Fifteen hundred gallons of perfect
iv good LIQUOR was turned into the
sewer at the Federal building in Roa-
noke last week by Federal authorities.
The pouring out Of the liquor was in
compliance with ruling recently issu-
cd bv the commissioner OF revenue, a;
Washington. The majority OF the
booze spilled was that which had been
seized at various distilleries in Frank
lin, Henry, Patrick and Floyd counties
within the past three years.

"ProcIaim Liberty"
"'2roclaim Liberty throughout ALL
THE LAND unto all tie inhabitants
thereof
These words were written about
1890 years before Christ, as part Of
the Law of Holiness in The Book Of
Leriticus. our fathers Inscribed thea
upon the Liberty Bell which called our
mighty nation into life.
To-day all the Inhabitants enjoy
liberty. the jew and TIE Gentle, Ghr

"Mal;c fiotto Zeal"
1.-THE Fathers of this Republic, men
Of many races, with common love Of
liberty, wrought into law our ancient

NATION WIDE WIDE .
FIGHT AGAINST
GERMAN PAPERS
National Security League Starts
Crusade for Their Elimination,
together With the Teach
ing Of German.

A vigorous campaign TO bring dDoGt
the elimination Of the teaching OF Ger
man in tue public schools of the ccun-
try and to obtain the discontnuance
of the publication Of newspapers print
ed in German has been launched by
the National Security League. TO or
ganize its effort for these ends the
League has formed a Committee on
Foreign Language and Foreign Press,
which will carry the gght into every
nook and corner Of the United States.
The Committee is composed Of Col.
Charles Z. Lydeckcr, member OF the
Board of Trustees Of the College Of
the City Of New York and Chairman
Of the National Security Leagues
Board Of Directors: Edward II. Clark,
Treasurer Of the Security League;
Ernest C. Brown, we'll known New
York editor and publisher, and DR..
Robert NJ. NlcElroy, Educational direc-
tor Of the National Security League
under leave of absence from Princeton
University, where he is head Of the
Department Of History and Politics.
Stop Advertising.
The principal basis of the Commit
tees campaign against German news
papers will be the obtaining Of the dis
continuance Of advertising in them.
Col. Lydecler's committee has laid
the following plan of campaign before
the Chairmen and Secretaries of all
the PSI branches of the Security
League:
"There is no immediate need to
have laws enacted to suppress the
foreign language dailies. In towns
where there is strong patriotic scnti-
ment Il hostile minority should be per-
suaded by a clear and forceful EXPIRES.
sion Of the views Of the majority that
ours must be, from this time forward,
a one language nation.
"See Our Mistake"
IF Il community will not support
newsdca!er who handles the daily pa
pers printed in foreign tongues it can
thereby force him to deal only in Eng
ish language papers.
"RecogniZing q general willingness
to be patriotic and the rapid acqui-
escencc from many quarters to compel
the use Of English dailies, we urge
reasonably active measures on tie part
of the branches Of the League. JUS
tice requires this, for the fault does
not lie wholly with the alien. We have
failed hitherto to provide the nIachin-
cry Of education which the welding
process required. We have countc-
nanced and even encouraged the idea
Of preserving linguistic and racial
groups in our midst. At last we see
our mistake, and we must correct it as
speedily rs justice will allow.
"But we must not forget, and we
must not allow alien enemies to for
get, that this is q time of war. Quick
processes of producing unity are justi-
fled by the peril Of those institutions
Which we hold in trust for all human
ity.

Better Cooking by
Electricity,

Women have long known that electric cooking IS
cleaner that it banshes all the dust and ashes OF coa
and wood and SCOT and fumes of gas. They nave
purer: that is the most convenient way to cook Now
they have the word Of the women who stand for the
most scientific cooking methods known, that electric
cooking produces better results than any other
means.
Let us demonstrate the various sizes of ranges
and refer YOU to the satisfied electric range users.

 Your favor of the 18th, just receiv- ed, yesterday. It is perhaps time wasted to continue the correspondence with you but the better I come to un- dersrand your theories and conten- .:ons the more you interest me.
 In your last letter you state that your time for becoming an Ameri- can citizen in the natural order of things is not quite up yet" from which infer that you have taken out your first papers. In your letter you claimed to be citizen of Norway. This being the case, your position is not tenable. If you have declared your intentions to become citizen Of this country you are or should be to all intents and purposes loyal to ihis country as you have already ab- rogated your allegiance to Norway.
 Every person of ordinary intelli- gence among civilized nations owes allegiance to some country. and the composition, orthography and general construction of your letters convince me that you have been in this coun- try good many years. in fact, think you have had the benefit of schooling in this country; and now, in the face of all this you state that the United States has not given protection to in- ended citizens" when, as matter of fact, you and every fair-minded for e.sner knows full well that our laws protect you in your rights here so long as you obey them, and if accused of crime the Government will provide yol an attorney for defense If you are without the means to employ one. draw the following conclusions from your letter, viz. as your time for final citizenship papers is not up. you made your application after the begin

W's the class of literature that has most interested you and appealed to your sentiments is Pearson's maga- zine. Issues and Events. Appeal to Reason. etc, all of which are so radi cal in their expressions. their princi- pal motive being that of promulgat- ing the bitter doctrine of HATE against Capital and all forms of Gov ernment, as to foster Class Hatred of the most virulent type. The example is vivid in Russia's present condition.
 Nations like families are made strong and respected by the loyalty If their people.
