seven years and fined not more than
$1,000.
So in these times the safe path for
native born, naturaliZed and the
alien Is not only to avoid treason
ones self, but, if one learns OF II,
either to go in person or write some
of the offers named in the statute
and tell him what one knows.
1t is not necessary for me to tell
you the many forms treason may
take, for treason will always find a
hundred different secret ways in
which it can give aid and sympathy
to the enemy. But right can take
but one plain course. Be loyal, true,
straight and square to the govern
ment and you will be sure you are
not committing treason. l am not
trying to tell people how near they
can approach the line of treason
without crossing it. 1 am telling
them how far they can keep from
the line by simply being loyal to the
flag and America.
When a man is driving along a
precipice he tries ito drive as far
away from the edge as he can. My
advice to every foreign-born man
who comes to me will be: Put a flag
at your door, another on your coat,
and above all keep one in your heart.
If you do, you will stand foursquare
as countrymen of Washington and
Lincoln, and no nation has ever loved
any leader, be he king or kaiser,
sultan or czar, as all nations to-day
love George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln. In following their
loyal footsteps no man of any race
can go astray.

RI the question which many of
the Red Cross fund solicitors
are asked by those they approach
for contributions.
There is no general answer, but
If one must be given the solicitor
is justified in replying:
"Give about twice the amount you
feel you can conveniently give"
Giving is not giving until there is
a real sacrifice involved. Tossing
out a dollar where five are needed is
merely getting rid of an obligation
in the easiest possible way, regard
less of the personal duty involved
Give as the Lord has prospered
thee" is an old injunction. 1t fits
very we'll in this case.
The Red Cross has need for every
dollar that can be gathered. The
women and children who are giving
their days and evenings to its work,
and their dollars, too, for that mat
ter are rendering a service that
many others cannot give. The dol
lar is an order for 100 cents worth
of labor or 100 cents worth of
goods. The giver of the dollar gives
both of his labor and his goods.
How much ought you give?
Down in your heart you know; it
Is all a matter of obeying the i'm
pulse.

PERSONAL GOVERNMENT

THE chief moral which adorns
the tale of Gutzon Borglum's s
activities in the aircraft inves-
tigation has nothing to do with the
charges which Senator Thomas, of
Colorado, has caused to be brought
out against the sculptor. It has to
do with the Presidents persistent
practice of naming personal repre-
sentatives" to deal with the most
Important and delicate problems
which the administration is forced,
to handle.
In Mexico, in Europe. in this coun-
try, as well, we have seen process
sion of these men. commissioned by
private letter or by word of mouth
and authorized to use, public monies
and agencies, attempting TO unravel

most enlightened treatment.

incidents when the troop trains ar

Often there is time for a waitress
to hear the whole life history of a
customer while he consumes his
order. OF course, some mattresses
and some customers make better use
of the time than others.
One soldier, while getting outside

marriage. His home was on farm
in Oklahoma, he said. and IL had
been a bum farm until they struck
oil in the midst of it.

worth $500 and I have an in

waitress, "I wonder they ever let
you escape. mean. wonder you
are not married"
"WeIl, 1 would be-" responded the
soldier, "but the trouble is all You
good looking women are already
msrried."

widows. Don't .you like widows 2"
volunteered the waitress.
You bet I-do," he replied heart

asked. Are you a widow"
'Yes, am widow" admitted the
waitress.

PROTECTION WINS

THE biggest convert to the creed
/ of tariff protection that has
shit the traiT' in a long time
is Charles H. Sabin, president of the
Guaranty Trust Company, OF New
York. From his address to the Ma
tional Association of Cotton Manu-
facturers recently, an address which
was highly applauded, the following
is taken:
The position of the country
should be materially improved at
the close of the war. We have be-
come a creditor nation and Will
continue to be. At the outbreak
of the war we were debtors to the
extent of $4,000, 900, 900 or $6,000,-
10000. Since then we have re-
ceiYed over $1,000, 100000 of gold
froh abroad. 1t will be necessary
for us to conserve our strength
by every wise precaution we can
devise. Chief among these meas
ures is apt to be that of an ade-
quate protective tariff. 1 have
always been theoretically free
trader" but the competitive condi-
ditions which peace is certain to
bring will be so different from
those which exist in ordinary peace
times IndL dIl tOtN ihttu WS
shall have to put up protective
bars. as will every other belliger-
ent nation, rather than lower
them, in international trade. So
the tariff is bound to be one of
the big issues after the war. We
will never again be able, however,
to rely upon the tariff as we have
in the past for the bulk OF our
revenue, 1t is considered doubt
full If we shall be able to raise by
this means more than one-fifth
of the money we shall need to run
the government economically.
Heavy tax burdens must be borne.
Obviously, therefore. we shall have
to revise our tariff schedules in .
many respects, not only for pro-
tective reasons, but to increase
our means for meeting the bills of
the war and the prospective great
ly increased expenditures of peace.
If Mr.. Sabin will stop moment t
consider, he will see that, so far a
Government revenues are concerned
the Importance of a protectiv
tariff in the future is not nearly s.
much on account of the revenue i
will bring in at the ports, which
relatively speaking, will not b
great, as because protection insure

petitive conditions which he s.

That Manumu could lay claim to

These Hawaiians declare that when
they were little children he was a
very old man and their parents used
to tell them that "Uncle' Manumu
