AMERICAS DUTY.

Americas duty-our duty, yours and
mine-is to buy Liberty Bonds-now.
There is the unassailable fact to
which every plea for Liberty Loan
subscription SINNERS down.
It is fact beyond the reach OF any
qufbbling. outside the question OF the
propriety of Americas participation In
the war, independent of personal con-
sideration or personal differences.
No matter what you think OF war IN
general or this war in particular, it Is
your duty to be loyal to your country.
And loyalty, today. is measured by
your readiness to subscribe to the
Liberty Loan.
It is not measured by the amount OF
your subscription. for every indtvid.
ual's financial ability must decide that
amount.
1t is, however measured by the
amount of your subscription as CON-
pared with your ability to subscribe.
Yesterday William Rockefeller OF
New York applied for $2,500.O00 worth
of Liberty Bonds. Yesterday. Mr.. A.
of Ottumwa, applied for $50 bond.
Mr.. A is just as patriotic as is Mr..
Rockefeller. His $50 purchase means
more to him, in financial way, than
does Mr. Rockefellers purchase, 500.
900 times as great.
The point is that Mr. A. has sub
scribed and is attesting his loyalty by
practicing strict economy for a While
in order to pay for his bond.
1t is his duty to buy, just as 1t is Mr..
Rockefeller's duty. And 1t Is your
duty, the same as it is theirs.
II your patriotism is not great
enough to impA you to buy a Liberty
Bond, even at the expense of skimping
and saving for a while, what kind OF
soldier DO you suppose you would
make?
Right now is the time to prove your
loyalty. The country wants to borrow
your money, in any amount from 800
to millions. 1t offers the greatest
safest security it Is possible to have;
it pays interest on the loan. AS
financial proposition. the Liberty
Bonds are the acme of safety. There
is no question and no room for doubt
on that score.
It Is a plain question Of patriotism
and duty. 1t is time for every Amer1-
can to ask himself this question:
What kind Of patriot am r

REFORMING THE BIG MUDDY.

Somewhere down in southern liz
nois among the coal fields, 1t seems,
there is a stream dignified by the title.
Big Muddy. It empties into the Mis-
sissippi after wandering along through
the coal country, and now it Is to be
used for carrying coal as we'll as mud.
The Illinois legislature has decided
to make canal out Of the Big Muddy,
using an appropriation Of $1,OOO,O0O
for the purpose. II the money is ex-
pended wisely and steers clear of jack
pots such as have in other days re-
warded Illinois faithful legislators for
voting right" there is every proba-
btlity that within few years engi'
neers and dredgers will have trans.
formed the Big Muddy from snake
like stream into an artery OF COM
MERGE Then the coal operators OF the
district will be able to reach the mar
ket more cheaply and. perhaps, the
consumers who buy their coal may get
the advantage Of lower price.
All of which serves to remind Iowa
and Iowans that they are lazily permit
ting year after year to go by without
i'm proving their opportunity for utili-
zation Of the Mississippi river for ex-
tensiye freighting. which would re-
suit in cheaper transportation rates, a
comparative independence of the rail-
roads and an opportunity for cutung
prices on many articles OF commerce.
Barge lines will be organized, cap
,tal;zed and in operation within few
wears hut their success will depend
on the number of cities along the river
which shall have prepared docks and
wharyes for the transfer Of rail and
wotar freight as we'll as local ship
ments by water.
A few Iowa points have made prepa-
rations. They will reap the MAJOR
dement's unless their sister cities pulo
river terminals, too
There are number OF ways IN
which the money can be raised. Inc
cities can issue bonds, though they
may have to obtain legislative author
ity for issues in excess of their pres
emit limits. The state can appropriate
tbe money by legislative act or can
make a contribution from It's treasury
to the cost Of oh local Improvement,
the city affected to pay the remainder.
This last method seems fair one
for Iowa as a whole would share in
the benefits, with the river points en-
loving the greatest measure OF advan-
tage.
The time will come when not only
the Mississippi but the Des Moines and
other Iowa streams will be carrying
barges. When that time will be de-
pends on the energy. the foresight and
the enterprise of Iowa legislators and
the Iowa public.

Mr.. DICKINSON MAKES GOOD.

News that the Rock Island railroad
has emerged from the receivership in
to which 1t was thrown a few years
ago by wildcat flnanciering is glad
news indeed for Iowans. The new
capital which comes into the company
no doubt will permit the improvements
in Rock Island properties which are
demanded by the big business of the
road and the congested conditions at
several of it's prominent points.
The reorganization and the material
progress OF the company under the d.
rection Of Joel M. Dickinson, former
secretary of war under William H.
Taft, testify most eloquently to the
business ability and excellent judg-
ment Of the receiver whose discharge
was ordered yesterday. No better
man. perhaps, could be chosen for
president Of the new company, and it
would be a well deserved compliment
to Mr.. Dickinson to permit him to
carry on under more favorable circum-
stances the good work he has done
while laboring against big disadvan-
|tages.
A railroad In receivers hands has
a big handicap to overcome in compel
ing with other companies for freight
and passenger business. 1t is unable
to enter into agreements for local I'M
provements as readily as its competi-
tors can because of the necessity for
obtaining court orders and approval
for. each step entailing expense. Its
stock declines and its reputation as
a progressive corporation suffers, in
ies Sn,e
But the Rock Island, for some rea-
son which probably is directly attrib-
utable to Mr.. Dickinson's genius. has
bettered its reputation as carrier
even while it's stock was seeking new
low levels and every ticket issued over
it's lines bore testimony that the com
pany was in the hands of the courts.
Physically, the road had deteriorated
greatly during the wild regime OF the
Moores, and the receiver faced task
that would have discouraged many
veteran railroad official at the outset.
He has accomplished what many
would have counted impossible in i'm
proving the company's business and
its financial condition while making
numerous major expenditures to en-
able it to handle the increased traffic.
Several ambitious plans which had
been Matched by well meaning operat-
ing officials had to be discontinued
when the company was thrown into
receivershfp. Money that had been
spent on the first stages OF some OF
these projects became dead loss.
Now they can be revived and those
which possess real merit can be car
ried to completion by the new com.
pany, with the result that it will take
its proper place among the big trunk
lines of the middle west and divide its
prosperity with the territory through
which its lines run.
