MAN WHO FAILS 70
BUY BONDS IS BEING
FOUND OUT, MARKED
Stigma Will Remain Upon the Slack
ers Long After the War
10 Over.

One by one the men who have re-
fused and are refusing to- buy Liberty
Bonds are being found out.
They had an easier time of 1t when
the first two loan drives were under
way. The country was not in such
deadly earnest about this war as it is
now. We were taking for granted that
everyone who could would be glad to
buy a bond and buy just as many as
possible.
People did not look as closely for
the button on the coat and for the Lib
erty Loan flag in the window as they
are looking now. Ths man who walks
the streets now without some visible
sign and emblem that he is bond
purchaser is followed by eyes that
grow angry as they watch him, The
house in any neighborhood that Is
without a bond flag In its window is a
marked house. People stare at 1t curl
ously. They eye 1t resentfully.
Won't Be Forgotten.
The bond Stacker is a marked man
in any community. He ia being re-
membered by his neighbors. Nor will
his sins against patriotism and 10y
atty be soon forgotten. The memories
of this war will live a long time. 1t Is
always so with wars and what Gomez
after them. He will be pointed out al
long as he lives. The memory of hit
failure and his weakness will be hell
against his children.
There are some places where ths
man who fails to buy is being ostra
cised by his neighbors and his old
friends. II they know he is able u
buy they are not asking for his rea
sons. Reasons are not asked. 1t il,
sufficient that man failed when hi
time came, when the opportunity wa,
offered.
With the whole nation working as Il
never worked before to raise the mos!
gigantic war loan in all history, TIT
man who does not &uy is finding \
harder than ever to hide his short
comings. He is being found out ans
in the vast majority of cases the prop
er punishment is being applied b.,
those around him.

We MUST ALL MAKE
REAL SACRIFICES TO
PUT OVER BIC LOAN
Figures Show That Everyone Must
! Strain to Utmost to Bring
Success.

: Do you realize how big an undertak-
ing the Fourth Liberty Loan is? 1t
is SO gigantic that Big Business alone
cannot swing it, that the 100000
farmers of American agriculture can
not carry it alone. that the wage
earners and the shop-Keeper1 and the
merchants could not meet it. 1t will
have to be net by US all, and We will
have to deny ourselves of things to
which we have been accustomed in
order to meet it.
But it will be easier to pay, far
easier than a Prussian indemnity 1t
will fall heavily on the I.Aodest in
comes, on the people WHO are making
5000, $4,000 and $4,000 year. As
an indication of what it will mean
this has been pointed out: IF those
with modest incomes OF $1,000 and
more were to give to the loan every
cent they receive through three
months, asd if the corporations were
in addition to invest in it surplus and
amortization funds up to billion dol
lars, the loan would still fall short by
about billion dollars"
Something like one-half of the loan
must come from the peopls with small
incomes.
When the Huns came into Belgium,
when they took Serbia, when they en-
shaved Poland and conquered Rumania
they levied an indemnity on these
countries, province by province and
city by city. And the gave no bonds

ton were backed by death and impris'
onment. 1t is easier to meet a Lib
erty Loan payment hat it would be to
meet the demands Of the Prussiap

prisons. M

CONTINUOUS BOND BOOSTERS

The opening of the Fourth Liberty
Bond campaign has revealed the fact
that many pastors and churches over
the country have worked continuously
rs Liberty Bond boosters from the
hrst. instead of resting from their la
bors in the interims Of the issues.
Between the issues there were no
bonds to buy, but the Government
would soon need another loan from
he people and it was well to be ready.

Cooperation by the banks and trust

and more generous than even in the
earlier issues. Every single financial
institution In this district, and
throughout the country, is leaving no
stone unturned to make the loan a
success and see to it that every citi-
zen desiring to buy a bond is given
the facilities and financial assistance
to do so.
In the big cities forces of clerks
have been augmented to handle the
business, and everything possible is
being done to make it easy for buyers
Probably the most important function
the banks are performing, however. is

Unselfish Service.

The banks, in the case of time-pay-
ment bonds, make this initial pay
ment. Their funds are used for the
urpose-enoriAous sums which, IL
loaned in the usual channels of COM
Merce, would net much greater re,
turns to the bankers. When the bonds
are delivered and paid for they are
held by the banks until the subscrib-
ers have met their several payments
and are ready to finally take them
over.
Meantime the portion of the bank is
all the trouble and worry, with it's
only remuneration being the bond in
terest during carrying period and the
satisfaction of doing in full its patri-
cite duty TO the country. The small
investor who desires to purchase on
time gets the full benefit of all the
bankers toll free, with easy terms for
his payments.
With such facilities lack of ready
cash is no longer an excuse for slack
ing in the matter of buying Liberty
Bonds. There is no one who cannot
afford the initial payment, and if our
splendid soldiers are to get proper
backing in their gallant fight every
civilian must buy to the very limit of
his means of the governments war
bonds.

SENATOR PIT Tlln
Defends OIL BILL
Says Leasing Question viii
Be Settled for Years If
Measure Passes.
EXPECTS HARD FIGHT
East Does Not Think West
ern Lands Should Be Held
for Those States.

Denver. Jan. 22.-Senator Key Pitt
man Of Nevada. speaking today to the
Colorado chapter of the American MIN
ing congress here. declared congress
has no intention of extending the leas-
Ing system to metalliferous mining,
and If the Pittman- Walsh oil and coal
land leasing bill becomes law the lead
ing question as far as the west is con-
cerned would be settled for years.
"On the contrary" the Nevada sem
ator added, If the pending legislation
which has already passed the senate is
defeated and the matter drifts on as 1t
has drifted for years, then 1t is pos
sible that congress in desperation and
in need of resources. may take hold OF
all OF the lands, metalliferous and nom
metalliferous, and develop them as
government projects. This Is not drift
ing toward the leasing OF metalliferuus
lands, but ii is the final destination OF
a policy against the leasing of metallif-
erous mines"
Senator Pittman said the oil leasing
bill represented the maximum of what
can be expected from the senate and
admitted a hard fight would be neces-
sary to pass it in the house. He said
citizens of western states maintained
that the public lands and all they con-
tain are held in public trust for the
people of the western states. Instead
Of belief in this principle becoming
stronger in congress, Senator Pittman
declared that it has received less sup
port from year to year and now at least
a majority in the senate oppose the
theory and maintain that the public
lands and that the mines and the
wealth contained therein are the prop
erty OF all the people Of the United
States and should be administered by
all the people of the United States. For
that reason he urged the people OF the
western states to be unselfish in their
demand for new legislation. "The In.
sistence by enthusiasts and those hav-
ing personal interests to impose upon
q bill and amendment that is obnox-
ious to the ma jority is the surest meth-
cd Of defeating legislation" Senator
pittman said.
