A PEOPLES WAR

"The great fact that stands out
above all the rest is that this is a
Peoples War, war for freedom and
justice and self-government amongst
all the nations Of the world, a war
to make the world safe for the peoples
who live upon it and have made it
their own, the German people them
selves included; and that with us rests
the choice to break through all these
hypocracies and patent cheats and
masks Of brute force and help set the
world free, or else stand aside and let
it be dominated long age through
by sheer weight of arms and the ar
bitrary choices of self-constituted
by the nation which can main
tain the biggest armies and the most
irresistible armamcnts-a power to
which the world has afforded no paral-
lei and in the face of which political
freedom must wither and perish. -
Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States.

DEMOCRACY VS.. EFFICIENCY

President"Wilson laid down Amer
ica's platform in the war with the
words ito make the world safe for
democracy"-the most high, noble and
idealistic aim ever nation had in en-
tering the lists of battle The Unit
ed States has taken up arms to fight
for democracy against autocracy.
As the conflict becomes more closely
joined and the realization takes a
firmer hold in our minds that the bur
den of the war must eventually fall
upon this country, we see that there
is another meaning to this struggle.
America democracy, committed by
its very existence and ideals to the
arts Of peace-is engaged in deadly
combat with the most highly organ
lied national machine in the history
of the world. German efficiency was
well recognized by all peoples before
the breaking Of the storm Of 1914, and
pointed to as an example to be emulat-
ed. Now, this efficiency-this single
ness of purpose and power of concen-
tration which placed German science
and industry on a high pinnacle-has
bCCli Wv II kEu ~ LiIE d. 70 VI war ItE-
many is just as efficient at war as at
peace. 1t is this power that menaces
the world today. 1t is this power that
America must overcome if it is to
make democracy safe.
1t would seem that the crisis today
is the test of efficiency. The battle
is against autocracy but it is also
against efficiency. And until Amer
lea is in position to meet the task
efficiently the event will be uncertain.
Our country and our people are to
a certain extent awakening to these
facts. The government is making
progress-haltingly, some Of us will
say-but we must remember in our
criticism that we have an entire ma
tional frame Of mind to make over;
and the people, through such agencies
as the National Security League and
the Federal Committee of Public In
formation, are coming to a knowledge
of the seriousness of the situation and
its exigencies. May the awakening
proceed with haste! america eff
Gent" is the only password which
will open the doors of victoryl

IMPORTANT TO YOU

Owing to the continued high price
of news print paper, The Times is
compelled to make some modifca-
tons in the plan Of sending out this
paper. Heretofore it has been sent
to all those whom we believed to be
responsible, for a limited time. But
this plan must be changed somewhat,
in order that the management may
continue to pay bills promptly.
Statements will be sent to all who
may be in arrears, even though it
may be only week, or whose time is
just expiring, calling attention to the
condition Of your subscription, and the
statement will be made out for a year
in advance, so that if the weekly visits
Of the paper is desired to be continued,
the subscription must be paid in ad-
vance.
In other words, beginning with the
first of October, subscriptions must
be paid in advance. or the paper will
be discontinued to your address. At
that time it is our intention to cut
off all delinquents, and thereafter to
stop the paper when the time paid for
has expired. At S1.00 a year, for a
paper the size of The Times, advance
payment is necessary, and even then
there is no profit in subscriptions
1t may also be necessary soon to ad-
vance the subscription price of this
paper to $3.50 year, as many other
and smalle1 papers have already done.
But that matter will be taken up when
we reach it. In the meantime we
would insist that all those who may
know themselves to be in arrears on
subscription to The Times-the date
to which you are paid appears Oppo-
site your address-renew at once. Ad-
vance payment now will give you the
benefit of the raise in the subscription
price that will probably 90 on at an
early date.
AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT
ALL DELINQUENT 3 SUBSCRIP-
TIONS WILL BE DISCONTINUED
ON, OR SOON AFTER, OCT. 1ST,
1917.

THE USES OF THE
LIBERTY LOAN

It is a mistaken notion that all Of
the money raised by the sale Of the
Liberty Loan Bonds which Is to be
used for war purposes will be an even
tual loss to the Uutred States and its
people; that Il is all 10 be spent for
things used up in war or useless eZ-
cept- for purposes Of war. It is well
10 remember that great deal Of the
money raised by the sale Of Liberty
Loan Bonds is 10 be invested in things
that viii be Of great use TO the nation
when peace shall be declared.
One thing that most people realize
viii be Of value is that it is going to
put this nation in a state Of prepared
ness. While it is hoped and believed
that the end Of this war will be the
ending Of all great wars it will be a
valuable thing TO America to find her
self at its close prepared to enforce
the just DEGREES Of peace. There may
be a twilight zone between the close
Of this war and the establishment Of
peace all over the world and prepared
ness will place America in a position
to have that voice in the world af
fairs that this nation is worthy Of.
We know that voice will be for peace
ard justice and freedom.
Millions are to be spent in the con-
struction Of merchant. ships and these,
at least those that escape destruc-
ton in war, will be a valuable invest
ment. There will be a tremendous de-
mand for merchant ships when peace
comes and, whether the United States
continues to own and operate this
merchant marine or whether the ships
are sold to private individuals, the
money invested in them by the United
States viii be no loss to the nation.
It may be great gain to it. In the
revival Of foreign commerce, in the
contest for foreign markets, the Unit
ed States will no longer be at the
mercy Of foreign ship owners. We
can do our own carrying trade and our
commerce will have a fair chance in
the foreign markets.
Billions Of this money raised by the
sale Of Liberty Loan Bonds have been
and are to be loaned to those European
nations engaged in war with Germany.
This is no expenditure without return.
Il is an investment and it is an in
vestment that no one will say is inse-
cure. 1t will not only bring a return
in interest and a return Of the princi-
pal when due but it has brought to US
a regard and friendship with those
nations the value Of which in dollars
cannot be estimated
The war is going to be expensive;
it is going to call for sacrifices on the
part Of the nation and on the part Of
the individuals composing the nation.
Much wealth is going to be shot out
Of the mouth Of guns and cannols,
and much is going to be sunk at sea,
but all Of the money used for war pur-
purposes is not going to be financial
loss to the nation. America will
emerge from the war not only with
her honor and greatness ard power in
creased, but she will emerge better
fitted for the struggles Of commerce
when peace comes and much Of the
money spent for war purposes will be
equally valuable if not more valuable
in time of peace.

ABUSING FREE SPEECH

Before our nation actually enters
upon war, it is perfectly right and
proper to discuss the wisdom of enter
ing upon war; but when Congress ac-
tually decides upon war then further
discussion is closed. After that step
is taken, it should not be permitted
anyone TO clothe attacks upon his gov
eminent, or to aid the enemy, under
the claim that he is exercising freedom
Of speech. And this applies to at
tacks on the Allies, as well as to at
tacks upon the United States. We
can no more allow our allies to be
crushed than we can afford to be
crushed ourselves.
The above thoughts were started by
things that have ben constantly ap-
pearing, and which continue to ap-
pear, in certain Of our exchanges, as
well as verbal remarks we have heard,
or which has come to US, as having
been made by certain parties. We
say "parties" advisedly," as the edi-
tors nor the other parties referred to,
as continuing to make yelled threats
or attacks upon the government, are
not good citizens, whether they may
be by birth or naturalization or not.
The Times would advise all parties,
in the least degree guilty Of such
damnable conduct, that it would be
we'll for them to hold themselves I'M
der better control, else they may be put
where their mutterings will no longer
be heard. Many of them are perhaps
already on the Suspect" list, and are
liable to be caught up at any time
This country is now at war, and war
conditions must be observed.

1t begins to look like the price of
coal will be forced down in time for
the plain, ordinary citizen to keep his
family from freezing to death next
winter. The attorney generals of
most of the different States, as well as
the Federal government, has taken a
hand in the game against the coal ba-
rons, and the present prospects are
that the old shark will be forced to de-
liver a square deal. Either that, or
else the different States will take
charge of his mines and operate them
as they would be operated. A "shin-
ing example" should be made of a
few of those brigands who persist in
holding up the people for robber prof
its, especially in times like these,
when stringent measures are usually
invoked.

III" ii u LHe
Missouri river. The breed has been
tried out in more than one section and
In every instance the performance was
satisfactory in every respect TO those
whose money was involved. Ny own
experience with these cattle has, how.
ever, been on what are popularity
known as the Y. I. 7. Ranches in
Texas, owned by the Capitol Syndicate.
Up to and including 1892 there were
purchased for the X. I. 7. ranges, not
far from 5000 bulls, of which Aher-
deen-Angus comprised not quite ii per
cent, Herefords, about so per cent, and
Shorthorns not quite 80 per cent. and
small proportion of Aberdeen-Angus
was due to the fact that until a few
years previous it was a breed compare
lively unknown in this country. Its
numbers were inconsiderable and bulls
were hard to get, selling at much
higher figures than those of any other
breed.
Originally the X. I. t. Ranch com.
prised 100000 acres of land in the
Panhandle of Texas. The cattle with
which it was stocked came largely
from the country tributary to the
Texas {. Pacific Ry. and were Of bet
ter average quality than those COM
mon to the country. About the early
nineties most of the bulls purchased
were purebreds, and after 1892 moth
ing but purebreds were bought. The
range, averaging about 200 miles north
and south and % miles east and west,
and being all fenced and cross-fenced,
offered good opportunities to test the
three breeds under practically similar
conditions and, after a few years, the
pastures in which each were kept be-
gan to show the respective breed char
acteristics. Every year, by careful Sc
lection of breeding bulls and careful
culling of undesirable females-unde-
sirable owing to color or quality-the
herds rapidly assumed to all appear
ances the quality and character of
purebreds. When this experiment was
begun the Shorthorn breed was well
known by reputation in the Southwest.
They had been tried previously in the
section from which the foundation
she-stock had been purchased and

GOING AFTER THE COAL TRUST
Aftar,o,, Haaa,al NJ A1I:zAu = -,

Attorney General McAllister is now
prosecuting a vigorous investigation
of the coal trust and is developing
some startling facts. He is going
about his work in thoroughly prac-
teal manner and we predict that
when he gets through with that bunch
of pirates and highwaymen they will
be willing to be good for the next gen.

Missouri will not be considered
desirable place for the formation of
pools, combinations, trusts or agree
ments to mulct and rob the people

THINKS WE WILL HAVE BETTER
TRADE RELATIONS IN JAPAN

TOXIC, March 19.-That the break
ing off of diplomatic relations between
the United States and Germany will De
factor in promoting trade coopera-
ton and generally better relations be-
tween the United States and japan, is
the view expressed by Kiyoshi Nakas-
hoji, the Minister of Agriculture and
Commerce. Mr.. Nakashoji was one OF
a number of business and financial
leaders interviewed by the Japanese
press on the probable effects of the
stand taken by America. Many diverg-
ent views were expressed, but none Of
the men interviewed foresaw any econ
omic damage to Japan in the new world
situation.
Mr.. Nakashoji expressed the opinion
that the break between the United
States and Germany would strengthen
the Anglo Japanese alliance and that
this fact, together with the new spirit
of cooperation, will result in the
smooth working of enterprises for the
development of China.
1t is beyond doubt, the minister said,
that the rupture will mean greater
prosperity for Japan's trade, as the
Pacific and Indian Oceans will be the
only sea routes in the world free Of
danger from enemy submarines. Mr..
