President had asked for his defeat
need not be taken as an endorsement
of what Huddleston stands for. It

form of government, with three sep
arate and distinct branches, the most
important Of which is the legislative.
The people recognize this, and they
will tolerate no executive. dictation

sentatives. To establish the prece-
dent of defeating a man because he
meets the displeasure of the Presi-
dent would be to make subservient
tools of considerable number OF
members Of Congress. This, of
course, tho people Of the country do
not want done. They want men.

Huddleston voted wrong good

THE CENSUS GRAB,

While the Census bill was under
discussion in the House. Representa-

the adoption OF an amendment that
would have taken from the Democrats
some, vt least, of the enormous
amount of patronage they will exer-
else when that measure is put into
effect. Al It now reads all census
supervisors arc to be appointed by
the Secretary Of Commerce upon rec
ommendation OF tho Director of the
Census. OF course that means that

Cooper would have given the Con-
gressmen = voice in making recon-
mendations for appointments in their
own districts. Had his views pre-
vailed Republican districts would
have stood chance Of having their
inhabitants recorded by Republican
supervisors. But Mr.. Cooper's amend.
ment met with disfavor from tho
party In control and was defeated. 1

Bonds of the Fourth Liberty
Loan are now being turned out by
the thousands daily by the Treasury's

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

The shortest road to a commission
in the army is through the student
army training corps in colleges and
universities.
Aside from this opportunity to Sc
cure commission membership in
this corps, practically guarantees a
place in the army, whether as COM
missioned or non-commissioned Off
Ger, mechanic, or infantryman, in
which man can render his largest
service to his country.
Men in Class 1 may enter provided
they have not been selected for draft
before induction into this corps, and
those who have registered under the
new draft may be accepted before
they are actually classified in the
draft.
Youths or older men should send
in applications at once to the school
of their choice and take course in az
riculture, chemistry, commerce, engi-
neering, journalism, law, letters, sci
ence, pharmacy, or any other course
taught. This is great opportunity.

This is not a philanthropic cam,

as the Liberty Loan campaign will
furnish uniforms and ammunition

other essential for winning the war

40 bonds should not wait until the
last moment to exercise the privilege
Of conversion but proceed to do so
promptly. Delay will result in over
burdening the banking institutions of
the country and the Treasury De-
partment by making it necessary to
handle all conversions at the last
moment, and may result in the loss
of the privilege of conversion alto

ONE RESULT ON EASTERN
FRONT.

The foreign activities of the Com
mittee on Public Information are be-
ginning to bear fruit. A Russian
newspaper has made it's appearance
in this country with long and ex-
ceedingly laudatory article on the
virtues of Secretary McAdoo and his
wonderful genius as a railroad die
tator. Evidently the paper had not
been posted on the fact that the first
six months operation of the railroads
showed loss of about $500, 100000;
that the discourtesy of the operators
had become so gross as to call for
an admonition from Mr.. McAdoo, and
that the service has been worse in
stead of better, despite Is per cent
raise in freight rates and a SO per
cent increase in passenger rates.
The Committee on Public Informal
ton will undoubtedly see that no

to pay for the running of George
Creel's Committee on Public 1nfor-

mittee abroad was to disseminate the
propaganda of Americanism rather
than act as publicity agent for ambi-
tious administrators. Evidently the
people were mistaken in that belief.

SOUTHERN coloRED LEARNING
THRIFT.

At the meeting of American Bank
ers' Association at Chicago, R. S.
Hecht, vice-president of the Hibernia
Bank and Trust Co., New Orleans,
said:
''Never in their history have the
colored people of the South been so
prosperous. The average earnings
of farm hands have been doubled,
while the pay of colored men in other
labor has increased still more. AS a
result, in the delta country of the
Mississippi, from Memphis to the
gulf, you will find thousands of COL
ored men driving their own automo-
biles, and not Fords either, for a.
large part, but those of makes cost
ing from $1,000 to $1,000. The Lib
erty loan has appealed to their emo
tionalism, and as a result I look to
see the colored people more thrifty
and greater aid to the community"

relatively a large number. For a
number of months past no commits
sions as medical officers have been
granted to physicians OF that race
on the ground that the proportion of
medical officers for colored troops
has already been enrolled. A COM
mittee recently sought relief from
the Secretary of War for this situa-
ton, but was informed that there
are at present no prospects for more

American soldiers in France are al

world the reason for America and the

Their complete success and the con

of American rights, interests and
honor and the right of men to govern
themselves, are all assured with the
proper performance of the plainest
duty of the citizenry at home.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is our
next objective.
There is no geography, political OF
physical, in the patriotism of this
country. Democrats and Republicans
alike love their flag and are ready to
die for it. We continually insist for
all parties that the war be kept out
OF partisan politics and that partisan.
ship be kept out of the war.
Just as in Congress the Republicans
led the fight that made possible the
passage of the great war measures
so now the Party membership and or
ganization has an immediate, definite
war task in the accomplishment OF
which it can fully function. I repeat
let there be no contest in this country
as to anything that touches the war
except that contest-who best can
serve, who most can give
The Success of the Fourth Liberty
Loan shall be the Republican party's
supreme motif of thought and action
until that objective is attained.
Wherever Republicans are together
by two or two thousand, it shall be
win-the-war meeting. Just as the
Republican party's every action at all
times has been and shall be de-
termined solely by how we can con
tribute most to the wars success, sc
now our every thought and action
shall be determined entirely by how
we can make certain the quick over
subscription of the Fourth Liberty
Loan.
This is a united country's next
message to Germany.
The entire Republican organization
In every voting precinct in this coun.
