Wasting Money On Useless Schemes

We are heartily in favor Of snv thing
that will promote love of country and
loyalty TO our government. Just now.
however, We suspect this patriotic bus
mess is oyerdone. We all have some
thing else to do than give our thoughts
and our time to the hundred and one.
and even more, movements, all having
for their object the same thing. A
father and mother who have children,
and believe this country and its insti-
tutions are worth preserving can impress
on their children in the most lasting
and effective way that sentiment which
We call love Of country. They can
also put into their hands during the
formative period OF their lives, literature
which will teach the same thing We
can not all practice conservation and
saving and take part in and contribute
to every war scheme that requires time
and money.
In the past three or four monies We
have been asked to give OF our time.
and in almost every instance accom-
panied by polite request for money.
OF course no particular amount was
named in most instances. but it is gen
orally supposed one will give at least a
dollar. Now If We had felt able to
give this amount our cash account
would be depleted just about $50
But this is not all. The time required
in each instance to give the matter the
consideration required would have
taken up about thirty days. A work
ing mans time is his money, and the
war has not yet begun. In view Of
what is yet to follow We ask in all ser
iousness, would it not be better to con-
fine ourselves to a few simple. sane
and sensible lines, and let it go at that.
Just remember, we have been told
that the government il considering a
five billion dollar loan which the pa
triotic public is expected to absorb.
OF course there are those who can give
both time and money service to the
country, and we honor them for their
generosity, but there are those, and by
far the largest number, who can not
contribute to every war movement,
however worthy and we'll intentioned.

who oppose the war with Germany. if

want Germany to win in this war but
they have not as much moral courage as
they have sympathy and they hide their
true character behind pacifcism. We
know some who pose as pacifsts now
that were open German sympsthisers
before the United States declared war
on Germany. Right here the question
obtrudes itself: Are these pacifsts
good, d-blooded American citizens?

AN UNREASONABLE CHARGE

The inSensate hate that pervades
some ranks Of society, more int!amed
in the deyotees of radical Socialism
and Anarchism, OF capital is busy
these days charging that the United
States WAS driven into the war BY and
for the benefit Of capital. Any reason
ing man. after few moments rehec-
tons, can see the absolute abSurdity
OF the suggestion. The real animus
back OF SocialStic and anarchical
hate is enYy-the envy Of success and
the restiveness OF unsettled natures
against the restrictions of law and
order.
So far as capital. employed in in.

thing else but war. It may be making
a little money now. but it is paying
the heaviest tolls imposed by war. 1t

from choice but as q matter Of duty
and Of patriotism. In this way capital

TWO DECLARATIONS

Two important declarations were
made yesterday in connection with the
war the United States has entered on
behalf of Justice and liberty. One WAS
the declaration Of loyalty expressed
By the people in their oTersuoscrip-
ton to the Liberty Loan. and the other
was made by the head OF the govern
ment, President Wilson. giving a con-
crete definition Of the aims and pur-
poses Of the country in this war.
The first declaration OF the people in
fulfllment Of the pledge OF the govern
ment to its Allies gives body and life
to the second, that we are in the war
TO win: that nothing now must stand
between us and victory over force,
frightfuiness and bestiality as eIem-
plifed in the forces Of autocracy that
are deSolatins fair lands for the pur'
nose OF establishing military deSpot-
ism in place Of liberty.
: 1t is against tho legionS of ruthless
ness that our armies Of freedom arc
10 contend. that Justice may rule and
liberty govern instead Of tyranny. 10
this end VIC mus: hold our way un-
finchincly: 10 these high purposes we
must cou>ecrai.. ourselves that Truth.

vive on earth. and tina, permanent
peace may come.
