Since the entry Of the United states
into the war, European countries have
constantly expressed keen admiration
Of the high grade OF horses with which
our army is equipped. Life on the open
ranges. particularly In the West, has
produced a type of horse which for

In The world can surpass and only
Russia can equal
The English and French i'm the neht-

WINNING THE WAR AT HOME.

At the outset of the third great bat
tie to be waged by the people at home
t. win the war with Liberty Bonds,
Secretary McAdoo has addressed note
to the people of the country calling
upon them to rally to the fight with
no less intentness of purpose than they
expect our soldier boys across the wa
ter to face the enemy's guns.
He impresses upon the nation the
tremendous need for the success of
this third campaign, and calls for the
concentrated effort of every patriot
i'll behalf of the third loan.
His state ment follows:
"One million, eight hundred thou
sand of Americas brave sons are now
serving the army and navy OF the
United States. Thousands of them
are already upon the battlefelds OF
France, fighting and dying to save the
liberties and rights of those who stay
at home and to secure democracy and
freedom against Prussian brutality
and military despotism. Their blood
already consecrates the soil of noble
France.
Who can think of their heroic sac
rifices without emotion.
who can contemplate their trials
and sufferings, their dangers and
struggles without setting ablaze the
fires of patriotism in his soul?
who can look upon the blue jacket
Of the sailor or the khaki jacket of the
soldier without admiration for the in
dominable hearts that beat beneath
hearts that may soon be stilled in
death as the price they pay to save
civilization
We must support our gallant sail
ors and soldiers. We must make them
swift victors in the fight with the
Kaiser. We can do it if we at home
do our duty with the same quality Of
patriotism that animates our men in

THE LYNCHING OF A GERMAN.

The lynching of that German in Col
linsville, Illinois Thursday night was
deplorable affair, but something of
the kind might be expected to occur
almost anywhere in the country where
there is an intensity of patriotic feel
ing.
Red-blooded Americans heartily in
sympathy with the war in which their
sons, brother, and kinsmen are giving.
their lives, cannot be expected to toll
crate pro-Germanism any longer.
Not only will Germans themselves
be liable to mob violence. but the time
is actually at hand, and is becoming
more acute every day, when sympa-
thizers and slackers will be just as
much in danger.
In truth, before the war has gone
very much farther, the Stacker will
be subjected to more opproblum
and to a greater degree of personal
danger, than the German FLOODED
citizen, who is naturally inclined to
lean toward the Fatherland.
Americans are not going to have any
patience with the Stacker, nor with
those citizens whose disloyalty con-
sists in being obstructionists and nag
ging critics.
Former ambassador Gerard, ex-
president Taft. and other leaders and
moulders of public thought are tren>
chantly advocating severe penalties for
such offenses, but they also throw
ii the strong admonition to invoke
this punishment by an orderly and
regular process. The machinery Of
the courts is entirely adequate, and
will be even more so when Congress
has enacted the additional provisions
to the espionage law.
Nevertheless, these outbreaks will
happen, sometimes perhaps in the best
of communities. They cannot be fore
seen specifically nor prevented. Each
will be an outrage on justice. Still,
i'll time of war, when patriotism
amounts to a passion, loyal citizens
will be stirred to their depths by
downright disloyalty, and the culprits
may logically apprehend the conse-
quences Of their folly Not even the
prosecution of the lynchers will be a
sufficient deterrent for an angry mob.
The people of the United States are
beginning to take the war seriously,
and while Thursdays lynching was
an unfortunate occurrence, the par
Elephants deserving of punishment, it
is none the less gratifying to know
that the country is awaking.
