But you can get the money j mn-d it is better to buy a bond and letj the government owe you than to payj additional taxes. It is the best and I easiest way for us to fight this war. Besides it is a good and safe invest ment. You manv ioin the liberty loan club of the Commercial Bank and make a good investment, and at the same time help to do your part in the war. There is no doubt about the bonds being sold, but the government wants every man and woman and child to own a bond and thus show his or her patriotism and willingness to do the part of a good citizen. A campaign is going to be put on this week to sell the share of these bonds that is Newberry's part. Think about it and be ready to take your sbare when the committee calls on you. There is no use to argue the rea-| ?on why. We are in this war, and] it is ours now to do our part in the "easiest and best way we can. The; best and easiest way and at this time i the most pressing need is for money j for the allies and the sooner we get it to them the sooner will they he able to do that which will bring the irar to a close. Buy a liberty loan bond, and buy it -today. Tomorrow may be too late.. We should not be surprised if some Congressman does not propose, as a "war measure, that all newspapers be suppressed. There .is no telling what some of these thoughtless fellows may do.?Greenwood Journal. No, couldn't do that, you know, be cause that'would be a sepcies of Prus sian autocracy. And that is the thing i?e are in this war to put down and "Wipe from the face of the earth. But you must just think what President, Wilson and the war council and the authorities think, and if you do notj i?ppen to so think, tnen you must: keep your mouth shut and suppress; your thoughts, it is true, tnai me, constitution which our fathers fought! to establish when we came from un-! der the British yoke was something l about the freedom of the press and > -the right of free speech, but?what J vas it some one said about the con-; etitution? i It seems to us that it would be a j erave mistake to keep the people from j knowing the facts, and a worse mis- j take to color the facts to suit one j eide. In other words, the American j i people are not all children and can, stand to hear the truth and the whole truth. In other words again if our boy is to be taken to the trenches we would like to know when he is go ing and when he goes, and we mean by that all the boys who are to go. O, no, these boys up there in Wash ington and the president and the war council are not going to suppress the newspapers. They are going to give them a rather hard road to travel, but they are going to permit them to go \on for a while yet any way. ? President Wilson and the Russian people are right.
