Tn ordinary times the ordinary, av-
erage citizen of the United States
has few demands made upon him
by his National Government. He
daily receives his mail delivered to
him by Federal employee. If he is
a manufacturer or exporter he re-
ceives consular reports and other doc
uments. If he is farmer he re-
ceives various bulletins from the Gov
eminent, and through the extension
work of the Agricultural Department
he receives material assistance. He
pavs his taxes to the Federal Gov
eminent (unless he be wealthy
enough to pay an income taxi only IN
an indirect way and in no great
amout by paying a little higher price
for some of his purchases. He serves
occasionally on the juries IN the Fed
eral courts. But as d general thing
the Federal Government asks moth
ing of him. In return for the bene-
fits he derives from the Federal Gov
eminent, including protection at
home and abroad and what blessings
of liberty he enjoys, the only return
he is called upon to make is to stand
up when "The Star-Spangled Banner
is played and to cheer little on the
Fourth of July.
But when the country is at war the
ordinary, average American citizen
is called upon to show appreciation
of and make return for the benefits
and blessings his country has secur--
ed to him. When the honor and
prestige of the Nation are at stake,
when the welfare and success of the
Nation are threatened and the safety
of the Nation endangered, there
comes a call to which every true citi-
zen will respond.
Not everyone is cdled upon to
bear arms for his country, but every,
one is called upon to do some service
to his country. Some are to fight
cur enemies on the seas, some oul
enemies on land, some to manufacture
the munitions and other things oul
Army and Navy will need, some t.
grow products to feed our Natior
and our Army and the peoples ant
armies of our allies.
To see that these things are done
is the duty of our Government, and tt
accomplish these things our Govern
ment must have large sums of none.

to paw our soldiers and our sailors,
to purchase things they will need for
warfare and maintenance, ana money
to lend to our allies who have been
hard pressed with the fearful eH-
penses of three years Of fearful war.
This money must be drawn from the
body of the people; it is neither desl-
rabie nor wise to draw it all from the
financiers or the wealthy of the coun-
trv, nor would it be patriotic. This
Liberty Loan should be a loan OF
the great body of the American peo--
nle, and not from only one or several
classes. The more the people finance
the Government the less dlctatlon
there can be from special interests.
The money to meet the immediate
need of the United States IN this
war is to be raised by the sale OF
Liberty Loan bonds. 1t is not to be
sent abroad, but to be expended IN
America, and it will 60 back INTO
the pockets of the people whence 1t
came in return for their products,
their labor, their manufacturers
The people of the nation never before
had so magnificent a chance to DO
the patriotic thing, the loyal thing,
I the noble thing, and at the same time
profit themselves so greatly by dong
it.
"These are the times that try mems
souls" said old Tom Paine in Revo-
lutionary days. This year 1917 is a
time that tries our Americanism. Not
bv the amount of money realized by
the sale of these bonds but by the
number of subscribers to the loan, by
the number of Americans who leno
their money to their Government, is
the Americanism of the people OF the
limited States to be demonstrated.
