INTOLERANCE

By Whittier.
 The truth is, the notion that an in- mas is the essential condition of sal vation lies at the bottom of all intol- erance in matters of religion. Under this impression, men are too apt to forget that the great end of Christian ity is love, and that charity is it's crowning virtue; they overlook the beautiful significance of the parable of the heretic Samaritan and the orthodox Pharisee; and thus, by suffering their speculative opinions of the next world in this, they are really the worse for them, even admitting them to be true.

MISSISSIPPI AND VAROAMAN.

Among those senators Washington
classes as disloyal as interfering with
the war. is James K Vardaman OF
Mississippi Most pro-German sena
tors love the kaiser because of large
voting populations in their districts
who are of German ancestry and who,
these senators believe. are German in
sympathy. So in small way the pro.
German senator may be said to repre-.
sent a small anti-American or pacifist
section of his constituents.
But there appears to be no such
excuse for Vardaman.
Mississippis population is SO largely
black that heavier burden than most
states bear has been placed on its
white population. Nevertheless, in
many Mississippi communities the
selective service act is imperative
BECAUSE THE ENTIRE QUOTA
HAS BEEN FILLED BY VOLUN.
TIERS.
Moreover, the brand OF loyalty in
Mississippi generally, seems to be of
the superior kind. Everywhere in the
state the people are aroused to the
necessity of doing their hit. And they
are doing it.

LIE BROKEN PROMISE.

"You said you'd take me to the
movies, You said you would. You
said you would" screamed child as
his mother yanked him into a down
town street car.
"Sit there! and keep still" COM
manded the mother. And she plunked
him down hard on seat.
"You said you'd take me to the
movies! You promised! Now you're
taking me homc!" howled the five
year-old. Then he proceeded to have
such a tantrum as is possible only
when ii child is habitually misman-
aged. And what is so futile as the
rage of child when parent has
broken promise?
"lll spank you if you don't STOP
warned the mother. And spank him
she did. As a public performance the
operation was unique. When it had
proved effective, the mother settled
back complaccntly as one conscious OF
a duty well done.
"What a dreadful child" whispered
thOughtlesS people to each other.
'W'hat dreadful mother!" said
the thoughtful to themselves.
The mother was young. extremely
handsome, and stunningly dressed.
The child was a splendid type, but
he was losing his chances of growing
into splendid man because his moth
er did not know that motherhood is
vocation, that children deserve quite
as much study as fashion plates, and
that they are a credit or disgrace
as their parents make them.

LIBERTY BONDS An INVESTMENT
~ The appeal 10 the people to sub
scribe to the liberty loan is based on
sound business reasons as well as
patriotism.
The ordinary citizen, with small
savings, can make no better invest
ment. Banks have been known to
fail; corporations, whose stock is sup
posed to be gilt-edged, have suffered
business depression; real estate has
deprecated; owing to change in the
tide of the city's life. All forms OF
investing money have some element
of hazard.
In liberty loan bonds there is abso
lutcly no risk. Each bond is the prom
Use OF the United States government
backed BY, the entire might and
wealth of the nation. This makes
the bonds the safest investment in the
world. ="
At one and the same time each
American who buys these bonds helps
his country win this war for a right
cous cause, and places his money
where it is safe and will work fol
him.
Every man or woman anxious tC
save for the rainy day, or for inactive
old age, should invest in liberty loar
bonds.
Every man or woman anxious tc
give the child Of the family an educa
ton or a nest-egg some years hence
should invest in liberty loan bonds
Every man or woman DESTROYS Of

Editors Note: This is the sec
Ond in series Of arguments pre-
pared at the suggestion of Mr..
II. p. Goddard.

I. BY subscribing to the liberty
loan your are protecting the credit
of the United States government, and
you are protecting your own credit,
you are protecting your own bust
ness, you are protecting every inter-
est you have in life and property.
2. Are you not patriotic enough,
even though you have no money laid
away, to deny yourself some luxuries
or to work little harder and save a
dollar or two week, purchasing a
bond on the installment plan?
8. The efficiency of the men at the
front-your boy maybe-depends up
on the support you give this loan. He
needs your dollars more than any
thing else.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
LIBERAL BUYERS
Of LIBERTY BONDS

Mandan, Oct. 17.-R. S. tombstone,
chairman Of the Mandan liberty loan
committee, today stated that up to
the present time there is about $780,
600 subscribed in Mandan. That the
$l50,00O mark will be reached in Man
dan there seems to be little question.
That is $4,000 over the allotment.
The Morton county liberty loan com
mittee, OF which w. A. Lantcrman is
chairman, advises that the county will
over-subscribe its allotment by fully
100000. Incomplete reports show
that German settlements are subscrib-
ing freely to the bond issue.
Chairman J. n. Newton. district
chairman Of the Twelfth judicial dis;
trict, stated last evening that he was
unable to give any additional infor-
nation for publication other than he
was confident that his district will
subscribe to it's allotment wilfully and
that it will over-subscribe it's allot-
ment to a considerable extent.
The Mandan committees today will
work the territory near Mandan among
the farmers. Last eve lil:, the cOun-
try committee had subscribed over
$1,000. More solicitors went out to-
day, and it is expected even greater
results will be obtained today and
tomorrow. Morton county is general
ly aroused with the liberty loan cam.
paign. and it will easily establish one
of the best records.
ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
Mandan, n. D., Oct. 17.-Morris Ber-
ger. farmer OF the Fort Rice dis
trict. was yesterday afternoon bound
over to district court under bonds of
$500. Berger is alleged to have COM
mitted a statutory offepse in. which a
12-year-old girl is concerned. Several
witnesses were at the hearing. The
parents of the girl claim that the de-
PENDANT and their daughter are vic
