DELAWARE AND THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.
INCr she World War began, Delaware has performed,
y eheerfuy and pariOtcally every duty, national and
international charitable practical that she has been
called upon 10 perform.
In no instance has she done less than her duty
In many instances she has done much more than her
duty
That will be found to be true with respect TO the
Fourth Liberty Loan the drive which begins today
and will be continued until the last cent asked for by
the Federal Government has been subscribed.
In response to the appeal made by Henry p. Scott,
director of the campaign Castle county and his
associates this and other sections of State the
drive will prosecuted with vgor and intelligence until
the SeOOOOOO asked for from Delaware has been sub
scribed.
Every Delowarean must play part little big,
in the floating OF this great loan Men, and
children must put their hands the task of putting h
over Every city, efery town. every village every hamlet
and every farm must do its ample part When that has
been DONE when Mr. Scott and his associates have
added up the subscriptions win be shown that Della
ware and DeIawareans have lived up those
best and most cherished traditions which have existed
since the United States took place among the nations
of earth as the champion of political and
ligious freedom.
The drive opens today. II is up to the people to
make It a success.
There should be hanging back. The work of Mr.
Scott and his associates will be trying enough at the
best The people State should conspiro TO make
il as easy as possible and hard possible.
In round figures this State is asked TO subscribe for
st6OOOOOO of the bonds. It win do it! Then why
do it quickly and in business-Iike way and hang
back awaiting the feverish impulse of the eleventh hour?
There should be eleventh hour in Delaware in this
Liberty matter There will be if the Delaware
public comports itself as it should.

1t will be great day-the review
the mastering out, clouds of colors,
blaring bands. booming cannon. But
the next day, when Yank has donned
his civilian clothes, will, in our opin-
ion, be an even greater one. For Iank
will be looking for a job.
There Will be five million of him for
a certainty. There may be ten. II
America gets into the war as deeply
as England has, there will be fifteen. But
let it stand at five, the minimum.
Those of him who are skilled-me-
chanics, artisans, engineers. account
ants-will be readily absorbed. The
Observation-Disclosures. doctor, dentist
will blow the dust off their shingles
and swing them to the breeze again.
Some will go to the land which, it Is
to be devoutly hoped, Uncle Sam will
have ready for them by that time. But
what about the rest?
After a man has been skewering
BOches for a couple of years, measur-
ing ribbon, fitting shoes or making out
invoices is likely to prove an anaemic
occupation. Moreover, Yank is likely
to feel bit tired, in our forecast. He
is likely to feel, with justice, that he
has done his country turn which
justilles his retiring into rest billets
for a season. His eye, therefore-and
this brings US to the marrow Of our
thought-will in all probability fall
upon a swivel chair attached to, ma
hogany desk, some hundreds of thous-
ands of which may be found in county
buildings city halls State capitOlS,
Federal buildings and public institu-
tlons Of every kind-and Washington.
Much is said Of the civil war veterans
return TO the land, without consider
ing that so per cent. of them were far
mers' boys, while probably a scant 40
per cent Of our present troops would
know a pruning hook from a ssfety
razor. But little or nothing is said OF
the boys Of. go who flocked to Wash
ington, where some Of them may still
be found, to every State capital and to
every county seat in the land.

leave them enough surplus TO put into
bonds. They do not know whether the
tax gatherers will leave them enough 10
conduct their business as IL must be
conducted to be sound. They do not
know whether they will be able TO stay
in business, much less take big allot-
ments of bonds. They cannotl as they
have been urged TO do, borrow money
from the banks to put into bonds with
any assurance that they can pay IL
back.
The average man, immuse from the
pursuing Kitchln, knows that one way
or another, he can save so much a
month, so much a week, so much day
to pay his Liberty loan instalments.
The business interests and the lndivld-
ual whose income depends upon the
business interests cannot be sure OF
anything of the kind They may save
in every possible way; from the begin
ming to the end Of the year, they may
rake and scrape 10 build up fund win
which TO buy bonds or to pay install
ments on them; but all that they can
be sure Of is that the Congress war tax
es may come along and scoop IL.
These tax laws are enacted almost
fatally at the end Of "a business year. In
November or December the business
interest or man Of big income is t0ld
what taxes he must pay for the whole
preceding year. He hasn't known a
single thing about it during all tne
weeks and months he has been compel
led to do business with the shadow OF
uncertainty hanging over him. Chalr-
man Kitchin's work this year is worse
than ever. 10 is not merely that ne
proposes more and heavier taXes-ev-
erybody expects them as the war goes
on. II is the method by which he pro-
poses 20 lay the taxes; the way he
proposes to dry oil by making 1t M
possible for prOspectors, upon Wh0m
the supply OF OIL depends, to go out ana
hunt for oil wells; the way he(proposes
to force industrial and commercial con-
Germs to pay out surplus earnings when
ought to be held as reserves Tor the
safety of the business, especially IN
such times as these; the way he pro-
poses to drain the lafe blood OF ma
tional production.
From the ultimate consequences OF
Kitchins's economic madness the Sen
ate. which now has his bill in charge,
can protect the country in the weeks
or months Of improvement that It may
put into his destructive measure. And
the Senate can also help the fourth
Liberty loan by giving in the next
three weeks a clear, strong indication
that it Mill never consent to the kitehin
universities which in the third Lib
erty loan merely made it doubtful
whether interests and men OF Dig IN
come, even moderate income, could
subscribe. but which this time would
make their subscriptions impossible.

Kifchin Taxes and Liberty Bonds
(From the New York Sun. }

In his Liberty Loan address Secretary
NlcAdoo emphasized the fact, which
The Sun has been impressing upon the
Congress revenue makers, that the third
issue was taken by small subscribers,
There were in all 100000 subscrip-
tions; the average was only S2i6. Fur
thermore, out Of the 100000 sub
scribers, Secretary McAdOo told his au-
dience there were only 22,5O0, includ-
ing corporations, who bought Liberty
Bonds in excess Of $4,000 each. lie
says that for the fourth loan, now all
but under way, we must largely in
crease the number Of subscribers be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
IL is indeed important that the mum
Der OF big subscribers should be in
creased. IL is necessary TO the success
Of the fourth loan that both business
interests and individuals OF big incomes
should Join the millions OF small Sub
scribers that are assured. But to do
so It is essential that they should have
the money in hand or in prospect
In the third Liberty Loan campaign
business interests and individuals Of
big incomes dependent upon business
did not know whether they could sub
scribe in dollars or in pennies. They
did know that right on the heels Of
the bond subscriptions were coming
The payment OF income taxes. They
were all at sea as TO how the provi-
siOns OF the revenue act would be in
terperted the tax collectors themselves
were all at sea. So those business in
terests and individuals, even OF mod
erate incomes, were gathering ami
holding their cash resources for the
impending taxes.
1T would be preposterOus." de-
clared Mr.. McAdoo, Ito say that there
are only 22500 men, women and cor
porations in America able to lend
more than $4,000 each to their govern
ment on Liberty Bonds
PrepOsterous, II men, women and
corporations know that they will be
able to meet the bond payments. But
If they do not know and cannot know,
what then2 They do not know and
cannot know now, when there is no way
to tell what the Congress tax schedules
VIII be; how much Of The income Of a
business the taxes will take; whether
the taxes will .permit the business 10
live or kill il.
Business interests and individuals of
big incomes, even moderate incomes,
are in a deeper doubt today as to their
ability TO pay for bonds than they were
before the third Liberty loan. They
know to a dead certainty that their tax
es are going TO be still higher than they
were last year, but they. do not know
how much higher. They wish to pay
in taxes, and are prepared to pay, 3ll
they can pay safely. But they do not

r0IRTn LIRERTY Loan

From the Dover state News.
Next Saturday, September 2s, the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive viii begin,
when the people of this nation will be
called upon TO subscribe twice the
amount they did in the Third Liberty
Loan. Delaware, which is in the Phil
adelphia district, has been allotted Si9,-
100000 as its appOrtiOnment OF the loan,
but IL is safe to predict, from past per-
formances, that the little Diamond
State will double the amount app0r-
TONED TO it and will reach the S21,OOO,-
900 or S30000,000 mark. The people
Of the. country have been educated to
the fact that the purchase Of Liberty
Bonds not only means direct assistance
TO the Government in the prosecution
Of the war against the murderous Hun,
but it also means that each bond they
purchase is a nestegg saved. Many
American families that heretofore never
saved a dollar, now have several hun
dred dollars laid aside i'm the form Of
these desirable government bonds.
10 is TO be expected that the patriotic
citizens Of the United States VIII sub
scribe to the Fourth Liberty Loan with
a greater enthusiasm than has marked
any Of the previous loans. The devCl-
Opments Of the past few months in the
European war arena have forcibly driv-
en- home in the minds Of the people OF
this country just what a serious thing
this war is and how much depends
upon the United states doing its full
part. knowing how much is at stake,
and that their government cannot hope
TO successfully prosecute its war pro
gram without the necessary financial
backing, the American people will un-
doubtedly respond with vim that will
send cold shivers down the spine 'of
the German Kaiser when he reads Of
the great success Of Americas Fourth
Liberty Loan.
We i'm Dover must do our full share
in making This loan q success We
must remember that the proceeds Of
the Liberty Bonds are used to main
tain our great armies that are battling
for freedom and democracy in France
and Italy. We must not lose sight OF
the fact that the millions Of men we
are sending overseas must be clothed
and fed, and must be supplied with suf-
ncient guns, rifles and ammunition to
enable them TO drive the Hun hOrdes
back. back, back-until their Kaiser
cries unconditional surrender we
at home must form an army to keep

ing trim. They are doing their part, are
making supreme sacrifices that cannot
be measured in dollars and cents. and
it is the very least we can do to show
our appreciation by subscribing to the
full limit OF our means to the Fourth
Liberty Loan. 10 makes no difference
If you have purchased a First Second
or Third Liberty Bond. Uncle sam
now asks you TO subscribe for Fourth
Liberty Bond, and even if it means the

BOYS WHO LEFT GLENDALE
FRIDAY FOR CAMP DODGE
From the Leader

Tomorrow afternoon at 8 II o'clock,
forty-four men, the last increment of
Dickey county's first draft quota, will
leave Glendale for Camp Dodge, in
accordance with orders issued from
the office of Adjutant General Fraser
this week. Although the men of this
call do not leave until that time,
they are required to appear at the
court house today at four o'clock, and
from that time they will be soldiers
of the United States, receiving pay
and meals exactly as though they
were at camp.
Although but forty-four are neces-
sary to complete the quota, 81 have
been notified ITO report, rs It is prac-
as there are some in the list who
have practically been identified as de-
serters, due to their failure to answer
previous summons. With these men
the local board has nothing further to
do; their cases are now in the hands
of the Adjutant General, who will in
quire into their reasons for failure
to answer the call of the federal gov
ernment
Those who have assured the board
they will be here to leave are as fol-
