lion of the niouient for every worker in America. The welfare of American industry and commerce depends almost entirely on tho successful flotation of the Victory liberty loan. This follows as a necessary consequence of the fact that the Liberty loan is so designed as to give mobility to the re-ources of the bunfc and trust companies of America. As a result of floating nearly nineteen billions of long term Liberty bonds during the last two years the assets of the banks have been, in a large measure, "tied up" in securities of a "fixed" character. This condition has been het with great kill by the Federal Reserve system, so that little inconvenience has been felt by the Federal Reserve banks to rediscount bills and acceptances, and the extension of liberal credits and abundant currency based on government securities, have operated favorably for commercial en-

i terprises at home and added to the glory of American

financial prestige. The time has come, however, for measures of relief which cannot be afforded by the Federal Reserve bank, nor by the United States treasury, nor by Congress itself, unless the people of America throw into the balance the weight of their unselfish patriotism. The credit of the United States treasury, the credit of the entire banking and financial fabric, the credit of America as a nation depends primarily and immediately on the triumphant over-subscription of the Victory Liberty loan. This is evident to all men of financial and business experience, on a moment's reflection.

g7" BURLESON MAKES A DISCOVERY. Mr. Burleson, by grace of God and President Wilson, Postmaster General of these several United States, is rapidly nearing the end of his tether. Burleson, the most insufferable dictator the United States has ever known, has absolutely defied public opinion in the shape of the press for these several years. He would have the people believe that the newspapers and the magazines are an organized band of thieves determined upon the loot of the postal treasury, while he is the sole and lonelydefender of the public rights. lie has penalized the

. NO FEAR OF THE VERDICT. Mr. Bryan says that unless the present Senaie approves the league of nations it will be "a dominant is lie in the 1920 election." We had supposed that if th Senate rejected the league that would be the end of it. regardless of any future elections, but, however that may be, we have no fear of the verdict of the people on th? proposition. When they are apprised of the real purpose and effect of the league on American institutions and time-honored policies they will register an over-whelm ing vote against it if it is ever made an issue at the polls.

PLEASANT FOR BRAKEMEN. It is a sad day when there isn't some new- kind of trouble in the world. That tight skirts delay the trains by adding seventeen seconds to the average stop is the allegation contained in a complaint filed by the South Jersey Communters' Association with Charles Markham, Regional Railroad Director. The protest explains that this extra time concession is necessary to the female sex because the steps of the old Pullman cars used on the Trenton Division of the Penncylvania railroad are of a height from the station

reading public. While cracking the heads of the publishers, he has given the people the poorest mail service they have had since the department was organized. He has committed the unwarranted seizure of the wire, phone and cable lines after the war was rrud. and increased the rates. He capped the climax by refusing to transmit pre?s matter to certain newspapers, and later finding what a bull his department had made, rescinded the order. Burleson, while in office, has carried things with a high hand. He was the greatest enemy government ownership could possible have, swelled up with his im portance like a poisoned pup. j

TAINTED TESTIMONY. One of the first instructions given by a judge to a J'iry is that a witness found falte in one particular is to be looked upon with suspicion in all other particulars. This should be kept in mind in weighing the statements of proponents of the league of nations who have so di rectly contradicted themselves.

t and pulleys for fracture cases which has been widclv

imitated in the allied armies. The latest treatment of wounds, said the doctor, is away from violent antiseptics and based on the principle that well-nourished tissues can not only withstand but can eliminate infection. He states that he believes in the methods of the French ..'urgeon, Lemaitre. who simply cleansed the wound, removed all devitalized tissues and foreign matter and then closed it immediately without the use of an ant '--p'io.

ARE YOU ONE OF THE BIG MEN? The Victory Liberty loan organization in Crown Point recently -was amazed to hear the voice of a man who was considered one of the big men of the community, telephoning that he declined to work for the Victoryloan and ordered them to take his name off the list. No word of explanation was offered. It was just a peremptory order. Now, that man will never aeain be considered one of the big men of Crown Point. He has been stuck down t the very bottom of the list. Thre Is a black mark against his name. The real big men of Crown Point have ca?t him into outer darkness, and this may lead ome to ask us what we mean by a big man? Every township, village and city has a "leader" "the Big Man"- the man -who "thinks up jobs" to keep everybody busy, happy and earning money. He is the man -who organized the bank of the region, started the big factory, formed the "Emporium Store '

MADE HIM SEE RED. A wage-earner in the city of Washington, finding delays on congested street cars unendurable, and desiring to give his family some pleasure rides on warm evenings, bought a cheap second hand automobile. While th machine was standing in front of bis home it was damaged by a government automobile which collided with it. Repairs must he paid for in cash. A claim presented to tbe government department met the response that ther? were no funds available for payment of such claims. "Vet th head of the department had on other occasions exercised powers which he could justify only by very doubtful interpretations but by mans of which he expended thousands of dollars. If the owner of tho damaged automobile talks like a Bolshevist, who's to blame?

THERE is one thing that ought to make every man lend more gladly to the Victory loan. It was first announced that the loan would be six billion. The government discounted it twenty-five per cent, however. Suppose you would have had to buy a fourth more bonds than you are now asked to?

OCR own blessed Tom Marshall would send an army to Russia and exterminate the Bolsheviki. Why not exterminate them here first, Mr. Vice President, and how many boys would you send over?
