STANDING BACK OF
THE GOVERNMENT
Next to dishonor, war is the
greatest calamity that can be
fall a nation. We are now be
ginning to realize how far
reaching its effects are. It is
not too much to affirm that
the war affects to some degree
the condition of life for every
man, woman and child in the
country. From the loss of life
itself, the sacrifice runs all the
way down the scale to a slight
deprivation of comfort and
luxury.
But for every widespread
disaster there is usually some
good to place in the other side
of the balance. It may not ap
parently make a hair’s weight
of difference against the ill,
but it is there and perceptible
if we look for it. What have we
of good to set against the evils
. of war?
Our answer would be, Great
er national unity. A year ago
we were for the most part a
country of individuals, indivi
dual communities, individual
states.Men were pursuing their
own objects, communities were
>iot looking beyond their own
improvements, states were car
> ing for their own people.
Now all horizons are broad
ened. When a man sees his son
or his neighbor’s son going to
war, his thought involuntarily
goes out to the environment of
that boy, the conditions he ,vil]
meet,and the government which
provides or regulates them. He
realizes that the government
will have to provide these boys
with the simple necessities;
food, clothing and shelter. It
will also have to provide them
with training, transportation,
weapons, artillery and aircraft
for their protection, medical
services and hospitals for their
care, and hundred other essen
tials. And the man also begins
to realize that it is up to him
in his indivdual capacity to
stand back of the government,
to take his part in providing
these absolutely necessary
things in his own rightful pro
portion, either from his abun
dance or from his bare suffi
ciency.
And we need only to see the
banners of the Third Liberty
Loan in the windows of the
homes throughout the land to
understand how magnificently
the individuals have risen to
their duty and their opportun
ity.
We cannot estimate the ag
gregate sacrifices which this
splendid showing has required.
In many cases it meant the giv
ing up of comforts, perhaps ox
cherished plans. But each man
who has subscribed for his
bond or bonds feels that he is
a component part of his coun
try, that he stands or falls with
it, and that it is a country wor
thy of his sacrifice. He is in
harmony of feeling with his
neighbor, his community, his
state and his nation.

There is a man in this town
who always acts as a brake on
! the wheels of progress. Every
project thaHs broached for the
betterment of community con
ditions, elicits from him only a
I grunt of dissent, if not active
j opposition. He regards every
; man as a rascal until proven
honest. He can see no sincerity
in the most unselfish actions,
and can detect cupidity at the
bottom of the greatest sacrifi
ces. He is a community wet
blanket. IS IT YOU?
| The kaiser, having failed to
scare anybody in Europe by his
campaign of frightful ness, has
now sent some of his submar
ines to the Atlantic coast in a
j forlorn hope of frightening the
! American people. What W.
Hohenzollern doesn’t know
about the American people
would fill a large number of
ponderous volumes?
R. 11. Waddell has purchas
ed the Batesville Record and
took charge of the paper this

daily and will publish only a
weekly edition. Mr. Waddell is
a good newspaper man and is
well known to the people of
Independence county.
Whether a man was a pro
hibitionist before the war or
not, every honest man ought to
agree that food rations ought
not to be cut as long as grain
is used in making booze. It is
time to lay aside political pre
judice now and be 100 per cent
American.
The beautiful cup which the
Kaiser awarded to the Amer
ican winner of his yacht race
has turned out to be not gold,
but pewter. The golden prizes
with which he dazzles the eyes
of the German people will all
prove to be equally deceptive.
Between the requirements of
more wheat for the allies and
more money to support the ar
my Uncle Sam must continue
to tighten his belt and loosen
the straps of his pocketbook.
The German generals have
often set dates when they will
dine in Paris. But it is no* re
ported that the Paris restaur
ants are laying in any supplies
of sausages or sauerkraut.
America is thrilled by the
exploits of her troops on the
Marne. She will keep her en
thusiastic feelings, and after
the war is over will tell them
to the marines.
A war savings stamp is the
only thing you can buy with
the utter certainty that it will
be better in five years than it
was the day you bought it.
There is a time for ev ery
thing, so they say. Hut the time
has expired for loafing and a
busing the government.—Sharp
County Record.
“Belts are getting shorter in
Germany,” says a war writer.
And hats beyond the Rhine
will be smaller too, after the
war.
The cotton stocking is real
ly more patriotic than the silk
stocking, although some people
consider it a little slacker.
A War-Savings Stamp a
month will give the kaiser a
bump.
The woman who can can and
will can is helping to win the
war.
ASSASSIN WHOSE
SHOTS CAUSED THE
GREAT WAR, DEAD
Gavrio Prinzip, the assassin
of Archduke Francis Ferdinand
heir apparent to the Austro
Hungarian throne and his wife,
at Sarajevo, Bosnia, died in
Fortress near Prague of tuber
culosis, recently.
Prinzip shot to death the
Austrian archduke and his wife
while they were on a visit to
the Bosnian capital on June '28,
1914, and out of this double
murder the European war de
veloped. Prinzip, who was a
student, was found guilty and
sentenced to 20 years impris
onment.
Prinzip fired two explosive
bullets from a revolver at the
Austrian heir apparent, the*
first striking the Duchess of
Ilohenberg, the Archduke’s
morganatic wife, in the abdom
en, and the second aking ef
fect in the neck of the arch
duke.Both bullets caused death
within a short time.
The killing of the Austrian
Archduke is the act that preci
pitated the present great war
that has cost the world somuc-n
in human bloodshed.

NOT HAVE TICKET
It is reported from Little
Rock that the Democratic nom

the Eepublicais may not put

If this should come to pass
it will be due to the patriotism
of Arkansas Republicans, who
are in a hopeless minority in
state politics anyway. It is
said that the Arkansas Repub

keeping a record of the proceedings and reporting the names of all
persons present and the amount of War Savings Stamps subscribed for
by them. The names of absent jiersons, and of those who refuse or

The money invested in War Sa in js Stamps is not a gift, or a

with 4% compound interest. If, becau '• of some serious financial
reverses, or calamity, it should I necessary to get your money before

free from all State and local taxi ; when registered at the postoffice
they are insured against loss; they are backed by all the property in
the United States;-they cannot fall in value below the price you pay;
they are as convenient and as well,paying an investment as has ever
been offered by our Government.
A definite quota of War Savings Stamps has been assigned each
school district and community, which will be announced at each meet
ing on June 28. The Government of the United States expects all
the citizens of every school district and county to subscribe for its
quota and to pledge themselves to save and economize to help win
the war.
It is to be hoped that the subscriptions taken at the meetings in
your county will show you nnd your neighbors to be loyal Americans
to whom our Government, in this hour of need, does not call in vain.

Arkansas War Savings Director appointed, and acting under the
authority of the Secretary of the United- Stated*Treasury.
