Our Own Mountaineers.

In 1.-THE Men of the Mountains" Ar
thur w. Spaulding quotes a touching
little story Of one Of those isolated
homes among the Appalachian hills
whose occupants seldom hear the voice
of prayer, have not seen a Bible and
could not read it if they had it. A
minister, visiting the home for the
first time, told the little family the
story of the cross. They followed him
with rapt faces, and when he had con-
cluded the mother, leaning toward
him, whispered hoarsely: stranger,
you say all this happened long time
agO? "Yes," he said, almost 1000
years ago." "And they nailed him to
that thar tree when he hadn't done
nothing to hurt 'em, only jest loved
'em?" Eyes" She leaned farther
and placed her hand impressively upon
his knee. "Wall, stranger" she said,
the tears standing in her eyes, lets
hope hit amt so!'

up, because he is a stacker, and all slackers are supposed to be punished. Our government needs money and requests loan from the people, That request for loan is unnecessary; the gov ernment could tax us and get whatever amount it needs, but it prefers to leave it to the gener- osity of the people. At this point the aliens en- ter Their property is not taxed and they loan not They horde money and deprive the coun- try of its use. They are not considered slackers for military purposes; therefore are exempt from all penalties. Yet they are enjoying the freedom of country that was made safe by the very men who are being sent to the front to keep it safe as much for their benefit as for the men who loan and fight. Every alien who does not help us should be deprived of all his property during the war and made to fight or leave the country.
 Just think it maw be said that there are millions upon millions of idle dollars, the prop erty of aliens, in the banks throughout the coun- try while Americans are loaning the government money with which to protect the banks in which the aliens money is deposited Make them come through or take it away from them, is the way it should be done.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.

At the bank closing hours last evening $21, 300 had been subscribed to the Liberty bond fund. As remarkable as this may be for the size of our community. and considering that there are three more days remaining in which we can add 10 that amount We believe there is room for Improvement.
 Considering the just ended successful seas on: the high price of fish now and the splendid outlook for the winter business, we can see no reason why this town could not subscribe round $40,000 among the wage earners alone. Pay ments of bonds may be made in installments Nobody need fear of lack of employment there fore future payments cannot be seriously con- sidered. From the first of the coming new year, there shall be booze to pay tribute to and with a firm resolution to be saving we can all meet the payments help our country and put away a little for rainy day in the way of a loan to the government.
 We should remember that this money will not be thrown at the feet of the War Lord the Kaiser because we are not trying to pacify his lo"dship with gold but that money will be placed in the lap of the Goddess of Liberty so dear to us all, and for which our forefathers shed their blood in 1776. Let us stand togethe~ 'i!,e they did and help our country that it may rc4 be said that we love our dollars better than our liberty What good will hundred dollars do if we are deprived of our liberty, like the German people in Germany? After today we have three more days to decide whether we want to help Uncle Sam with 2 loan or not. Think it over folks.

TIE WISEST STEP TO TAKE

It appears that there is a movement on foot whereby tho government will take and use all the cash. the property of aliens until such time as the country sees if to return it. This is undoub- tedly the wisest step the government could take and perfectly legal at that.

The government secret service men have delved deeply into the affairs of the l. w. w. but discovered nothing beautiful or honorable in the bottom of it all On the contrary the deeper they deved the more disgusted they became.

In twenty-five years from now, children in schools will be reading about this great war and how the United States government worked to obtain loan from everybody with which to de- fray the expenses of the war. They shall read about the generosity of the people and all that. Some with curious turn of mind will inquire "How many bonds did you buy Pa?" Our pride will be touched then and may be badly hurt. It will depend how patriotic we are today.
