so much truth as today.
Liberty" says Ralph Barton Perry q

than ever the only escape from the oppo.

fitness of arrogance. Equality, the recog.
milton Of the common lot and the common
humanity, the wide-open door OF opporturr

may be saved from the bitterness Of unde-
served failure or the false pride Of unde-
served success. These are more than ever
the precious things, the things worth living
and dying for, the things we love and call
American; and patriotism is more assuredly
than ever the most powerful force by
which they may be kept alive and safe in

Mr.. Marshall Words

Vice President Marshalrs plea for the
Liberty Loan is a little different from the
stereotyped one offered by other public
men. He says in substance that we must
now finance the way as one means OF max.
ing up for derelictions in the way of early
preparation for it. AS he puts it:
1--WE did not prepare. We thought there
was no danger. And in one year there
comes upon us an outlay of extraordinary
expense, which might have been prevented
had we exercised foresight and courage, lit
tie by little, to get ready. 1t is futile, how
ever, to hold post mortems. The past is
the dead and eternal past. This war must
be fought and it must be financed in order
to be fought"
II this had come from any one than the
tice president, says an exchange, 1t would
have to be interpreted as criticism of the
administration, but he kindly and thought
fully includes himself and the country gen.
orally by saying "we;'' had it come from
another source it would have suggested the
adoption of Theodore Roosevelt's views.
And of course we should have had to fin
zee preparation in any case, and possibly
ISL war, for we might not have been able
TO keep out of the conflict if we had been
prepared.
But Mr.. Marshall is right in saying that
shatever is past, our duty now is both to
fight and to pay the bills. We are in the
war and must meet all its requirements in
men n money. The men are already In
the ranks; those who remain at home must
provide the money. 1t is a big sum that Is
asked, but we are able to raise 1t. AS the
vice president says, we must prove our
faith in democracy, by contributing to the
Liberty Loan-"our faith is being put to.
the touchstone of our works."

Putting Teeth in 1t

Game Warden Theodore Rouault, Jr,
seems to have quite definite ideas as to
the purpose for which the game laws were
passed--namely, to protect and conserve the
game supply Of New Mexico. The law is
bling enforced apparently without fear or
favor and the numerous arrests and con-
~victions-of all sorts and classes OF per.
sons-cannot fail to have a wholesome eff
feet. There is no getting around the fact
that respect for the game law is rapidly
increasing-due to the unremitting indus
try and vigilance of the warden n his
deputies.
Anyone who has hunted through the
Santa Fe range, for instance. 10 or Is
years ago, and who takes a trip through
our big woods now doesn't need any argu'
ment to convince him of the vital need
not only Of enforcement of the game pro-
lection laws, but OF steadily stocking. the
hills with new game. If the public doesn't
cooperate to the limit Of its ability we may
see before many moons the full significance
of the Game Protective Associations query;
What do you want your son to hunt
rabbits?"

The Farmer Side

The farmers OF the Estancia Valley are
beginning to present their side of the New

to be a pretty strong case before their brief

cultural district to lose its railroad artery

Not all OF them can wear the garb OF Red

ALCOHOL sTILE IN DEMAND

Forbidding distillers to make whiskey
while the war lasts didn't bring ruin to
them nor throw thousands of honest men,

said it would. Instead the distilleries are
engaged in making alcohol for which
there is an immense demand because Of the

best indication Of how practical prohibition

for which distillery stock is being
sold. The stock of one distillery, with a
par value of 800, cannot be bought today
for $1,000, This shows that the whiskey
manufacturers are making more money in
producing alcohol than they could make

Uruguay Wants to
Help Civilization
Undianapolis Star)

President Were, in his message declaring
that the Uruguayan government has broken
off diplomatic relations with Germany, ex-
planned that Uruguay has not received any
direct offense from Germany but 1t was
necessary to espouse the cause of the de-
tenders of justice, democracy and small ma
lions. That substantially was our reason,
lao, although we did not state the case so
frankly. We had suffered many direct Of
fenses at the hands OF Germany. We had
technically the very best OF reasons for 60
ing to war with Germany, aside from disclos-
ures that 1t was plotting to involve other
nations In war with US.
The real moving force behind our warfare
against the central powers is not limited
to the direct ~offenses we have suffered. We
might have been able to overlook those, IL
satisfied that they would not be repeated,
and that we could hope to live in peace
and comfort in the world with German au.
tocracy. But we knew the world is not safe
for us or any other government by the peo-
pie so long as German world-ambitions arc
not curbed. We, like our little neighbor
in South America, are fighting Germany be.
cause of what she is rather than what she
has done, and for the very simple reason
that she would not have done as she did
were she not what she is.
Uruguay finds it necessary ito espouse
the cause Of the defenders Of Justice, de.
mocracy and small nations" which is a
very plain way of saying that it looks upon
Germany as an international outlaw. What
could be more singing than such an in.
dictment at the hands Of a sovereign peo-
pie thousands of miles away? They have
ITO specific grievance except that they feel
1t their duty to be on the side of right and
decency. They want to help make the world
safe for democracy.
President viere's arraignment, backed by
severance OF diplomatic relations, should
make the people of Germany think. Url-
quay deliberately chooses to take sides
against them in order to maintain its self
respect and do it's duty as a civilized ma
ton. The action in the last week of that
little republic and Peru leaves almost no
civilized nation, excepting Spain INT the
governments contiguous to Germany, that
is not ranged against the central powers.
Even the most ardent Pan-American and
militarist should realize there is something
radically wrong with a program SO univer-
sally condemned, and that it can not win in
the face Of worldwide opposition.

The New Liberty Loan

Tne new a per cent Liberty Bonds arc
exempt from all state and local taxes.
The new 4 per cent Liberty Bonds are
exempt from the normal federal income
tax.
New 4 per cent Liberty Bonds to a prin.
cipal amount of $4,000 in the hands Of each
investor, in addition to the above, are ex-
empt from ALL federal taxation except
estate and inheritance taxes, that <is, are
exempt from s~urtaxes and excess profit
taxes, as we'll as normal income taxes. i
This means that as regards the average
citizen, including those in comfortable cir
stances, the new 4 per cent bonds are
practically tax exempt.
Official statistics show that of the 100.-
900, 900 or more population of the United
States, only 1884 have incomes above $780,
900 per annum, and in the case of anyone
having an income less than this figure, the
new 4 per cent bonds are a'more desirable
investment than the fully tax exempt 8 10
per cent bonds of the First Loan
The United States offers you an oppor.
tunity to invest in the safest security IN
the world, and will pay YOU 4 per cent on
your money.
The estimated wealth of the United
States is about $50 billion dollars. Our
national debt was a little more than one
billion dollars before the break with Ger.
many. Adding to this the two billion dol
lars borrowed In the first LIBERTY Loan
gives a total national debt of a little over
/ per cent of the total national wealth OF
the country.
The yearly Incomes in the United States
are estimated at about 40 billion dollars
or 10 times the total national debt lin.
Guiding the first Liberty Loan and about
400 times the annual interest charges on
our total debt.
If a man should come to you and want
you to lend him $1,000 and you knew he
owned property worth $780, 900; If you knew
that his yearly income was 1900 dollars
and he gave you his note, would you lend
him the $1,000?
viii you lend your money to the United
States on such a basis?
Out of the sixteenth century comes an
appeal for the Liberty Loan:
The speech made by the Prince of Orange
in 1866 when the Netherlands confederacy
was Threatened by Philip II Of Spain as
the world Is periled today by Emperor
William Of Germany, is as direct an appeal
today to the nation for funds to carry on
the war as any that can be made in this
century.
The Prince Of Orange In 1865 said:
LET not a sum Of gold be SO dear to
you, that for it's sake you Will sacrifice
your lives, your wives, your children, and
all your descendants, to the latest genera
ticns; that you will bring sin and shame
upon yourselves, and destruction upon us
who have SO heartily striven to assist you.
Think what scorn you win incur from for.
eisn nations, what a crime you will com.
against the Lord God, what a bloody
yoke you will impose forever upon your
selves and your children if you now seek
for subterfuges; IL you now prevent us
from taking the field with the troops
we have enlisted. On the other hand,
what inexpressible benefits you will con-,
Ter on your country if you now help us to
rescue that fatherland from the power Of
our enemies"
