THE LIBERTY LOAN
AND THE FARMER
BY d. F. HOUSTON. Secretary OF
Agriculture

by ID. r. HOUSTON, Secretary OF
Agriculture
1t is every citizens duty to pur-
chase a Liberty bond II he is in po-
sition to do so. Every patriot will
regard 1t as a privilege to participate
in the Liberty Loan. He will there
by contribute directly and effectively
to the successful prosecution OF the
war which Germany has forced upon
us. The Nations task is "A serious
one. 1t intimately touches each of
us. 1t faces you and me. If we do
not win this war we must prepare
ourselves for grave changes in our
institutions and to lead a different
sort of life from that which we had
planned to live-from that which
our forefathers died to give us the
right to live. We shall indefinitely
face the interference of the Prussian
autocracy or bear permanently the
intolerable burdens of milItarism.
To win this war we must have both
men and money. / know that every
farmer wants to do all in his power
for the Nation inthis day of trial.
He will not only labor to produce the
necessary foodstuffs but will also
generously contribute of his means
to make 1t possible for the men at
the front to achieve victory. / am
confident that the farmers of the
land will not permit any other class
to take the leadership in supporting
the Government in this crisis, finan-
cially or otherwise.
We are at war with Germany be-
cause Germany made war upon us,
sank our ships. killed our citizens.
and plotted against us while profess
ing friendship. We were patient till
offenses became so fragrant and in
suits so intolerable that it was mere
ly question whether we would ad-
NIT that we were no longer free
nation or accept the challenge of the
war-mad, hypocritical, and mediae-
val Prussian militarists. There was
one choice we could not make-we
were incapable of making We
could not choose the path of sub
mission and suffer the most sacred
rights of our Nation and our people
to be ignored and violated"
We are defending our rights as a
free nation. We are resolved that
there shall be an end of brute force
in international affairs. What Ger
many's victory would mean to the
world Is plain. There would be no
right except might. no peace save at
the price Of humiliations too bitter
to be borne. Small nations could
not exist. There would be no sane
tity to a pledge, no solemnity to
covenant. With the dominance of
Prussian militarism, the Anglo-Sax-
on struggle for free institutions and
liberty. persisting from Runnymede
to yorktown, with It's Magma Charta,
its Bill of Rights, and it's Declaration
OF Independence. will have been in
vain. 1t is to prevent this, to defend
our rights, and to make possible an
orderly and just peace in the world
that we are at war. The Nation calls
on It's citizens for high and noble SER
vice. On some 1t calls for service in
the field: on others for service at
home; on all, it calls for financial
support. I am confident that the
farmers OF the Nation will eagerly
respond to the call for subscriptions
to the Liberty Loan.

ROOSEVELT AND THE ARMY

Former President Roosevelt appeared at better advantage than in his acceptance of the de- csion of the military authorities not 10 send his pro posed volunteer army to Europe with him at the head. And while he has not said yet, believe that he is fully convinced that the decision while regretful, is in the interest of efficiency.
 The authorities have decided that it would not be wise to send volunteer army Europe, and the experts of the believe that Col Roosevelt has not had the experience necessary command an army in war under modern methods His hearty ap- proval of the plan to raise additional troops through the seectve draft would indicate that Col Roosevelt himself probably realizes the correctness of the de cision that has been arrived at
 While there will be regret all the country, as well as in the White House. that Col Roosevelt 3 enthusiasm and strong personality will be missing at the front, it is than likely that the administra- ton will find place where they may be used in the interest of success in war, and be frough with the dangers that would accompany command incom- peently lead-or lead by whose continued leadership might not be dependent upon the results accomplished The country needs Col Roosevelt in the crisis that confronts it. just it needs all of it's strong and forceful men of experience but he would probably be useful in other capacity than in the field at the head of army
 At any rate, hats off The Colonel for the manly in which he has accepted the decision of the President.

SULZER LEADS

All of the Democratic newspapers in Alaska with ore or exceptions have declared themselves fairly squarey for the party leadership of Delegate Su ger and harmony with the regularly selected Demo cratic organization That they represent the rank and file of the Democrats of the Territory who not seeking office is apparent to any one who has fol lowed the events. The Democratic party in Alaska stands where it stood last year when it nominated MT Sulzer for Delegate to Congress and placed the ensign of leadership in his hands. His leadership brought nearly six and half thousand votes to the support of the things for which the Alaskan Democ has stood steadfasty for four and forced the colors of Wickersham to dust trailing He is still the leader of Democracy and will remain until the speak again through primaries, and The Empire is convinced that his commission will then be renewed by overwhelming expression of Democratic thought. lt

 No matter how deaf woman may be she can hear every word her hus- band says when she sees him talking to a strange girl two squares away.
 A man knows that his girl is an American Beauty because she has red hair. lily white complexion and blue eyes. But he won't see the Stars until after he marries her
 And it often happens that hus- bands love dies long before a wife's beauty fades.
 The reason why Mother knows that Daughter is Natural Musician is be- cause Daughter would rather pump the player piano than wash the dishes
 About the time a man gets sense enough to take care of himself the world begins to call him an old fogy If some men visied the Grand Canyon they would be able to suggest a lot of improvements that the Creator over looked.
