And, if we must admit it, so will that much vilified ingredient of our intercourse, the sordld commodity called money. = * The national revenue is among the auper]atwes. ‘When we think of it we think also of the capitol dome at Washington and the Statue of Liberty, of Grant’s tomb and other emblems of 'America’s abiding sovereignty. We don't think of the six bits in your pocket and the two dimes in mine. We think even less of the Panama you saw me in yesterday and which I paid for—perhaps, and the shoes you bought last week, spot cash—I don’t think. The natlonal treasury is concerned in your shoes a.nd my; Panama. If all of us here in Bemidji have paid cash for every: thing we own, the store keepers we bought it from know exactl: where they stand. Multiply that by the number of towns in the republic. Every one will know exactly what he can afford to do'and spend. The U. S. A. would have taken its own measure. Of course, a theory like this can be pushed to an absurdity. In business operations involving the balancing of large credlts. the day would be too short if we tried to do everything by a transfer of currency. But most of us are not financiers, most businesses are on a nmiodest scale, most transactions'can be com- pleted with the exchange of dollar bills for value. = Why, then, allow this disturbing. element, credit, to butb in where it does not belong? Or, if we can’t keep. it out, why| not prevent it from getting in too deep? Perhaps this proposition sounds like a sample from the top, shelf of the Sunday school library, or an extract from the First|: Reader. A large part of our patriotic duty, when formulated, is merely a paraphrase of one of these moth-eaten authorities. It sounds like sentiment, but it is really sense. Hardly any one in Bemidji can make the excuse that he is out of work, The work or fight rule takes care of that. The difficulty is noh to get work, but to dodge it. Wages are abnormally high, There is no famine of money, but there is of men. We can work d‘am and night if we want to. For the duration of the war let us make it a prmmple here in Bemidji to run as few credit accounts as possible, and to pay them promptly. We could establish a rule to hold a general “Pay Up Week” here at intervals, and during that cheerful festival wipe the slate absolutely clean. Other towns might take a tip from us, and if Washington became a convert to the idea and appointed “Pay Up Weeks’ throughout the country, we would share with the inventor of the Thrift Stamp and the Liberty Bond the distinction of forging a financial weapon that| x % % % % % % X % X % ¥ ¥ k % would strike the kaiser from his throne. x HEULIN. * t ——————— KN AR KK KR KK K o THE SUGAR BOWL.

How about the open sugar bowl in restaurants with the printed card above it appealing to us not to take more than two spoonfuls? Some of us obeyed it, and stinted ourselves for the benefif of disloyal customers who took six. It paid to be unpatriotic, and the less we allowed ourselves the more we left for the kaiser’s friends. With the bowl behind the counter—or in a government rationing department——we are all likely to behave, and the restauranteur’s profit is easier for us to figure. It is alway: pleasanter for us to be able to. calculate how much that 013 friend of ours is'able to put away. Put us all on an equal footing. We are fighting for democ- racy—Ilet us try it on ourselves, throughout the republic. $ S O KEKKEEKKEKK KKK KKK CUMMINS COMES THROUGH. ; i ol STEENERSON. * 4 e i KKK RKRKKK K KKK KK b The advocates of woman suffrage are. fortunate in havin: Mr. and Mrs. E.
