Our War Aims-The Principle OF
Justice to All Peoples.

Our War AIms-Ihe Principle of
Justice to All Peoples.
can evident principle runs through
the whole program 1 have outlined.
1t is the principle of justice to all peo-
pies and nationalities, and their right
to live on equal terms of liberty and
safety with one another, whether
they be strong or weak. Unless this
principle be made its foundation no
part of the structure of international
justice can stand. The people of the
United States could act upon no 9TH
er principle; and to the vindication
of this principle they are ready to
devote their lives, their honor, and
everything that they possess. The
moral climax of this, the eliminating
and final war for human liberty, has
come, and they are ready to put their
own strength, their own highest -pur-
pose, their own integrity and devo-
ton to the test. From President
Wilson's Address, January 8, 1918.

Trading Liberty Bonds for
WOrfbIazs Ca-,,-14sa~

Trading Liberty Bonds tor
Worthless Securities
Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 2, 1913.
Your attention Is particularly re-
quested to the following statement
made by William C. McAdoo, Secre-
tary of the Treasury on January FL.
1T has been brought to my atten-
ton that a large number of patriotic
citizens who subscribed to Liberty
Loan Bonds of both the first and sec
ond issue are being approached from
time to time by agents who have,
with too frequent success, induced
them to sell their Liberty Loan bonds
and take in exchange securities which
in a number of cases have been of
very questionable value.
Through the intensive work car
ried on during the two Liberty Loan
campaigns, a patriotic army of over
ten million bond buyers in this coun-
try has been created. 1t is of the ut
most Importance that the investments
of this army of patriots should be
safeguarded in every possible way,
and that their action in lending their
money to their Government should
not be taken advantage of by ire
sponsible people seeking solely a pro-
fit for themselves.
Il therefore warn investors in Lib
erly Loan bonds against exchange of
these evidences of their patriotism
for any securities or so-called securi-
ties. While some of the securities or
sO-called securities, offered in ex-
! change for Government bonds are of
sound value, there is no doubt that
a large percentage of them are
worthless.
az believe it is for the best inter
ests of the people at large, as well as
for their actual protection that they
disregard all such offers and hold
fast to the best investment in the
world, that is, bonds of their own
Government.
Practically all of the substantial
and representative Investment houses
of the country in cooperation with
the Government and many other pa
trotic agencies, have participated in a
most unselfish way in both Liberty
Loan campaigns, sacrificing their own
interests in order to contribute their
share toward winning the war. 1t is
inconceivable that after the magni-
ficent work of distributing Govern
ment bonds thus accomplished in a
large measure by investment houses,
some of the same people should at
tempt to substitute other securities
/ for the Government bonds which
they have just helped in placing. 1t
seems evident that a large majority
of such offers made to holders of
Government bonds must be made by
the least responsible of the security
merchants, and that suspicion as to
the character of the bonds offered in
exchange, is fully justified.
1T is my earnest hope that every
| purchaser of Liberty Bond will realize
that the only genuine help he gives
/ his Government is by keeping his
bond as an investment as long as it
is possible for him to do so. Where,
because of misfortune or imperative
necessity, the holder of a Liberty
Bond If forced to sell, there ean, Of
course, be no objection.
Yours very truly,
VIM. R. ROWE,
Elk. Sec'y

A DELICATE QUESTION.

Stockton, Cal, June 24.-When is a
First child" not first child%
This Is the question that has been
causing Sergeant r. r. Mergenthal, of
the local U. s. Marine Corps recruit
ing station, to spend sleepless nights
lately.
George Hadley, of Kansas City, ap-
piled to Mergenthal for enlistment.
When Hadley informed him that he
was married and had two children,
Mergenthal told him that he would
draw $3.50 for a family allotment
namely $15 for his wife, $40 for his
first child and $3.50 for his second
child. But Hadley insited on $50.
"Ho do you figure thatP" queried
Mergenthal.
"Well, my youngsters are twins, SC
how are you going to figure the hrst
child? They both come under the SIC
head" answered Hadley.
II give up" declared Mergenthal
after puzzling over it for a few hours
The delicate question has been put uI
to the authorities at Washington.

Boise, June 27.-National Independ-
ence Day in Idaho this year is not only
to be observed by native born Ameri-

"To the President Of the United
States:
ION the Fourth of July, 1776. the
founders of this republic began the
movement for human liberty and the
rights of nations to govern themselves.
One hundred and forty-two years
later, we find the world democracy OF
which this nation was pioneer, form
idably assailed by the powers OF re-
action and autocracy.

sons and daughters came to this land
later than the founders Of the Repub-
lie, but drawn by the same ideals
The nations and races and peoples
which we represent are taking their
part, In one way or another, In the
struggle. Some, happily enjoying a
political entity, are fighting openly and
with arms against the enemies OF pro-
gress Others, unhappily submerged,
can give but a passive opposition.
Others have been forced against their
will into the armies of the common
enemy. Finally, a few still remain
outside, hardpressed, threatened by the
mailed fist, dreading alike to be drawn
in and to be found apart from the rest
when the hour of settlement arrives.
But all, through infinite suffering,
struggle either blindly or open-eyed
toward the same end-the right OF
peoples to govern themselves as they
themselves see fit, and just and last
ing peace.

The Canadian government wastes
little time with the disloyal alien, ac-
cording to a reliable story told In
Boise Saturday by recent arrival
from the country forming the north
Idaho boundary line, says the Capital
News.
A German alien and his wife enjoy

ing land and soon became well-to-do.
Their farm became very productive
and they made a success In stock rails
ing, especially horses.
After the war broke out horses
came into great demand and up to the
present time the demand ism still
heavy, the government purchasing all
animals possible. In soliciting Tor
horses, buyers ran across the German
farmer and his wife and although they
made numerous attempts to buy their
! horses, they were always met with
I positive refusal tc sell.
Finally the obstinacy Of the Ger
mans was reported to the government,
which then sent military official out
| to investigate. He was met with the
same curt refusal from the German
when he offered good prices for the
horses. Upon being Intercepted as
to his reasons for refusing to sell the
German replied, "Oh, I don't want e
