Liberty is cheap at ANY cost. Buyalibertybond. The Dallas New Era certainly is a live, newsy, clean and up-to-date newspaper. Cotton mattresses at 27% cents “per” ought to make a most com fortable place to slumber. The Government cannot insure your safety without men and mon ey. Buy a Liberty Loan Bond. With the liberty of the country threatened, this is not a time for internal quarrels. —Dallas New Era. . If you were asked to name the livest merchants in town, would you name those who advertise or those who don’t ? The Government does not see fit to use paid advertising to sell Liberty Bonds, but that is no rea son why ail who can, should not buy them. What is the matter with some of the American people? Is it the almighty dollar they have in mind instead of the welfare and safety of the country? Have you ever sold a dollar’s worth of anything to a mail order house? No, but your home mer chant trades at home. We should all do likewise. It is hard to give up a relative on the battlefields of France but that is far better than waiting here to see your wnoie family subject ed to the ravages of German bru tality. The Atlanta Georgian says “Senator Hardwick is Entitled to Fair Play in Georgia and Should Receive It.” Yes, well you know Turn About is fair play and we hope he will receive it good and strong. Co-operation is a great thing and we appreciate your help, but money has an earning, power all by itself. —D dlas New Era. We agree with you, which, by the way, reminds us to announce that subscriptions paid for now will be duly appreciated. Most of us have heard it said that if a vote were taken by the people, they would vote over whelmingly against war. This as sertion has no foundation, judging by the way Wisconsin’s represen tative citizens adopted resolutions requesting their treasonable Sen ator, LaFollette, to resign and in case he refused, that he be ex pelled by the Senate. These citi zens voted 300 to 1 in favor of the resolution. In this we believe Wisconsin has voiced the senti ment of the American people. The Old Senator’s Argu ment. Patiently the senator sat through the session. The committee from his home state laid facts and fig ures before him, and their ablest orators represented to him the folly of his attitude in voting for prohibition. It meant, they said, the ruination of business, the up setting of all political plans, the disruption of his party, and death to his personal ambitions. Then, when they were all through, he arose and said: “What you have brought to my attention is very cogent and con vincing. But there is no use de ceiving you, nor of allowing you to entertain any hope whatever that I will change my position. “Bear with me, my friends, and I will tell you the why. “I am an old man, I haye not very long to live, by any rule of expectancy. I must answer you as I expect to answer at the judg- ment seat of God. “I had a boy, an only son. He was the pride and hope of my life, and of his mother’s. Some of you knew him. He was a promising young lawyer. He got to drinking. He was one of those who don’t know how to drink. I suppose he was weak. “That boy died drunk. Before he died he broke his mother’s heart. She gasped her life away in my arms. “He had a beautiful wife and child. In a drunken mania he killed them both and then shot himself. “You see me here alone, a strick en, lonely old man. Every hope of joy and peace I had has been swept away by alcohol. “I may be narrow. I may be called a fanatic. Perhaps I am. I “know the value of personal liberty. 1 know you can’t legis- j late men into being good. I know that there’s a deal of Pharisaism ' and intolerance among profession al prohibitionists. I know. They have stabbed me more than once. “And I know - there’s a great deal of money tied up in the liquor business. And that many liquor | dealers are honest, descent people. Some of them have been my stanchest friends and supporters. “You haven’t made a point in the argument that 1 haven’t made myself, in any time. “But —condemn me if you will, retire me to private life when my term is over if you so desire —but when I think of this question I see only >ay child with that hole in his temp; % stiff and stark before me, and t;ie wife of my youth in her coffin, ana uiuac uihcr two inno cent human creatures done to death, and I can do but one thing. “I may be a narrow old man, but alcohol has hit me too hard, and by God! I’ll hit it every chance I get. “When you can get the citizens of Belgium to listen to arguments in favor of Germany, then come to me and talk about booze.” —Dr. Frank Crane, in Atlanta Journal Green’s August Flower Has been used for all ailments that are caused by a disordered disordered stomach and inactive liver, such as sick headache, con stipation, sour stomach, nervous indigestion, fermentation of food, palpitation of the heart caused by gases in the stomach.
