Contributed by ROBERT HER.
RICK to the National Security
Leagues campaign Of Patriotism
Through Education.)
Returning from Europe, cursed with
war, | was more convinced than Of
anything else in life that what Is be-
Ing slowly settled in that grim trench
land over there DOES mean some
thing to us-more, oh, 30 much more,
than money or legal rights or SYM
pathy for bleeding humanity. Not
that am especially apprehensive Of a
raid on these United States, the crum-
bling of our skyscrapers, with the ex-
action of colossal indemnities. That,
too, of course, might happen If Ger
man arms were triumphant, if the
pax Germanica were imposed upon a
beaten world.
But that Is not to me the worst. To
me the German peril does not lie so
much In her big guns, her submarines,
her "Prussianized war machine" 1t
lies in herself, in her image of the
world. If Germany could win even
partial victory under her monstrous
creed of applied materialism, illuminat-
ed as 1t has been by every sort Of Gym
ical crime, with its reasoned defiance
OF contract, its principle Of indispensa-
Ole severities," it's military logic, ETC.,
THAT must become the moral law of
all the world-the jungle law! In or.
der to survive we must all accept this
law of the jungle. And of all the
prostrate peoples Of the world forced
TO accept the victor's new version of
the ancient commandments proud
America would be the first. We cam
not resist the fascination of success.
30 the German ideal, the German
tyranny over the individual, the Ger.
man morality-one rule for you and
me as individuals and another utterly
irresponsible rule when we get togeth-
er as a state-would be initiated by
us more than the German thorough
ness In civil and military organization.

CITY AND COUNTRY IN WAI

 CITY AND COUNTRY IN WAR. The youth from the city who is placed in the army most frequently is taken from what is termed non productive employment, or the non- essential industries.
 The youth from the country who is clothed in khaki usually is an impor- tant economic factor He is engaged in the most productive employment on earth-the production of food, which is doubly important calling during the war. 1t is the quintessence of economic Sd, .llice to d soil-tiller to have his "hands" drafted-which, by the way isn't being done as much now as was the case less than year ago.
 We should recognize the fact, and give due credit, that an economic sac rifice such as the country people have made speaks doubly emphatically in favor of their patriotism They have given up men for the first line trenches while at the same time them selves keeping up an industry that is as important as the front line trenches.

 Thrashing the kaiser is like thresh- ing wheat--and both are hard work, but must be done.
 We had to lick the English to make them properly value democracy, but now they value it so highly that they are not only making the greatest sac rifice to maintin it, but are celebrat- ing with us the day we declared for independence and the right of self government. Only big, broad people are capable of such magnanimity and honesty.

THE MONEY FOR WAR.

President Wilson has asked for a revenue bill that will yield eight bill lion dollars. It is said that congress will compromise on one that will yield six billion dollars.
 This huge sum will be raised by taxation and bonds-more taxation than ever before. It is to the credit of the country that few have raised their voices against the character of taxation that is contemplated.
 The treasury department in 1917 estimated that the total income ofsthe counry is sixty billion dollars annual. ! ly. Some other statistical sources are more conservative and place it at fifty billion and slightly less.
 The proposal is to take by taxation one-eighth of the sixty-billion dollar

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS Pre5iaent American Society for YAryi

and clothing. Waste of time is just as bad as waste of food or any other material resource. It would be fine example of patriotism for each person who had planned vacation to vol untar;ly eliminate one week of it. The aggregate benefit of such action would mean much to our country in winning the war.
 We are eliminating other forms of waste with an enthusiasm born of pa triotic devotion. Why not eliminate the worst waste of all-waste of time?
 The elimination of one week of our vacation would make possible the sav- ing of several million dollars in railway fare, hotel bills and miscellaneous vaca- tion expenses. If this saving were placed in Liberty Bonds or Thrift Stamps our act of patriotism would be thus further shown.
 This is not in any way 8 sweeping condemnation of vacations. The vaca- tion is not to be considered as an act of thriftlessness. But our standards of today are not what they were two years ago nor what they will be when peace comes again.
 The vacation is good thing gener- ally because it gives one rest and change which prolongs life and adds to our efficiency. But the need of man power is so urgent in winning the war that there should be no let down. The machine of national activity must be kept running at top speed until tho war is won, no matter what inconven- fence it may cause to the individual.
 The necessity of yesterday has be- come the luxury of today. The vaca- tion is an example.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-07-05

. vacation may be looked upon as a good investment of time "a worthy example of thrift. But in the abnor- nal days of war when every bit of man. power that can be obtained should be made available, we should look on it as a patriotic duty-as an instance of patriotic thrift -t to either eliminate our vacations entirely or cut them down very materially.
 There are probably at least 4O,0o0,- GOO people in the United States who normally take vacations running from one week to two months. It is not } possible to make an accurate estimate of these figures, but even two weeks each for 4O,OoO,0 1000 people would be equal to the time of several hundred thousand citizens for period of the whole year. Just at this time our nation can ill afford this loss of human endeavor.
 We are crowding to the limit to get our soldiers over to the fighting front. Their places must be filled at home, and they must be supplied with food

It is difficult to understand the req sons underlying the attitude of some cattle owners to the dipping law.
 The ordinary business man is quick enough to adopt methods which in crease his revenue and profits.
 Perhaps because so many farmers are opposed to any change in the customs handed down by past genera tions of farmers is why so few attain affMence; why many are unable to have those conveniences and comforts found on the farms and in the homes of the keen, progressive farmer who mixes a little brains with his farm ing.
 Take cattle dipping, for instance It is not a new thing. It has been demonstrated that the tick-free anil maj can be fattened for market at less cost than the COW or steer on which ticks feed, and that tick-free beef brings more per pound than the poor-quality tick stock. It has been proved that dipping cattle will rid them of ticks. The cost is small.
 All this being true. where is the good business sense in objecting to dip cattle.
 Cattle owners who object to dip ping for ticks are in the position of men who are opposed to increasing their profits.
