THE MONEY REMAINS HERE.
While the country is preparing to subscribe the third
Liberty Loan, let this fact ever be borne in mind; The
money does not leave home. In this respect our situation
is unlike that of our Allies who were obliged to send huge
sums abroad for war material. While their reserves were
constantly depleted, ours were constantly increased.
As stated many times in connection with the first two
loans, the war must be paid lor out of future savings—
the savings of wage earners, capitalists and all intermed
iates. Individually the people lend their credit to the
government on the' best of security, the government se
cures the money and pays it out for war supplies. The
money is passed from hand to hand—always among our
own people—and it quickly returns to the place from
which it started. It keeps moving all the time.
Of course, the thought of keeping our money at home,
'• a sordid way of looking at the matter. Sustaining the
government’s finances involves patriotic duty; still, we
must not lose sight of the fact that calls lor subscriptions
will continue until we win the war. Saving money in or
der that we may he enabled to answer these calls is an in
tensely practical question as well as an act ol pure patriot- j
ism. If the money were sent out of the state—never to
return—it would materially affect the prosperity of the
commonwealth, but as a matter of fact, it does not leave
the state. Not only does the money stay at home, but we
receive more every year from the government than we
pay into the government.
OPPOSES DRY BILL. !
Cardinal Gibbons has strenuously denounced the nat
ional prohibition amendment in a statement issued by him
and declared that legislators of the states should not “bow
to the fanaticism that seems to be ruling us in this re
spect."
He declared that some of the lawmakers seemed ac
tuated by cowardice in voting against their convictions for;
the amendment. The Cardinal declared that it the nation
al prohibition bill is ratified commonwealths will lose con
trol of the regulatory powers they now possess, as well as
the revenues “that rightfully belong to them.”
“I feel," sail! the Cardinal, “that if the amendment is!
ratified there will spring up in all parts of the country il
licit stills that will manufacture a low grade of whisky
that will do more harm than the good grade is doing. Beer
and light wines will pass out of existence and the man who
wants a drink will have to resort to the brand of intoxi
cant that is made surreptiiously, and we all know what ef
fect that will have on the men of the country.”
THE BEAR GARDEN.
The hall (during a recent meeting of the central gov
ernment) resounds with profane expletives. The chair
man, a trusted lieutenant of Trotzky, replies to an attack
hv a critical member, who makes an unsavory insinuation
%
with regard to Bolshevist policy. Somebody calls Trotz
ky a “blackguard." The Bolsheviki jump up from their
seats, cut to the quick by such an act of lese majesty; they
make for the offender and threaten to lynch him. The of
fender ducks under the chairs trying to escape. Some
take his part, others pounce upon his defenders. The
noise of moving chairs and falling articles of furniture is
merked in the general hubbub. The air is heavy with an
giy shouts, piercing whistles and market place expletive.
Trotzky leaps to the tribune and urges his followers to fur
then violence.. The chairman, after vainly struggling to
Ousted
he heard, at last leaves the chair, abandoning the meeting I
to general pendemonium.—(From the Petrograd Oven.)

“The kaiser professes to be a religious ruler, accord
ing to an exchange, which asks: “We wonder what the
kaiser thinks of the prophet’s prediction that the time will;
come when the lion will lie down with the lamb.” The
kaiser has sought to hasten the day, but with the lion out
side.
We note in an advertisement that “woman’s greatest
pride is her hair." We have heard about that before: but
have never been deeply impressed, because so much of it
is false pride.
“Henry Ford is about to launch a plan for turning out
a ship a day,” according to an esteemed contemporary.
It will be great business when Henry gets to launching
ships at that rate.
We understand that the doctors have declared Count
Luxburg insane. Argentina doctors doubtless will con
tend that it is another case of the Prussian madness.

The kaiser has never taken Hague, of Holland, ser
iously; but Haig, of Flanders’ fame—he’s different.

FOREIGN WOMEN HERE
HELPING UNCLE SAM
^ .«***»*#**
WASHINGTON, Feb. TL — That,
foreign women in the United States
an volunteering to work for Uncle
Sam and the allies is evident iron; the
registration taken by the woman’s
committee of the Council of National
Defense. I here have been many re
ports of Italian women doing fed
Cross wink or buying Liberty bonds.
Polish women, Russians, Portugese,
and Japanese oiler all sorts ot service.
The Chinese were a feature in Chi
cago’s registration. Hut the last re
port from the States is possibly the
most striking of all, for in Idaho Has
■ (pies ire volunteers.
“There never was such a test of our
melting pot as this which is on us
now.” says the woman’s committee,
“and the response of many aliens who
are with us has been as touching as
it i< magnificent.”
