WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2J t, 1919. THE RIGHT WAY. The Liberty Loan Committees fig ured up and carStully estimated the amount of each one's subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan. That loan was for $6,000,000,000. The Victory Liberty Loan with which we are now dealing is for only $4,500,000,000. or three-fourth as much as the Fourth Liberty Loan. The right way for everyone to da is not to wait for some solicitor to call on you to subscribe for your part#of this last government loan. You know that your subscription should be three fourths as large as your subscription to the fourth Liberty Loan. Go to your bank subscribe for that sum and you will be doing the. right thing in the right way. Don't be numbered among the pikers. THE PEACE TERMS. While the peace terms have not yet been officially announced, it can be stated with a reasonable degree of certainty that a complete under standing has been arrived at on all questions affecting Germany. It can also be said, that the terms to be im posed upon Germany will be stern and just but not vindictive. Germany will be helped to develop the com forts and arts of peace, but positiv ely prohibited from preparing far war, or maintaining a war armament. While the peace terms will burden Germany with an enormous debt, they will, on the other hand, relieve that country from the expense of main taining a vast army and navy, Ger many's losses of men in the great war were but little more tha% $£0 Jui^aifepr of men that country kept in. its stand ing army and large navy before the war and, when that fact is taken Into consideration, it will be seen that the number of Germany's wealth producers are as numerous as they a»er were. These wealth producers will have to go to work .and earn enough money to pay the damages wrought by their army and navy upon their neighbors. By the time the debt Is paid, it is fair to assume that the German people will wishthafcjtfeey never had a great, army $114 navy, and will -never again have any de sire for a return of 'the conditions which es&ted before the v^ar. TRCTHFUL Secretary of the Treasury Glass in dulges in no oratory in his appeals to the American people to buy Victory Liberty Loan bonds. Here are a few of his commendable statements: "The "fighting is over, brought to an early conclusion' largely by the wonderful achievements of the Ameri can soldier. "The cost of his training, equipment, and maintenance has not yet been ful ly met, nor has the coBt of that huge provision of war material which had so much to do with weakening the enemy's will to resist. "The Victory Liberty Loan provides the money to pay for material which helped to stop the war and thereby saved tens of thousands of American lives." LLOYD GEORGE VIGOROUSLY SUP PORTS PRESIDENT WILSON. Lloyd George in his great speech in the House of Commons last week said. "Nobody could have treated more sympathetically the peculiar problems and special susceptibilities of Europe than President Wilson. An swering the charge which orignated in the United States that the work of framing the peace treaty had been de layed by the discussion of the League of Nations, the Prime Minister insist ed that the league "instead of wast ing time saved time" by providing machinery that could readjust and cor rect possible mistakes." The B6lshevlkl are unable to make any head way in France, largely be cause nearly every family in that country owns a part of the govern ment indebtedness, and is financially interested in its maintenance. For a similar reason the American people should insist upon owning the bonds their country is obliged to issue. Government bonds in the hands of the masses promote national unity. The French and Italian Junkers and the English and American Tories are "screaming through the keyhole" at the members of the peace conference. These screamers are more interested in discrediting, Wilson, Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Orlando than they are in the future peace of the world. MRS. HEARST. Mrs. Phoebe Apperson Hearst, sur viving spouse of United States Senator George Hearst, is dead. She shared with her husband the hardships and privations of pioneer life in the fa west, and helped him to acquire the many millions of dollars which she i»g administered since his death with good judgment and a humane spirit. She is survived by her only child, William R. Hearst, America's fore most publisher. Mrs. Hearst has ,given millions for the promotion of education and art, and the betterment of human condi tions. During her funeral services, which were held a few days ago in San Francisco, the business houses of that city closed, the courts adjourned, and bad she been the first citizen of the country greater honors could not have been shown than those accorded to her by the people of California. TO IOWA'S SOLDIER DEAD. They went four thousand miles and died, To keep the "Wild Beast" from our home, And long this side of the rolling tide, Their loving mothers moan alone. NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL! The National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, recommenas that the day on which President Wil son issues the peace proclamation be declared a national holiday. Now there are only two, but soon there will be three all-important events in the history of the world. When God said let there be light and there was light, that was the first of these all-important events. When tfte Savior of Mankind was born in a stable in Bethleham, that was the second of these all-important events. When the peace treaty, with its League of Nations covenant is sign ed, that will be the third all-impor tant event in world history. This third all-important event, de signed to prevent future wars, will probably lead to the establishment of a world wide holiday, similar to our Christmas holiday which is every where observed in commemoration of the second all-important world event. The war was a world war, and the holiday commemorating its termina tion and covenanting against the recur rence of a similar calamity, should be a world holiday. The anniversary of the day on which the treaty is signed by the rep resentatives of the nations would be a very appropriate date. SENATOR CUMMINS POINTS THE WAY. (From the New York World.) Senator Cummmins of Iowa has an nounced in a public address that if the published reports of the amendments made in the Constitution of the League of Nations are correct he will vote for the covenant. As Senator Cutamins was one of the original signers of the round robin, his statement marks the beginning of the disintegration of that celebrated coalition. It has long been apparent that the signers of the round robin were not united by a common motive. Some of them, like Senator Borah and Senator Poindexter, were unqualifiedly oppos ed to any League of Nations. From their point of view one kind of a league would be as bad as another Then there were Senators like Mr. Lodge and Mr. Knox who were not irrevocably committed against a league but purposed-to model it themselves after the treaty reached the United ftmten'Senate." States 'Senate. 'There~were~otKer wished to defer filial judgment until the trend of public opinion was dUr closed, and some who,, while they fa vored any reasonable league, believed that the President had. slighted the Senate and deserved rebuke. Public discussion during the last six weeks has shjjwn that the country is overwhelmingly in favor of the league, and the amendments made ln_ Pari® and the amendments1 m*w in r«op* Fire^op ArperJcan parent good faith. Whether the Con stitution oi the league is the better for all these changes is a matter of divided opinion. The Irreconcilable Tories, whether British or American, have not been placated, but the changes have made it impossible to rally a third of the Senators against the treaty. LETTING THE BANKS 1JAKE THE LOAtf. (From the New York World.) Ever since the Victory Loan was first projected many men have been running about proclaiming with an easy knowledge of finality that "the banks must take it the people can not or will not. Addressing himself particularly to this sapient conclusion, Secretary Carter Glass the other night, in his speech to the loan workers of New York, ventured to point out that by as much as the people rely upon the banks to take the loan, by so much the ability of the banks to meet the demands of current trade and indus try would be impaired. This is of course the fact, and it needs no elaboration except to those so muddled mentally that they can see no relation between the banks and the moving wheels of commerce and employment, and they are beyond hope of enlightenment. The man who refuses to subscribe for the loan in the idea of letting the banks look af ter it is a man who is trying to up set his own sources of work and de stroy his owns means of livelihood. The banks cannot tie up their loan able funds in these four-year notes of the Government and have those funds to lend in ordinary course to business. It will be just a case with that man of cutting oft his nose to spite his face. The banks simply cannot take the loan and carry it for long. If the American people compel the banks to do this, it will bring all industry crashing down about their heads. But the American people have no such intention: They are going to take the loan and for even loftier reasons than their own industrial preservation New Rendering of Old Song. A young lady at a New Year's party was asked to sing. She complied, and this is what her audience made out of the song: "Mid playsure sand pal aces, tho' honni a roame, be it averse oh wum bull, there snow play sly comb!" Up-to-Date Objection. Billy was the owner of a toy auto mobile, with which he played a great deal. One morning his mother was busy and couldn't dress him when he awakened, so she put him in his hijrh chair and was about to place him up to the table when he said, "Oh, mamma, I don't want to be parked here."
