DISLOYALTY

The Journal man was peeyed over
the article in the News-Budget OF
Nov. %. calling attention to some re-
marks savOring very strongly OF dis
LOYALTY i'm the MedfOrd Sun and our
mentioning that in the same issue an
article of the Journals III defense OF
those who refused to purchase LIB
erty Bonds was played up prominently.
In your another style the Journal
asserts that the News-Budget opposed
CONSUMPTION and opposed sending sol
diers to France and again wakes v0-
ciferOuS over its brand of patriotism.
as compared with that of this news
paper.
1t is true that the NewsBudget was
not in favor of CONSUMPTION when it
was propOsed-when it was in effect
in only small part of Britain's do
main. not even in Canada. 1t is also
true that when the proposition of
sending American troops to France
was being discussed, the News-Budget
did not favor it.
No one would have critiZed the Jour
nal man for disloyalty had he confined
his opposition to the Liberty Loan to
the time when that, as a method, was
under discussion. as a means of rails
ing for the government necessary
funds for carrying on the war.
But a man is certainly subject to
criticism and that is getting off
easy. for discOuraging the enlistment
of either men or money when the
country calls, even though he would
have preferred Il different method.
For the raising of money to carry on
the war is just as necessary as the en-
listment of men to fight the battles.
The Liberty Loan was the method
thought best by the government to
raise Il large part of the required war
funds and opposition and hostility
toward it was in no way less dislOyal
than opposition to the draft, the
method selected by the government to
raise men.
We are sending the flower of our
young manhood to France: we cannot
afford to sacrifice their lives for lack
OF ammunition or the implements Oh
warfare. If there must he lack at
first let it be of men rather than
money. Raising the money must not
he INSTRUCTED.
The Journal attacked the Liberty
Loan. said the government was send
ing out "damnable lies" concerning it.
called the editor of the News Budget
liar for stating that the Journal was
diScOuraging subscriptions to the
bond and ignored our challenge to pro-
duce one reader of the Journal who
would say that the Journals attack on
the loan was not what we said it was,
and recently has defended those who
refused to subscribe for the bonds
The Journals position in this mat
ter has been dislOyal. That is the YER
dict of many people i'll and out of La
dysmith who have no enmity against
the judge, nor prejudice against him.
That it has been loyal enough in
other respects is no defense for this
derelictiOn.

THAT CHAIN LETTER

The News-Budget had occasion in
these columns to write of the chain
letter a week ago. Since then as is
told in the news columns of this issue
it seems that the prO-German prOpa-
ganda fOStered by the blOOd-mOney of
KaiseriSm, is miserably at work, not
only to embarrass the government but
to actually set the war i'll motion here.
There is one thing to do. and that is
to get the originator of the letters and
to put him where the dogs will not bite
him for some months and when the
war is over. to kick him across the
pond and tell him not to come back.
1T would be unwiSe to shoot d person
like that for there would be raised the
question of martyrdOm, but hard labor
in prison is more to the point.
The time to extend sympathy with
traitors has passed. Let those who
are not for the United States flag line
mp and say so. Communities have been
too lenient with the disloyal element
i'll their midst. They dealt with the
copperhead during the civil war after
a year or two, so that he had the fear
of God and his country even if he did
not love it.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

The city council has settled down to
make thorough investigation of the
lighting and power situation, now that
the atmosphere has been cleared SO
far as Myers and his Chicago friends
who own the Ladysmith plant are con-
cerned 1t will not take long to be
able to place the figures before the pub
lie and to proceed with all due order
and business-like precision to put the
city plant in the hands of the people.
First, there will have to be an cleo
ton on the question as to whether the
people want the plant or wish to let
it remain in the hands of the Chicago
owners. Second, after the election and
the people have decided that they want
the city to own the plant, then the rail-
road commission will appraise the
property.
When the commission has appraised
the plant, then will come the financing

EARL UPPER SAYS
HE WASN'T ROPED IN

Earl Topper, now i'll jail on the
charge of bigamy, writes to the News
Budget to correct some slight errors
in dates in the story of his thralld0m
Of one too many wives. Upper says
Il came to Ladysnith April 3, 1915
and another thing the boy of my first
wife was born Jan. %, 1915 and the
boy of this woman was. born Dec. &
1915. And another thing you said
was 'rOped in which | was not"
Topper made the roping i'll state
ment to Chief LoZier. and to the Dis
trict Attorney in his endeavor to eX
plain how it came that he was not
married to his present wife. He said
he was rOped III.
Topper also says he was not in jail

~rHE POOR LITTLE RICH MAN

Analysis of the subscriptions to the
last Liberty Loan diSclOses some facts
which are of the greatest Importance
to the people generally. They COM
pletely knock the eye out of the sour
faced harper on the one string, that
the rich ought to buy the bonds and
the poor man ought not to be asked to
subscribe.
This was the largest loan ever made
y amy individual or nation in the
world 1t was more than all the
wealth of the tabled rich of ancient
DAYS
How was this loan distributed?
Here is the result: There was $4,617,-
100000 subscribed. 1t took 80 per
cent Of the subscribers, or to be exact.
9.306. 900 persons to take Sass. 100000,
Il little more than half of the loan.
Then came the $4,000 persons who
bought So 129. 100000 of bonds. 1t is
therefore plain that the rich man was
not Stacker.
Take it right here in Rusk county.
While there were a large number of
subscribers and the county went way
over the top in the loan. yet it is true
that in Ladysmith, with quota of
$4,000. three men or firms sub
scribed for $4,000, while the rest was
made up of several subscriptions of
$1,000 and the many small ones.
This is not rich mans or a poor
MANS war. if is y war of the DpODIe
and the man who stands back and en-
deavors to raise class hatred and to
pit the poor against the rich or the
rich against the less well-to-d0. is a
traitor and as disloyal as the sneak
who puts the bomb under the factory.

ENTERTAINMENTS

The coming of Clarissa Harold at
the gymnasium auditorium, on Satur-
day. tomorrow night, is one of the
many events which have been sched-
uled by the management of the enter
tainment course. that stands out with
peculiar prominence. 1t is seldom that
man or woman. by the very greatness
OF his or her genius steps into public
favor at once. In most cases it re-
quires years to grow to be popular
favorite and many months are re-
quired to walk from the amateur class
to that of the paramountly prominent
entertainer. But Miss Harold by the
very wonderful talent she has, in al
most a twinkling, grew to be one Of the
most sought-after readers on the "
ceum stage. 1t is therefore matter
Of congratulation that the committee
here having the entertainment COZ Sc
in charge, was able to secure Miss
Harold for Saturday night.

This is day of consolidation of
newspapers. From every city almost
comes news of papers, heretofore bit
ter rivals. joining forces and interests
under one management. One OF the
latest and of interest to many is the
sale of the Boston Advertiser, which
was started by that great colonial pa
triot. Samuel Adams, in 174S. 1t was
one OF the highly literary and staid
papers of the Commonwealth of Mass
achuSetts for years. But it lost much
of its prestige in the modernizatiOn OF
newspapers where the function of the
paper was printing the news and not
literature and essays or personal
opinion To the Advertiser has been

people was very seriously impressed
upon the people at the Highschool gym
nasium, Sunday. There is no hall in
and with the growth of the city more
marked, the war interest, and the pos
sible coming of conventions, it will be
necessary to have place for meetings
commensurate with these needs. That
is job for the Chamber of Commerce.

While the gross earnings of the rail
roads of the country as shown by the
October reports were much greater
than i'll 1916. yet the net receipts were
reduced from 124 millions to 116 mil
lions. This has been due to the larger
operating expenses. Only the roads in
the Southern group where the increase
in the wage scale and a great increase
in the amount Of business handled
have not kept the same relation as in
the North, have the net earrings shown
an increase Railroad equipment has
not been largely increased, the only
showing worthy of note being in the
addition of freight cars.

The acquital of Mrs. De Saulles
charged with killing of her husband
is one of the strange things in the Grim
inale history of this country. Mrs. De
Saulles, separated from her husband
who had spent her money freely
wanted her boy. The little son was
living with his father. She went after
the boy and when the husband sheer,
ingly refused to let her have the son
she shot and killed him. The defense
rested its battle on the one issue OF
temporary insanity caused by the deep
desire Of the woman to have her
offspring and apparently the jury was
convinced that she was not in her right
mind at the time of the killing. Also
it is hard to secure a jury that will
send a woman to the electric chair.

of the plan. There does not seem to be
any serious obstacle here as bonds are
being sold every day in al rarts Of
the country for municipal, county and
state improvements, or for refundlng,
as well as for private enterprises.
Anyhow out of this will come for the
people a rate that will be equitable.
