CONGRESS is PERSHING'S
SUPPLY DEPOT"

This is to be one of the Democratic
rallying cries during the fall cam
paign. 1t will be heard as slogan in
every Congressional district and in ev-
cry State that elects United States
Senator in November. To back it up,
the Democrats will prove that it has
been Democratic support that has up
held the President in the conduct of
the war.
The slogan is not one provided by
Washington leaders, but is from an
editorial in the Louisville Courier
Journal. This editorial, in part, says:
Congress is General Pershing's
supply depot. 1t must put into effect
the plans to re-enforce him that are
conceived at the White House and in
the making departments. 1t must
be entirely in accord with the policies
of the Administration, particularly
while the war lasts. Obstruction and
discord in the houses of Congress
mean slackening of the lines of
communication between Washington
and France. Soldiers have no poll
tics, but, if General Pershing and the
American Army could give their
views, they would declare for Con
gress in entire accord with the Com
mander-i n-Chief of the Army and
Navy.
1.-THE only Congress that can be en-
tirely relied upon to present this
front is Democratic Congress. The
course of the Republican minority
demonstrates that while they have
been held into line as minority, once
in the majority party politics would
inevitably creep into the conduct of
the war. 1t is the natural course of
legislators in a government by party,
not wholly intentional, but partly
temperamental and traditional.
Republicans are planning hard
fight this fall to win control of the
House and Senate. One vote may de-
eide whether the Administration is to
have a Senate majority"

The Economy Of Victory.

No matter what this war costs
the Government and the people
of the United States in the way
Of money, it is going to be much
cheaper to win this war than to
lose it.
The commercial and financial
losses that would follow a Ger
man victory are not to be calcu-
lated. All that We spent wonld
be lost, indemnities beyond CAL
culation would have to be paid,
and along with these losses would
come a continuing loss in foreign
commerce that would spell dis
aster.
With these material losses We
would lose our national liberty
and independence, our power to
secure our international rights,
our right to live in world ruled
BY the dictatesof humanity and
civilization.

Patriot Dol lars.

All the dollars in the world
can not buy victory. Victory is
not purchaseable-it is won.
Dollars can work for victory only
In so far as they are converted
into labor and materials. A dol
lar boarded is a Stacker; a dol
lar wasted is a traitor dollar

loaned to the Government.
A boarded dollar represents
idle power wasted dollar rep
resents wasted power /; a dollar
saved represents power saved,
labor saved. materials saved
Loaned to your Government, it
represents power, labor, and
materials in action, on the firing
line, over the top. And more
it represents reserve power. en-
