Uncle Sam Is to Conserve
Gold Only by Distributing
1t For the Essential Uses
Need a new gold tooth?
Going to wed during the war?


Going to wed during the war?
Better order that ring right away.
Expecting to invest in gold luxuries?
Better forget that-it can't be done
during this mans war.
For our Uncle Sam has decided TO
keep a little red book on the gold sup
ply.
The gold administrator may not
come to rival the fuel administrator,
the food conservator and the gasoline
checker
But gold-the commodity-will here
after be distributed in bullion as the
wholesale manufacturing jeweler and
the dentist and other finer craftsmen
set forth their absolute requirements.
Use of gold, the commodity, will be
restricted to the essentials.
An officer of the assay office ex-
plains as follows:
''As far as we know, first instruc-
tons to stop exchanging gold bullion
for gold coin or cash has been rescind-
ed. We have resumed the exchange in
a modified or restricted way. The fu-
ture course will be governed by the
drain that is made on the supply. 1t
will work out as simply as the cam
paigns to conserve sugar, wheat, fuel
and gasoline. And in a close way the
plan follows the same general pur-
pose. The government will keep track
of its gold supply, see who needs II
and who gets it, and viii stop any at
temptS to hoard it."

Woman's Part in War.
The greatest factor in overcoming
the German state of mind is woman,
who for the first time in a war has a
recognized place outside of hospital
work. The. Women'S Association of
Commerce of the United States of
America has taken the initiative in
stopping German propaganda by re-
fusing to listen to it. The members
of this organization. of which Flor
ence King, the Chicago attorney. is
the president, and Mrs. Howard Gould,
secretary, have started an endless
chain looking to this end. Our quar-
rel is directly with the German people,
make no mistake about that, for we
are fighting system that must be
abolished. Therefore this war is not
a question of men primarily. 1t is not
a question of food primarily. 1t is
not a question of ships primarily. 1t
is the question of state of mind.
That state of mind must be burned
clean with the cauStic of civilization
and if you doubt the bignesS of that
job let me quote the plans Germany
has for you. You will find this plan in
a book called "Krieg" written by Klaus
Wagner. The whole story is told in
this paragraph:
Not only North America, but the whole
of America must become a bulvark OF
Germanic kultur. perhaps the strongest
fortress of the Germanic race. That is
every ones hope who has freed himself
from his own local European pride and
who places the race feeling above the
love for home.

line: "he who places the race feeling
above his love for home" What is
your answer to Doctor Wagner's pre-
scription. The answer is best made

GO TO IT, MIR. McADOO

!: To keep the railroads "up to full efficiency"
the railroad administration has approved an ex
penditure of $937, 961,318 for this year. 1t is
pointed out that this is three times as much as
has been spent for like purposes in any of the
three past years. 49,
!: Sure it is! During those three past years
the roads were run on q policy Of SHOW profit,
and service TO- the public besdamned, to para
phrase the statement Of a famous railroad man.
Also "What the H do we care for efficiency"
And the result was that they were in rotten
shape when Uncle Sam took 'em over. That's
why he took 'em over.
Woodrow Wilson realized that in this war it is
exactly service and efficiency we have to have, not
profits at all. The private ownership proposition
as applied to such patent public necessity as
the railroads simply wouldn't do in a crisis. For
private ownership can never spell anything much
different from profit making, and profit making
in war time degenerates into profiteering which
is absolutely against public interest.
Go to it, Mr.. McAdoo! America understands
this business. All that America is looking for
from you today is efficient facilities for trans
porting materials where they are needed-from
mine to mill, and from mill to DOCK to be sent
over the sea to lick the kaiser All that the coun
try demands is that the money be spent for the
purposes you have named. And their minds are
Fairly easy on that point, for they know that,
under our new war system, it can't go into excess
dividends to make two war millionaires sprout
where one sprouted before.

SOME LEFT-HANDED LOYALTY
TEACHERS

Among the leading Arizona citizens indicted
by federal grand jury were the leader OF the
Bisbee Loyalty league and an organizer Of the
same league. e.>
What these self-consttuted loyalsts were in
dcted for was conspiracy to deprive American
citizens of their constitutional rights. 1t is
charged they helped bankers, business men and
mine managers and politicians to forcibly deport
from Bisbee about 1900 citizens, who happened
to be union miners. t"'|
At the time this outrage happened the story
went out all over the country that the deported
men were l. w. WIS. It subsequently developed
that they were nothing of the kind, but that on
the contrary some of them were owners Of Lib
erty bonds as we'll as owners of their homes.
:, Loyalty leagues are all right if their loyalty
is to the United States government the American
constitution and the rights of man. But when
they are used as thin disguise under which gross
outrages on liberty are perpetrated-well, that's
something else again. -,
It is wise precaution to be dead sure the
bosses of so-caed loyalty leagues are loyal to
the American constitution, to law and to justice.
