Our young men hare gone out to the call of patriotism. They gave' up all thfet was near and dear to them, either personally or in a business way. They went for one dollar per day, when they could have remained at home ari made from four to eight times as much. Their portion is un-comfortable barracks, deep, dark and muddy trenches, and air filled with the missies of death. They have no guarantee of ever returning to their homes or loved ones Life is sweet to them, home is dear to them. Loved ones are everything to them. And yet it is but for them to do and obey. Thty have no promise that they will come home with sound body or limb rr eyesight. They know that there is nothing so probable for them as death by being blown to pieces, .or pierced in som vital spot by the bullet of a machine gm. Once in the service Ihey have no option but to obey; no matter how other soldiers are given an "easier time" than they. On the other hand: We bond buyers seem to want to do about as w e please. We go up to headquarters on bond ' buying day, not that we like to do so, but because we have a subtle fear J that we may be criticised and called I a "slacker" if we do not Once there we seem to want to do as little as j we can. Our "assessment" figure, I based upon our wealth, is given us. j We forthwith commence to kick. We I squirm, finesse and "beef at the al-- ! lotment. We fuss and fume, com-- l plain at the "burden," we grouch, snarl and bellyache. We have been j discriminated against, and are being I asked for more than "our share" ac ! cord ng to our "wealth." We have I hogs to feed, cattle to fatten, horses to keep, and it "takes money." W j havo everything on the green earth but the patriotic spirit of the trench I es whare the bovs are defending us 000 is doubly and then rome more able to buy $2000 in bonds than the man, with only his wages to rely on, is able to buy f 50. The farmer worth $300,000 is asked to buy $6000 in bonds. If we were worth $'J00,0O0 we would say that the matter of buying a $6000 bond was a mere bagatelle and yet! Men worth $300,000 all over Iowa have looked at that $6000 ouy as though it were a Hindenburg line and he had to take it alone with a corn knife! In the name of heaven, why do we find such a spirit? The writer cannot un-derstand it It is a "fourth dimen-sion" problem to us, and the only ex-planation we can give is that the more a man gets, the more grasping and avaricious he is. iMout of such men give to their church about on' the same basis, and how they can face their God, with all the gifts He has given them, and act that way, is an j anomaly to us. If you question one of these fellows he Invariably says that "it costs a lot, and takes a lot of money, to finance big interests like mine!" For an excuse wouldn't that frost you, especially when you see a working man with not a thing be-tween himself and absolute want, ex-t- t pt the labor of his hands, and will-.- e to support his country with from ?r0 to $500 in bonds. Does the man ' --th "big interests to finance" know hat the laboring man would do if sickness would lay him low, his in-come cut off thereby, and wife and children to feed? We have noticed that wives and children of laboring men like to eat and have warm cloth-ing almost as well as the family of the man with $300,000. When we consider the boy who goes to France, with no promise so sure as that he will leave his body under the sod there, and then consld- - er our little part in bond buying, even , if it does 'Vramp' us somewhat, or , cause us financial inconvenience, it , looks dern small to quibble over a bond purchase. But all' do not do that. A local , widow lady presented herself to the board recently and asked for her al- - , lotment. She is a woman who draws a small pension, but works to heip to make "ends meet." She was asked for $50. She took $500. A prominent retired farmer in the northwest part of town was told his assessment was $1500. He says, "Give me $2500." And he has big chunks of former bond is-sues at that. One of Jefferson's local i business men he has a small stock at that was asked to take $100 and he took $1000. (Either of the three mentioned could have loaned the ex-tra dollars at eight per cent on good safe security, but they considered first the demands of their country. Patriots, we call 'em. A stranger appeared at the court house recently, and hesitatingly ap-proached one of the tables. John Bell greeted him, and asked what they could do to serve him. He gave his name in broken Teutonic as Schlbarz. Hie said he was a laborer upon a ditch in the country. Mr. Bell did not know how to rate him and asked if he wanted a $50 bond. The man said he believed he would take $200. Mr. Bell, said, "I want to compliment you on your desire to help crush that bunch of rapers and women murder-ers of Berlin, and for your patriotism to your adopted country." Schibars replied, "Gimme $300--" tHe laid down the coin of the realm and went hia way, and be has been in America only four years! Yes, America will live, for we are not all tightwads. The spirit of Schl-bar- z is in the land, and, from now on it will be as "catching" as Spanish Some men have not yet graps-e- d the handle of real patriotism, and never will. They will shuffle off some day and we will respectfully at-tend their burial, take off our hats and stand at attention. Then we will leave the acre of the dead, start home, and ride silently for a little while. Later on we will heave a sigh stretch ourselves and "come back to life." Then we'll say In a low voice, ''What will the devil do with him, anyway T" The above Is taken from The Jef-ferson Bee, of Jefefrson City, Iowa, but is worth reproducing here. The facts will apply in Utah just as well as in Iowa: against a German indemnity that would break our backs. Our platform 2 is "Let George Do It!" 'We wonder sometimes if a democ-- racy can ever live with such a popu- - lace. And still there always crops out enough patriotic people In the " bond buying line to save the day for 0 Uncle Sam. You have seen this kind, 5 and so have we. They are prlncipal-- ly those with little or no property, or comparatively speaking, of small pos- - 1 sessions. The writer has looked over the list 5 of four Liberty Loan issues in the county , The men with the greater B values in property are the men who 5 have done the least This, to us, seems to be a most peculiar thing. Men with 5 no possessions, and with only wages M to pay their living as they go, have H bought $60 to $500 In bonds. Local men wc know of who have posses-B sions valued at about $5000 have ten (I per cent or more of it in bonds. As M the scale of wealth has Increased, B the ratio of ownership of bonds has 5 decreased. Men worth from $50,000 M on up are the men who have done the B "beefing." We do not say that all R have, for there are exceptions, as j there are to every good rule. But we do say that the chief trouble encoun-tered last Saturday by soliciting boards has been with the men of larg-- - er possessions. There is a homely, but rather pro- - fane, saying, "so live that you can look every man in the face and tell S him to go to hell." A lot of fellows with a "hatful of money" seem to JJ think they are able to do this stunt to perfection. The man of small JJ means cannot do it, for, at some time 5 in the game, he gets "pinched" if he M tries it. (But the man well fortified Jj with money and acres is able to put M it across, even to the Liberty Bond J solicitor. It is strange, strange, strange. g The county comm'ttee on the Lib-2-J erty Loan asked for subscriptions of H 2 per cent of the wealth of each indl-2- 2 vidual. The mnn with only $5000 in 5 property took his $100 bond without a whimper. The man with $50,000, 2J comparatively spoakfng, Is far more able to handle a thousand dollar bond g than the $5000 man is able to handle H the $100 bond.
