MURPHY CLEARED ON
DRUNKENNESS CHARGE
Painter Arrested With Three Others
Found Not Guilty by JUS
tiCc SWain--Case At
tracts Crowd.

Harry Murphy, one OF quartet
arrested by Chief OF Police Shorty"
Uarter Saturday evening in a shack
on Grand street and charged with
drunkenness, was adjudged not
guilty by Justice William Swain aft
er a trial which attracted crowd
OF court fans that filled every seat
in the big council room Tuesday aft
ernoon. The case was prosecuted by
City Attorney d. c. Dow, while At
torney Nj, S. lamar appeared for
the defendant Several witnesses
we're called to give testimony.
Chief of Police Harter testified
that Murphy, while not under the
influence of liquor to so great an
extent as the other members of the
quartet. was nevertheless drunk.
This testimony was substantiated by
Mayor John w. Mathews, who as
sisted in the raid. Mayor Mathews
stated that he was called on the tel
ephone by Il woman Saturday even
ing who claimed that four men were
in drunken condition. He i'm
mediately got in touch with the chief
of police and the two entered the
shack where the quartet had gone.
He testified that three of the men
were lying on the floor and the 9TH
er was sitting on a buggy bed with
his head in his hands. Mayor
Mathews described the condition of
the shack as filthy dirty, with prac-
tically no furniture and dirty blank
cts on the floor. lie claimed that
all OF the men were drunk, some of
them almost helpless.
On examination by Attorney ia
mar the defendant claimed not to
have taken a drink for "a heours
and stated that to the best of his
knowledge none of the men who
came to visit him at the shack were
in drunken condition. He stated
that he worked for G. A. Mcdonald
until $3.50 or 4 o'clock Saturday aft
ernoon and then went to the shack,
which he had rented from Walker
Struppler, to do some work.
About five o'clock, according to his
testimony, the three other men, who
were his friends came to visit him,
and a short while later the officers
appeared and made the arrests. Ex-
animation by d. c. Dow failed to
shake the testimony Murphy stated
that he rented the place intending
to bring his parents here to live with
him and had already started to make
repairs to the building.
\ statement by the defendant that
he had asked permission to see an
attorney while he was being taken
to the city Jail was denied by Mayor
Mathews.
The charges against Buck"
Smith and Pagan were changed to
state charges of yagrancy A hear
ing will be given the two men today,
with Attorney Dow appearing for the
prosecuting attorney Sam Chris
tian, the fourth member of the quar-
tet, entered a plea of guilty before
Justice Henry Monday morning and

LEAVE A FEW NEST EGGS

The men who have opposed everything that this country
has done during the wal are now pretending that thew are so
anxious about it that they want to tax the country double
what is proposed. They want to extract four billions a wear
III taxes, III addition to the regular taxes. Their proposition
Is a denial OF patriotism as we'll as business sense TO begin
with, for while they pretend to be anxious to lay the burden
on the so-called rich, they ought to know that all such burdens
are eventually spread over all the people. 1t is the same peo-
pie who eventually provide all the taxes-and that is all the
people together, no matter in what demagogical methods taxes
may be laid. There is no escape from such conclusions, ex-
cept In the minds of dishonest men who play the game of poll
ties. we shall not undertake to say how such taxes should be
distributed so as to bear most equitably on all, but we do be-
leve that two billions additional taken out of the business of
the country in one year, even in times of war, is enough of an
imposition. While we are taxing now we should bear in mind
that we will have more taxing to do, that we shall have to levy
taxes for this war for a decade or two to come and for such
future needs and necessities and purposes it is well to leave a
nest egg or two.

WHAT C SAID

That there is nothing new under the sun is proved by
letter that Abraham Lincoln wrote to Erastus Corning when the
civil war was at its height, as follows:
He who dissuades one man from volunteering or in
duces one soldier to desert weakens the Union cause as
much as he who kills a Union soldier in battle.
The man who stands by and says nothing when the
peril of his government is discussed cannot be misun-
derstood. If not hindered he is sure to help the enemy
much more it he talks ambiguously, talks for his country
with 'but" and ifs and lands"
We still have the men who use the "ifs," the butts" anC
the "ands"-and whenever you find one Of that kind set hin
down as not a good American. The man who says he is ar
American, "but," or who says the he is for America, "if" is ly
ing to you. He is not an American at heart, not at all. No mar
who is heart and soul for America uses any such modifying
words. He is straight out and straight away with it.
And it is still as true as it was when Lincoln wrote it that he
who dissuades a man from enlisting or induces a soldier to de-
sert is still a bastard.

SAVE FOR YOUR COUNTRY"

Early in the summer" the puzzle workers, rebus solvers and
others who take a delight in that form of diversion got out their
pencils and tried to figure How much is a bilion?" The ques-
ton arose out of the campaign for the first Liberty Loan, which
amounted to S2OOO,OOO,OOO. Now the country is girding itself
up for the stupendous task of raising $11 ,OOO,OOOOOO, perhaps
more. and the puzzle workers will again has an opportunity to
exercise their penchant for cerebrating over large figures.
But the men charged with the task of making the loan a
success, for putting it over" have a problem before them
which will call for exercises quite different from those that di-
vert the amateur mathematicians. If the loan is to be a sue
cess facile figurers and all other patriots in the country will
have to Join up" and help, The men in charge of the loan
have called for suggestions that will be helpful in the cam
paign that is shortly to be inauSurated, and in doing SO they
have provided a real opportunity for mental exercise. AS in
teresing as the question, chow much is a bilion?" is, the ques-
ton Glow is eleven billion to be raised?" is much more inter-
esting, and much more difficult of solution.
Eleven billion dollars is a staggering sum of money. 1t
represents approximately a third of the estimated annual gross
income of the country prior to the outbreak of the war. 1t is
equal to approximately half of the debt contracted by Great
Britain during the three years of the great war.
We are a great and wealthy people. We can afford to
spend five dollars every time Great Britain spends a dollar, and
eleven, twenty or a hundred billions could be raised if either
of the higher amounts were necessary to the winning OF the
war. Our ability to afford large sums, and the method by
which they are to be raised are two distinct matters. We can
afford it, but how are we going to get together? We must be
shown that it is necessary before we will undertake to endure
~hardships, privations and sacrifices, and that is the task that the
committees in charge of raising the next loan have taken upon
themselves, and in the fulfllment of which they have asked
The cooperation of the rebus workers and all others.
We must make our sacrifices voluntary sacrifices, or else
the government will be forced to compel them. We must re-
member that what the government can't persuade out of us for
investment in four per cent bonds 1T can take out OF us IN taxes,
and that is the alternative. We can make the sacrifice with
the prospect of the bread coming back to us or we can be
forced into the sacrifice, and get nothing.
If taxes are resorted to the money of the rich alone will not
suffice. All will have to be taxed, and taxed heavily, and what
is more the money will be taken in a lump. If we buy bonds
we will get our money back, and be able to spread the pay
ments over a long period. The time to begin is now, and the
slogan is "Save, Save, Save, for your Country"

THINGS WE CANNOT CONDONE

There can be no conformation of the things that Germany
has done to win the war. In no possible peace treaty can such
a thing as conformation be written, unless the innocent of such
outrages want to write infamy on their own brows. France
and Belgium and Serbia must never be asked to condone what
Germany has done, and they can never forget it. In America
we condoned the sinking of the Lusitania with it's eighty-four
mothers with children, but we cannot and did not condone
1t morally. The brand of infamy must not be lifted from such
acts. 1t must remain there and those who have been guilty OF
such things must suffer for them. Those who are Officially
guilty are the men who constitute the kaisers government, and
to us 1T is hard to see how any self-respecting nation can
make a peace with that gang of nation murderers. 1t may be
possible that no revenge is possible for such acts and such
atrocities; it is possible that those guilty Of foisting them on
the world can never be adequately punished for them. But OF
one thing we must be certain, and that is that by no written
word or verbal word shall such things be condoned and mad
to appear as If they, were not. No, that cannot be, and the
moral sense of the world will not permit it to be

Austria has every right to arise and proclaim itself the goat
of the HOhenZOllerns-Bute Miner.


The question of whether the United States government
should engage in a policy of paying for advertisements in the
newspapers has been much agitated of late, especially in re-
gard to the selling of Liberty Loan bonds. This being a strictly
money matter the question comes up more squarely in connec-
ton with it than with registration, food conservation or other
governmental matters given publicity.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has issued a statement
dealing with this matter. After referring to the great amount
of advertising periodically given to the Liberty Loan bonds in
the first campaign by newspapers and other advertising agen-
cies, and by banks and other concerns and by individuals, the
secretary contradicts the impression that the government in the
first Liberty Loan campaign asked for free advertising or paid
for any advertising in the newspapers. The great success of
the loan he attributes in a very great degree to the voluntary
and patriotic work and advertising space periodically given
free to the government.
While acknowledging the tremendous value of advertising
the secretary points out that the relation of the government to
the press and to the public generally is such that the question
of paid advertising by it presents a problem very much more
complex than it would be to a private enterprise. The govern
ment cannot use the same thorough discrimination as to the
mediums it should use, but would be obliged to be thoroughly
democratic and impartial and the cost of such an undertaking
able under the existing law.
The secretary. however, states that the matter is being very
carefully considered, but a decision cannot be arrived at until a
better knowledge is had as to the cost of the campaign and I'M
by congress.

KICKING AUSTRIA UPSTAIRS

What has happened on the Italian front is as bright from
the allied viewpoint as that on the Russian front is dark. The
Italians have been doing by far the most significant fighting
since the middle of the present year-and we say this without
undertaking what the French have done before Verdun or the
British in the environs of Lens. The Italian campaign that is
still under way has been brilliant in generalship and magnifi-
cent in the heroism and endurance of the fighting forces. And
we must cease to think of the Italian line as a little side affair.
1t has a length of $50 miles and most of it is broken up by
plaeaus and mountains. We still boast of Lookout Mountain
In the civil war, but in this war the Italians have fought a
score of such battles on mountains that out-towered Lookout.
The Italians have literally kicked their enemies upstairs,
ana the stairs are high as mountains. There has been no
harder lighting in even this war of all wars. We have before
called attention to these facts, but they are worth reiterating,
for many Americans still look upon the Italian affair as a side
issue. On the contrary, it is a stupendous affair and it may be
the decisive one, after all. When they get the Austrians dis.
lodged, when they hold the places of vantage which their enc
mics have held, what may not the Italian army do to the Aus
trian army, next spring, if not this fall?

are proceeding and have already proceeded to do their full
share by assisting in the repairing of damages in the devastated
countries. American Quaker organizations were among the
first on the scenes in France and Belgium with relief and re-
cuperation. And there is plenty that the good Ouakers can dc
