THE AMERICAN PEOPLES WAR.
There are still some who need to be
reminded that there are times when
to play politics is criminal and this is
one of those. times.
President Wilson is commander-in-
chief of the armed forces of the re-
public, not because he is a democrat,
for republican might have been in
his place and have had the same prob
lens to solve. He is the commander
because, having been placed in the
presidential chair, he came under the
provision of the constitution that pla-
ces in the hands of that official the
leadership of the nation in times of
war. He is asking your support, not
because you are a democrat, or a re-
publican, or member of any other
party, but because you are an Amer
lean, and your country is in danger
and in urgent need of your services.
He is asking your loyalty because he
is doing his utmost to win YOUR bat

terests.

Several of the sales committees did splendid work today and report | generous response among the peo- pie who were eager to go on roll as 2 purchasers of Liberty Bonds. With this splendid start, Jackson county ah0uld meet no difficulty in raising it's quota in three days. If we can do this, Jackson county will be made the proud owner of an honor flag. We have never fallen down with any un- dertaking, and while we all know our quota will be we'll oversubscribed, the thing to work for is in closing the deal in three days, or sooner.
 The real patriot does more than he feels he's able to do. If you believe you are able to carry one Liberty Bond, you must carry two.
 -O-
 The savage hun cut the throats of four American sentries, which is an- other reason Jackson county should Eo over the top for Liberty in three days. Do your utmost.
 Stop worrying about other com munities. Your responsibility starts and stops at home. See that you do your own big share.
 Today is the biggest day in the his- tory of Jackson county.

STOP CIRCULATION
FINISHED MYSTERY"
LITERATURE IN CITY

That an effort is being made to
mould popular sentiment in favor
of "The Finished Mystery" was
learned this morning when four peo-
pie were discovered distributing lit
erature, favorable to the book.
"The Finished Myster" is the Pas
tor Russell publication, the publica-
tion and distribution of which was
stopped by the government, when
U. S. attorneys declared the publ
cation to be seditious Many copies
IT, the book were seized in Chicka-
sha and the agents ordered to stop
selling the publication.
The literature being distributed
this morning in Chickasha was in
the form of circular headed, "'The
Finished Mystery and Why it was
Suppressed" In the opinion of Off
cials the circular itself did not con-
tain any of the seditious matter,
which feature caused the suppress
sion of the book The subject mat
ter of the circular, however, was in
a way descriptive of the book, claim
ing that it was purely of a religious
nature. After reciting many para
graphs, intended to be favorable to
the book, the circular was conclud-
ed by a petition blank made out to
tho president of the United States,
and in which the signer claiming to
bo an American, asked that the book
be allowed circulation and that the
order suppressing it be lifted.
There are loyal people in Chicka-
sha, many of them as was shown
by the fact that shortly after these
circulars began to appear in homes
this morning, being placed there by
a quartet of distributors, calls came
to the police station, the office of
the United States deputy marshal

and to the office of the county food
administrator.
Immediately Police Officers Dwyer
and Baird and Deputy U. S. Marshal
Dillon set out in search of those dis
tributing the literature. On South
Seventh street they found Mrs A. l.,
Phillips, who resides at 708 South
Fourth street, and a woman who
said her home is in Carnegie. These
women we're distributing the litera-
ture. On Minnesota avenue, the Of
ficers discovered B. G. Moffatt, who
lives at 814 Minnesota, and w. L.
Parks of 1914 South Fifth street, en-
gagged in the same occupation. All
were instructed to stop distribution
of the literature Immediately and to
suspend the scattering of the prop
aganda until they received further
orders from the deputy United
States marshal No arrests were
made.
Both men declared to the officers
that they were employees of the Rock
Island shops.
Speaking of the matter, Officer
Dwyer said, "They claim that this is
their religion. l can't see it that
way. don't care how good your
religion is, you can't afford to lay
off work, like these men say they
are doing, to hand out dope on that
religion. These circulars don't seem
to be seditious, but they are in fa-
yor of seditious book. All l want
is orders to stop 'em, and believe
me they will stop"
Later in the day three more wom-
en- were found distributing the lit
erature and we're stopped. They
were: Mrs. Cummins. Carnegie Mrs
Atwood, Chickasha, Mrs. Henderson,
Chickasha.
