Superintendent H. e. Blackmar feels
that this is movement which should
be encouraged by the schools as 1t Is
practically the only way of interesting
many of the children In conservation
in any form. He believes that through
the schools many homes will be
reached, for the matter will be dis
cussed at home and thus the families
will become interested.
Although this work involves added
responsibility for the teachers, since
they must buy the stamps themselves
at the postofice and be responsible for
their sale, nevertheless most OF them
have shown themselves willing to do
all in their power to help in the cam

FOR SUMMARY ACTION.

Never in history has there been a
time when the issue between decency
and outlawry was more important
than now. Ottumwa faces that issue
and because official laxity permits
lawlessness to flourish it becomes the
duty of every decent, patriotic citizen
to help in stamping it out
While hundreds of thousands Of our
own young men are giving their youth
and Offering their lives in war that
laws of morality and right shall pre-
vail, dozens of persons right here in
Ottumwa are exhibiting an extreme
degree of moral degradation and dis
loyalty by selling liquor illegally and
by conducting gambling joints.
While thousands right here at home
are giving their time and money to
support the legitimate demands the
war is making upon them, those same
lawless and disloyal dozens are doing
everything in their power to harm the
community, weaken its moral stamina
and physical strength and make it
less fit to meet the duties and re-
sponsibilities of a nation at war.
The gambler and the bootlegger do
not produce one penny's worth of
anything which helps the country or
the men who are fighting to preserve
its government They are load and
liability to any community they infest.
They are bad at any time, but their
existence at this period Of crisis is a
declaration of criminal disloyalty.
They are entitled to no slightest
measure of respect, consideration nor
mercy at the hands of the community.
They must be stamped out by an
aroused and angered public. Every
gambler and every bootlegger is a
leech and a parasite. They bring
nothing into a community but crime
and misery. They steal living from
those who work.
The mothers. fathers, wives and
children of our soldiers and the SOL
diers themselves are carrying the bur-
den these traitors place on the COM
munity. The people who are loyal to
their government are Weakening to this
fact and they will not submit long.
The legitimate burden of wartime is
heavy enough without being increased
by such a fleeing process as is now
in force right here in Ottumwa.

THE WAY TO VICTORY.

Just about the time we get to think.
ing that, after all, there may be some
thing to all this talk about a possible
insurrectfon in Germany, some sane
American comes along and brings us
down to earth with the blunt state
ment that the only way by which this
war ever can be won is through the
destruction Of the German army. And
here in the United States we need
just such Earring recall to facts.
every 50 often. The subsidized Ger
man press and the industrious German
press agents have been feeding the
outside world for years on the fallacy
that Germany was about to starve or
else go sky-rocketing off into an orgy
Of socialistic revolt that would make
the experiences of revolution-ridden
Russia during the past nine months
seem like a mild curtain raiser.
This time it is Congressman Clar-
ence B. Miller of Minnesota, who has
returned but recently from Europe,
who brushes away the decisions Of q
peace without fighting for It. He says:
The German military power will
be crushed only through the de-
struction of the German army in
the field. There will be no insur-
rection within the empire to
overthrow the kaiser, and the
German people will not be starved
out. Peace talk must be dropped
and the United States prepare to
deliver the final blow that will
put the German military giant
down forever.
If the adjournment Of congress last
autumn had served no other good pur-
pose it would have been justified by
the fact that it afforded opportunity
for Mr.. Miller and several other men,
bers Of congress to visit the war zone
and bring back some first-hand facts
with a true American flavor.
Germany made three mistakes, Mr..
Miller said. First, the error in under
estimating Belgium's determination
and power to resist; second. the belief
that England would not get into the
war to defend Belgium's rights and to
carry out its alliance with France;
third, the confident assurance that
America would not fight.
Americas soldiers in France, Mr..
Miller says, are "a feast to the eye"
They are imbued with the spirit to
advance, he says, and he declares that
when they do advance they will make
history for Uncle Sam.
All of which is very inspiring, ex-
cep., perhaps, tie blow the congress-
