BACK UP THE GOVERNMENT. This is the year, month and day the last day for the American people to make clear that they are the American people; that they can prove their own courage, keep their own premises, stand' by their own principles and show the world what democracy can do. The United - States of America has deliberately gone into the most awful war experienced by the world fou many centuries. The declaration of war is not the act of the President, the administration or congress: it is the deliberate decision c the men who elect representatives, senators and the President- This country has had two years and three-quarters in which to think this question over, and has decided to go to war because war had already come to us, and could not be avoided without giving up national rights, honor and independence. Having once made this decision, the country must prepare itself for tthe -duties which follow. There can be no putting the hand to the plow and then locking back- The decision to got to war includes the decision to raise men, to muster them, officer them, train them, equip them and transport them where they can have some influence in the outcome of the war. The act of congress for organizing a new national army is one of tthe many necessary steps; another is the taxation act, which shows the magnificent determination of the nation to take up the -heavy burdens cf

the great war. The next step is to show confidence in the government, but putting into its hands the necessary ready money for organizing the army, and also for paying those advances to the allied governments which for some time to come must be the only direct method of participating in the war. The Liberty Loan is a good investment with it3 3a per cent net revenue, free of tax. It is as safe, as Uncle Sam; as strong in its foundation as the Washington monument, as wide as the continent, as permanent as the constitution. If the bonds of the U. S. A. are not sound, rip investment is sound. In the civil war people subscribed hundreds of millions to the government loans and every dollar of interest and principally was paid promptly, honorably and fully in gold. Wake up, Americans, to your duty and your opportunity! It is not a question simpy of a safe investment. The issue is a safe coun:ry. You are. putting your money into the solicwty of the United States next year and every year- Without loss or danger to yourself you are placing a rock under the feet ofthe army, a safe port before the navy. A subscription to the .Liberty Loan is a support to truth, justice and free government. What wprd are you to send back today to the submarine pirates and the aero pirates? Are ycu with us or against U3? '

After five months of exploration work in South America, the fruits of .which will be notable contributions to science, Dr. Alexander Hamilton Rice, famous as an explorer, and his i itrepid wife, who was Mrs. George D. Widener of Philadelphia, are back in New York, resting from perils and privations that few men and no American woman ever before willingly faced in a search for knowledge.

A LOT OF PIGS. A dispptch from Washington points out that the postoffice is becoming a recruiting office- An old law long inoperative has been dug up whereby postmasters are paid $3 each for recruits for the federal armyUp to the end of April, which is as long a period as is covered by the war department figures, postmasiers had sent in 3,754 recruits and had been paid a total of $28,770, says the Columbus Republican. A list of 62 postoffices is given, showing that Atlanta leads the list with CIS postmaster's recruits, which netted the postmaster $3 each. Indianapolis was fifth inthe list with 230. Ft. Wayne was fourth with 239, and Terre Haute was fifteenth with 129. Evervbodv knows that the average postmaster is appointed to ray r

is to regulate the tonnage of motor trucks that enter its residential streets. Motor trucks are becoming so powerful and their loads are so heavy that these veritable freight trains are fast cutting our highways to piece3. Whether country roads, main city arteries or streets where homes are they all show the effects of rough and tearIf we wish to pave streets every few years and be ever in debt for assessments and interest all we have to do is leave the "freight trains" alone. In Chicago they have partially solved the. problem by imposing a vehicle tax on all conveyances, the proceeds being used to keen streets

in repair. Chicago instituted this tax ten years ago, recognizing at that early date the justice of it. Here in this 'more complex day we have no J

sjcu baieguara. . in aaaition to a motor vehicle tax we need a tonnage restrictive law. No one, whether resident or out of town or not has a right to send a heavily loaded motor truck into streets when he knows full well that it puts them on the way to early destruction.

postoffices are so well organized that, try as they may, the postmasters find little actual work to do. They are required, under federal regulations ' to spend eight hours on the job each day, but even if they do this there Is not a great deal for them to do and the assistants, clerks and carriers really have the work to shoulder. To think that rostmasters in this country are. now taking. $5 each for recruits is nothing short of a national shame. Postmasters are fedeial. agents. They are supposed to aid the government in every possible way. When they begin doing this for the revenue there is in it, their status drops away below par. Securing men to help win the great war ought to b'e a privilege rather than a matter of dollars and cents- A few postmasters in Indiana have refused to touch this money. But the vast majority seem to be neglecting their official duties while they try to collar recruits for the army and then collect their little old $3 for each man so taken.

in New York and Chicago, the motor vehicle death rate here, which is

r.ow six times that of Detroit, will show no- signs of abating- Autoists who speed do not seem to realize that they are potential manslaughterers.
