HOW DID YOU FEEL LEST APRIL?
"lf the War Would Only End I'd Give
Anythinq"

How often in the long, long days
II last winter did you say that to
Yourself? The shadow of war was on
he land. The boys were gong per
laps your boys. You said I'd give
tnything and you meant it,
Now the war is over over because
IF the bravery of our boys. over be.
cause those boys were given the huge
Quantities Of munitions necessary for
victory.
Now the price of victory must be
paid.
The money from the VICTORY
LIBERTY LOAN is to pay for the
shot, shells, guns, ships, and other
supplies which made the war end
sooner. Our Government spent
money-huge quantities of money
because it knew that you and | and
every American preferred to spend
money instead of lives If it skimped
on money, more lives would have been
lost-and the war might be still be
going on.
This loan is challenge to our
aonesty-a trial of our patriotism.
Are we going back on our spoken
and unspoken promise; I'D give
lnything?"
ASK yourself that and then sub. |.

ty Ask your self what it is worth to
you to have peace and then increase

labor They are disciples of Trotzky
and Lenine. They are men who would
pull down the Stars and Stripes and
hoist the red flag of anarchy. They
are men who are laboring under the
delusion that an era of blood and lust
will equalize all men and bring them
to the same level.
Starting out as it does, this new
party promises to become the Mecca
10 which will flock the hair-brained
theorist with their nebulous and Wis
ionary ideas about having an ideal
government where every individual
will be free to take what he chooses
and where the restraint of law will be
unknown. But men and women who
recognize the needs and rights of in
telligence, who believe that initiative
and energy, honesty and industrious,
are entitled to due recognition, will
not find anything in the tenets of the
new party that will draw them to it.

great part of his life on earth. where
many of His miracles were performed
and where His teachings took so firm
a hold that countless ages of persecu-
ton and torture at the hands of the
unspeakable Turk could not uproot
the Christian spirit that He brought
into being. 1t is toward this stricken
country that the whole civilized world
looks with horror.
The world war gave the Turk the
opportunity to renew his outrages on
the Armenians. He sought to des-
troy the race-for the sole reason that
the Armenians chung to the religion
of Christ. Families were separated.
The daughters and wives were carried
off into slavery-and worse. Thous-
ands were driven to the deserts under
preteXt of deportation and were there
left to perish.
The Near East Relief is seeking to
alleviate the distress of these peoples.
1t may be that the U. S. Governement
will lend a helping hand But that
may be too late. The Yuletide season
of 1919 is to be the occasion of free
will outpouring to save this stricken
people. A great offering is being
collected in America that will be dis
patched Immediately otter Christmas
to save these sufferers. Every Mis-
sourian will be glad to participate in
this offering and he will be given an

AS CHRISTMAS APPROACHES

In all of the lands, when tyranical.
ly and oppressively ruled, when PEG.
pie were ground down and made to
suffer and to which America brought
relief and raised from the slough of
despond, none are so appealing to real
Americans and none ever suffered so
long and so poignantly as has Arme-
MIA.
The fact that Cuba is what it is TO-
day may be attributed solely to Amer
lean intervention. The development
of the Philippines, with the metamor-
phosis from almost barbarism to a
comparatively high state Of civiliza-
ton and with conditions improving
rapidly every day is a monument to
Americas self sacrificing generosity.
Recent history tells of other Ameri-
can achievements along similar lines.
But what America has done and is
doing in the Holy Land is not so well
understood. And for a good reason.
America, as a nation, has taken no
stand in Armenia as it has in the other
lands. But what the nation has neg
lected the people as individuals have
done and are doing.
Armenia is the oldest of the Chris
tian lands. 1t is here where the Saw

THE LABOR PARTY

The new political party that was
organized and named at Chicago ear
ly in the week as "The Labor Party'
hasn't much that is commendable ex-
cept its name. After reading the res
olutions adopted, we are of the opin-
ion the name is a misnomer, for the
resolutions passed damn its future
and circumscribe its power for useful
ness.
The overwhelming majority of the
people in America are laboring peo-
pie. They are the people who have
made America great. The idle rich
or the idle poor have never contribut-
ed anything to our country's develop
ment. The men who fill the factories,
mills, mines and offices, the men who
till the fields and move the products of
the farm, factory and mine, are all la
boring men. Because a mans work
does not consist wholly of manual or
physical labor is no indication that he
is not laboring man. The men who
do work in any of these occupations
are laboring men. They are the men
who make the country what it is. They
take an interest in the things that af-
feet our country and its government.
They are the men who are ready to de-
-fend it in time of danger.
But the men who launched the new
party under the name of the Labor
Party" and who went on record as
demanding the impeachment of fed
eral judge who had the courage to do
his duty and thereby thwart the plans
that would have caused untold suffer
ing to thousands; who went on record
demanding the release of men and wo-
men who did their utmost to over
throw our government in crisis;
men whose record shows by word and
act their sympathy for the disloyal and
disturbing elements in this country
are not representative Of American
