which he faced the provOcations of
Berlin and fought for peace. And
then. confronted by the insufferahle
perfidy or stupidity Of the junker
crew. he faced the world that day
in the senate chamber with the
noblest appeal for peace that has
ever fallen from the lips of mortal
man. on that memorable occasion
he not only MADE an utterance that
will rank i'm history as one of the
few immortal political pronounce
ments of all time, but he unfurled
a banner that every devotee of
h6erty and democracy can follow
with the sword.
Wilson OF the Sword.
And this is the miracle-the mo-
ment he drew the sword the fore
most champion of peace became the
most virile. far-seeing. energetic,
constructive militant figure that ever
led America against a foe.
He had the courage 10 proclaim
the passing of the volunteer and TO
demand CONSUMPTION that can reach
the rich and poor alike. and make
ii possible TO utilize the service of
each man where it can best contrib

THE Liberty loan is the transla-

Because this war is for liberty
and democracy and not for gain,
Woodrow Wilson said that no buzz
yards of greed. no mercenary clip
pers of coupons, no spectators on
nations necessities shall hover
over the dead and dying of the bat
tie field and lick their chops in an
ticipation of their profits And he
went to the people for the loan-to
the end that the people may reap
the profit with the loss. And he
made it easy for the man i'm the fac
tory and mine TO contribute 10 the
loan and share i'm the profit.
Thomas jefferson gave MS po-
liticaI democracy: Woodrow Wilson
has given us financial democracy.
Thomas jefferson freed us from
the kings Of courts; Woodrow VIII
son has freed us from the kings of
the counting room.
Thomas jefferson gave us liberty.
and Woodrow Wilson gave us op-
portunity
And Woodrow Wilson did some
thing more-~he gave us the great
est secretary of the treasury since
Alexander Hamilton
