THE LIBERTY LOANS

The United States entered the war
on April 6, 1917. Eighteen days la
ter by practically unanimous vote
congress passed the Liberty loan
bond bill.
On May the first Liberty loan
was announced, on May IA the de-
tails were made public. and on the
18th the campaign began and closed
one month later. The issue was for
$4,000, ,00O,0 900, the bonds bearing
3ls per cent interest and running
for 1890 years. The bonds carried
the conversion privilege. emitting
the holder, II he chose. to convert
them into bonds of a later issue
bearing a higher rate of interest.
Four and a half million subscribers
from every section of the country,
representing every condition, race,
and class of citizens, subscribed for
more than sS,OOO.OOO,O0O of the
bonds. Only $4,000, 100000 was al
lotted.
The outstanding features of the
first Liberty loan were the prompt
ness with which 1t was arranged and
conducted, the patriotism OF the
newspapers, banks, corporations, or.
ganizations. and people generally In
working for its success, and the
heavy oversubscription of more thar
so per cent. Another notable fea.
ture was that there was no interrup.
tion to the business of the country
occasioned by the unprecedented de
mand upon its money resources.
The second Liberty loan campaign
opened on October /, 1917, ant
closed on October 27. Tie bonds o
this issue bear per cent interest ant
run for 1925 years. They carry th,
conversion privilege. 1t was announc
ed that so per cent of the oversub
scription would be taken. Nine mil
lion subscribers subscribed to a..
617532,000 of the bonds, an over.
subscription Of "a per cent. Only 49,
S0s,76s,15O Of the bonds was allot-
ted.
This campaign was marked with
the same enthusiastic support of the
public as Its predecessor. The labor
and fraternal organizations ~ere es-
pecially active in this campaign, and
! the women Of the country did eff
cient organized work which greatly
contributed to the success of the
loan. The men in the army and navy
worked for and subscribed largely
to the loan.
The third Liberty loan campaign
opened on April 8, 1918, one year
exactly after our entrance into the
war, and closed on May 4. The

NO PATRONAGE CONTROL NOW
Of Separation From
the Public Crib.
And the Staunch Old POstmaS-
ters, Boy Howdy!

Patronage amounting to more than
two million dollars a year and more
than 1000 good federal jobs-that
was the price of the Democrat defeat
in Tuesdays state wide election. By
losing their only United States senator
and all except one of their five con-
gressmen, Democrats have been prac-
tically shorn of all patronage control
in Kansas except such positions as
might be personally directed by the
president over protest of nine mem
bers of the house and senate from this
state.
When the partial counts began to
pour into Topeka late Tuesday after
noon, any uncertainty which remained
as to results. quickly vanished. By 3
o'clock Tuesday night there was doubt
only as to the election of congressman
in the Second and Eighth districts. By
midnight Republicans were safely in
control of everything except the
Eighth district, which slipped away
today under a practically complete re-
port from each of the five counties
Of the district.
Away From Crib.
Last night more than 1000 federal
appointees in Kansas went to bed to
dream of separation from the public
rather roughly pushed away from the
public milking post and in many in
stances the treatment caused troubled
slumbers and a tinge of nightmare.
With the sudden swing back to a
Republican stronghold, Kansas ar
ranged to bid goodbye to practically
the entire army of job holders. Jobs
affected by Tuesdays election will
number not less than 1000. They
may reach 1000. Scores of men and
women in the state are in department.
al service due to congressional influ-
ence. In addition to these jobs, the
working forces thru the farm loan
bank. the internal revenue office. the
department of Justice and other
branches of the government have
been greatly augmented. Inspectors
and investigators have been named in
large numbers and very few of these
persons are on a salary basis of dol
lar year and a permit to pay their
own expenses.
Poor Old Postmasters.
Then there are the postmasters-
earnest, loyal, hard working stamp
stickers. Scores of these men have
been carefully selected from ranks of
the best political organizers in the
community. A Republican congress
sional delegation in Washington means
nothing sbut dreary days for these
agents of the government. Many pres
ent job holders will hear a call back
to a real estate or law office and there
will be sadness and sorrow. The Re-
publican delegation may encounter
trouble in displacing some of these
faithful servants who have become
accustomed to place on the govern
ment pay roll. But in some manner.
with some degree of haste in some in
stances, it will be done.
1t is probable that not less than
1000 persons subject to removal re-
ceive remuneration equal to $4,000 a
year. That means that the election
has cost the Democrats 1000 earnest
workers and organizers and not less
than two million dollars in revenue as
reward for service of their highly ef-
ficient and loyal workers.

30 q Phoenix Pioneer Could Do Moth

Painter and Decorator.

Phil Snodgrass, a former resident, Is
visiting Phoenix and refreshing the
memories of the few old-timers who
remain, the Arizona Republican states.
Most of them had forgotten the names
and even the existence of many Of the
residents of more than q generation
ago. Mr.. Snodgrass recalls them all
and has asked about them. He re-
members landmarks that long since
have disappeared and were forgotten
by those who had become familiar
with the buildings that had taken their
places.
The coming of Mr.. Snodgrass has
revived many incidents connected with
the lives Of the old-timers. ii. II. Pat

Had Been Through He'll.

Louis RaemaekerS, the famous
Dutch cartoonist, now in this coun-
try, whom the London Times has
called 1.-THE only great genius brought
out by the war;" was unheard OF be-
fore the war began. On August l.,
1914, he was living quietly with his
family, contentedly painting the tulip
fields, waterways, cattle and windmills
of his native Holland. Four days later
he drew the first cartoon, "Christen-
dom After Twenty Centuries" of a
series that was to reveal him as a
champion of civilization and make his
name household word in every coun-
try. Raemaekers personally investi.
gated the Belgian horror, and though
q hundred of his early cartoons bear
witness to the burning impression
made upon his mind, he has only once
brought himself to speak publicly of
this experience. 1t was at u dinner
given the artist at the Savage club,
London, and, pointing to the portraits
of Peary, Shott, Nansen and Shackle-
ton, Raemaekers said: II, too, have
been an explorer, gentlemen. l have
explored hell, and it was terror I'M
speakable." Raemaekers is in his for
ty-eighth year.

Hollands Foreign Trade.

The "In- en- Uitvoer" publishes
the following analysis of Dutch for
eign trade during the first half Of
1917:
The value of the leading articles
imported into Holland from Germany,
or rather, of those articles which are
included in the official figures Of the
central bureau of statistics ("Maand-
statistiek van den In en- Uitvoer en-
van het Entrepotverkeer") in the first
quarter of the year was 25,365, 107 for
lns (about S10.400,000 at exchange Of
S0.4D, and, in the second quarter, 45,-
2S4,606 forms (about S1S,567, O0O), a
total of 7O649,713 forms in the first
six months of 1917. The value of the
chief articles exported to Germany was
49,247,575 forms (about $2O,191, 5OO)
in the first quarter and 52,S41 POP flor
ms (about $21, 665 ,O00) in the second,
or t02, 0SS,777 forms for the half year.
Thus, in the first quarter Holland sent
almost twice as much to Germany as
it received, but in the second quarter
the import trade with Germany almost
balanced the export trade.
