Subscriptions to
 Bonds Open Today

TNHE campaign for subscriptions to U the $3,OOO,0 ,000,0 ,0oO war loan will
 begin today. The bonds will bear per cent interest, and as the first issue of liberty bonds of $2,- 000, ,000, 900, bearing 31s per cent in terest, was oversubscribed 50 per cent it is safe to assume that the present issue will be in large demand.
 The apportionment for the federal reserve districts of the country is based on the subscriptions to the $2,- 000, ,000, ,000 loan, and it is believed that patriotic people will respond just as literally as they did few months ago.
 In order that the bonds may prove popular with men and women of mod crate means as well as capital ists, the denominations range from $50 up. Deferred payments are made easy for everybody. Thousands of wage workers in the Birmingham district can well afford to buy a $10O bond and thousands of Alabama farm
 cc.-I 4n r,,hcor;bo Toc+ uoaY. when crops in this state were poor many tillers of the soil were too de- pressed to lend the government a helping hand in a financial way; buoyancy in all our agricultural sec tions is the rule now, and that being so farmers are especially urged to in- vest in the new issue. A goodly num- Der of them subscribed to the 3h per cent bonds in June, but every farmer should manifest his patriotism by in vesting in 4 per cent bonds. l As for Birmingham, it can be counted upon to make fine record in the campaign now beginning. In the first liberty loan this city made far better showing than Atlanta. If Bir- mingham should do as well propor- tionately this month as it did before it can easily come up to its former record, and it will be no surprise if il goes considerably ahead of Atlanta l again.

From the Indianapolis Star.
 "A BALTIMORE citizen who died the N other day was classed in tho = headlines as . man of the highest personal character. prominent In busi- ness circles and a political leader. About an hour before his death, which followed e. surgical operation, he was in- formed that the end was near, where upon he called for his family and bade them an affectionate farewell, after which he asked for the morning papers and read the latest news, laying them down only when inconsistencies crept upon him.
 Was 1t the working habit that led this man in the final moments of his life to turn half mechanically to the papers as he had been accustomed to do each morning for years7 Or was 1t the hu- man yearning to have a last outlook over the world he had known and loved and in whose affairs he was always inter- ested-an outlook to be had only through the newspapers with their dispatches from near and far? Was he anxious about the war or concerned about the preparations being made by his own government? Was he interested in other activities. possibly politics, in which he might himself have figured? Did he long for further chance to render serv- ice? What did this man of affairs, with

From tho New York Telegram.
 Noise is no argument Jeers and cat calls don't prove anything, whether in- dulged in at session of the dignified House<of Representatives of the United
 States or at a cigarmakers' picnic in
 Jones' Wood.
 If Representative Hefiin of Alabama

 members of the House who have not been
 loyal. and (0 of 'rumor of gambling
 place in this city run by German, whera pacifiSts and slackers and members of this House loaf around" he should be permitted to adduce the reasons for his belief.
 By boohooing 1t down members of tho House disprove nothing. Let us hear just what Representative Heflin does know. He may possibly have information dovetailing with Secretary Lansing's publication of Count Won Bern storff's request to Berlin for 900 fore.
 All indignation should be saved up for bestowal either on Heflin if he fails or on his victims if he succeeds.
