HIGHER TYPE Of
PATRIOTISM NEED
Of PRESENT HOUR
STEINER QUALITY REQUIRED
TO SERVE NATION NOW THAN
DURING CONFLICT.
DELIRIUM OF WAR ENDED
Government Is Borrowing Two BIZ.
lion Dollars a Month and Must
Be Supported.

ut takes a higher type Of patriot.
ism to serve this nation today than 1t
required in the delirium OF war 1t
Is the duty OF the American people,
and I believe they will regard It as
their privilege to approach the Fifth
Liberty Loan with some degree Of pa,
triotism and not altogether on a com
mercial basis"
This was the answer of Secretary
OF the Treasury Carter Glass to the
bankers of Pittsburgh when they told
him the Fifth Liberty Loan should be
sold to the American people on n cold.
blooded business basis.
Is there no obligation on us to
recompense the heroism and valor our
brave boys?
Loan. the Victory Loan which will
begin April 81. is an absolute neces.
sity. The Government is spending
more money than ever. and the bills
are coming in faster than ever. The
last loan was all used up in Deem.
Der and since then the Government
has been borrowing about two billion
dollars a month against the accruing
taxes OF March Is and the coming
loan.
Our national honor requires that all
our debts be paid promptly and the
slate wiped clean. Moreover. the men
abroad, some two million OF them. are
TO be brought home when the Euro.
pean situation is safe for Democracy.
Meantime they must be provided for.
This Is no time to slow down in our
systematic efforts to The rails.
ing Of money by the billions is a mat.
ter OF heroic saving.
Reserve funds must be accumulated
in the national banks by the innumer.
able savings of millions of people.
Twenty-Five cents a day spread over a
population OF one hundred million
people would roll up the enormous
sum of seven hundred and fifty mil.
lion dollars a month in savings.
The duty and obligation of the peo.
pie is TO save money and economic
as wisely as possible, SO that they
may be ready to do their part when
the Fifth Liberty Loan is offered in
April.

WATTERSON QUITS JOB
For 81 Years Editor of Louisville
Courier-JournaI.

Louisville, April 3.-The Courier
Journal printed Wednesday this an
nouncement:
with this issue. Mr.. Henry Waiter
son retires as editor emeritus of the
CourierJournal. From 1858 until 1918
it's editor, his brilliant, forceful and
individual writings on public ques-
tions brought fame, both to himself
and this journal. Desiring to retire
last August, when control of the news
paper changed hands, he yet was per-
suaded to continue in the capacity of
editor emeritus, thru which connec-
ton he might continue to address the
readers of the Courier-Journal, while
relieved of the active responsibilities
of the editorship.
HE now requests his retirement:
finding in conflict his view opposing
the League of Nations and those of the
Courier Journal favoring the propo-
sal. His personality will continue to
be an inspiration to Courier-J ournal
workers, his accomplishments a STAN
dard of achievement; his name one to
be praised and loved. He has passed
his 18th birthday. May he pass many
another milestone before the world
loses him as a companion or letters
are deprived of the magic of his PEN

Watterson had been elected president

ton formed last week in Philadelphia

NONE TO Get LAND
Foreign Companies Have Con-
cessiOnS in Lower California.
But the Constitution Prohibits
Them From Buying Land.

Mexico City. April 3.-"In Lower
California there are various foreign
enterprises, among which are one or
two Japanese, to which have been
given concessions for the exploitation
of certain natural resources in vari-
Gus places. but none of them has
been permitted, nor will be per-
mitted, to acquire tracts of land be-
cause the constitution prohibits this
definitely" was a statement made to-
day by General Amado Aguirre, I'M
der secretary of agriculture and de-
velopment.
Naturally there has been a respect
for those companies holding conces-
sions which have always complied
with the stipulations of their con-
tracts, but some companies, among
them the Mexico Land company,
have had their contracts nullified for
not having complied with all their
provisions. These concessions will
be duly and legally liquidated. Those
interests which have large holdings
nobody will be given more than $500
acres.''
Keep Them All Out.
General. Aguirre declared the gov
eminent had not and would not al
low foreign interests to obtain lands
in Lower California and pointed out
that article twenty-seven of the con-
SlllullOIl pIOlllDllS
holding lands within sixty miles OF a
frontier and thirty miles of a sea-
coast. He said that under these pro-
visions because of the geographical
situation of Lower California, it
would be virtually impossible for for
eign interests to secure any consid-
cradle tract even in the interior, be-
cause of the narrowness of the
peninsula.
Regarding concessions held by for
eigners the under-secretary stated that
among those holding fishing rights
were both japanese and Norwesians
but he made it plain that no foreign
interests held rights to land along the
coasts
Discussing a purported interview
with him on March 29, General
Aguirre denied its accuracy. In TAX
ing up this interview at length it was
pointed out that~it was stated THE
concessions were fully authorized by
the constitution" which he said ''ab-
solutely robbed the first sentence stat
ing Japanese corporations have been
granted concessions to exploit agricul-
tural lands in Lower California of
any meaning" He said that this
would cause alarm, since the geo.
graphic CONFORMATION of Lower Cali
fornia and constitutional provisions
regarding zones barred to foreigners
absolutely prohibited large holdings.
The under-secretary declared, how
ever. that the dispatch was incorrect
in that the only concessions granted
were five year permits to conduct fish
ing operations which permits allow nc
land or port holdings. General
Aguirre stated that when asked re-
garding the reported concessions by
George 7. Summerlin, ad interim
: charge at the American embassy here
he informed the American diplomat
of the facts substantially as given in
his statement quoted above. -
Baron Fugitaro Otori, Japanese
minister to Mexico. stated yesterday
that the only agricultural interests
held by his countrymen were small
rice lands near Mexicali which he said
were absolutely without Importance

HARD ROADS FOR HARPER
County Gets Ready for Big Program
for This SKINNER.

Harper, April 3.-Harper county is
getting ready TO build hard roads this
summer. A petition is now being
signed by land owners residing in the
benefit district to build a concrete
highway across the county east and
west.
1t is proposed to build this road
from a connecting point on the east
county line with q similar road to be
built by the commissioners of Sumner
county, which will connect yelling
ton and Argonia in Sumner county
and Donville, Harper and Attica in
Harper county, extending to the Bar
Der county line where it will connect
with a hard-surface road leading to
Medicine Lodge, then on to Pratt
where it will connect with the Cannon
Ball road to the west and east.
The petition will also ask the eoun-
ty commissioners to build a concrete
road connecting Harper and Anthony.
This proposed road is to be eighteen
feet wide and will be about forty
miles long. The benefit district has
been put at two and one-half miles
on either side of the highway. The
location that has been selected for this
highway is the road that has been used
for years as an automobile road from
the northwest to the southeast.

PLANS MAY LOSE
The Whole Program of Lower
Prices May Go Into Discard.
Rail Administration Refusal Is
the Cause of 1t All.

Washington, April 3.-The whole
program of lower prices thru agree
ments between industries and the gov
eminent industrial board is threatened
with discard as the result of the re-
fusal of the rail administration to ac-
cept the boards prices for its pur-
chases.
Only President Wilson can save the
situation, it is believed. He has been
cabled a full report of the difficulty
ders as to whether the view of the
board or Director General Hines shall
prevail.
May Disturb Business.
Recommitment of the steel prices
previously agreed upon to the board
for further conferences with the rail-
road administra ton may have a dis
turbing effect on bVeiness conditions,
members of the board fear. This ac-
ton was decided on at a conference
of government officials after Hines re-
fused to change his attitude. Nearly
all the prices already have been put
into effect by the industrial board.
With unemployment increasing thru
out the country, members Of the board
believe industrial chaos will follow the
present business stagnation, unless
lower prices are agreed upon and
stabilized.
The view of the railroad administra-
ton is that prices can be forced lower
than those of the industrial board.
The board claims that return to pre-
war levels cannot be expected with
the present high wages which they
are opposed to reducing. Railroad
wages are greatly increa sed- and men,
bers of the board point out it is I'M
fair for the railroad administration to
try for extremely low levels when it
is big factor in holding UP wages.

upon were determined after long
