BE BRIEF

The next time you are asked
some sympathetic disciple of the Kali
ser's policies, "What are we fighting
for?" be very brief in replying to
him, and say that we are fighting to
whip h out of Germany and that
we are not going to quit until the job
is done and done right.
It's a waste Of time to try to give
details and reasons to the man who
asks such a question at this late day.
1t makes no difference to him what
Germany has done. The fact that
Germany made war upon us has been
passed by unnoticed by him. The fact
that Germany has treated our country
like an enemy country since the be-
ginning of the war in 1914 has like
wise been overlooked. While evidence
sufficient and impartial shows that for
years Germany has tried to build up
within this country communities more
layal to itself than to America, while
pro-German publications have been
supported, strikes organized, manu-
featuring industries blown up by Their
spies, plots against our safety with
other nations attempted by her diplo-
mats, our citizens murdered on the
high seas, our rights guaranteed by
treaty have been trampled in the dust,
these and many other acts equally as
dastardly are passed by unnoticed by
few "kaiserites" who persist in
blandly asking what are we fighting
FORT"
A nation inspired by the motives
that led Germany to set aside peace
and substitute a war which has con-
verified broad area of territory into
living hell shows that we have some
thing to work on.-Jackson Cash

FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE


People threatened with prairie or
forest fires long ago learned the trick
of saving themselves from incinera-
ton by setting backfire against the
advance of the devouring element.
When the oncoming blaze met the
burned section its lack of fuel forced
it to stop. This is true in more things
than fighting material fire. 1t applies
also to demagogical propaganda. The
enemies of the United States within
it's borders have long been setting dis
loyal fires among the dry finder Of
industrial discomfort. They have or
ganized alleged workmen's societies
and peace leagues with the object of
convincing the nation that conserva-
tive thought and industrial force were
against this war and against Amer
lean participation in the rescue of
democracy. They have insinuated
their agents into sincere labor So
cieties and urged them on to indis-
Greet and even unlawful acts, pre-
tending that all of it was a popular
protest against the governments pol
icy. They have not met with fiatter-
ing ouCCSSS III ILLS clluCdNOIy DuI tiiOy
have succeeded better than they
ought. The nation is just now getting
its eyes open to the extent and pow
er of this insidious peril.
But we can bacllfre, and that is
what has been accomplished by the
organization of the American ALI
ance for Labor and Democracy. If
our enemies can organize in our
midst to defeat democracy and human
liberty, we can likewise organize to
protect the same. This new society
has for its leading planks the sup
preston of disloyalty, the solidifica-
ton of labor in behalf of loyalty, and
the CONSUMPTION of wealth as well as
men for the prosecution of the war.
There are many other good things in
its declaration of principles, but these
three issues are the central ideas. And
for its head it has chosen that cou-
rageous leader of industrialism, Sam
uel Gompers. 1t can be no longer in
situated that American labor is SYM
pathetic with pro-German feeling or
that the workingman is in any way
deficient in patriotic determination
AS for Mr.. Gompers, he has made his
mistakes, but he has always been
found fighting the battles of labor
and in his new role as leader of this
organization no one can say he is not
following = consistent and patriotic
course. All hail to Gompers and long
live the Alliance for Labor and De-
mocracy.

British Columbia, which, on the LIST
of October, falls into line as "dry''
territory, leaves California as the on
ly refuge on the saloon on the Pa
cific Coast, north of the Mexican
boundary. Alaska, Oregon and Wash
ington, with British Columbia added,
form the strong line of defense. But
California, although still without
Statewide prohibition, is rapidly be-
coming "dry" territory. 1t is said
that few of the States which have not
enacted prohibitory laws have as many
saloonless cities as California. With
Just a little patience, the entire pro-
cess of elimination will be completed

WHY 1 TRADE AT HOME

/ trade at home and never roam
Seeking bargains" elsewhere;
| love the town in which live
For my interests are there.
And then, again, buy from friends,
We all need one another
When run short / can approach
My dealer as brother.
When buying here with conscience
clear,
/ put my money down,
know it stays right here and works
For the welfare of my town.
Another thing right here l bring
The produce that raise,
And always get an honest deal
I've found out that it pays.
When here buy l can rely
On what my dealer sells,
He stands in back of all his goods,
/ believe just what he tells.
And then know when buying here
1t helps things to relax,
And also helps the man who pays
His portion Of the tax.
And when Pm sick or in i'll luck
The man buy from's here
With his pocketbook, if need be,
And kindly words Of cheer.
So that is why l trade at home
Pm a booster through and through
For a town that's good to live in
Is good to buy in, too.
Boost Pennington and boost YOU
