HOW TO ORGANIZE AN ARMY
PATRIOTISM. LIKE CHARITY,
BEGINS AT HOME

Let not this nation clothe itself III vain
patriotism like a painted one looking in
a glass, but rather let us test our patriot
ism by our consideration for those upon
whom will fall the duty Of enforcing tho
decree OF our nation in It's demand for
democracy and our rights upon the globe.
Let US show our gratitude. appreciation
and patriotism 10 our soldiers and sailors
by paying them $500 per day and board.
and let the expense OF the war be raised
by graduated income tax. beginning very
small on all incomes Of 81 900 per year
and increasing until the burdens OF the
conflict are so adjusted as to allow every
man to say and feel that he has done his
share.
The experience OF Russia affords us evil
dence sufficient to warrant us in conclud-
ing that the universal mind condemns
patriotism which brings hardship. pain.
anguish and death 10 those who bear arms
and execute the demands OF civilization.
while the riches and the material wealth
OF the nation is concentrated into the
hands OF few through the instrumentality
oil war.
Let the national government pay our
soldiers and sailors $500 per day, and let
Seattle abolish the fifty-year age limit so
that men here whose boys 90 TO war may
have the right to earn their living. Patriot
ism begins at home. But the noisy patriots
seldom 20 upon the field of battle.

eRUNsWIcK's EXAMPLE.


The following from the Tampa
Tribune is appreciated by the News
and will be a source of qualification
to the people of this city generally:
Brunswick is setting an example
for Tampa.
Brunswick, although especially
blessed with deep water and the finest
harbor facilities, has been asleep for
years. But it has awakened-the
shipbuilding is the elixir of life that
has put new vigor into the good old
Town
Brunswick did not wait for Cen
eTal Goethals and his board to give
it contracts to build ships. 1t pro-
ceeded to build ships on its own mi
tiative and it has been selling them
at fancy prices as fast as they could
be built. Two companies have been
in operation there for some time,
building schooners. In yesterdays
Associated Press dispatches. it was
announced that another company,
with a capital of 100000 had been
formed for the purpose of building
ships there.
Tampa has much more capital
than Brunswick and is just as well
situated for carrying on this indus
try. Tampa has wasted time waiting
on the SLOW processes of the Ship
ping Board and is no nearer getting
contracts from that board now than
it was in the beginning.
THE only ships built in Tampa are
being built on private contract. Why
cannot Tampa organize a company
and go into the shipbuilding business
on a large scale? There will be no
difficulty about selling the ships and
at the highest prices. Such an in
dustry would give employment to
hundreds and would give Tampa an
industry worth thousands of dollars
every week in local trade.
Tampa should consider the expert
ence of Brunswick and get busy.
Which of our live business men will
take the initiative and start the or
ganiZation?"

Liberty Bonds shows that one person
out of every twenty-five in the United
States bought bonds in denominations
of from $50 up to the 100000 issue.

NEW RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

The comptroller of the currency
has sento all national banks through
out the country the following an
nouncement:
"The president has signed the
amendment to the federal reserve act
changing reserve requirements of ma
tional banks. From this date the law
requires all national banks in central
reserve cities to maintain in their re
spective federal reserve banks a bal
ance of Is per cent of demand de-
posits, banks in reserve cities a re-
serve of 10 per cent of demand de-
posits, and country banks a reserve
of per cent of demand deposits.
National banks in central reserve
cities, reserve cities. and also coun.
try banks will be required to keep a
reserve on their time deposits of 3
per cent with their reserve banks. in.
stead of the 5 per cent reserve hereto
fore required. National banks are
not now required to keep reserve
against government deposits (exclu-
siVe of postal sayings).
The law does not require national
banks to keep reserves other than
those they are required to carry in
their respective reserve banks, but
each bank will, of course, naturally
arrange to carry in it's own vault sui
ficient funds to meet its current cash
requirements.
The federal reserve board has re-
quested that national banks i'll cen
trail reserve cities bring their bal
ances with their reserve banks up
to the new requirements not later
than the 9th instant.
'In order that the transfer of in
creased balances to the federal re-
serve banks by country banks and re-
serve city banks may be made with
the least inconvenience, the federal
reserve board has suggested that If
the reserve increases required under
the new law are provided by reserve
city banks and country banks not
later than July Is, and the reserves
carried with the federal reserve banks
are maintained meanwhile at not less
than the percentage heretofore re
quired. the federal reserve banks may
omit for this intervening period the
imposition of penalties, for reserve
deficiencies, against those national
banks which shall not before July Is
bring their reserve balances with
their reserve banks up to the full per
centage required by the new law"

WHY HE DOESN'T.

isn't it possible that President
Wilson, in the emergency of war now
confronting us, is entirely too toler-
ant of quibbling, gabby congress
which affects to be afraid of autoc-
racy in the chief executive?" This
question is asked by Mr. Hollis w.
Field of oxford, Conn, in a commu-
nication to the New York Press. says
the Savannah Press. He goes on to
say that the constitution provides
that the president shall be COM
mander in CHEM of the army and
navy of the United States, and of the
militia of the several states when
called into actual service of the
United States" etc
Thus President Wilson shall be"
commander in chief-and the war is
on. lightly as congress and most of
our citizenry seem to regard that
stern fact. AS the writer under
stands. one of the prerogatives of the
president. even in times Of peace, is,
in his Judgment, to declare martial
law where a mere section of the coun-
try is threatened Why just now
should not the president as president
and especially as commander in
chief in this mergency-declare mar
tial law for the United States and by
this means bring both the foolish and
the knavish fascalcitrants to knowl-
edge of just what war is?
The president is a far more wise
and patient man than many in the
country who would like to do the
presidenting for him. In an extreme
and intolerab BILE situation he would,
perhaps, take upon himself the full
powers to which he is by the consti-
tuition entitled, but the president
doesn't want to be an autocrat. He
desires above all things to conserve
democracy, even though state OF
war is a direct interruption of democ-
racy's progress.
Mr.. Field declares the hour for the
executor has struck, Is there any rea-
SON" he asks, "why President Will
son tomorrow may not constitute
himself the executive with the pow
ers of absolutism at his hand?"
The reason is that, although the
president probably realizes with Mr..
Field that "an autocrat, with auto
cratic power, alone can direct the
| war" and also that "a people in dire
straits Of war must look to supreme
commander, as such peoples have
been taught to look to an Almighty
God as the supreme ruler of their
deStinies," he evidently realizes some
thing that Mr.. Field does not. He
appears to realize that this is a. crisis
in the life of democracy which must
be carefully nursed, and he desires
above all things, to show a respect
for democratic usage and trust in
