Of course He was working For the tip- Increasing bia Own salary As It were And he got It. All of which Is not at all Like the fellow Who thinks he Is worth more Money than he Gets and does No more Than, he Is paid for.

Hightfully obtained It marks the wearer as one who has performed a distinct, definite serrlce to the Country. Not all can tight, not all can work directly for the Government; but In buying a Liberty Loan Bond, or War parings Stamps, every American ren ders some service to the nation. It has been put within the reach and power of every citizen to aid the United States financially : It Is a noor American who withholds support from the Government, from our soldiers and sailors fronting death on battlefields and oceans. Iron crosses to German soldiers, and diamond nrrlarl affhinnail 'tween Turkish and German sovereigns may be but the honors of atrocity. But a Liberty Loan button, simple as It Is, signifies a patriotic duty done and is an Insignia of honor. - Our classified ads bring results. "PROTECT OUR SOLDIERS WITH LIBERTY BONDS" Message of United State Senator McNary to Peo ple of Oregon Money Is needed to support and protect our soldiery now fighting In a foreign land and the prompt pur ehaaa by the American people of Liberty Bonds will supply the funds. Much of the money here tofore obtained by the govsrnment through the sale of Liberty Bonds to Its oitliens has bean espended In ths preparation of war. Now our resources and our savings must be devoted to a considerable ex tent In providing for the SAfety, comfort snd assistance of our heroes on European battlslleld. Three thousand miles of ocean, In tervene and this long lane must be mad cafe for our soldiers. Ships we must have In ever Increasing numbers. Without tonnage the full measure of eur elaborate and mili tary relief organisation must re main Inoperative, Without money w onnt build the ship; without the snip w oannot win th war. With sadnes w antlolpat th re turn of thousands of eur soldier wounded snd crippled wh must be rehabilitated or mad capable through vocational education for ash? support General hospital In whloh physical reconstruction work and vocational training can be un dertaken must be constructed. This require money. A great army I going forward to face th Are of battle snd American dollar will be fortheomlnn for their wel fare If we all perform eur duty and buy liberally of these Liberty Bonds. CHAS.

Why We Are at War With Germany Democracy VersusJAulocracji It Is commonly said that this war Is one In which America was forced to take purt In order to "make the world safe for democracy." What does the phrase, tnwin? The theories and arts of the Ger man military autocracy definitely deny the right of the people of a slate to rule themselves. The German people. In spite of forms of government that make a pretense of popular control, have no such actual control over their governor as exists In d iiiocrtitleully organized nations. In those natlona the governors can be removed by a vote of the people In a general elec tion; In Germany the people have not this power. The arletoerary of Germany under stand this difference, snd are afraid of the spread of democracy In Ger many. The whole, much admired "effi ciency" of Germany Is primarily due . to a desperate and constant effort by Germany's rulers to divert the German people from thoughts of self govern ment, by offering them material pros perity. And the rulers have suc ceeded. One of, the causes of this war was the necessity, by still fur ther "glorious acquisitions of terri tory," to hush the murmuring of political discontent In Germany. Vic tory In war, every so often, Is a nec essity of the German system. "It la for social as much as for national and political reason that we must fix our minds Incessantly upon war." "Success Is necessary to gain Influ ence over the masses," wrote Bern hardt; and General Von Biasing, Just before his death, wrote a "Political Testament," since largely circulated In Germany, In which he argued for the retention of Belgium, became, unlet If .were annexed, th prutiga of tht military autocracy would receive a fatal blnto. Are we are the Allies then fight ing to impose upon Oermany a dif ferent system; Is that the meaning of "making the world safe for democ racy?" . Ellhu Root says that American democratic Ideals Include "liberty not for themselves alone but for all who are oppressed." Lloyd George assert that If all countries had been demo cratically organized, this war would not have taken place; that this war will determine not merely Interna tional Millions, hut will effect the lives of peoples within their furs na tions, for K"nei ut Ions to come; that this war la to end In "Internatlonnl democracy," I. e., In lllxrty, equal ity, mid fraternity, heftre nations, great and smiill. General Fmuts, for merly a soldier against Great Britain In South Africa, says that the essence of this war Is the question whether governments should be founded on military might or on "principles of equity, Justice, fairness and equality." Various writer have depicted this war as a tett of democracy, to de termine whether democracy can ad Just Itself to an emergency so that by sheer efficiency tt shall at least equal the efficiency of a military autocracy, aad assert that on this ground alone the future government of all the na tion of th world la at stake. Will Crook, the British labor leader, says this war "Is a people' war. We are all In It, the man at the village pump and In the fields, th blacksmith, the car penter and Jelner, the shipwright, and the man of leisure. We are standing together because tee ore fighting for liberty ." Yes, this war Is on In which Ideals of government, of Individual liberty, of civilization W'f are In conflict. Democracy Is lined up against autoc racy. The war Is In absolute fact a war ot Ideal. But we are not fight ing to impose our Ideal upon any nation. What we are fighting for. In "making the world safe for democ racy," Is to prevent a military autoc racy front impoiing itt authority and ill idealt upon ui. We are resoy to keep on minding our own hnslness and to let other nations do '.lie snrne. A military autocracy that propones to conquer the world must be de feated, to the point where It renounces meddling with other nations, great nr small, or there I no peace In the world. That 1 the Issue at stake, and ' in It rests our safety and tbe safety of the world.
