Destructive NAecINc.

eff the United States Senate is in
tellectually or morally capable of
formulating peace program that
will dispose of all the vexatious
questions with which the Peace Con-
ference must deal," says the New
York World, 1T may be sure that
the President of the United States,
the Prime Minister of Great Britain
and the Premier of France would
welcome it's assistance. But if the
Senate is not capable of giving this
practical help, the least it can do is
to refrain from nagging and BULLDOG
ing and threats. Day after day sena-
torial orators who have barely read
the headlines in the morning papers
rise in their seats and proceed to
tell the Peace Conference what it
must not do and what it must not
think and what it must not consider,
but there is, never constructive
suggestion. $50 = -.
while vociferously asserting their
rights as part Of the treaty-making
power Of the United States, the
Senators who are declaiming against
the reported decisions of the Peace
Conference seem to be afraid chiefly
that any general treaty will be made
with Germany or that this country
will assume in the peace any of the
responsibilities they helped fix upon
it when they voted for war.
"Unless there. is a peace that is
underwritten by the nations that
crushed Prussianism, the ultimate
vicory will rest with Germany. It
will be impossible to collect the in
IDENTITIES, it will be impossible to
guarantee the boundaries Of Europe,
it will be impossible to prevent the
organization of new coalition to
crush France and the small nations,
it will be impossible to stabilize in
any way the triumph Of democracy
which has cost so much blood and
treasure, and it will be impossible to
prevent a repetition Of this war. ].
If the activities of the Lodges.
the Knoxes the Borahs, the Hard
:ings and the Johnsons mean any
thing, it is that there shall be- no
general treaty Of peace with Ger
many, and hence no treaty that can
Be enforced that the victory shall
come to naught that they may graft

President Of the United States, !,

FROM STATE CAPITOL
. Continued from first page.)

The lifting of the lid as result of
the withdrawal by the state safety
commission of its orders covering
the liquor. traffic has had the effect
of replenishing a number Of cellars
in the dry sections of the state. One
legislator said that he had num-
Der of orders from constituents in
anticipation of the withdrawal but
that he: would have to consult the
legal department before he took ac-
ton. The attorney general has since
ruled that local laws only govern
ard that there is no legal restric-
tions as to railroads accepting liquor
for shipment. 49,
The Bolshevik element in the west
received little encouragement from
Gov. Burnquist who was the Lincoln
day orator at Seattle Wednesday. In
q speech full Of praise for the mar
tyred Lincoln and bristlng with in
vectives against the Red element
that is now attempting to gain con-
troll in the United States, he stirred
his hearers to a high pitch Of en-
thusiasm and was accorded an ova-
ton at the close. The infection Of
class he held had no place in Ameri-
can affairs, and in this connection he
paid his respects without stint to
the !. w. w. and the Nonpart isan
League who have been operating ex-
tensively in the Mort invest. Similar
sentiments were INDUCED in: by
Speaker Nolan Of the House who
was the Lincoln day orator on Tues

made useless for at least 365 days, 2s.
Saving IS the foundation of thrift.
Thrift stops waste, increases wealth
and builds prosperity. s4 :z$
These are some Of the things the
War Savings division Of the Ninth
District War Loan Organization. is
trying to impress upon the people of
this and other Northwest commune
ties through general publicity and
the organization Of War Savings So
cieties.s -z<- ~ :'G.:":.f:,, .s-.:.. = Z.
These thoughts make us who have
had little respect for nickles and
dimes and dollars stop and think.
It should make us take a personal
inventory and decide if there are
not ways in which we can save. It
should make us cut out some person
al waste and put the result into
some of Uncle Sans stamps.
;. This thinking in interest and the
saving Of money leads to endless and
helpful reflection.
For example, if every person in the
United States saved only one insig-
nificant, little nickel in one day by
doing without some useless and per-
haps harmful thing, what would it
amount to-.
It would mean that at night on
that day the people of the United
States would be just Five Million
Dollars richer.
Suppose the people kept this up
for one short month. What would
that mean?
It would mean that at the end of
that thirty days the people of the
United States would have saved One
Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars.
This would be great, but why not
keep it up for the rest of 1919? The
result of this combined and contin-
ued saving would be that we, the
people Of the United States, would
have saved for investment, between
now and January 1st, over One Bill
lion, Five Hundred Million Dollars.
This immense sum, if invested in
War Savings Stamps, would earn for
us savers approximately Sixty-four
Million Dollars in 1920. This would
have been done without a single sac
rifice, with hardly an effort and all
from nickel savings.
Just think of the result if individ-
ual saving and investment were car.
ried into dollars and hundreds OF
dollars, as it should be.
This wonderful nation must now
depend on its own people to finance
its great governmental projects and
all of its own industrial develop
ment. To do this we must learn tc
produce more, to eliminate waste, to
save and to- invest wisely. With the
lesson of Thrift learned, nothing car
stop us. Personal and national limits
of accomplishment will be off.
Let's begin now by:
Following the suggestions of the
War Loan Organization.
