VICTORY LOAN ARGUMENTS.

CEcRETARY GLASS; speaking to 1000 loan cam

the Victory Liberty loan bonds should be given the widest
possible distribution because they are an effective preven-

fiscal department Of the government that when people have
direct stake government they less liable to want
to destroy It, which Of course is true.
Talking to Marion county audience in the Court house
here last night Ex-Governor MaeCorkle made the point
that it is the plain duty Of the American people to take
the fifth Of the series Of Liberty loans because the money
is to be used to pay debts which were contracted in their
And that too is good selling argument for the
bonds. There question about the responsibility Of the
whole people for the debts which were contracted in put
ting this country upon basis and sending great army
to France II is much duty Of intelligent patriotism
to buy the Fifth loan as was to buy the first or any that

Blu. there is yet another argument which loan workers
will do well to keep to the 'front.' and that that the Vic
tory loan which is partially tax free and bears four and
ree-quarters per cent interest," perhaps the most atrac

wanted to the government could sell this loan entirely to
the banks II is that good But for reasons Of public
policy well because Of principles Of sound finance
il does not want the banks to have this loan.
That would tie up capital which ought to be available
to the business Of the country, to help men and women
build homes. and soldiers returning from the front to
their business enterprises. and do hundred and one things
Of that kind So the public asked to take this final loan
Of the Victory series and it will be sound business for it
to load up to the uttermost limit.

TRADES uNIoNIsM THE NATURAL
FOE OF BoLsHEvlsM.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Samuel Gomper's denunciation
Of Bolshevism in his speech In New
York the other night was an utterance
that might have been expected from
him. Trades unions and Bolshevism
are natural enemies. Trades unionism
in the United States is very largely
what Mr.. Gompers has made 1t in his
thirty years of leadership. It has been
tremendously effective in improving
the conditions Of It's members, and its
effectiveness has depended upon its
adherence to q principle which is fun.
damentally antagonistic TO the princi-
pie Of Bolshevism.
Trades unionism stands for evolu-
ton instead Of revolution. Forty or
fifty years ago q chosen player by the
name Of Steinitz invented what is
known as the modern style Of chess
play. Its chief Characteristic was
what he called "the accumulation Of
small advantages" The old chess
masters staked success on bold and
reckless strokes. More often than not
they came to grief. Steinitz moved
prudently, cautiously gaining small
advantage here and another there, and
finally winning out through the accu.
mutation Of these small advantages
The Steinits method has driven out
the old method among first-class play
ers. 1t is the style that wins.
The Federation of Labor in the three
decade during which Mr.. Gompers has
been its leading figure, has played the
game Of labor Advancement IN this
way. It hat striven to get a reduction
in the hours OF labor here. an increase
of wages there better working condi-
lions in this place OF. that. It has res
olutely put out of mind all dreams OF
the achievement Of the millennium ov-
ern!sht and kept its mind always on
the next step in advance. One Of Its
earliest champions appearing before a
Congressional committee third of a
century ago. was asked what were his
ultimate end. I'VE have no ulti-
mate ends" he answered. I'VE are
fighting along for immediate objects
objects that can be realized In few
years"
Through It's adherence to this policy
trades unionism has been successful
where populism and socialism and
,commun,sm and anarchism and hun
dred other isms have failed. By es-
chewing the impossible it has assured
the possible. More than that, not only
Mr.. Gompers alone, but practically all
It's leaders have become thoroughly
convinced Ct the efficacy OF evolution
.ary rather than revolutionary measur-
es. That is why the labor unions Of
this country are its greatest bulwarl
against Holshevism.

Our Banner Year

This is no boast nor yet is it knock It is a simple statement of a fact that we have such year ahead of the valley have never had before Never was there such combination of fortuitous circumstances as we have here
 The prime cause and really the only cause, of hard times will be wholly eliminated. Every man who wants a job will have it. and then will have to bring some hundreds of job holders in. There is more building going in the towns of the valley and in the country districts than ever before, and there will be still much more before the summer is well under way
 We have also before the county road system, which will give employment to several hundred men for the next two three years. Then, there is the construction of that great irrigation enterprise the lower Gia, which will give employment to other hundreds There will also be the cement mill, which for at least two years will have to be run at high pressre and after that it will settle back into a steady but growing industry
 All this will be in addition to what we have been havng-our thousands of of alfalfa and cotton and our other older industries which have made this valley so prosperous for several years.
 There will be so much going this in the city and the country that think great many people will forego their annual vacations They will want to stay at home and watch the swift transfor- nation There will be nothing else like it anywhere in the country.

ROOSEVELT AND THE FAIRIES

(Atlant1c MOnthIy.)
 President Roosevelt was very desirous of meeting William Yeats, the poet; but Yeats who wandered in fairyland was very hard to bring down an exact date The president hoped arrange an appropriate party for him. but Yeats lost in darkest Washington did not appear at club until very late the night preceding the luncheon consequently there was no great party. The children however were there, with Mrs. Roosevelt-Archie apparently the most anxious to hear about the Irish fairies
 The Celtic poet seemed very happy but he was silent President Roosevelt beamed through his glasses and tried to draw him
 Suddenly Yeats said: Its the little people we must consider
 Oh, yes, the president rejoined, rather surprised T believe with all heart in the preservation the little nations"
 Yeats looked astonished and said By the little people he means the Irish fairies"
 It was President Roosevelts turn to look aston ished. Mr. Yeats, have you seen Irish fairy" he asked, with a glint in his eye.
 Many times" said Yeats soemnly. Sure, not only l. but every Irishman especially the old ones that the hay in the twilight have seen the little people many and many 8 time: but they not small nsignificanpt creatures like the English fair ies; they are giants, the old gods back again
 The president hawled out but the children found themselves congenial ground.

A PeriIous Eliuht

The most perilous flight in history is the inaccu- rate description of Hawker and Grieves attempt to beat the Americans the ocean. It was perous enough for failure meant almost certain death while the American aviators surrounded by almost every possible precaution.
 Neither flight though made into that unseen but certain terror into which Andre drifted twenty years ago in search of the north pole From the northernmost point of land in Europe he flew away into the silent north, which preserved it's silence regarding him.
 Andres balloon was for the air alone like the Sopwith, and unlike the NCs, which give aviators lease of life water The flight of Andre was away all mankind It into uninhabited and unin- habitable night and space. It may well have been into the "black hoe that great chasm in the heav- ens in which there are no stars
 That may easily be said to be the most perilous flight in history. It is impossible future history could record perilous one.
