Bemidji and Beltrami county are on the eve of the Victory Liberty Loan, and their quota, but $270,000, is certain to be oversubscribed but none can for a moment neglect to perform his part in bringing the expected result. There is more or less loose thinking about this last call to help Uncle Sam pay his bills. His honor is involved and it can be said that it will be a point of honor for every American who can buy a bond to] do 30 and help carry his burden. It was a short war for the United States, and a merciful war, since our losses in fighting men were a few score of thous- ands, while those of France were far more than a million and of the British Empire nearly a million. Economically the United States comes out of the war with few scars, while France is grievously spent and Great Britain will suffer from her sacrifices for a generation, Prosperity will soon be knocking at the door of Americal again and she will quickly recover from the ordeal, but for her allies it will be ““a long, long trail” to better times. They will have many hardships, to endure many privations, to faint and falter on the way, to experience dark days, before they can com- pete with us again on even terms and know success. With the war over their people are living on shorter rations than Ameri- cans knew at any time during the struggle. Should we com- plain of a burden of taxation that is light and easily borne compared with the crushing load they stagger under? The price we pay for victory seems high only when we do not con- trast our condition and our obligation with theirs. And it must never be forgotten that we entered the war on our account as much as on theirs. Any other view is sophistry or self-de- lusion. Moreover, it was because they fought so hard for three years that the end came so soon after our armies took the field. Their debt to us is great, but so is ours to them. So let us pay our war bills cheerfully. It is called the Victory Loan; it might well be called th l No attention paid to annonymous contributions. Writer's name must be known to the editor, but not necessa-ily for publication. Thanksgiving Loan, and the Honor Loan would be a name of significance. Can we Americans who have been saved from the German peril by our allies as well as by the manhood of our own soldiers retain their self-respect if we balk on the Fifth Loan and it fails? How petty it would seem for any one to say: “All these other loans are quoted below par, and why should I take any more bonds?” The day will come when‘every bond put out will go to a premium, for there never was a better security. Can’t we afford to lend our money to the -Govern- ment for a little while when thousands of our soldiers have given their lives that America should continue to be free? Some of us find our taxes onerous and look askant at the new loan, arguing lamely that the war is over. No, it is not over, and in the literal sense it will not be over for the American people until they pay the cost, which they should gratefully do to the last cent, rejoicing that civilization has won, glad that America came out of the war so strong in wealth and oppor- tunity, thankful that their sacrifices in the youth of the nation were comparatively light. The alternative to failure to float the Victory Loan would be more taxation. How fatuous, and what a reproach that would be! When we think it over we shall all find the money, save it, or borrow it if necessary, to buy bonds of the new issue. It would never do to turn our backs on the Victory Loan. We could never look Uncle Sam in the face again. 0 Two bills providing for a.state soldiers’ memorial are now before the legislature. One calls for a completed project and the other leaves the style and scale to future decision. The latter is perhaps the best, but whether it is accepted matters little. It is imperative that one or, the other be given approval by thg legislature. The dead heroes of the Civil and Spanish- American wars, and those whose bodies remain buried in Frgnce, are more than deserving of a state memorial and our legislature will have been guilty of gross neglect if it fails to thus honor them. It can well afford to devote a portion of its remaining time, even though the session’s close is near, to ample consideration of {hese meritorius measures. [ , Y——— There can be but one possible excuse should the Babcock good roads amendment fail of adoption—that the people of the state were ignorant of the advantages which would result. Now is the time for every booster of good roads to start talking about the Babcock amendment. Those who are not familiar with it should be informed of its great benefits which are to be so far reaching that every community in the state will feel them. Simply remember that such an expression as “Of course Iam going to vote for the Babcock amendment,” repeated wl}engver the occasion presents itself, will help mightily in bringing about the adoption of this very important measure. 0 The popularity of the Commercial club Wednesday lunpheons is expanding each week and no other community activity is responsible for so much good. R. L. Given, presi- gent of the club, has been fortunate in arranging programs of mteres_t and his splendid work should be encouraged. These _gathermgs tend to keep club members familiar with conditions in general and to bring them into touch with one another in a manner which cannot but be beneficial to cooperation and good fellowship. 5 —0 Bemidji is proud of its military band. It is a musical organization of merit and is growing constantly better: Its steady -progress is encouraging to the members and they are! exertmg themselves that it may be made the equal of any band} in the state. Encouragement and it is so easy to give when so splendidly deserved, is all they ask. Let us all make it a point to let the players know that their work is appreciated.
