COMMON SENSE

The war has taken a lot of nonsense
out of all of us. After the war we
ought to be a little more like our SEN
sible ancestors, who cleared this lah..,
and titled the soil and had little time
for the isms, the fads and the fancies
Of our intensely artificial life.
In our grandfather's day these wild
agitators, /. w. w, and bolsheviki
would have met with small sympathy.
They would either have worked or
starved to death We have made won
derful improvements in this country
since grandfather's day, but we have
rot improved on the old fashioned
brand of common sense.
If we get back some of the old
virtues, and some of the old intoler-
ance Of the wild isms, this war will
have served one good purpose at
least.
How happy ! viii be if the world
ever becomes normal again" is heard
on every side. But even when the
war is over, and influenza is a thing
of the past, we still will find some
thing TO worry about, howl about and
kick over. That's human nature.
Some call it progress, others by a
harsher name.

THE GREAT WAR AT AN END

The war which came TO an end at
six o'clock last Monday morning was
perhaps the most widely and univer-
sally celebrated event that ever oc-
Cured. It Is no exaggeration TO say
il was celebrated around the entire
world, and no wonder No place in
this world, however remote, but was
affected by it. ATayed against the
central empires, Germany, Austria
Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria were,
rot only England, France, Italy, Bel
GUM. Russia, United States, Portugal,
Rumania and Japan, which had sol
diers in the field, but some twenty
smaller nations. All OF South Amer
lea, Cuba, China and some minor ma
fions whose names we can not now re-
call, declared war against the central
empires. The war lasted four years
and three months. 1t is estimated
that ten million human beings lost
their lives as result Of the war. The
cost in treasure is around hundred
billion dollars.
Tremendous as the effects are now
tealized to be, the after effects can
not at this time be computed. The
immediate future is fraught with ire
mendouss possibilities for both good
and evil. 1t is safe to predict that
kings and emperOrs in Russia, Ger
many. Austria Hungary and Bulgaria,
rot to mention some lesser states, are
things Of the past II must be a
heartening fact to all Americans that
the states that have discarded their
hereditary rulers are all patterning
q system Of government fashioned af-
ter our own. Does this not mean
that our system, granted it is not
perfect, is yet the best devised by
man? Is it not worth perpetuating
rather than rush into some untried
governmental venture that may lead
TO destruction

FOURTH LOAN ALMOST 4 Bill
LION OYERSUBSCRIBED

The United States government
asked a loan from the people of the
country of $4,000, 100000, an amount
unprecedented in all the history of the
world. In three weeks time, in spite
of, an epidemic of influenza which pre-
vented public meetings and cost the
people many millions of dollars in
medical bills and lost time, and in
spite, too, of the peace rumors that
in some instances had tendency to
make the success of the loan seem
less vital, some 21,OO0,0O0 Of the
American people offered to the gov
eminent S6,866, 416, 300 Each Federal
Reserve district oversubscribed its
quota Thousands of cities, towns and
communities oversubscribed their quo
tas. Secretary McAdoo says that the
Fourth Liberty loan is the greatest
single event in financial history.
The Fourth Loan was called the
fighting loan; it is a record of Amer
icanism comparable with the record
that our soldiers on the battle fronts
and our sailors on the seas are max
ing. The people at home have given
loyal support to our fighting men.
Our soldiers are holding every acre
Of ground they took. Let the people
at home hold every Liberty Bond they
have taken.
A Liberty Bond is a certificate of
patriotism; keep it to show our boys
when they come back from Europe.

MAKING THE NEW REVENUE
BILL HUMAN

Under the title Excise Taxes the
revenue bill as bassed by the house
Of representatives includes a levy of
from 5 to 20 per cent on various ar
ticles of luxury. For the purpose of
encouraging our foreign trade after
the war the senate finance commit
tee, with the cordial approval of its
republican members, has adopted an
amendment exempting from excise
taxes such articles, Injuries and semi
luxuries as are exported to foreign
countries.
A further element of injustice in
the Kitchin bill has been removed by
an amendment TO the excise tax title
providing that merchandise listed I'M
der that section, for which manufac-
turing contracts were entered into be-
fore September 3, the date of the in
PRODUCTION of the bill in the house,
shall not be subject to the tax. Of
course such contracts were entered
into with no knowledge of the new
taxes that were about TO be imposed
and it would be manifestly unfair to
the manufacturer to cause him loss by
the unexpected levies. Particularly
IS this true in regard TO government
contracts.

SAMBo ASTONISHED

Sambo, a dusky warrior in the
American Army, had only recently
landed and was comparing London
with New York. He paused before a
shop window full of watches. His
gaze became fixed on a very shiny
watch on a velvet cushion on which
was pinned a card bearing the words
"This watch will go for eight days
without winding"
Sambo pondered and then walked
straight into the shop; Say, boss,
will you tell how long dat darn watch
will 90 if you do wind it up? It'd

A GOOD IDEA. PASS IT ALONG

The Echo heartily approves the
suggestion, whoever may be the father
of it, that we all observe Thanksgiv-
ing the latter part of this month, by
using nothing but Washington pro-
ducts on our dinner table that day.
By ourselves consuming the home
product we increase the demand with
the consequent increase in home pro
duction. Increase Of production means
increase of employment for labor and
increase of wealth and prosperity.
BY all means, Mrs. Housekeeper.
