BY THE EDITOR.

Tacoma MUST raise $4,000 day for
the Liberty loan from now until the sub
scription period closes on Friday morning.
There are no "if's' and land s" about it.
Community pride, selfish interest, good
business and true patriotism all dictate the
same course.
Furthermore, it is an'easy task that is set
for us. Easy, that is, if every citizen is true
blue; easy if the Stacker spirit does not find
spawning ground among us.
Disastrous it would be if we, and the rest
Of the nation with us, should fail. Berlin
would jubilate, and hell would laugh Our
failure would be stab in the back of our
allies, disgraceful example in the face of
our 10 million registered young men, a mu-
nicipal and national confession that we are,
in truth, the fat, immoral, dollar grasping
race our enemies have professed to believe
us.
Joffre and bleeding France would turn
their faces from the spectacle. Belgium,
Serbia and Poland would, fittingly, tear the
Stars and Stripes into shreds to be used as

bandage material as they made their last
stand against the despoIer.
But Tacoma is NOT going to fail in this
first and easy test of her spirit, nor will the
nation fail
All required is that every man and woman
UNDERSTAND. Many do not yet. They
have not taken the trouble to study the need
and to learn the ease with which that need
may be met.
The first So per cent of Tacoma quota
came from 1900 persons. More than 100000
have not responded. 1t is up to you, if you
are included'in that group, to ACT TODAY.
Do not imagine because your resources are
slender that you cannot buy at least one $50
bond. The terms are easy, and when you
have the bond paid for it may be used at the
stores or the banks practically as money.

Many residents in the vicinity of the
Hickory street cemetery are wondering
why 1t is that children are allowed
to play in the cemetery. Every night
after school hours dozens of children
flock to the buryfng ground to play.
The majority of the young people have
no relatives buried there, SO think
nothing OF walking on the graves,
climbing upon the gravestones and lit
tering the whole cemetery with rub
bish. Some Of the headstones have
even been broken by the youngsters.
It is small wonder that people who
have loved ones laid to rest in the
cemetery complain at the dissertations
committed by the children who are
allowed to play in the place
