LIBERTY BONDS PREFERRED
STOCK.

Likening the United States to
a great corporation with more
than a hundred million stock
holders and with capital stock
and resources Of more than two
hundred fifty billion Of dollars
and an annual income Of fifty
billions Of dollars, each American
citizen is a stockholder in this
great corporation Even those
whose only assets are their earn
ing capacity own shares in our
public domain and property and
are working on a proft-sharlng
basis with vote and a voice in
the management Of the corpora
ton and with the right to ac-
quire more stock at any time.
A liberty loan bond may be llk-
ened to a share Of preferred stock
in this gigantic corporation. Like
preferred stock in other corpora
tions, it may not return at times
so large a dividend as common
stock. but the dividend from it
is certain and sure. It is stock
that pays 312 per cent dividend,
but the stock and dividend can
not be taxed; and while crop
failures may decrease the farmer S
dividend from his land some years
to less than nothing, and various
causes may lessen or destroy di-
vidends from all other sorts Of
property, the dividend from the
liberty loan bond is certain di-
aninutfon.
The owner Of a liberty loan
bond holds written tangible evi-
dence of being a preferred stock
holder in the United States, the
greatest, the most glorious, the
most honorable, and most sue
cessful corporation in the world
He holds the certificates Of beins
a citizen willing to support his
government and to lend money t,
his country when it needs it anC
calls for it.
These is honor in being the
owner Of a liberty loan bond a
well as profit.

up the nation. It can be seen at

up the nation. It can be seen at
a glance that this can never be
even approximately distributed
among the masses. Possibly few
more billions may be secured
through popular subscription, but
the great bulk Of the required
means must come, as our contem-
porary suggests, from those who
are making money out OF the war.
If the war continues for even
two years longer there will be
fortunes made that will dwarf
any the world has yet seen, pro
yided business is allowed to take
it's hitherto uninterrupted course.
While it is true we will spend
prodigious amounts, it IS equally
true that we will make fabulous
amounts. The allied nations are
practically at our mercy for food
and other supplies. Huge revenues
are constantly coming from that
source. Not a dollars worth OF
any commodity that can be used
by man need go to waste in the
United States for want of a for
eign market.
It is up to our government to
correctly analyze the situation and
place the burdens Of taxation to
meet these great national expendl-
lures upon the shoulders Of those
who benefit by war prices.
Will our law makers arise to
the occasion and make an equita-
BILE adjustment Of these burdens
Along with some very common,
we have some really good timber
in our national legislature, and
it is to be hoped that this material
will insist upon a reasonable and
lust basis for working out this
momentous question.

HOW WILL IT BE RAISED?

In discussing the question Of
raising the enormous amounts Of
revenue necessary to be raised
even during the coming twelve
months, an exchange, after de-
monstrating the utter impossible
ty Of raising the vast amount by
taxation, and the corresponding
necessity Of resorting to bond is
sues, concludes as follows:
In sentence, unless the big
loans are balanced with heavy
taxes upon those who are making
money out Of the war, we will
rapidly and inevitably reach a
state Of financial N wa'-e+~; q
social chaos.

THE PEST HOUSE, wish to-
call your attention to some of the
conditions existing in the Chicago
jails. Last Saturday, after a week
TO hard work, I felt like having a
game of billiards with a friend. We
had no more than entered a billiard
hall at 744 N. Clark st. than the place
was pinched. About 100 of US fell
victims Of the police.
We were taken to the pest house
called the Chicago avenue police sta
ton, and we're kept there until Sun
day morning. Finally two de
receives came in to question and

ought to go into a school of instruc-
ton and learn how to deal with hui
man beings with polite, gentlemanly
and kind treatment.
In conclusion, let me say, that if
there is such a store as Helen de-
scribes, let the Herald publish its
name, so the people can patronize it,
and other stores might be induced. to
follow its example and thereby make
a happier and more contented class
Of employees. If l am wrong in my
humble opinions I shall be glad to be
corrected. - Ed J. Roach, 123 w.

TO MODEST GIRL" read
your article in The Day Book and l
wish to say that you act wisely in not
letting fellows kiss you.
These other girls will sooner or
later lose their power to charm fell
lows by allowing them this liberty,
and bet those fellows have more re-
spect for you right now than they
have for the girls who allow them
selves to be slObbeTed all over by
every fellow who comes along.
I am sure you will find a fellow
some day who does not think a kiss
essential to make the right finish for
a delightful evening.
/ think more Of a girl who does
not allow these liberties, and l am
sure you will find the right sort of a
fellow soon. They are not all like
these fellows you speak of. - One

Judge us. They had the prettiest red
noses and looked as though they had
just recovered from a two months
spree.
There was no privacy at this sta
ton. The toilets could not be used.
The stencil was terrible. I have seen
many degenerates and ignOramuses,
but none to compare. with those two
detectives.
I for one protest against such a
nuisance, and claim that every one
entering or leaving that pest house
is spreading pestilence and disease.
Let us cooperate and put the crush
er on such institutions. We want
cleanliness.-H. M.

ANOTHER SOCIAL VIEW.-So-
cialism proclaims the brotherhood Of
man; so does Christianity. Christian
ity teaches that the greatest COM
mandment is the love of God and
man. Therefore the brotherhood of
man includes the fatherhoodl of God.
How is Gin the love of God lies the
hate of man" conceivable to a logical
thinker.
Mr.. S. says: Socialism comes
closer to the teachings of Jesus than
Christianity" But those who are IA
miliar with Christianity know that
socialism has stolen it's platform Of
social justice, human brotherhood
and the value of human life from the
teachings of Christianity.
But, in spite of this fact, Mr.. S.
says: Socialism is closer to Jesus
than Christianity" Nearly all the
great movements of human progress
have their origin in the teachings Of
the lowly Nazarene, whom the COM
mon people heard gladly. When the
church of the middle ages was misled
by blind leaders and tried to "enslaye
the minds of the people," the regen-
Grafton of true Christian PrOtestant-
ism gave to the world that great in
estimable good of liberty of con-
science and thinking for all times to
come.
When you claim that the present
world struggle has proved Christians
ity- to be a failure" then please

Although the sun shone again Mon.
day in Flanders the rain had render
ed much of the territory a veritable
bog, making infantry action on a
large scale impossible for the present.
There have been, however, a num-
Der of small actions in the nature of

the big guns are keeping up their duel.
On the northern end of the front
in Russia several attacks by the Ger
mans on positions in the Riga section
have been repulsed by the Russians
who also took PRISONERS. Although
it had been anticipated that the main
committee of the German Reichstag
on Monday would discuss Germany's
war aims the debate was postponed
until Tuesday. Meanwhile the I'M
perial Chancellor has gone. on to head
quarters fact fact which may be of
some significance. Always prior to the
opening of debates and important
subjects the Chancellor has visited
main headquarters for conference
with Emperor William and field mar
shall Won Hindenburg.
The political factions in Russia at
last have come into agreement on
points which have been in dispute
between them and the government
over the forming of a cabinet and

BIG DUTCH SHIP

Washington, Oct. 8.-The determi-
nation of the of the administration to
retain control of the neutral shipping
in American waters was demonstrat-
ed Saturday. 1t was learned that the
Exports Administration Board has
fatty refused to allow the departure
of the Nieuw Amsterdam, the great
Dutch steamer, without assurances
from Holland that the ship will re-
turn to the United States.
The Amsterdam is at an Atlantic
port loaded with foodstuffs for the
Belgian Relief Commission. The
Dutch have offered their cargo en-
tirely to the Belgians, but the Ad-
ministrative board has declined to
issue the export licenses necessary to
allow her to go, demanding that the
Dutch government guarantee that she
will return to an American port.
