NOTABLE REMINDERS


Notable persons will give one-min-
ute speeches in the interest of the
Liberty Loan-that is. their filmed
representations will give the speech
es. This is how it Is done: The
speaker stands before the moving
picture camera and talks for a min
ute, telling why he thinks every one
should buy Government Bonds. His
words are taken down by a s%tenogra-
pher. A slide is made of the speech
and it is thrown on the screen. Then
the film speaker is put on the screen,
and you can almost imagine that you
hear every word.
These films and slides will appear
in towns all over the district during
the campaign.
Among those who have made min
ute speeches are Geraldine Farrar,

we'll, Rabbi Krauskopf and Cardinal
Gibbons.

MUST GO "OVER THE TOP"

Lancaster county's allotment OF
Liberty bonds is $191, 500. Approx
fimately one-fourth of this amount
was subscribed at the organization
meeting held last week in the court
house. These subscriptions, how
ever, were practically all from bust
ness men of Lancaster city. Heath
Springs was represented in the to-
tai amount subscribed by the two
citizens of that town who were pres
ent. There will be other subscrip-
tions from this city, from Heath
Springs and Kershaw, but the bulk
of the $4,000 now to be subscrib-
ed must come from the country dis
tricts of the county. The News was
informed yesterday that the farmers
are lining up" and will show their
patriotism by buying Liberty bonds
as far as their financial condition
will permit. This is good news but
is no more than expected The farm
ers are loyal, patriotic, honest citi-
zens. Their sons are fighting this
battle for world-freedOm alongside
the city son-there is no caste or dis
tinction in the lineup, and the farm
er is going shoulder-to-should

with the city man in backing up
these boys. The farmer is going 10
buy Liberty bonds not because he
knows his money is safe, but he does
know that; not for the interest the
his country to win the war and
stamp out autocracy and oppression
as he would stamp out a bed of
snakes on his land.
The News is a great believer i'm the
farmer, in his loyalty to State and
nation, his honesty. integrity and pa
triotism. Likewise The News would
not believe the farmer will permit
his city friends to carry the burden
of the war. The farmers share will
be taken by the farmer; and when
Lancaster county shall have gone
way "over the top in Liberty bond
subscriptions, the Lancaster county
farmers subscription will be record
ed as it ought to be recorded. Be-
cause we are believer in the farm
er, we believe the farmer will meas
ure up, and so far as his share of
Liberty bonds is concerned, he will
go lover the top"

There seems to be some kind Of
peculiar conception of the law by
which people believe that an en-
bezzler is absolved of all guilt if he
returns the money and thus "un-
does what he has done" We sus-
pect there are few murderers who
would not, after calm deliberation
over their acts, undo the crime, if
by which they might go free and be
absolved of all blame. 1t is such
conception Of the law, presumably,
that causes many people to believe
that the money put up by Major Pc
terson should be retained by the
State. They accept the theory that
the officer stole the money, but he
paid it back and therefore he should
go free. But Major Peterson does
not look at it that way He was
found by the jury mot guilty" and
that means lot more than some
people think. What went before the
jury and what didn't go before it,
is ruled out Of the argument, so far
as we are concerned, as irrelevant.
as lawyer would say. The facts TO
be considered are that Major Peter
son is mot guilty." even if he "got
the money" because the court. in
the proper course of court proceed
ure, has said he is not guilty: and
the money he put up with the State
treasurer should be returned. be-
cause the Shortage" it was to
cover did not exist, according to the
court.
