OUR STANDARD
HAS BEEN SET

The mere purchase of a mod
crate amount of Liberty Bonds,
and the payment of taxes with
out protest does not make up
the whole duty of an American
citizen today.
Something far deeper. fur
ther-reaching in its effect is
called for than the lending or
giving up of money under the
pressure of popular demand or
the attention of the tax collec-
tor.

USED CLOTHING NEEDED

At the request of Herbert
Hoover, Chairman for the Com
mission for Relief in Belgium,
the American Red Cross will
conduct a drive during the week
of September 23c Both, to collect
an additional 5000 tons of used
clothing for the Belsians.
OF this 5000 tons, $50 tons are
allotted to the Pacific Division.
Allotments are now being made
and will be forwarded to al
Chapters in the Division within
the next two or three days.
Hoover's plea to Henry p.
Dawson, Chairman of the Rec
Cross War Council, follows:
'The ten million imprisoned
people in occupied Belgium anc
France are facing shame, suffer.

A REPUBLICAN RECORD

Every six minutes, " observes
the Washington Post. "a mer-
chant vessel arrives and another
departs from American ports.
From North Atlantic seaports,
there is a departure every clever
minutes: and one from Europe
every forty minutes. This rate
of operation does not include
vessels in the service Of the
army and navy. The merchant
feet of 1,500 ships under the con-
troll of the shipping board are rur
as railroads on a time schedule. y
The above-a record to be
proud of speaks volumes for
the constructive ability and the
vision of President Wilson and
his party supporters. 1t was
made possible by a democratic
congress, not with the help but
in despite of the opposition of
republican members of the Sem
ate and House. During the ses-
sion of 1914-15 President Wilson
urged congress to provide the
means by which the government
could go into the ship-building
business. He foressw then the
necessity for ships, The House
passed the bill, but the Senate
republicans killed it by a fill
buster in the closing days of the
1915 session. The next session
the bill was reintroduced and
ultimately was forced to passage
by democrats over the vigorous
protest of republicans. The vote
in the House was 209 TO 161. Of
the 161 negative votes, 100 were
cast by republicans. 1t passed
the Senate. 3S to Il. Of the q
votes in opposition, 20 were cast
by republicans. The leaders of
the minority party in both the
House and Senate were among
those who fought the ship-build-
ing bill. And now they seek to
convince the country that they
should be given control of the
next congress to help the presi-
dent win the war;" Judging by
past performance on this most
important of all war-winniDg
measures, the help" a republi-
can controlled congress would
give the president would be de-
structive rather than construc-
tive.

We Must Reach a Higher
Standard of Living.
We have lived altogether too
much for ourselves; for mate
rial things. Henceforth our OBJ
ject must be slowly but surely
to drive out the thought of self,
and to so order our personal and
business affairs that our Coun-
try, and the Great Cause for
which the whole civilized world
is fighting shall be our first con-
sideration.
The possibility of bringing
the gr.at bulk of our people to
such a frame of mind may be
thought by some to be an emp
ty dream. Such is not the
case. Men used to every lux
ury that the world can afford.
young men just starting out on
a successful business or pro-
fessional career, clerks from
the department stores, boys on
the farm, street laborers who
have hardly learned to use our
tongue, young women who
might marry we'll and settle
down to a life of comfort
these people in their thousands
have seen that glorious vision
of America as the Savior of the
world, and of themselves as the
instruments of that salvation.
Let Us Try to Rise to the Same
Level
As have these men and
women who have given money,
future, life itself, to the service
of their country. Let us lend
our money to the Government
as they have given their lives,
cheerfully and fearlessly.
Let the requests Of our Cow
ernment which are published
widely from time to time be re.
garded as sacred Obligations.
The Government has told us
that the hardest work we are
capable of, economy and sacri.
fee, are the great needs of the
nation. Again. the Govern
ment has told us that the addi-
tional wealth we produce is
needed for national expenditure
and that
We Must Support the Liberty
Loans
Just as the soldier persist
emily and consistently carries
out orders, so must we.
1t is only by following out
the full scheme of the Govern
ment for us as individuals that
we can do our duty. For in
stance, the man who has not
worked hard, produced more
than ever before, economical
and saved, will not be able to
meet the demands of the next
Liberty Loan. 1t is now that
we must be producing and saw.
ing for our Liberty Loan sub
scriptions.
Start working, saving, plan
ming now for the Fourth Liber-
ty Loan.

TRAVELETTE
q THEATER IA IAYA.
By NIKsAH

AVA is an island dimly reminis-
cent to the Occidental mind Of
coffee and OF brown. scantiIy clad
natives. These are memories Of the
Java OF our school books. The books
rarely get far enough away from the
business at hand to elaborate on the
theaters Of Java. which. the natives
can tell you. are far more interesting
than coffee plantations.
The Javanese so enjoy the wander
ing theaters OF their land that they
will walk miles to see one OF their
epics or folk tales produced either by
puppets or by real players. Wherever
the manager sets VI his stage there
is the jabbering Javanese crowd,
eager for evening and the prospect
i've treat.
The professional native orchestra
opens the performance with a violent
rendition of classical Javanese music.
Kettledrums, violin, piano-the Java
nese conception OF these instruments
are earnestly attacked in a soul
rending onslaught which seems to
predict a gripping play to follow.
Soon the dancers appear and the mu-
sic sinks to a thin wall. With the
stiffly graceful gesture Of Oriental
dancing slightly modified TO suit the
Javanese taste in art, they glide and
sway to suit the words which other
members Of the troupe are singing in
explanation Of the play
The play itself is from local tradi-
ton, or from some anecdote OF the
gods AS in the old Greek drama, the
players are sometimes masked. the
hero, heroine and villain being dis
tinguishabIe to the audience by their
distinctive masks. The play rambles
on, with here and there an exciting
incident. There is no attempt at a
carefully planned plot with climax
in the second act. The play may be
continued tomorrow night or even for
several consecutive nights. II Il is a
puppet show, the manager may intro
duce a few new features or even an
impromptu act or So The Javanese
