VOTE AS YOU SHOOT.

Following the days of the late unpleasantness between the ft dea, and reaching up to within very recent time, it was no uncommon thing to hear the expression, “Vote as you shot.’’ It was ample enough to know that 'a candidate was of “our kind.” Policies counted for very little except as tuey related to the (treat Question. This custom ha<J one vtry noticeable effect—it. served to keep alive a burning loyalty to the cause that was fought for. Today, the old Unionist and the old Confederate are equally proud of their re-spect-ive records. The time has come when we— North, South, East- and West—need to adopt the old slogan, only in a modified form. Let its “vote as we shoot.” All cannot shoot. Possibly there are some who cannot give much, and some who can serve but little. But every qualified American Citizen can vote, and the elections ' are drawing near. Leaders, state and

national, are to be chosen. It is vitally important that in this choosing no mistakes be made. There is but one vital issue in the .world today—the crushing and utter annihilating of kaiserism with all its i hellishness and all the unspeakable [ policies it stands for. Let us not bear the shame of sending to our legislative halls afiy man ’ whose complete loyalty is in the slightest degree questionable. The great gravity of the situation demands that, if need be, we subordinate every other interest to fhis one supreme demand—utter, unquestioned loyalty to the country and her cause. ' Let us vote as we shoot—vote to free the world from the great octopus of Hunisni: vote to give liberty to the down-trodden of earths millions, an to enthrone rigfat and justice and universal peace. But let us remember, in casting our ballots, that there is but one way to accomplish these objects—fisht to a complete and glorious victory*. Our heroic lads will do the shooting*. Let every American vote back up a bullet. \ , . .

WORK OR FIGHT.

The decree has gone forth—-“work or tight.” It is well—as far as it goes. But limited to subjects of the selective draft, it doesn’t begin to reach far enough. It should be made io reach all classes and conditions of American life; from the hbbO by the roadside to the millionaire in- his limousine. “No drones in America" should be the watch-cry till the great conflict is won. America expects every man to do his duty. Will public sentiment see that he does it? Giving is not enough, though one give .to his last kite. Moneys ehn- not wi n this wa r , but that which money can buy—the fruits of toil —can and will win. The millionaire gives hundreds of thousands to buy cannon-->,c: if nd cannon are rna.l?, the gift is i ,t abortive. It is labor that is needed now—intelligent, persistent, increasing labor, that shall go .to furnish and create those Vital sinews o: war without which, our great armies would be impotent. Bar the sluggard. Place hint under the ban of a supreme public con’.-mpt. It matters not his povertv or his millions, deman I tha* he WORK—and at sotne needful occupation. Laboh is king, and must hold the throne until it has made this world safe for all peaceful peoples.

The Army, like a college education, does not make a sage out of a fool, nor a gentleman out of a cad. Its function, like the college, is? not to create but to develop, to reveal the real composition of the .man submitting himself to its influence. Many thoughtless ones, seeing strutting uniforms, with seemingly but little within them, are tempted to decry the army as an institution, just as they or others have done the colleges, now and in times past. They, forget that these young men, but recently raised from ,an inconspicuous place in the common mass to a distinct place in the sun, the nation’s potential heroes, are as yet untried, and even when the fires of peril do burn out all but their essential characters, they will only be what they are, developed, accented, tempered maybe, yet possessing rhe same fundamental character with which they started. That so many men prove truly* heroic under test speaks well for this fundamental character of the race. But the point is, that we should laud the army* as a revealer of character, not praise or condemn it for the individual results of that revelation, for which the individual alone is responsible.

Are you saving NOW for the Fourth Liberty loan? Nothing would ‘please the kaiser more than to know- that you feel and act on the feeling that the war’s nearly over and the Government won’t need your few dollars. The war IS “nearly over’’—nearly , over 'HERE! and a few dollars willingly given now will do the work of hundreds and of thousands later on, w*he» brutal necessity may DEMAND! Have you eves stood on the street corner of a big city, w-here the street cars run swiftly and stop only long enough to pick up the. passengers at the very step? You may have seen some one running for a car, and because the car is not moving, he slackens his speed, just before he gets to it,, paying to himself, “I’m almost there. I can catch it all right.” But the car starts, picks up speed so rapidly that, though the self-fooled Wduld-be passenger sprints his best he loses his car. He had plenty 01 t'lre to c;tfh it, had he kc, t <n, but he “kidded himself” and lost out. Remember that and in this great war, don’t weaken, don’t let up for an instant, till it’s won, .THEN take your rest, knowing that you now have leisure to enjoy it.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

Eternal vigilance is the price of conservation. Vienna bread is in great demand in the Austrian capital. z When the Austrian cupboard is bare the Austrian cabinet is vacant. We are all creatures of habit, and the thrift habit is an excellent one. Cultivate it. Von Hindenburg's Anvil first breakfast in Paris is getting cold. What can be detaining him? When the Germans attempt a raid on American troops they are monkeying with a large and active buzzsaw. It is now reported also that Hindenburg is in an insane asylum. Planning the war required a madman and carrying it out made a lunatic. From study of the kaiser's speeches and actions alienists affirm that he has long been insane. ‘•Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make’mad,” The girl who married soldiers in succession and secured an allotment from each should have gone into Wall street. She has all the makings bf a high financier.

If gratitude is due to the man who blades of grass grow where only one Stew before, what is due to the farmer who has planted twice the acreage that he ever did before? • ~ The war bills, of England and America are met by appropriations made by parliment and congress respectively.

The - governiment desires us to conserve gas.and electric light; In the days when the community still harbored young men calling on their best girls with what fervid patriotism this request would have been carried out. General Pershing says, that the clean life and ,high ideals of the American soldier are due to the influence of the American mother, Do not be surprised if mother puts on airs for awhile.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

ARE INTERESTED IN MOVEMENT

For Enactment of a “Blue Sky” ■ Law in Indiana. Indianapolis, July s.—Legitimate bankers and investment banking j houses of Indiana are very much interested in the movetnent of the Better Business Bureau of this city to have a ‘‘blue sky” law enacted in Indiana. Since the bureau under the direction of David F. Porterfield, its secretary, started the movement tor such a law in Indiana, Mr. Porterfield said today, it has had assurances of support from individual banks and from officers of banking associations. Bankers have pointed to the fact that money is constantly needed for the financing of legitimate enterprises, but that it is sometimes difficult to sell stock in such enterprises because they cannot promise such returns as the promoters of fake oil companies and other simi- ! lar enterprises promise. The difference is that the one ’ type of enterprise proposes to reI main in the cdmununity and transact ! business, while the fake promoter’s (interest is confined entirely to the ■sale of stock. I Money is wasted and is kept out ■of worthy enterprises, as well as being diverted from Liberty Loan j bonds and other investments that * will aid in the financing of the war, the Better Business Bureau contends. In other states which have ‘‘blue sky” laws—and Indiana is one of I a very few remaininig states with[out such a law —it is necessary for those who offer stocks and herds |in new enterprises to submit the proposition to a state officer for examination. Indiana, not having 1 such a law, has become the mecca for all manner of schemes. Mr. Porterfield declares.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Still, still we bask in gilded ease, and soothe ourselves with, fine cigars, and fill ourselves with costly cheese, and choo around in motor cars. We put fine raiment on our backs, we buy* silk shirts of "gorgeous price; i we haven’t yet got down to tacks, we haven’t made a sacrifice. We read stern tales from o’er the sea, which tell of Britain’s battered line, and buy up seven bonds or three, where we should call for forty-nine. We haven’t helped our Uncle Sam so much it’s worth while to relate; we eat brown bread, well, spread with „jam, and think we’re doing something great.. We waste enough, each passing day, (because we do not use our domes) to drive the wolves of wain away from fifty thousand soldiers’ homes. We waste our coin on princely duds when simpler rags would do as well, we blow out change for smokes and suds, ana gawds too numerous to tell. Of sacrifice we’re talking large while on our padded course we romp, like Cleopatra on her barge, in luxury and idle pomp. Our loyalty is all a fake unless we show we have some steam; oh, let us prod burselves' awake, and do the things oi which we dream. s aSi
