SCRAP THE JUNK.

Today the senate's naval committee
will inaugurate what has been ordered
as a thorough investigation of the ex.
plosion of shells on the steamship
Mongolia, which resulted In the deaths
of two Red Cross nurses.
1t Is reported that the shells which
were used on this and other vessels,
including the st. Louis, were relics OF
the Spanish-American war II this 10
true, the man responsible for their use
deserves the censure which will be his
portion. If 1t is not true, and If the
accidents on the Mongolia and the St.
Louis were no more nor less than the
tragedies that must be visited on ma.
ton at war, these facts should be
known.
This fact at least is beyond dispute:
If any ammunition Of ancient manufac-
ture is being depended on for the pro-
lection of American lives from submar-
ines, 1t should be scrapped. With Am
erican factories turning out shells by
trainloads and shiploads. there can be
no excuse for the use Of Junk on Amer.
ica's own vessels.

Americans are slow 70 believe the evil
dence Of their own senses and reason

The fact that Germany has not yet

shores is due to England, France and
ruined Belgium; due to Italy, Russia
and to their lesser allies. For almost
three years they have been fighting
our battles while we have closed our
eyes to our duty, which is duty to
them as well as tn ourselves.
Had they fought less valiantly the
war in Europe would be ended now,
the entente nations subtugated and

wild dream Of world domination.

euY A BOND.

Ottumwa has made proud record
as a Red Cross city: Wapello county
takes its place in the front rank as
Red Cross community. Now let as
creditable a record be written by
patriotic and general response to the
appeal for investment In the United
States governments liberty bonds.
In the preceding sentence the word
general" was interlined as substi-
tute for liberal" For investment IN
the liberty bonds. while mark OF
patriotism. is not an exhibition Of lib
crafty or generosity.
Il is an act dictated not only by love
of country. Of home and OF humanity.
but BY solid business sense and Judge
ment.
The liberty bonds are 4 good invest,
ment. Backed by the solemn pledge OF
the richest government In the world,
they are to be repaid after either ff-
teen or thirty years and In the mean
time the owner is to receive interest
on the amount OF his investment at the
rate of Sih per cent per annum.
These bonds are valuable asset in
financial sense, and badge of
patriotism. The owner OF liberty
bond is performing share of his ma
ton's task in the name of humanity.
He is furnishing a portion Of the
money which must be disbursed to pay
the cost Of a war in which the civilized
nations of the earth are aligned against
the most merciless and most con-
scfenceless enemy of liberty the world
ever has produced.
Today the plans are being formulat-
ed for Wapello county's liberty bond
campaign No matter how small your

ALABAMA JUSTICE.

A recent disnatch from Alabama
brings the intelligence that Selma
policeman was sentenced and served
one second in the county Jail for the
murder Of a negro. The sheriff and
the policeman entered the jail; the
sheriff locked the door, reversed the
key and they walked out again.
According to Alabama law, as
viewed. apparently, by at least one
Judge, this farce expfated the violent
death Of one man at the hands Of an
other. No information regarding the
killing of the negro is before US, but
the laws on murder and granddaughter
are carefully drawn and 1t is a safe
presumption that if the policeman had
killed his victim in self-defense no
Alabama jury would have convicted
him OF murder or of any other crime.
Not long ago some 1000 or 5000
white residents Of Tennessee took a
holiday and burned negro who had
confessed a revolving crime. The
courts and peace officers winked at
this as at so many other instances OF
the southerner's defiance of law and
legal justice.
1t is a strange code that permits the
southern white man to show such ut
ter disregard for the statutes and
their majesty and such apparently un-
governable Indignation toward the
black man when the latter exhibits a
similar lack Of respect for laws no
more clearly defined.
We have no patience with the south
ern gentleman who gloats over the
superiority of his race and then dis.
graces that race by indulging in out
lawry

A SAFE INVESTMENT.

Ottumwa's campaign for the sale OF
liberty bonds Is in progress, and there
are dozens OF reasons why Ottumwans
should invest in these securities.
First, because the government
needs the money. 1t needs 1t to lend
to our allies In the war: they need 1t
to buy. right here in America. NUM-
tons for their armies and food for
their people. So disbursed, 1t con-
tinues In circulation in America, adds
to this country's prosperity and the
volume of profitable employment. and
serves to swing to this side of the At
lantic the balance Of financial power
in the world.
When you bury liberty bond you
are doing something to hasten the end
OF the war and bring about a victory
for your country and your allies.
When you buy a liberty bond you
are serving notice on the Prussian
kaiser that his career Of butchery and
outrage is doomed. that autocracy is
doomed and that democracy Is deter
mined to rescue the peoples he has
oppressed.
But there is the personal aspect of
liberty bond buying, too.
The patriotic appeal could have
been made as strongly for donations
from the public to huge war fund.
If your country asked you to give IT a
sum of money, your patriotism would
demand that you undergo sacrifice to
meet the demand
But the liberty bond purchase is by
no means donation. 1t Is an invest
ment in security which cannot be
surpassed on the score OF stability.
Behind each liberty bond is the sol
emn promise of the United States
government to repay the face of the
loan in fifteen or thirty years and to
pay. in the meantime, interest at the
rate of 3lh per cent a year.
"As safe as government bonds" has
