TAFT It 1s difficult yet to value accurately or to some lnstaacee to perceive all the war has brought to our national life or pruned from tt. The things we think little now may appear to posterity the greatest. The Thrift Stamp idea seeips to be one of these. Originated as a war emergency meas ure. It has taken hold; has appealed to the common sense of America, and may yet shape the destiny of the nation. It to patent, now that the war is over, that the Thrift Stamp has come to stay, if we get nothing elee out of the war but the habit of saving, which begets the corollary simple living, we UlU have reaped the full fruit of the war. For a thrifty democracy Is a firm democracy, a potent democracy, a democracy strong enough to pre serve Itself. A man who saves Is a better cittoen than the man who does not save. He becomes a stockholder In his govern ment and he Is jealous for the wel fare of that government to war and In peace. In war he will fight for It with his life. In peace he will protect it from those who would tear down. As America saves from this day on so shall she grow in benign power and Oopyrlaht by Moffett Ex-Prealdent Taft, who presided In the eyes of mankind. "A bank ao- count for every American citlsen" over the Northwestern peace confer, should be one of our national slogans. enea held In Portland. The Thrift and War Savings Stamp Idea is freighted with a mighty change for the better in our national life. The Thrift Stamp Is. backed by the iTnlted States government. Without doubt It Is the greatest Investment ever offered and It Is in such a form that every American, b’.g and little, ewi take advantage o' IL Copenhagen. — The German govern ment on Sunday night accepted the Prevention Rather Than Cure. allied terms for the extension of the To cure Is as expensive as to pre armistice, according to a dispatch to vent, and prevention eliminates the the PolltlkSH from Weimar.
