Many fatalities have resulted
ifrom Spanish influenza which has
developed in all parts of the.
nation and in other countries as
[well.
Bootleggers were arrested at
a small town near Douglas, Ari-
zona, this week with liquor in
their possession to the market
value of m ariy $100,000.
Today is the 426th anniver-
sary of the discovery of America
pnd Presid! nt Wilson requests
time the day bb celebrated1 by a
mighty drive :m the interest of
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The death of Don Martin, the
iweJl known writer and war cor-
respondent was reported from
[Paris Monday. He was sstricken
with influenza and died in a few
Lours. He was a brilliain-t and
forceful writer and a man of
.wide- information.
Ccagivssman Connaly of the
Waeo-IIamilton d/strist has en-
tered military service as a cap-
tain. He has net resigned his
seat n congress, however, hut
exp ets to return to his official
duties as soon as the Iluns are
defeated and peace once more
reign's.
Acting Governor .Johnston is-
swd a proclamation th:s we k
calling upon the, people to refrain
from public gatherings as much
s;s possible and in other ways as-
sist in preventing the spread of
influenza. He' suggested the sus-
pmsich of public schools as one.
precautionary measure. A
O ffiefals ^ipyW ashi hgton as well
a is those in charge of the Liberty
Loan bond sale express a fear
that the peace talk will have an
influence against the- success of
thb sale, hut the Eagle believes
the result will he exactly the op-
posite. With prospects fpr an
early termination of the war,
theaipeople would he even more
anxious to secure the invest-
ments in the bonds than they
are now. At least, this appears
ip he- the reasonable vii:W to
take of the situation.
, President Wilson ’s r ply to the
Qef-man chancellor was re-
ceived with approval by the coun
tty generally, including con-
gress and government officials
a|td the representat’ves of other
nations. The results- of the mighty
cfntflict are now sure and certain
add i| would1 be unwise and nn-
rbasouaiblb for any terms to be
:g®.ahf,-ed that would not guaran-
permanent peace for the
world ..and attain the other ends
for which' this nation and its fellie
are contending and fighting. Tin
rtjply oftythe- president gave the
country renewed assurance of his
ability to handle the situation
properly.
While we are all profoundly -:n-
terc'.sted in winning the war,
W.e cannot afford to remain in-
active ..with our affairs or then-
will he no resources w’th kwhich
to carry on. the- war. Those who
are not drawing salaries in gov-
ernment jobs must continue in
business, pay war taxes, buy
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps, and us-i: as little food
as possible. Farmers m-osf of all
are required -to -expand their
operations, increase their -earn-
ing capacity and live as corn-
• fortablv as their means will, per-
mit. WV must he sensible and
give some thought to- the fu-
ture as well as the present.
Even when the war is won, ns we
hope it will he s-oon. we must eon
tinne farm ing and do our part in
helping to pay tyne war debt.—
