TAFT CRITICISES THE CRITICS
Former President Taft is causing the dry bones of the Republican Bolsheviks in congress and throughout the country to rattle uncomfortably by ihis exposure df the partisan criticism of these higher-up “reds” toward President Wilson and what he has accomplished at the peace ccmTerence. Last Friday at San Francisco, in addressing the closing session of the Pacific Coast Congress of the League to Enforce Peace, he replied to opponents of the plan to establish a league of nations, and referred to an open letter addressed to him by Senator William E. Borah of. IdaJho, which questioned the efficacy of the Monroe doctrine in ©vent the league of nations plan ■was adopted. “Senator Borah wants to know in what he calls an open letter,’ said Mr. Taft, “whether I would consent to a league of nations in which the Monroe doctrine is not recognized. I will answer him by saying that I would like to have the Monroe doctrine acknowledged specifically by such a league, but if a recognition of its principles is contained in the covenant for such a league I would not object to the form on which it is put. “Article X of the covenant drafted in Paris extends the Monroe doctrine to the entire world and gives It the backing of the entire world. Consequently it recognizes the Monroe doctrine and I am Int entire support of that covenant. . "What I would like to aek Senator Borah is this: ‘lf he insists upon the specific acknowledgment of the Monroe doctrine In the covenant of the league of nations and If such recognition is given It In the covenant as finally agreed upon In Paris, will he vote for a treaty based upon the covenant .as amended?* "The wild words of Represents-
tive Fess and Senators Reed and Poindexter, \hot out into the air on the theory that the- people of this country do not read and that they will accept their words unquestioned, would be humorous if they were not the utterances of eminent and learned gentlemen.” Mr. Taft left San Francisco Friday for Salt Lake City to attend the mountain congress of the League to Enforce Peace. At Sacramento the following day dispatches state; “William Howard Taft, president of the League to Enforce Peace, today gave out a statement in which he reiterated his statement that those who oppose the league of nations covenant on the ground that we should maintain the so-called policy against entangling alliances have a narrow vision of bur national duty.’ ”
WOMAN FOLLOWS SAFE PLAN
Saves and Buys and Holds Her Investments—Estate Grows by Accu- * mutating Safe Bonds. This is the story of Miss Mary E. Hallum, who for forty-five years preceding her death worked in a Chicago department store: When Miss Ilallam began to earn her living she had the same qualifications for success that everyone has — average health and average intelligence. Capital she had none. But she had something else as good if not better —an appreciation of the advantages of thrift and an unswerving ambition to succeed. Department-store salaries are not generally regarded as the best stepping stones toward prosperity. Yet Miss Hallam prospered. She saved a part of her wages each week and invested them well. She never speculated. She put her money only into such investments as would yield a sure interest return. Upon her death she left an estate valued at $70,000. Had Miss Hallam, during the earlier years of her progress toward prosperity, had the advantage of investing in Liberty bonds, her pace would have been still more rapid. In her younger days there were no government bonds available. In order to be sure that her investments were safe she carefully studied the Investment field and accepted a comparatively low rate of Interest. But she succeeded in spite of that. American men and women, starting out today, hav6 a great advantage. The war has for the first time since 1865 made government bonds of the United States available to the small Investor. Before 1917 the small government issues were snapped up by the banks for their own special uses. But now Liberty bonds may be bought by everyone and at a higher rate of interest than would ever have been possible had It not been for the war. The government soon will offer to the people one more chance to participate in a great loan. By that time the nation will have contracted a floating debt of more than $5,000,000,000, which must be provided for. Miss Hallam’s story shows that anybody can save and accumulate. And common senSe shows that everybody who is saving can find no investment qolte as good as Uncle Sam’s Victory Liberty bonds.

SAVE NOW FOR OLD AGE
Where Will You Stand at Blxty-flv% What You Do Now Provide* for tho Future. Do you want to be dependent on friends, relatives or charity when yon are sixty-five years old? If not, get ready to buy Victory Liberty bonds to the utmost of your present ability, and lay them away against old age. This advice Is founded upon the researches of the statisticians employed by the life Insurance companies. They have devoted much study to the problem of dependency, and they know. They have found that of one hundred healthy average young men who start out in life at the age of twenty-five years: Thirty-six will be dead before they reach the age of sixty-five, most of them leaving families unprovided for. Of the remaining sixty-four men, at the age of sixty-five years: One will be rich. Four will be fairly well-to-do. Five will be supporting themselves by working. FIFTY-FOUR will be dependent upon friends, relatives or charity. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE NUMBERED AMONG THE FIFTYFOUR, FORM THE HABIT OF SAV- ! ING AND THRIFT. THE BEST AND SAFEST INVESTMENT FOR YOUR SAVINGS IS IN UNITED STATES : GOVERNMENT BONDS. HELP “FINISH THE JOB.” Get Behind the Victory Liberty Loan. “Peace must be financed as well as war, and the Initial stages of peace may be found ever more expensive than war. Therefore, get behind the Victory Liberty Loan when It comes.” —Secretary Glass. HELP “FINISH THE JOB."
THE MISER AND THE WOMAN.
A miser, born in a land afar, Who’d gained a fortune over here. Where Liberty is the guiding star, Looked up from his gold with a bitter leer. “I got it by pinching and going without; They call me greedy; I am,” said he. “The Nation’s call to lend I flout. For bonds theyll get no gold from me.” A woman gazed on a star of gold. She’d given all she had to give, And sacrificed to lend, ’twas told. That Liberty and Land might live. “And I’ll lend again and again,” she said, “To help to remedy war’s ills, And to keep true faith with our hero dead By helping pay our wartime bills.”
LOOK AT THIS AS IT IS
No man likes to plow where there are many stumps. He is likely to out of patience and swear. This is the way to stop the swearing: Buy a stump puller —a one-man puller, that will pull any stump in Jasper county—and one man is all that is needed. I can furnish the puller. * Who is the man that wants to pull the stumps? Land is worth too much these times for nothing but stumps to occupy the soil. Some one that wants to make good money, call on C. A. Roberts for the puller and he can furnish a party who wants 20 acres of stumps pulled and is willing to pay a good price for the work and spot cash when the work is done. —C. A. ROBERTS, Front street, Rensselaer. Ind. ts The economical way to buy correspondence stationery Is In pound boxes or bulk quantities. The Democrat handles several different styles and qualities of such papers, with envelopes to match. In Its fancy stationery department.
LETTERS FROM OUR SOLDIER*
(Continued from page one)
you can imagine the size of it. For about three days I was just a little leary that we might he attacked, as our seaplanes and destroyers had left ns and we were by our own sweet lonesome. Not another boat of any description was In sight for three long days, hut on the morning of the day we landed a convoy from this side came to our relief, and say! believe me, we sure were glad to see them l for we were then in the real danger zone and sure felt that we needed about all the help we could get, but nothing happened, and I sure was glad to see land once more. Well, after arriving in Liverpool we then hiked about 7 miles with our full packs to Camp Knotty Ash; stayed there one day then entrained for South Hampton, England. I enjoyed that trip very much, as parts of England are very pretty and it was some satisfaction to be on solid ground again. Of course, now, don’t think that we had Pullmans to ride in, for we didn’t. Really, If the 'people In the old world could see one of our
THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT
passenger trains in the States they would run and hide, for we hare it on them In a hundred ways for service. Well, we went aboard a U. S. boat at South Hampton for the dangerous ride across the English channel. Thanks to the convoys, we got across safely, landing at La Harve, France, on August 17T From' there we entrained for our training camp at Vlvlers, near Tournerre. Here we got our first drilling In the old world, and they sdrely put us through, the mi’ll, but that was only the beginning. In September we started for the front and took up a position that was said to be a quiet sector, but it was far from it. There was where I got my first taste of what the game was. When you think it Is pleasant work on an outpost or patrollng, why, you have another guess coming. Aifter we were relieved by a Polish division we went a few miles back of the lines and ( took up our last training period, | which was to put us in shape ,to . meet the Huns in large quantities. I After training here for about three weeks we entrained for the St. Miheil sector. But before this we j had -put in many days of very hard j hiking with heavy packs. It surely was a tough guy that went through these without falling out. After detraining at a place called Sampigny we started on another hike to the front again. Camped one night at St. Miheil, the next afternoon starting out again. From this on our hiking was after night, and it seemed as though it never failed to rain on one of these hikes either, so you can readily believe that I thought of home many, many times, especially when we got into this sector, as things were pretty hot there. Well, we rested for a few days at some camp about 10 miles from nowhere and back in the woods where a man would have to have a compass to find It. On the morning of November 9 were called out of bed about 3 o’clock and ordered to roll packs. Now, we knew that something was up so, after a hurried breakifast, we started, we knew not where, but we finally passed the artillery putting over a barrage. Then we knew for sure what was up. The day was rainy and foggy, as it most always was on the front. You know that kind of weather adds to the comfort of a soldier—“nit,’’ but at 11:05 we went over the top. I have told you in other letters about my experience in “over the top” so will not repeat it here, but you can see from this that we haven’t had a bed of roses to lie on while over here. I know there are a lot of you that would like to see this country and enVy ns, but it is all old stuff to us and I can say that I have seen all the “scenery” that I care to see except a little spoi in Indiana, called home, sweet home. It’s all over now and I hope that there will never be another time when so many will have to sacrifice their all, just for the sake of a few men who think that the world was only made for them. 1 can’t help but think of the boys that are resting “over here.” They did all that they could, and gave all they could give. No doubt many hearts are torn and bleeding for their loved ones that will never return. But God knows and surely will give them a reward for all their trials and hardships that one is sure to encounter in war times. Well, I suppose yon are getting tired of reading this, so will have to cut it out. But just before I
