the rights that God has made.
Dethrone the tyrant. break the chain,
Nor let a single link remain.
The Chieftain's word through Congress
spoke;
Ten million men to arms awoke.
There may be flood. there may be fire,
As foreign foes may yet coaspire:
But foreign foes may not despoil
The homes we made by honest toll
Serried ranks to dangers go:
They dread no storm, they fear no foe.
The war win bring them true Eenown.
With every foe by them cast down.
Our Chiefs command to them shall be
Columbia's prowess that makes men
free.
His words earth's despots shall appall,
As trumpet sounds to arms shall call,
And war in tragic glory spreads r.
The Stars and Stripes the tyrant breads.
Multitudes in gathering strength
Invinciole shall go the length
OF all the world oppressed desires, !
Unsheathing sword and kindling fires
That burn and burn tin altars bright
Shall eonsecrate the glorious fight. :

If President Wilson wishes to know
how to regulate food prices, manage the
government of the United States, or run
the war. all he has to do is to sit in
with any little gathering of men now
adays. 1t makes no difference whether
1t is in the restaurant. the barber shop.
the store or the office, the only things
discussed are international affairs, and
matters pertaining thereto. Questions
that have puzzled astute statesmen from
the time of Caesar are quickly and salts
factorily disposed Of by these kitchen
cabinets. Yet the situation Is leading
people to think in terms Of continents in
stead of countries. However costly, It
may be, the war is teaching the world a
great lesson. the value of which will
probably not be fully comprehended until
long after peace is established Chris

discretion of the Treasury. What
is the use of Congress attempting

If Congress attempts to do this, we
shall be sure to find ourselves in an
impasse. We have a notion in this
country that we know how to run our
affairs just as we'll as, if not better
than, the other fellow. Still, shall VIC
not do well, to take a leaf from the
books of Great Britain and France,
who it must be acknowledged have
handled their financial affairs wonder
fully throughout the war? In the
case of both those governments, the
parliaments grant certain credit in
round amount, and then in either in
stance leave entirely to the chancellor

money authorized under the credits

WHEN ONE MAN WAS
GALL OF CONGRESS-

W HI y G. N, September Is
There is man in Congress who once
staged whole session of Congress. by
himself
That man is Congressman Barnhart.
OF Indiana.
The session was complete. There
were verbal smoke screens. flung pro-
tectingly about pork barrels. which
were being shot full of holes. The
big guns doing the shooting were
there. and in other ways the session
was very exact reproduction of q
congressional scance.
The only difference was that the
session was held in a certain hotel.
patronized by Congressman, instead of
in the Capitol.
Tourists stopping there one evening
were suddenly struck by hearing Uncle
Joe Cannon. apparently at his very
best. debate was in progress.
Cyclone" Davis. OF Texas. was next
at the bat. then j. Hamilton Lewis,
Congressman Hefiin and most Of the
well-known characters Of the Con-
Eressonal Directory. Joined in.
And when the tourists ventured into
the secluded hall to investigate. they
found Representative Barnhart sur
rounded By several dozen guests in
evening clothes And Representative
Barnhart was showing them what a.
good mimic Congressman can be II
