part of each individual, and by use of these saw
ings to buy Liberty Bonds. If every one sub
scribes in proportion to his power to save, new
stimulus to the formation of capital is applied to
an enormous fund of wealth not before saved.
Even if the demand for luxuries falls off, labor
and capital are not thrown out of employment,
for they are transferred to other work; they are
released to enter the war industries which pro-
vide goods for our army and navy.
So long as total productive power is suf-
ficient, not only to provide the fundamental ne
cessities for our civilian population, but also to
yield great remainder out Of our vast product
to be devoted for few years to carrying on the
war, we can go on easily enough.
Consequently we need not be disturbed by
the size of the new loans demanded by the Treas
ury. Our resources are very great; and we can
take up a vast loan out of such of our resources
as have been in the past part of our unneces-
sary consumption.
The ability to subscribe for the new loan,
therefore, is matter of the spirit; it depends
on the will to save. Are we at home willing to
limit such pleasure as we derive from non-essen-
tial consumption in order that we may support
the men who are offering their lives? There can
be but one answer.

Pro-Cermanism in School Books

w. W. Parsons, president of the state normal
school, has called the attention of Governor Good
rich to passages in Outlines of European His
tory by Prof. James H. Harvey, a text book
adopted by the state board Of education for Ind
lana schools. The passages are under fire be-
cause the author seems to give Germany the
benefit of the doubt on the question of direct re-
sponsibiity for the outbreak of the European
war. Other references, critics assert, do not
square with historical facts that have developed
in the last eighteen months, making the text in
accurate and misleading for children.
Few Hoosiers are interested in the historical
acumen Prof Harvey has stored in his BRAIN
They are vtally concerned, however, in the purity
of the texts which their children compelled
to study in the public schools. If these pol
uted with misstatements, made purposely or be-
cause of lack of knowledge of the truth, it be-
hooves the state board to throw them into the
discard.

The Lady In the Victoria,

A melancholy case has come under
our observation. 1t is the case Of a
man who must OF course, be nameless.
He is the driver Of one of these dissi-
pated looking, swayback victorias
which ply up and down the avenue
one of those vehicles in which you
lie down and sit up at the same
time.
This man had steered his aged ship
up to the curb where the horse could
lean against lamp post and rest.
He, the man, stood over against the
building muttering sweet nothings to
himself, and mopping his streaming
brow with a red handkerchief.
We approached and asked him II
he was in trouble.
"Trouble?" he said. Listen, do you
see that woman in my victoria?"
We looked and saw her-a ponder
Gus woman, who filled two-thirds OF
the back seat.
Il can't make a dollar" complained
the man. Il have to haul that woman
everywhere l 60. You see, she is my
wife. I married her two weeks ago to
get a home, but she makes her home
in my victoria. She is very jealous
and says IL haul any ladies she must
go along with us. Result is that ev-
erybody thinks I have a load and no
body gets in. I made 81 one afternoon
last week when she went to see her
mother, but not cent since"
His story reminded us Of the burg.
lar whose wife wouldn't let him go
out nights, and told him so.
Love is wonderful thing" we
added.
at hasn't got anything on mar
riage," he muttered, mot thing in
the world"
Come Elmer" shrilled the lady in
the victoria, and Elmer sprang to the
high seat, pulling the horse away
from the lamp post and started on
his tenth journey up the avenue look
ing for fare who would be willing
to ride with his wife.
