For the sake OF the argument, let us
assume That without our aid the defeat
of the allied nations was certain: that
the $4,000. OG0. 900 loaned by American
financiers to the allies was certain to
be lost as Il result OF that defeat: that
it would have been impossible for Ger
nan to guarantee the safety of the
American investors. With all these
assumptions made. it is easy to show
the absurdity of the contention that
Wall streets interests could be best
served by war.
In the two and a half years prior to
our entrance into the war American
big business was reaping fabulous
profits through the sale of supplies TO
neutral and belliEerent nations. Sound

Wall street does not lack intelligence.
In April. 1917. it had the experience of
European nations for two and II half
years OF war TO guide it. From that
experience Wall street could learn

through trade with European nations
would practically cease.
2. Enormous burdens of taxation
would be imposed upon profits and
large incomes. CThese two items alone
would amount in year to far moro
than the sum Of the loans made to the
allied nations).
8. Sterilization, through government
ownership. price fixing, limitation Of
profits. and other agencies, would be
greatly extended and the opportunities
for profit making greatly iessened.
q. Radical and revolutionary move.
ment hostile to Wall streets interest
would be strengthened.
S. Big business must be heavily
taxed for many years after the war.
This is not theorozine; il is the plain
lesson of the history Of two and a half
years of the war. With that history
Wall street certainly was familiar.

Sarchet Says Some of the Big

By C. NJ. Sarchet

Because of numerous inquiries that
have been received, relative to what
the public service corporations have
been doing in Baxter Springs at the
time war fund drives have been made,
an investigation of the records has
been made, revealing many interest
ing things. For instance the records
for the Third Liberty Loan, Second
Red Cross and Baby Bond campaigns
show that the Baxter Springs Gas
Company subscribed $500 each for
Liberty Bonds and Baby Bonds and
to the Red Cross. The Home Tele-
phone company subscribed only to the
Rel Cross fund, $50. The Southwest
Missouri Railway company, the En-
pire District Electric company and the
Baxter Water Works fail to appear on
the records at all, subscribing moth
ing in this city for either of the bond
issues and giving nothing whatever
here to the Red Cross.

STRIKE ON BALLARD LAND
Drill Pentrated Pay Dirt at a Depth
of 100 Feet--Same Run rs in
Queen Esther

A good strike of zinc was made on
the Ballard land last week. The drill
struck pay dirt at depth of 100 feet
and the two screws showed the ground
to be rich in zinc. The cuttings are
of high grade and from present indi-
cations it is thought the company
will drill out mill site. 1t is the
same run of ore that is found at the
Queen Esther and is shallow, which is
of the ore bodies Of this
location. Little or no water is found
in this drilling and the company will
have little difficulty in sinking shaft
as the ore is at a shallow depth and
no water to beat. C. M. Mitchell, of
Baxter Springs, is the contractor for
the drilling and says the formation is
exceptionally good.

"The possible destiny of the United
States of America as a Nation Of a
hundred million Of free men, stretch
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
living under the laws of Alfred and
speaking the language of Shakespeare

The United States is now a Nation
of a hundred million and more,

physical is its moral greatness. Its
fairness and justice, its courage and

The destiny the United States is
now fulfilling is a more august con-
ception than ever the imagination OF
