had at the Post Office. and cost moth

ed and cash payment Of - to %

changed for a War Savings Certificate
Stamp which will be redeemed by the
government on January l, 1928, for
five dollars.
1t is plan to save and also a plan
to aid the government A loan of on
ly 25 cents by every person in the
United States will provide the govern-
ment with $25,ooOOOO to prosecute
the war.
Of course one need not stop after
filing the book with thrift stamps and
exchanging them for War Savings

ing. The difference between the four
dollars and the few extra cents paid
now and the five dollars to be paid
by the government in 1928 represents
the compound interest to be paid on
the loan

The card not only explains tins
plan, but tells why it ought to appeal

An Education In Thrift.

one good that we ought to get out
of the present war will come from
the education of the nation in thrift
This lesson has been needed, as we
are perhaps the most extravagant

are getting will, it is to be hoped
result in the stoppage of needless
waste, and this will add immeasur-
ably to the riches of the nation IN
the future.-Albany Herald.

Y0T CAN AID BY EATING.

The ladies of the Hospital associa-
ton are this week operating a bazaer
on Lamar street where the people o.
Americas are afforded the opportun-
ity of aiding this splendid philan-
thropy-aiding by eating.
A distinguishing feature of the
bazaar is that the meals served by
these ladies are so different from
those usually found in like affairs.
The meals are both well-cooked and
ample
A ham sandwich has something be
sides faint tract of grease; an oy-
ster stew really has oysters in it; the
barbecue is just what it is supposed
to be; the coffee is like that you gel
at home; the chicken is chicken, in
stead of veal; the salad is just as
good as that served at parties; the
linen is clean; the service is prompt
and obliging, and the atmosphere is
wholesome. Besides, there are very
pretty and very attractive mattresses
for you to look at, even if you can,
talk to them.
Ii a man won't patronize this bazaar
with such inducements presented 70
him. there's something radically wrong
with him and he ought to be investi
gated

Through the news columns of our
exchanges from various sections OF
the country we are impressed with
the numerous reports of the practice
of auto drivers on the public high
ways running into and wrecking
teams and never stopping to investi-
gate the damage or injuries they have
inflicted on human beings or stock.
This is a fearful state Of affairs that
deserves immediate attention. The
idea of seriously injuring or killing
man and sailing away and leaving
hm alone on the road to meet his
fate as best he can is as bad as the
worst form of murder and deserves
punishment as such.-Thomasvil!e

WHAT CONGRESS- WILL DO.

What is Congress going to consider
during the present session, just be-
gun? What legislation is it most like
ly to enact
These are questions asked by mil
ions Of citizens who have a genuine
interest in the proceedings of the ma
tional law-maikng body
There are now pending in the two
houses nearly $4,000 bills, brought
over from the last session. Fully as
many more will be proposed between
now and time of adjournment next
summer or fall
However, lC is believed that out Of
the great, confusing mass of matters
before it, Congress is most certain to
dispose of the following issues
Declaration of war on Australian,
cary.
Appropriations of $lS,0OO,oOO, 900,
'one-third of which is estimated as
prospective loans to allies.
Amendment of the constitution 70,
nationwide prohibition. This would
require a two-thirds vote and must be
ratified by the state
Universal military training after the
war
Compulsory military training after
the war
Compulsory military service act for
alien slackers
Medals of honor bill for consplcu-
Gus service.
Budget system for government ex
pcnditures.
Trial of Senator LaFollette
Fill to appropriate $100OO0,O0O 10
build freight cars.
Legislation covering transportation
and ether railroad problems.
Webb bill to control exports
Revision of the War Revenue act.
Creation of committee to supervise
war expenditures and loans to the
allies.
Control of l. W. W. and similar or,
ganizations
only two Of the propositions above
enumerated have no connection with
the war-the proposed constitutional
amendments for equal suffrage and
national prohibition, Success for both
is fairly well assured
In all events, this session of Con
gress is going to be an important
one, requiring constant attendance of
its members and really serious study
o. many great issues.

AMERICUS Is AROUSED.

Americas is stirred now over the
prospect of securing one of the avia-
ton camps-and justly so.
The fact having been clearly estat-
lished that this city has a splendid
chance for securing one of the camps,
the citizens are aroused over the idea,
and in all circles discussion of the
possibilities of the situation is in prog
ress.
The response to the first demands
by both citizens and the city officials
is sufficient to show that in a great
opportunity like this Americas can
lay aside its personal prejudices and
differences and unite firmly and en-
Enthusiastically in a common purpose,
Fortunately for Americas, this city
has an effective working organization
in the Chamber of Commerce, -
which body and to whose officers con
siderable credit is due for having en-
gjneered the proposition so far.
The matter is one that means much
to Americas, more than can he appre
ciated at first thought The camp will
involve an expenditure of approx
mately three-quarters of a million
dollars 1t will bring about two
thousand men here. It will distrib
ute hundreds of thousands of dollars
i'll payrolls. It will mean the spend
ing Of thousands of dollars each month
for supplies. 1t will afford every
farmer in the county a market IL
certain truck supplies The location
of camp here, in fact, will affect
every phase of life in Americas and
Sumter county.
No such opportunity has come the
way of Americas since the location
here long years ago of the Seaboard
shops and headquarters. In the face
OF such chance, is it any wonder
that Americas is. stirred to its depths
and that the citizens are manifesting
a spirit of appreciation calculated t
bring success?

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

1t is inevitable that the United
States should declare war on Austria
Hungary, nation with which we are
already in "a state of war" which is
q distinction of international law little
appreciated by the laity.
But the chief feature of President
Wilson's message in which he urges
Congress to declaration of war
against the chief German ally, is his
ringing statement that there will b.
no peace, nor any thought of peace.
until Germany is absolutely whipped
The president has made it plain that
peace terms can first be preached
when three attainments have been
achieved
First-When peace proposals
from Germany come from Ger
man rulers whom the world
can trust.
Second-When ample reparation
has been made for the de-
struction of property.
When Germany yields all
territory acquired by it dur.
ing the present war through
force.
The president phrased the PROPOSE
ton in these words
Only when the German people
make it through rulers the world
can trust; when they make repa-
ration for the destruction their
present rulers have wrought and
when Germany recedes from all
the territory acquired by armed
conquest
moro emphatic pronouncement.
however was his statement about
the probability of peace He said:
Let there be no misunderstand-
ing. Our present and immediate
task is to win the war, and moth
ing shall turn us aside from it
until it is accomplished. Every
power and resource we possess.
whether of men. of money, or ma
terials, is being devoted, and will
continue to be devoted to that pur-
pose until it is achieved. Those
who desire to bring peace about
before that purpose is achieved
counsel to carry their advice else
where We will not entertain it,
We shall regard the war as won
only when the German people say
to us, through properly accred-
tied representatives that they are
ready TO agree to a settlement
based upon justice, and the repara-
ton of the wrongs their rulers
have done
This IS fighting and conclusive an
swer to those pacifists who have been
shouting Peace, peace, when there IS
no peace!" It clearly points the way

room for argument

Meeting His Maohiavel,
Who Was Lundin

At about this time he met his Ma
chiavel in the person of one Fred Lun-
din, a political handler, who had been
one Of Lorimer's gang.
People speak mysteriously of Lundin's
"hold" upon Thompson. 1t is simple
enough. Human material better suited
to the purposes of master political
intriguer could not be imagined. Here
was a man, young, rich, acceptable in
nearly all places, amiable, but morally
weak, with a purely emotional mental
ity. and thirsting for public praise.
, Lundin had long been searching for a
man possessing those qualities and
characteristics. lie could capitalize
them in the coin of practical politics.
. That was his business. He could con
troll such a man by parading constantly
before him the phantasy Of greatness.
? in short he could become the pro-
prietor of that man. lie is, indeed, the
moral and political proprietor Of
- Thompson.
q Lundin put Thompson over on Chi
u cago. i was a shrcwd piece Of work.
Everybody but Lundin was taken IN.
Thompson's first move was TO announce
that he would run for Mayor if 100000
PEOPLE signifed their wish that he
should do so. Then Lundin, whose ma
chine was ready, launched a card can
vsss. stimulated by prizes, and rolled
up in a short while 100000 signatures.
That was the beginning. Chicago want.
cd a man who should symbolic Ameri-
canism against pro-Germanism. Thomp-
con was adroitly put forward as fig
ure upon which that desire might
crystallize. IL crystallized with amaz-
ing rapidly. The man was nothing
All that seemed TO matter was what
people intended that he should mean.
Newspaperwriters treated him as hero.
The community was somewhat hysteri-
cal. The other candidate bore a Ger
man name Thompson's verbal cor
tributions TO the campaign were unim-
portant. He was elected by majority
Of 14s,OOO, and this was wildly hailed
as a victory for Americanism. Then
followed the pageant and the induc-
tjon-and a very imperfect piece of in
fantile human material was utterly
ruined.
Thompson has no intellectual mag
ination. Therefore, he cannot under
stand symbolism. He took these events
croistically. He thought everything
had happened wholly on account of his
being William Hale Thompson, where
as. in fact, that was the least cause
81 ANYTHING that did happen.

BEGINNING of the
Anti-War Crusade

So now began in Thompson's personal
organ, The Republican. a most maud
