vr- THE GARDEN ISLAND. TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1913 THE GARDEN ISLAND Issued Every Tuesday E. CHEST EH ROBERTS KENNETH C. IIOITER EDITOR Managing Editor TUESDAY AUG. 20 JOHN BARLEYCORN LEAVES Midnight tonight marks the hour that old King John Barleycorn will make ht3 exit from tho Territory, to take a vacation for the period of the balance of tho war, and It Is to be hoped for all time. The sale of liquor was supposed stopped on July 1st on Kauai, but In some unforseen manner the. sale of beer was made possible and this has continued from that date until tonight midnight, When the Islands become bone dry as far as the sale of any kind of Intoxicating liquors are con serncd, except those that are used as for mechanical, scientific, sacramental or for medicinal purposes. This bonedryism means that our little group of islands will be more prosperous than ever before, that our people will have more money than they have had previously, and that the citizens of this section of our great country will make all the better cit izens, now that they have gotten rid of the serpent that they have been nursing in their bosom. It means that the ones who used to come home on payday night with but a portion of the money that received for their labor in their pockets, will now come home with all of it and that these same households will have the things that they need, instead of a few bottles of booze. THE FLAG Whun you hunt; out the colors spare a minute to think of it of the places it has been, of tho things that It means. The eyes of an unhappy world are watching your flag with steadfast faith that a lonesome seaman reser ves for his star. It has given new hope to the proud and to the poor everywhere in this world. It Is the symbol and the achievement of the two noblest human attributes strength and compassion. It springs from the enduring good that there Is in the heart of humanity. It stands for the liberation of all men. And it can never fail, It can never be humbled, because that motive lies deep in every human consciousness, as permanent, as sure, as inevitable as tears or laughter or hope or faith In God. Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger. :0: DO NOT BORROW TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS. The Federal Reserve Bulletin says that one of the most encouraging and gratifying features of the Third Lib erty Loan was that apparently there has been little use of bank accomoda tions for the purchase of the bonds. It estimates that probably more than 80 per cent of the bonds aro already fully paid for. The financial statements of the va rious Federal reserve banks indicate, according to the Bulletin, that not much borrowing from the banks was done by the subscribers to the third loan. They either paid cash or bought on the installment plan. This eases a great deal the burden of the banks, upon whose shoulders rests the financing of the business and industry of the country. THE PRESIDENT ON MOB SPIRIT. "I have called upon the Nation to put its great energy into this war and it has responded responded with a spirit and genius for action that has thrilled the world. I now call upon it, upon its men and women every where, to see to it that its laws are kept inviolate, its fame untarnished. "I can never accept any man as a champion of liberty either for our selves or for the world who does not reverence ami obey the laws of our own beloved kind, whose laws we our selves have made. He has adopted the standards of the enemy of his country, whom lie affects to despise." - l'residi-nt Wilson. Allotments Allotments to dependmt-nts of I'ni ted States .soldiers h;ive been increas ed from lll.Oitii at the beginning of the war to Hoii.diio. For the month of May these allotments totaled $5,0011 ooo. Thirty thousand comniisioncd oflicers ail; allot ing $l.ooo,ooo a month to their families; noncommissioned of ficers and privates, $ l.ooo.oeo. In addition nearly $."o.ooo,ooo of Liberty Loan bonds of the second Lib erty loan will have been paid for by members of the Army and will be turned over to the purchasers during this month of August, the payments having been made for that purpose AMERICAN AND GERMAN FINANCES. In view of the fact that there have been several wild stories being circu lated among the plantation laborers that there is niruse of buying War Savings Stamps as they will be worth less after the war, and that we will never be able to cash in our Govern ment securities, at par value, it would be a wise thing for the people who are doing the circulating of these stories as well as those who are buying the Government securities to read the following report from the Treasury Department in regards to our finances as compared to those of Germany, and then they can decide for themselves as to whether our Government has the cash and will be able to pay off this indebtednes or not The total resources of the United states are estimated at about $250. 000,000,000; our annual earnings are estimated at about $50,000,000,000, Our national debt, including the third liberty loan, may be put around $12, 000,000,000. Before the war our Government was spending about $1,000,000,000 a year. When the war is ended, Interest charges, less the interest collected from our loans to our allies. Govern ment insurance expenses, and other necessary expenditures growing out of tho war may be conseratively be esti mated at something like $1,000,000,000. We are confronted, therefore, when peace comes, with raising only a couple of billions a year revenue, a slight task for a Nation of such tremendous wealth, capacity, and resources. The resources of Germany before the war were estimated to be $80,000,000 000. The annual expenditures then of the Imperial Government were about $800,000,000. Her debt now is $30,000 000,000, and her resources and man power have been severely impaired. After the war she is confronted with additional expenditures growing out of the war totaling some $4,000,000,000. Tho interest of her war debt, even if the debt grows no larger, will be about $1,500,000,000. Although she is niggardly in her pensions to private soldiers and their families, $1,000,000 000 a year would hardly suffice to pay even small pensions to her injured and the families of her soldiers who have been killed. Her war debt must be paid sometime and a sinking fund of 5 per cent would add $1,500,000,000 to her annual taxation. Here is a total increase of $4,000,000,000 all due to the war. Of course both the United States and Germany may greatly increase their debts, but the increases will not change the relative statements. The German Government has drain ed the German people of their gold, even their jewls and heirlooms, and yet the Imperial Bank of Germany now has but little over $500,000,000 of gold in its vaults. The United States ka3 made no special effort to obtain gold, has made no call upon the peo ple for the precious metal, and yet to day has in its Treasury vaults prac tically $2,500,000,000 of gold coin and bullion. 1 Golf vs. Gardening There was once was a man and this was long -before there was war or rumors of war who had belonged to a small town golf club where his daily game had become first habit and then necessity. This man moved to a city where the golf dues were prohib itive to one of his moderate salary. For a few weeks in early Spring he practiced in his own back yard with mldiron or putter, or stood poised over an imaginary ball and waved hla arms in mid air in a vain effort to keep vp his driving form. One day his wife said to him: "Why don't you put that physical energy into a garden, Bob?" "Why not?" thought Bob scratching his head and surveying the possibili ties from out of the kitchen window. During all that summer, 6 p. m. found Bob with sleeves rolled up and hoe in hand. The dinner hour was pushed forward to seven thirty so that two good hours could be spent in the garden befpre that time. Gardening proved Just as good an appetizer as a game of golf and .much less expensive, besides furnishing the table with fresh vegetables all summer long and a surplus for canning. Such a substitution for golf or ten nis this summer should make a broad appeal when there is the added incen tive of patriotic duty. Interest in sports has changed even as have other things, nothing is "as usual." There will be less golf and tennis and more hoeing this summer. Instead of turning straight to the sporting page of the paper the mas culine world will belook first to see what the infernal boches are doing to the Western Front and then to see that the weather report indicates and how that applies to crop conditions. For the women, interest in the fash ion sheet has lagged. There is first the casualty list to scan, a thing read with dread and yet which cannot be passed unread. Then there is the col umn on home canning for her war garden is so promising that she is sure there will be much to be put up for the winter's use.
