The Justice found that the company

case on appeal of the American Elk

citizens generally do not possess.
These privileges have been designated
by the legislature by the term fran

The board takes the position the law

THE ISSUE.

" AlAb "E
To subscribe to the Liberty Loan
is to perform a duty OF patriotism.
This is one of the pregnant SEN
fences in the proclamation OF the
President Of the United States TO
the people of the country, published
lin yesterdays Gazette, calling upon
them to make unparalleled efforts
to secure the money needed by the
nation in its mighty task OF freedom.
Wednesday, October "a, will be Of
fetal Liberty Loan Day. And on thai
day the people will meet together III
assemblies and masS-meetings ana
pledge themselves to the sevirce or
the nation in the money necessary 20
be raised to win the val.
We voice the expression OF a
contemporary when we say that the
might of the United States Is be-
ing modified and organized to strike
"a mortal blow at autocracy IN de-
tense of outraged American rights
and of the cause of liberty. In such
strong words does President wilson
call upon the people TO leap to the
side of liberty in support OF the loan.
The call Of the head of the ma
ton is the call to arms for every
man and woman in this Union. NO
American will permit to go unfeeded
this summons by their President. All
will respond. And thus every lndlVl-
dual who can in any way arrange
to secure the money through credi,
or otherwise will subscribe. Liberty
Loan Day must and will see the COM
p~letion of the loan; but it viii De
because everyone will answer the
simmons in the manner that VIII
nightly promote the ends OF amer
lea and victory for its Allies.
Either subscription must be mace
to the Liberty Loan in the interes'
of God and native land; for the hu'-
tyessiny of freedom: or there must
no met forced tribute to the Kaiser.
The time may come when the Image
'and superscription upon the Ameli-
ran coinage may be that of the "a
ser and not that of the Goddess Oh
liberty or the eagle in its free tilgat.
In last October the German Empero"
said to the American Ambassacof
th,t after the war was oven he would
,,t stand any more nonsense from
the Americans. The one plain mean
ling that he sought to convey is that
flo, having conquered his Euro
mean foes he would urn I" the
iITnited States and lay vlrtuaiiy
Fnrred tribute upon this country uE-
der the menace of the world poten-
tialitv of the German arms.
Either obviously or in effect. the
image and superScilptlon OF inc MAJ
ser would appear upon American
money. Which shall ii be. investor
God and liberty. or the Kaiser ana
barbarity? This is the real issue be-
hind the Liberty Loan. In the pres
ence Of this, all lesser motives %
