most inaccessible hooks that remain
In this country today, what is probably

The beaver was once one of the mOsl

the ease with which he was trapped

Intolerance.

The truth is, the notion that an in
tellectual recognition of certain dog
mas is the essential condition of saliva
ton lies at the bottom of all intOler
ance in matters of religion. Under this
impression, men are too apt to forget
that the great end of Christianity is
love, and that charity is its crOWning
virtue they overlook the beautiful sig
niticance of the parable of the hereto
Samaritan and the orthodox PhariSee
and thus, by suffering theirAspeculative
opinions of the next world to make
them uncharitable and cruel in this

BILLIONS FOR DEFENSE.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
will offer for subscription every two
weeks between now and the opening
of the next Liberty Loan Treasury
Certificates of Indebtedness in am
cunts of five hundred million dollars
or more. If all the banks of the
country do their share, and it is-con
templated that they will, three bill
lion dollars of the certificates will be
taken by them between now and the
fiotation of the next Liberty Loan.
The raising of five hundred mil
lion dollars every two weeks seems a
tremendous task, yet in relation to
the banking resources of the United
States it seems easy of accomplish
ment.
The resources of the national banks
of the United States on November 20
last were more than eighteen and
half billion dollars and the resources
of state banks and trust companies
on June 20, 1917, were practically
twenty-One billion.
The resources of both have in
creased since the dates named when
the latest reports were made. The
three billion expected by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is less than 10
per cent of the banking resources of
the Nation.
The banking power of the world in
1890 was estimated at fifteen and ID
half billion dollars; the banking pow
er OF the United States is now two
and half times as great as the bank
ing power of the world as late as
that year.
The United States is just begin
ming to demonstrate it's unexampled
power and might. 1t is called upon
to defend the liberty of the world, to
preserve civilization and humanity.
1t is answering in way to demon
strate that it is equal to the task
in courage, in genius, in men, and
in money.

GRUDGING PRAISE.

Even Colonel Roosevelt, the arch
critic of the Wilson administration,
has been forced to admit that Jose
phus Daniels is efficiently handling
the. navy in the greatest war of all
history. But the COlone1's commend
alton of Secretary Daniels is given
reluctantly and half-heartedly. In
the midst of a general broadside be-
fore the National Press Club of Wash
ington recently, the Colonel said:
Take the Navy Department. In the
first six months after this war open
ed the Navy Department showed poor
work, very poor work, owing to in
decision and delayr-work so poor
that if we had been pitted against
any formidable enemy able to keep
the seas, we would have paid in dis
aster. for it. Dating from about Oc-
tober there has come remarkable
change in the Navy Department.
From that date to this, on the whole
the Navy Departments work has been
done we'll
Then, as if. fearing he had been
too generous in his praise, the Col
onel took back-handed clap at Sec
retary Daniels because the Secretary
had refused to reinstate in his good
graces the so-called Navy League, a
privately financed organization which
sought and failed to force it's views
as. to the conduct of, the navy upon
the. Secretary.
Nor was Colonel Rooseyelt's grudg
ing approval Of the navy entirely
fair. He sought to convey the i'm
preston that the navy was not ready
until the United States had been at
war for six. months and had only
been adequately on the job since Oc-
tOber. What he should have said,
il, as he declared, he wanted to tell
the full truth, was that the navy was
not ready when the great world war
began nearly four years ago, and the
reason it was not ready was because
Secretary Daniels had a herculean
task during the first year OF his in
cumbency in rehabilitating the Navy,
which had been permitted to retro
grade during Republican control in
Washington.
Had the Colonel really wanted, as
he, said, to tell all the truth he would
have said that the Navy was ready
when we entered the war. He would
have. expressed his pride, as Senator
Kenyon did in the Senate, in the ac-
cOmplishments of the navy. He
would have reminded the American
people. that there have been no Ger
man raiders at large in the Atlantic
since Uncle Sans sea fighters have
been on the job, and he would have
commented fayorably. upon, the alb
sence, OF German submarines in Am
erican waters. He also, had he de-

1t is evident that the performance

Since the advent of the automobile

under the impression that war horses
are not used so extensively in the

not the case. There are many sec

horse is absolutely indispensable for
the transportation of supplies.
