report of the Secretary of the Treas

atcly sells that bond on the market
when he does not impcrativcly need

to Il bond that helps the Government,
and the Keeping of the bonds that
really helps.
The people must have and invest in
government bonds. 1t is by actually
tending money to the Government AMI
not by merely promising it and shift
ing the load to some one else that the
citizen really helps in this great time.
IL the loans are made to the Gov
crnmcnt and bonds re taken, there.
fore the lender is supposed to dcnv
himself something which releases in
turn demand on the vital SUPPLIES

Gov r.nmcnt in position to buy the
supplies thus released and to furnish
thea to our Armies and Navics. But

bonds, relieves himself Of the obliga-

on wasting them, he does his country

The following is quoted from the

Secretary of the Treasury to Mr..

His People Always Know
 Where Sen. Sn,iH Stands

Arising in the U. s. senate the other day to question of personal privilege, Senator Mark Smith of Arizona thus made his posi- ton clear upon the Harold Steinfeld effort to evade the national army draft:
 MT President, beg the indulgence of the senate at this time for a moment to make a statement in the nature of personal explanation, if not of privilege. There is young man in my town, Mr. Harold Stein field, within the draft age and who has stood physical examination and has been favorably passed on more than once by the local board. Mr. Steinfelds father Is the owner and manager of large mercantile business and is reputed to be man of great wealth The local board passing on young Steinfelds claim for exemption as manager of this mercantile business refused to grant the exemption. Appeals were taken then, and at this end of the line great influences from prominent men outside of Arizona have been attempting to save him from serving his country in this time of its dire necessity.
 T have received many letters of protest against Mir Steinfeld's evasion of the draft and charges that have been instrumental in keeping him out of the army. Such accusations are utterly false. On the con trary, have told General Crowder and the assistant secretary of war that could see no reason why Mr. Steinfeld should avoid the draft any more than dozens of other young men from Arizona, who are now in the army under the draft and are giving that loyal service which our country expects from its able-bodied young men. merely make this statement thus publicly so as to silence the misrepresentations being made against me at home by persons whose motives for the circulation of such false hoods, are, of course, unknown to me. hope it may never justly be said that any man can avoid the performance of his duty to his country by reason of his wealth or all influence that can be brought to bear in favor of his evasion of duty

FACING THE FACTS.

It is stern, hard, but none the less true view that Arthur Brisbane, especial friend of the workingn1en, and formerly himself inclined to socialism, takes of the Russian situation in most forceful editorial on the first page of his Washington Times as fol lows:
 The Russians listen in mournful silence to the reading of President Wilson's en- couraging message, and after mournful listening the Coviets vote to accept Ger many's peace and obey Germany s orders.
 Poor Russia Is about as capable of gov erning herself apparently as steam roller turned loose on the highway with power on and no driver.
 Trotzky, the little soap box gentleman, made big mistake when he took himself for steam roller conductor, and knows 1t.
 Typically Russian is the reply of that big country kneeling in the mud in front of Ger many and calmly cabling to President Will son its warm sympathy and confidence that the time is not far distant when the masses will overthrow capitalism and es- tablish socialist society which alone is capable of giving lasting and just peace and assuring the welfare of the toilers
 Considering the sample of efficiency that socialism and the toilers' have just given to the world in Russia, there is something very pleasing about this message.
 President Wilson, of course, will answer nothing or answer kindly and gently.
 He might, however, assure those toil- CTS that voted for liberty and then ran away from the enemies of the country, that at least two things are necessary in govern ment One is intelligence and the other is courage.
 Russia must acquire at least one of the two. Until she does, she will be governed by Prussia-unless the allies change condi- tions for her.
