powers indicates that in times OF stress
and emergency national hnanclal
strength has always been greatly IN
derestimated For this reason, ana De-
cause of the excessive demand for cap
ital in industrial fields during war
time, even the greatest nations are In
variably required to give very good
bargains in their securities in order 10
raise money to finance war. In 1867
the United States Government was IN
the midst of a great war and was nav
ing considerable difficulty in raising
the necessary funds.
What They Thought.
During this period the London
Economist, an established and substan-
tial periodical, expressed its opinion OF
our financial future in these words:
1T is utterly out of the question, IN
our judgment, that the Americans can
obtain, either at home or In Europe,
anything like the extravagant sums
they are asking-for Europe will not
lend them; America cannot"
The Times expressed conservative
English opinion as follows:
mo pressure that ever threatened Is
equal to that which now hangs over
the United States, and it may safely
be said that if in future generations
they faithfully meet their liabilities
they will fairly earn fame which will
shine throughout the world"
What We Did.
1t may be fairly taken for granted
that the ideas expressed by these sub
stantial periodicals were supported by
the mass of English public opinion
yet, in spite of these weighty and hon
est opinions to the contrary, we die
succeed In financing the war for three
more years until the victory was won
In connection with the above quota
ton from the Times, it is interesting
to note that within five years after thu
end of the war the United States hac
either paid off or refunded on bette
terms all its obligations which were re
deemable at that time
In 1869 when the government wen
on the market to buy up its own unma
| tured securities it was required to pa.
112 currency, or the equivalent of 9
in gold in order to induce owners t
| part with their war bonds.
Your grandfather had this oppor
tunity to buy Civil War securities; yor
may now buy the securities of the sam
| government in the form W. S. S. an
| Liberty notes.

THE SHEPHERD
AND THE CROOK

Herbert johnson, the man who draws
those inimitable cartoons for the Sat
urday Evening Post, put into black and
white in the March issue of the mag
azine something that every man who
owns a Liberty Bond ought to frame.
1t is entitled "The Shepherd and the
Crook"
In the foreground, ragged cut in
plug" hat and a swallowtail coat and
with an avaricious smile on his face,
is wolf with a grip full of all sorts of
fiim-fiam stocks. Speeding towards him
| is a flock of sheep in the clothes of
humans, each trying to get to the wolf
first with a Liberty Bond to trade for
the flim-fiam stocks. Uncle Sam, the
shepherd, stands in the background, as
tonished at the sudden insanity dis
played by his flock.
JOhnsons cartoons are good because
they are always true and always well
done. This one is particularly true and
exceptionally well done. In a glance
, 1t tells story that every Liberty Bond
/ holder ought to heed.
The American buyer of Liberty
Bonds who let's go of his bonds for
fake stock, or even for stock that is
not fake, is playing into the hands of
wolves. The wolf always gets the bet
ter of the sheep. If he didn't he
wouldn't have anything to do with the
sheep.
Every man or woman who owns Lib
erty Bonds can put it down IN his pipe
or her powder-puff any time anybody
! offers something for Liberty Bonds
that the Liberty Bonds Fsre worth more
than the thing offered. johnson shows
his human sheep wearing silly smiles
as they rush for the wolf. A man own.

TO EXPEDITE ELECTION RE-
 TURNS

A campaign has been suggested in Western states for a double election board, looking toward quicker returns. Such boards are now in existence in Kansas and West Virginia, and as result those states receive their re- turns earlier than any other state in the Union.
 Senator Frank M. Carr of Oakland, Cal, has introduced skel' ton bill in the California senate and contem- plates drawing up a completed meas ure during the present session. Senator Carr advises that the bill he proposes to frame does not in any way affect the secrecy of the ballot, as the election officials and attendants would be under oath not to divulge the vote until the poll closed. Every effort would, he said, be made to so adjust matters that it would be i'm possible for a candidate or news paper, or any interested person to gain the slightest information ahead of time as to the trend of the vote before the polls closed.
 Senator Carr stated that the only logical argument against the plan would be the necessity of employing two extra attendants for each booth. Such employment, he said, would be necessarary to an expeditions count, and it could hardly be avoided if the purpose of the bill and the plans are to be adequately fulfilled.
 Senator Carr has expressed the be- lief that if the votes are counted ac- cording to the plan the total vote in California at any election would be available in half to an hour and a half after the polls closed. Only meager returns have been available at any time in past elections in Califor- nia, even at a very late hour in the day of election, and generally enough returns were not forthcoming to fore cast the result before the day follow ing election.
 In Washington a measure already has been submitted by Representative John D. Bassett of Spokane.
