Let Us Show the Whole World
What America Can Do When
Fully and Earnestly Aroused
| The present peace move of Germany and
ig Austria should have the undoubted effect of
| SPEEDING UP the Fourth Liberty Loan.
)i If the movement is insincere, the loan be
i comes MORE NECESSARY THAN EVER:
i if it IS sineere, this likely will be the last of
Il the big Liberty Loans and, therefore, YOUR
h FINAL CHANCE to ““‘kick in’’ on the Roll of
| Honor.
z The war is NOT yet nearly over; there is
ii & great deal to do, even though peace should
i be found to be unquestionably on the way.
i The wise an PATRIOTIC thing to do, in
i| the present circumstances, is to go in for the
| Fourth Loan even HEAVIER than yon in
| tended to or thought you eould.
| __YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WAS NEVER SO
E NECESSARY AS TODAY.
i i
¥ The American people have been doing one
? big thing after another ever since the United
| States entered the war. We have done big
| ger things in less time than any nation ever
| did. . )
Now let's do THE VERY BIGGEST
THING that ever was done in the history of
the world.
Let us not only break every record that
any people ever made, but let us make a
record that no people will ever approach.
The Government asks us to loan it six
thousand millions of dollars.
Let’s double it.
Let’s show the world what the people of
the United States ean do when they are thor
onghly aroused,
Six billiens is the greatest single loan that
i has ever been asked for by any Government
| in the history of the world. Tt is more than
| the total stock of money in actual cirenlation
‘ in the United States, but no American, nor
% anyone else familiar with the conntry and the
| patriotism of our people doubts that this
; huge sum ean be raised in a, singie loan to
| the Government, sinae lrans are always a
| matter of eredit. and tYe wealth of the coun
t try is at least EIGHTY TIMES SIX BIL-
I TLIONS,
% We have the greatest country in the world ;
i we have the most patriotic people in the
I world: we have the greatest and richest re
| sonrees in the world, and we are the most
: willing of hny people in the world to expend
i our resources to the utmost for an ideal
| Our Government expects us to subsecribe
f to six billions of Liberty Bonds. Let us sur
| prise our flnvnmmont&nd surprise our Allies,
| and, above a)l, SURPRISE OUR ENEMIES
Give the President of the United States
. the Support of a Democratic Congress
i In most States the primaries are over. The
| eandidates of the rival parties for both loeal
|| and national offées are duly nominated. Both
{ .the Republican and the Democratic Congres.
) Sional committees are in the field each with
| an appeal to voters to support the candi
| dates of its partienlar complexion.
It is & most significant sign of the times
il that both of these committees base their
| appeal mainly on the ground of the loyalty of
| membersaf their party now in the House of
| Representatives to the President in his war
| time policies.
& The Republicans are inclined to arrogate
i to themselves a degree of loyalty which they
‘ _deny to the Demoerats. They declare that
| whatever opposition the President has en
| countered has been in Mis own party and
| that in all matters pertaining to the conduet
i of the war }\w Republicans have given him
i a cordial and hearty support.
The Demoerats naturally take sharp issue
4 with this assertion and urge the voters to
| return a majority of Representatives and
; Senators of the President’s own party.
! Mr. Ferris, of Oklahoma, toneching upon
| this question in 2 speech in the House, nrged
i that the voters give to the President so large
Il & majority of Democrats behind him that it
| will be unnecessary for him ‘“to conduet a
il debating society’’ in the House every time
{ he has a war measure for enactment.
| It is evident enough that the Congressional
| campaign will find the champions of eachs
# party loud in their assertion of pecunliar
loyalty to the administration so far as war
legislation is concerned.
| How the votars may* regard a eampaign
il of this character is yet to be determined.
§ Common sense, however, elearly indicates
§ that if the administration is to be supported
it can best be done by members of its own
party in both houses of Congress.
We do.not seek to deery or to under
|} estimate in any way the spirit of loyalty
i whieh has led the Republicans to give in their
{| votes a very general support to Mr. Wilson's
| administration on distinetly war issues. But
i we do not think the country has heen deaf to
the speeches of wttack nupon and eriticism of
{| the administration that within the last two
| months have been delivered by the Repub
lieans for the «xpress purpose of furnishing
|| mmnitions for {1 coming ¢ampaign.
4 Nor do we think that ahy one possessing
I'herefore all things whatsoever ye woutd that men should do to you, do ye even so to'them. . . . —ST MATTHEW.VIL 12
“Subscribe for Liberty Bonds”
by making the shseription twelve billions in
stead of six billions.
Our brave boys abroad did much more than
our enemies expected them to do, mueh more
than our Allies expected them to do, and
mueh more than even we at home, who know
best their courage and devotion, expected
them to do.
Shall we at home do less than our boys
abroad? Shall we not do our easy part as
well as they have done their desperately dif
fieult part?
Let us surprise the world as they surprised
it. Let us surpass all previous efforts of civil
ians in our war as our boys abroad have sur
passed all previous records in their heroie
duty of . making war. ”
Let us do this much partly for sentiment
and partly for the very practical advantage
that will come to our country and our cause
as a result of it.
Victory is now in the air. The enemy is
averywhere on the run. Not only disaster
but discouragement is overpowering him.
Let us add to the disaster and increase the
discouragement of the foe in every possible
way.
Caesar said Pompey knew qnot how to econ
quer because Pompey had failed to f-llow up
and make overwhelming a vietory which he
had begun to achieve. Our boys abroad
know how to conquer. They hav®started the
enemy retreating and they are keeping him
retreating. Let us do our share to keep him
on the run. Let us show that we will not only
speedily and cheerfully raise the six billions
required by our Government but that we
will gladly offer twice ‘that stupendous
amount to the service of our country if it
needs it.
Let us carry this heartening news to our
Allies and this diseouraging and damning
fact to our foes.
Let ns make an end of the war quickly by
the united exertion of our utmost endeavors,
for the sooner the war is ever the less it will
cost in precious lives and the less even in the
minor matter of money.
Complete demoralization on the part of the
Teutonie allies may end the war in a month.
A thorough realization of the hopelessness of
_their cause may result in revolution in Ger
“many and the cessation of a useless and pur
- poseless resistance, .
How glad we will be if we have done our
share toward bringing about this speedy fer
mination of the war through a glorious and
overwhelming vietory.
even rudimentary political sense can be ig
norant of the fact that there are many legis
tative questions vital to the administration’s
program which are not absolutely and un.
qualifiedly matters of war legislation.
Upon such the Republicans have not in
frequently set themselves in antagonism to
the administration’s desires in the past, and
if in the maiority, would do so more effect
ively in the futupe.
We think that common sense and a true
regard for the vigorous prosecution of the
war will lead the country io eleet a Demo
eratic Congress, beeause that is the natural if
not the only way in which Americans can
this year express the confidence they feel in
President Wilson's brilliant and highly suc
| cessful conduet of the war so far.
’WHY NOT BETTER SPEED IN
. REPAVING PEACHTREE?
l Isn’t it possible for the powers-that-be to
| speed up the repaving of Peachtree street a
bit? v
Winter 48 coming on, and the pressure of
time is urgent. Ivy street, from where it
enters Peachtree south to Kdgewood and De
catur, is congested daily to a point where it
is all but unendurable. When the winter
weather sets in, it will be WORSE,
The traffic on Atlanta’s streets is heavy,
and because of their general narrowness is in
convenient and slow in the best of circum
stances, Therefore, rational speed in street
construction here is more necessary than may
be the ease usually in cities of relative size,
The Georgian believes this construction
can be hurried along, and we hope it WILL
be.
Why not ““get a move on'’ from today on,
and get the matter over with, BEFORE the
cold weather is upon us?
‘‘General Closing to Check Flu,'’ says a
Constitution headline. Sinee it isn’t a Gen.
eral Von Closing, maybe he really has.a
chance to put it aocross,
‘“Great activity in the nut industry’’ is
noted in Georgia. This doesn’t seem to be
exactly the silly season politically, at that.
Looks as i’ the German All Highest also
is the World's Champion All-Innest.

B 0 to work on a cattle ranch!
I don't suppose she ever saw a
cattle ranch in her life, certainly
there are none near the eity in
which she lives, It is the great,
free, boundless West that she is
looking for, the West of “The Vir«
pinfan” or “The Little Knight of
X-B" And no wonder she longs
for a cow pony and long rides un
der the blue sky, on the plains be
tween the Missouri and the setting
sun,
I am afraid my dainty little maid
would not like the rea]l cattle
ranch, if she ever got far enough
West to see one .
It 18 a dusty, fusty affair and-—-
whisper-—all the young cowboys,
the broncho bfisters and the gallant
horgsemen of the movies have gone
to France or Italy to fight in the
Ereat war. And the only people left
on the ranches are old people
brought up to the rough ways of
ranch life
So T am pAing to tell this girl,
who %0 longs to do something
worth while, toe look for the task
nearest to her, and the one she is
most suited for
“A BIG COWARD"
There ls no scarcity of work now,,
and lif our little 15-vear-old can
not find just what she wants at
first, why there is & chance for her
still at school.
No one rhould fail to be as well
prepared for life as she——or he—
can be
The coming _venr(: will bring plen

Tuesday, October 8, 1918
am reminded of & bhoy. He mays
proudly that he is 15 years and
7 monthy of age. He also llves in

deep, eonsuming ambitton.
No cattly ranch for him-—nothing
as strenuous as that -‘—_{9l' he told
me himself. that, alNingh he s

as a new-born babe” and “a big
coward.”
He likes to:read romances and
tales of adventire, but=-though he
dces not say It to:me=l strongly
suspect that he hates work as
much as he says he hates fighting.
And he writes verses, too! -
He is kind hearted, for he loves
animals and hates those who are
cruel to them, but his heart does
net lead him tosanything very ac
tive, No cattle ranch for him., He
is' employed M a banker's office,
where he has a chance to get on in
the world, but that doesn't suit him,
The one thing that this boy longs
for is to become an actor. He can
not tell how he yearns for & chance

She need ot go to a cattle ranch
to find a place where she will do

call him Leo?—l feel rathey down
hearted. For he talls me himself
that he 1# a coward.
Now that settles it. Leo will have
to correct his whole being and be
cured of cowardice. No good things
can be expected of a coward. But
the case is not hopeless, for many a
youth has set himself to learn brav

the sneaking spirit of cowardice,
" The annals of war are full of
storles of men who, cursed with

IT looks as If we had "em licked from Belgium to the sea,
Each passing day our troops advance a mile or two or three.
old Foch keeps hammering away, and when he’s worn 'em thin
He picks another place to slam and keeps on smashing in.
And while we read good cheerful news from all along the line
There falls like music on our ears, the German Kaiser’s whine.
HE lan”t spouting hoasts about the mighty German sword;
He isn’t pausing in his tracks to thank the German Lord;
He isn’t hymning forth his hate and talking of the way
When his victorious armies win, he’ll make the Allies pay.
He’s running round the Fatherland (behind the danger zone),
And hegging people not to quit and leave him all alone.
TWO million of his subjects dead, and many millions more
Put where they never can take part in this or any war,
His people rioting for bread, he still rans up and down
And begs them to keep in the fight to save his blood-stained
crown,
No Royal Personage is this who rules by right divine,
But just a badly scared old man—a coward with a whine.
IT may take longer than we think to land the final blow;
He may have still a little while his whimpering way to go,
But whether it be weeks or years, those lips will boast no more
Of German Lords or German swords, or German Might in war,
His days of brag and blustering are vanished with the past;
He'll slink to what his fate may be—and whining to the last!
