Of 100000 tons. the Shipping Board

Converting Liberty Bonds

TUE Treasury Department has announced
that on December 10 holders OF the 3 IL
per cent Liberty bonds will be privileged to
exchange them for the new bonds bearing
per cent And We unhesitatingly advise our
friends to take advantage Of the offer which
the government has made through the
Treasury Department.
There are many sound reasons why pur-
chasers OF the Liberty bonds should convert
their holdings into the bonds of the new
issue. Obviously, the most important rea-
son, from the standpoint Of the small in
weston, is the fact that he will get a higher
rate Of interest upon the new bond. When
he made his original purchase he had the
pledge of the government, through an act
OF Congress. that If future issues of war bonds
should bear higher interest rate than the
first ISSUE all holders Of the first could de-
mand and receive tho more remuneratiye
bonds. This pledge has now been carried
out. In authorizing the second issue, Con-
gress directed the Treasury Department to
cancel all the old bonds presented and issue
In their stead per cents. 1t is manifestly
to the interest OF the investor to make the
exchange. Moreover, December Is has been
fixed as the date for this exchange for the
reason that the semiannual interest on the
first bonds is due on that date. This means
that tho holder of the original bonds will not
lose any of the return from that security
IhFcslofS III large DOCKS OF Liberty bonds
should convert them for yet another reason
The new bonds subject to income and
excess profits taxation. The old bonds are
not. When the first issue was fioated many
men OF great wealth purchased bonds i'm
large amounts This was n patriotic thing
to do, yet the feeling became more or less
general that many OF these rich investors
were prompted TO invest in these securities
in order to escape taxation. If such nves-
tors therefore. walk up and convert their
nonta1able bonds for taxable bonds, they
will have given conclusive answer to what
may have been an absolutely unjust suspicion.
From the governments standpoint 1t will
be matter Of administrative Importance to
be able to retire the whole OF the original
$4,000, 100000 bond issue Secretary Nc
Adoo has repeatedly shown the necessity OF
placing all the war loans upon the same in
terest footing.

Admiral Won Tirpitzs speech at Berlin on
tuesday Is chiefly significant as showing
Junkerdom's appraisement of the credulty
OF the German people in listening to appeals
for further sacrifices in a hopeless struggle
to secure an impossible German peace with
a war indemnity included "a possibility
which has nowhere existed except in the
densest German brain since the battle Of
the Marne more than three years ago. AS
the apostle OF frightfunels," Won Tirpitz
would offer up the last drop of German
blood on the altar of Hohenzolern ambition
and Junker greed.

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 27, 1917.

The withdrawal Of the Republican candi-
date named by the Republican convention at
Roanoke for the Office Of Attorney G eneral
and the substitution of another name by
the committee has been accomplished very
quietly. but alert observers will not fail to
perceive in the incident an indication that
such nomination carries with 1t a slender
prospect of success. Beyond afording q
little ephemeral advertising, it is difficult to
sec how any of the nominations made by
that convention can bring any special advan-
tage to the nominees.

Inc Republican convention at Smythe

1aVoring the repeal of the law allowing free

pack-"oods attitude. The law provides for
local opuoh IN the matter. II any county
or city desires TO supply pupils of it's public
schools with books, il certainly should he
permitted 10 do so. The plan has been fol-
lowed Tor years in Richmond with success
Many progressive friends of education have
advocated having the State supply all public
schooi children with books. If children are
furnished teachers, schoolhouses, Fairgrounds
and, In some cases, transportation, 4, does
look reasonable that they should be given
the hrst essential Of the educational pro-

think of calling its soldiers to the colors
and furnishing them with everything needed

SEEN ON THE SIDE
The Prince and the M.iI.
BY HENRY EDWARD WARNER

The Prince and the Maid.
On q richly caparisoned steed he rode.
And rustic maid from tho path stood by
With covotous look in her rustic ego
For a jaunt on tho horse that tho prince bo-
strobe,
And. oh! twas tho dawn OF troublous day
For the lass who stood by tho woodland way
For tho prince was ruler OF lands and gold,
And his servants knelt at their lords COM
mand
For tho weight of his heel or to kiss his
hand,
And their souls to tho cause of tho prince were
sold,
And the maiden sighed. and wished that she
wonderful lady in court might b.
So it CHANGED that the prince with his people
Reside him she rode when they went again,
And they took her to court with a loud acclaim
And In state she sat on q Cilded throne
Surrounded by courtiers, but all alone!
For the devil In church. fish on land,
Or dog on wings doctor i'll.
AS 20 feeling at home distinctly nil
And the maiden had trouble every hand;
She pinned for her kline by the watersde,
And after little while-she died!
They laid her away where the asters nod,
And the prince and his people passed that
way.
And he thought OF tho maiden of yesterday
And tho love he had lost meath tho blossomed
odds bodkins." he sighed in a weary tone
THE rustic to farming, the prince to his
throne"
