SHOOTS STATEMENT.

Reed Smoot. United States Sen
ator from Utah. whose keen vision
has often been given on public
questions, gave out the following
interview:
Americas task is net over; her
Woodwork still remains to be done.
A great national, in fact a great
international duty still confronts
the American people. The cash and
the credit of the American people
must be used to finish paying for
this war and to pay for financing
the peace that is here in part and
which is now in process of compile
ton and confirmation in Paris.
mo American who loves his
country and who loves humanity
and justice and right can regard
his sacrifices at an end or his duty
done. We must pay for those
things we bought or contracted for
to make our army powerful and to
give our soldier boys the best care
possible. We must bring those
boys home and restore them to use
full occupations in civil life. We
must rehabilitate the wounded and
train them and fit them for useful
occupations-not for making of
nicknacks, but for mems work.
which men can do in spite of loss
of limbs or other permanent injury.
ITO our national duty every man,
woman and child in America must
make every reasonable sacrifice.
The great work we have done and
are doing is worthy of every sacri-
fee. Our soldiers have not died
merely that we might be safe from
German domination; they died for
much more than that. They died for
American principles, world justice
and world liberty, and that better
world should result from their sac
|Hificq. We American people nsnat
finish their work.
Money is great essential for
the proper performances of Amer
Iica's duty and this money must be
furnished by the American people.
They simply lend it to their Gov
eminent, which gives them In ex-
change securities of unimpeachable
value bearing fair rate of interest.
Through the Liberty loan and
through the War Savings Stamps
the United States offers every cit
izen, however small his or her
means and however small his or her
earning capacity, the opportunity TO
have a part in the nations great
task. 1t is a mighty poor Ameri-
can, in my opinion, who let's this
opportunity pass, who leaves to
others the sacrifice and the glory
iof Americas mission"
Peyton B. Bethel, who is Prom
inent in Main street business cir
cles, will be Chairman of the Vic
tory Liberty Loan campaign for
Jefferson county, to be held in
April, this announcement being
made Monday by State Chairman
Earl S. Gwin, and the selection is
looked upon as the very best that
could have been made. Marvin II.
Lewis, who has done effective work
in the successful campaigns that
have preceded this one, will con-
tinue as Chairman of the Speakers
Bureau, and c. G. Ousley will re-
main Publicity Chairman. The
State organization will remain un-
changed, with James A. Wilson as
Vice Chairman and Earl s. Gwin
as Chairman. Directed by such
men there is little doubt thai
Louisville and Jefferson county
