KEEP THE BAGS FULL!
By E. W. KEMBLE.
ONE MAN’S REASON WHY.
I have a son two years old. I want him to be a sportsman. I want
him to be able to win like a gentleman, to lose like a man. I want him
to grow up in a world where a victory gained by foul tactics is incom
prehensible. I want him to feel always that his word is sacred; that
no advantage to himself or others justifies the violation of his oath. I
want him to reverence the memory of his mother, to look upon a|J
women with clean eyes. I want him to grant, as a matter of fact, the
demands of weakness upon strength. I want him to look upon human
t beings as individuals, to accept cheerfully another's right to a belief
contrary to his own. I want him to gain his own beliefs through
searching his own soul, not by blindly accepting the dicta of others.
I want him to believe in a generous God, a God Who is a Gentleman,
not a demoniac God who plays favorites.
One judges a man by his professed beliefs, by his acknowledged
deeds. One judges a race in the same manner. By their professed
beliefs, by their acknowledged deeds, I Judge the Germans. Apd I
firmly believe that a world ruled by them would be a world in which it
would be impossible for my son to grow up to be the man I want
him to be.

WHAT THE VICTORY OR
DEFEAT OF GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN
(Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON
TERHUNE, author and globe-trotter,
tO'" the National Security League's
campaign of Patriotism Through Edu
cation.)
Germany’s victory would mean all
,that the alarmists have said —the set
back of humanity, democracy, civiliza
tion, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer
ica, it would mean infinitely more.
It would mean our first national de
feat; and, thus, would smash our per
fect record 1 for victories —a record as
old as our nation —a record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains its
old form —even as a beaten ring cham
pion sinks at once into desuetude —so
our nation (its ■ traditions of victory
gone) would suffer far worse deteriora
’tion than the mere fact of defeat could
inflict.
It would mean that the man who has
risked all in his country’s struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri
umph. Thus, the moral tone of the in
l dividual, as well as of the nation,
would inevitably be lowered.
* This country has never embarked in
a war of conquest. From 1775 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed—ever
for some sterling principle of right.
From childhood we have been taught
to believe that the high unselfishness
of our war aims has given us the vic
tory. We have seen the decay or de
struction of men and nations that have
battled for dominion —as Germany is
now battling. Should we fail in this,
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to its pres
ent estate. For that Faith, more than
1 for anything else, our sacrifice is a
hundredfold Justified.
Your Country Calls!
Awake, Americans!
Make this war your war.
Every man must prove
Right Is Might.
Jt means your liberty, if not your tife.

Attack everything un-American I
Tie Huns Abroad and
The Pacifists at Home
(Contributed by CASPAR WHIT
NEY, now at the front for the “N. Y.
Tribune,” to the National Security
League’s campaign of Patriotism
Through Education.)
Although Germany, while yet a
"friend,” intrigued against our peace
and order, urged Japan and Mexico to
make war on us, and murdered our
men, women and children, there are
those among us professing loyalty and
intelligence who practically say this Is
not our war and appear unable to real
ize that the defeat of the boche is as
vital to us Americans as was the vic
tory of 1778.
Then we declared for independence;
now we fight to maintain it.
It is not merely that we fight in
answer to indignity and material in
jury done us through attack on our
rights as a nation and on the lives
of our citizens —not merely to uphotd
our place among self-respecting peo
ples—that we are at war; but literally
for our self preservation as a republic.
To muzzle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up arms —that the
world shall be safe for the freemen of
the world.
The world cannot rest in peace while
Germany holds the destiny of other
peoples In her blood-dripping hands.
The world cannot live in peace with
a people that commits, or permits her
sponsors to commit In her name, the
foul acts of treachery, of vandalism,
of bestiality, of murder, that have
marked the trail of the German army
over Europe.
One doctrine or the other must pre
vail ; either the German brutal right of
might or the civilized might of right—
one or the other —must succumb in this
conflict to the death. And should It
be the German doctrine —then shall we
fall under the domination of a people
that have robbed and raped and looted
and burned and killed, that the
“kultur” of a military oligarchy shall
live.
Prusslanism is devoid of honor,
truth, Justice or mercy, as its own acts
have proved, and its defeat is a neces
sary first step for the peace of the
world and the freedom of civilisation.
For the safety of American institu
tions it must be destroyed; for the
safety of American freedom, yours and
mine and of all of us.
We are in the midst of war, our war,
the war of every freeman, of every
man and woman who does not indorse
cowardly murderous assault upon the
weak and innocent, brutal injustice,
and atrocious acts; and if we would
preserve the Stars and Stripes and all
they stand for we must fight the Hun*
abroad and the pacifists at home with
all our strength.

TO THOSE WHO
FAIL TO GRASP
WAR'SMEANING
By ELIHU ROOT,
Honorary President of the National
Security League.
There are doubtless some who do not
understand what this struggle really Is.
Some who were born here resent Inter
ference with their
B comfort and pros
fice, which seem to
them unnecessary,
and they see
which their fathers
in their turn must
ij* preservation of
Elihu Root. that independence
and liberty.
There are some born abroad who
have come to this land for a greater
freedom and broader opportunities and
have sought and received the privi
leges of American citizenship who are
swayed by dislike for some ally or by
the sympathies of German kinship and
fail to see that the time has come for
them to make good the obligations of
their sworn oaths of naturalization.
This is the oath that the applicant
for citizenship makes:
That he will support the Constitu
tion of the United States and that he
absolutely and entirely renounces all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign
prince, potentate or sovereignty; that
he will support and defend the Consti
tution and laws of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do
mestic, and bear true faith and alle
giance to the same.
“False to Their Oaths.”
All these naturalized citizens who
are taking part in obstruction to our
government In the conduct of the war
are false to their oaths, are forfeiting
their rights of citizenship, are repudi
ating their honorable obligations, are
requiting by evil the good that has
been done them in the generous and
unstinted hospitality with which the
people of the United States have wel
comed them to the liberty and the op
portunities of this free land. We must
believe that in many cases this is done
because of failure to understand what
this war really is.
This is a war of defense. It Is per
fectly described in the words of the
Constitution which established this na
tion, "To provide for the common de
fense” and “To secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”
The national defense demands not
merely force, hut intelligence. It re
quires foresight, consideration of the
policies and purposes of other nations,
understanding of the inevitable or
probable consequence of the acts of
other nations, judgment as to the time
when successful defense may be made,
and when it will be too late, and prompt
action before it is too late.
By entering this war the United
States availed Itself of the very last
opportunity to defend Itself.
Genuine Values
To achieve the reputation we are
striving for, it is not only necessa
ry to give the people the greatest
possible values insofar as the cloth
is concerned, but good workman
ship, authentic styles and abund
ant variety of patterns as well.
This we are doing, and every day
there are evidences which prove
to us that the public approves the
genuineness of our methods and
service.
Whatever your needs may he in the apparel line, whether
Suits, Hats or the various other articles of wear, you will
find that our stock measures up to the requirements of the
most exacting individual.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
MET AT AUGUSTA LAST WEEK
The 1918 State Sunday School con
vention, composed of all denominations
in Georgia, met at Augusta, last Tues
day Wednesday and Thursday. It was
the writer’s joy and privilege, along
with Mrs. W. H. Faust, Mr. and Mrs.
J. P. Williams, Mrs. Appleby and Mrs.
Roberts, to represent Winder.
The trip was taken in a Ford
through the country, the weather was
ideal, the roads splendid, the fellow
ship tip top. From Winder to Craw
ford the roads were splendid, from
Crawford to Thomson, the home of
Georgia's greatly discussed, and yet
much alive citizen. Thos. E. Watson.
From Thomson to Augusta a Ford rides
and drives like a Packard.
While in Augusta we enjoyed the
royal hospitality of Hon. and Mrs. W.
M. Howard at their beautiful home on
Walton Way. Col. Howard for nearly
a quarter of a century represented the
Eighth district in congress, and as con
gressman and host he did and does
rank Al. One readily realizes after a
visit to his home and close acquaintance
with his wife what a great inspiration
she has been to him in his public work.
Some 1000 delegates from all over the
state were present and homes had been
provided for a thousand more. Augus
ta is famed far and wide for its old
fashioned southern hospitality and the
guests found it living up to its far
reaching reputation. Each delegate
was dead sure that his was the best
home and his the most genial and af
fable host and hostess.
The city has a population of between
sixty-five and seventy thousand .Camp
Hancock with its 30,000 soldiers adds
much to the city. It lias bank deposits
of twelve milions, nine railroads, the
navagable river with port privileges,
its great hotels, its famous nurseries,
its ample school faciliteis, its great
manufacturing enterprises, the loyal
and public- spirited citizens, its ideal
climate and location, its past history
and present achievements with its
wonderful outlook for the future make
it an ideal city in every sense of the
word.
In 1012 Mr. D. W. Sims accepted the
work as state secretary. Two coun
ties were organized and in 1918 one
hundred and fifty-two counties were
organized and a convention held in ev
ery county.
The program was the finest ever
gotten up. The main session met in
the First Presbyterian church. De
partmental work was discussed in sim
ultaneous sessions in the First Meth
odist, First Christian and First Baptist
churches.
Among tlie prominent speakers on
the program from day to day were Dr
W. E. Chalmers, educational secretary
of tlie American Baptist Publication
Society. W. C. Pearce, superintendent
of the International Sunday School as
sociation, Peston J. Orwig, of Philadel
phia, Mrs. Maude Baldwin, of Chicago,
Prof. H. 11. Harris, of Emory Universi
ty, Dr. Joseph Broughton, of Atlanta,
and many others too numerous to men-
