An imperialistic war OF conquest"
II has become increasing clear that
the war Is not one for tho defense Of
our national integrity. More and more
distinctly Is revealed It's character as
en- imperlallstic war Of conquest. More
and more unequivocally are policies OF
annexation professed. In the ses-
sion Of the Reichstag on May 2s, I0l5,
AAAN lptlAdA AfiAdAAtAAgl
proclaimed a war Of conquest; and In
the program Of this war, as our party
knew, was included the open annexa-

and the concealed annexation Of Bel

economic association.

WHAT ARE YOU WORTH!

Every man n this country today is a, liability or he is an asset" ac' curately asserts the Memphis News Scimitar in discussing the policy that each loyal American should follow. "There are but two sides to the ledger" continues the News -Scimitar "and man is but an item in the sys- tenn of bookkeeping. and If he is not no middle ground He mUzt be charged to one side or the other.
 "He is serving his country. or is a charge upon the resources of his country.
 "1'he trouble is not what we are spending; it is in what we are doinS
 "The man who works and saves and hoarG5 is not helping the coutry to meet it's obligators. The man who is helping is the one that works and earns and spends"
 "1here will be no financial crisis in the country as long as the people buy the things they desire, and the things they need.
 "The government is financed out of the taxes that are collected now, or that will be collected hereafter.
 "A profitless business yields noth ing to it's owners, and nothing to the government. The larger the vol unre of business, the larger is the government income from that source.
 '.The idea of the government of ficials is not to interfere with bus- ness, but to promote it. When bus1- ness stops, everything stops. The system of taxation has been so ar ranged that it will permit business to proceed without interruption, and still yield an income to the federal government"

WAR EXPENSES.

The fact that the British war ex penses are now $35,O00,OOO a day, and that in spite of this there will be nc conscription of wealth for the pres ent, indicates that we are far remov ed from this ourselves, provided we do not unload our wealth into the maw of war too quickly.
 If the nation cannot get the neces- sary money to conduct the war er- ficiency from the sale of Liberty bonds and w. $. S.. recourse of course must be had to other ways of raising money; and this will nnalterably lead to conscription of wealth. The latter is far distant-if the Notation oi Liberty bonds continues success If failure attends the SovcInment's g efforts in this respect it will be all over with bonds and mere drastic methods will be enforced-methods that will hit everybody owning prop erty, real or personal.
 1t is for this reason th:.i the sue cess of Liberty bond issues-in ad- dition to the war reason--should be pushed vigorously
