If lie had to pay the price of So great was the demand for sacrificing the morality of every man, Henry Watterson's editorial on the' womai1 cnlld tn Germany he DON'T EXPECT THE CHILDREN TO DO IT ALL. j Owing no doubt to the good work of 'those hustling, keen young boys and girls who have so generously given of their time and their pennies to the thrift campaign, the impres sion has been created in the minds of many that War Savings Stamps art for children only. Let us stop to consider the matter for a moment. The Congress authorized an issue of $2,000,000,000 W. S. S. to be sold In 1918. The purpose of the Stamps was twofold: (1) To get money for the Government for war needs; (2) to instill the habit of thrift in the American people and by the practice of thrift save labor and materials for the Government. Can we expect the children, splen did workers that they are, to account for $2,000,000,000 of Stamps? Do we consider that the children alone of all our population need to be inculcated with the thrift idea? Are they the only spendthrifts? Ceratinly not. War Savings Stamps are for every one. No one, be he a millionaire or be he the humblest laborer, can say truthfully that he is not interested in W. S. S. and the saving program that they stand for. There are, indeed, few men and women in the land unable to save and economize more than they do now. If they want to be listed am ong the patriotic people of the land they must save and economize more than they do now. Tie winning of the war with the least possible sac rifice demands this, for there are not enough labor and materials for the Government's war needs and for the use of the spendthrifts. Cut those useless expenditures. All of us have them. Remember that our boys in the Army and Navy do not expect luxuries and do not get all the comforts that they are supposed to get. On or before, June 28 show the children that you, too, are enlisted in the War Savings Army. How a man without a tooth in his head bit himself in an unusual man ner during the excitement following the torpedoing of the steamship Or onsa was related in a report just re reived from London concerning the conduct of the fifty-seven Y. M. C. A. workers who were on board. The Oronsa was sunk while approaching the British Isles. A Y. M. C. A. sec retary was washing his full set of 'store teeth" when tne torpedo hit. n went to his room for his grip, -rpnned into a life-boat, manned an'erman generals and gravely con oar and after rowing a few minutes, 1 ue,,",H ll,e pps' 10 legmiws uig felt that his hand was hurting.

All Christian religion as the only thing that can save civilization, printed in the fiftieth anniversary number of the Louisville Courier-Journal, that It was reproduced in a recent issue. In that editorial Watterson remarked: "Democracy is but a, side issue. The paramount issue, underlying the is sue of democracy, is the religion of Christ and him crucified the bed rock of civilization, the source and resource of all that is worth having in the world that is, that gives prom ise in the world to come; not as an abstraction, not as a huddle of sects and factions, but as a mighty force and principle of being. If the world is to be saved from destruction, it will be saved alone by the Christ ian religion." Bishop Candler! Georgia has com mented on Watterson's utterance as follows: "Mr. Watterson is right. Democracy cannot be safe in the world unless it be inspired and con trolled by the highest morality and the deepest spirituality. We hear much of the democratizing of the world. In truth the cry for the de mocratization of everything is be ginning to be tiresome. It is the cant of agitators and demagogues in every department of society. Some would democratize the kingdom of heaven, elect a half-divine president and re vise by a vote of a majority the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. Multitudes of persons can not speak on any public occa sion without the 'democratization' of somehing. 4s it not just possible that many men have become obses sed with the superstitious notion that democracy is the sovereign remedy for all the ills that the human race is heir to? The truth is that in the absence of intelligence and virtue among the people a democracy is the least efficient and most dangerous form of government. While we ellng to our democratic institutions, let us keep constantly in mind the fact which Mr. Watterson has so clearly pointed out that the para mount issue underlying the issue of democracy is the religion of Christ." Bishop Candler expresses in con clusion in his comment the judgment that a godless industrialism is the thing which today most menaces the United States. The Pacific. 5-5 ('ORKl'PTING GERMAN MORALS. From an authoritative German source we have a statement quite at variance with the boast of the kaiser, frequently heard of late, of the piety and high morality of the German peo ple. The Protestana Krenz Zeituog, of Berlin, publishing the quarterly Church Review, declares that the task of the church has become im measurably harder "because of the utter lack of discipline and religious feeling among the people. Our youth, with their easily gotten money In their pockets, swollen with sinful pride are entirely contemptuous of constraint and contlngence." The Review continues: "Confusion reigns in numbers of the administrative gov ernment departments as to what is right and what fs wrong." It la ments the lack of morality among would not hesitate to make them pay the price. Ever since the beginning of the war he has sacrificed truth and honesty, the basis of human charac ter. He is absoluely concienceless. He believes that In partnership with his fiendish god he can shape the mor als of the world according to his stan dard. He wants world power. Al ready he has caused the killing of 3, 000,000 of his own people, and he is willing to sacrifice as many more in ; order to be the supreme ruler of the earth. What cares he for the Protes tant churches and all other churches? This new indictment made public in the German capital will not affect him in the least. In his view it is not wrong to corrupt the morals of all Germans who shall survive his vain struggle for world dominion. Portland Telegram. Some one has said: "If one of our boys hesitated as long la going over the top aB some people do in buying Liberty bonds or War Savings Stamps, be would be court-martialed and shot for cowardice. And If the same punishment were meted out to nonoombatants for financial coward ice an awful lot of people would.be shot at dawn." 1-1 .

S. for a quick victory. 1-1 , Remember that the soldier's chance of life depends upon the support giv en him by the folks at home. Help! Save and buy War Savings Stamps. War Savings Stamps are within the reach of everyone who concientiously wants to save. J-S Pro-Germans probably think the War Savings Campaign a foolish one LKT THERE BE NO MERCY FOR SUCH RASCALITY. Disclosures at Washington make It plain that the government is the vic--im of gigantic corruption In the let ins of army contracts. As the Asso rted Press epitomizes the revela tions, "the shadow of complicity In extensive scheme of compilc-iiy 1, uisssion agents made millions out ol .overnment war orders by acting at. niddleraen in obtaining contracts foi aanufacturers today extended ti .cores of business men and attorneys n Washington, New York, Boston aid other cities, and even to a few secretaries of members of congress." One reserve army officer, Lieuten ant James C. Staley, has confessed the taking of a bribe for the exercisa of his Influence, and fears are ex pressed that others have been equal ly guilty. It will be difficult, under existing laws, to find a punishment to lit the crime. Military law shoots young soldiers who fall asleep on sentry duty, bnt the crime of coriKipt profit eering, fraught with even graver con sequences to the nation's welfare, can only be punished by imprisonment in civilian cases.

Clarence Rice came in from his Monument ranch last evening, being able to get about by the use of crut ches. While driving a team along a piece of sidling road on Tuesday of last week, the wagon turned over, taking with it the team of heavy hor ses attached. Mr. Rice was riding one of the mares and attempted to jump out of the way but was not quick enough and the two animals rolled over him. Clarence got out of the mlxup with a dislocation of the left leg at the knee and some minor braises. Mr. Rlcs says that he had often been told that to have one horse fall on a man would kill him but he came out alive after two had rolled over him, and his bad knee is the most he has to suffer as a conse quence. He expects to be some time recovering from this Injury, however and may have a weak leg for many months. 7fie Gasoline ofQualitf Red Crown is a straight-distilled, all refinery gasoline, not a mixture.
