Editorial Pag
In a copyrighted editorial in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, former
President Taft shows that the cove
nant of the league , of nations . is
strong and enforceable, and in no
wise contravenes the policies or in
terests of the United States.
Regarding the misconception to
v.-hich critics of the covenant have
given currency, Mr. Taft said:
"The attitude of those who favor
the covenant has been misconstru
ed, increasing the confusion in the
mind of the public in respect to the
inestimable value of the covenant
as it is. Were the alternatives pre
sented exactly as it is, or of post
poning the coming of peace and
continuing the state of war until
the conference could reconvene and
make other provisions for peace, I
should without the slightest fear as
to the complete safety of my coun
try under its provisions vote for it
as the greatest step in the better
ment of international relations for
the benefit of the people of the
world and for the benefit of my
country in recorded history."
Answering the contention that
the covenant is without provision
for enforcement, Mr. Taft continued:
'The proposed league has real
teeth and a bite to it It furnishes
real machinery to organize the pow
er of the peaceful nations of the
world into econimic and military
action, which by its very existence
and certainty will keep nations
from war and will force them to
the acceptance of a peaceful settle
ment. This will dispense with the
necessity for the exercise of econo
mic pressure or force. '
Sometimes it is like making bricks
without straw to get items in a
smiill' community where a lack of
putting them in the reporter's way
is often noticeable. The , power of
the printed word is unlimited and
the advantages of publicity often
given freely by the local paper to
village news, is worth many dollars
to its readers. It is also not the lo
cal items that sometimes are al
ready familiar to the home re.ukr
before publication that is to bs lul t
unrecorded, for the abi-pnt om liv
ing away from the iiutjvs. home
town thus get the village nws and
forma lar.'e number of suiscribers
scattered nil over the country who
take the home paper for this pur
pise especially.

Pledgee made to Invest In War Sav
ings Stamps have been automatically
intended to 1919 by the government,
which has made official : announce
ment that persona who, for any rea
son, did not complete their plodees
by December 31, 1018, may and are
expected to liquidate these pledges by
Investing In War Savings Stamps of
the new 1919 issue.
The 1919 War Savings Stamps are
bine in color and a trifle smaller than
those issued last year. They bear a
likeness of Benjamin FraDklin, the
apostle of thrift and economy. The
1919 War Savings Stamps which yield
their owners four per cent interest,
compounded nuartnrly, may be obtain
ed from any postoffice, bank, or other
authorized agent
Thrift Stamps and Thrift Cards
used last year remain In use during
1919, and filled Thrift Cards, that is.
Thrift Cards on which sixteen Thrift
Stamps have been affixed, may be ex
changed for 1919 War Savings Stamps
upon the payment of the few addi
tional cents which represent the dif
ference, between the price of . War
Savings Stamp and $4, the value of
the sixteen Thrift Stamps.
Purchasers of 1919 War Savings
Stamps should bear in mind that 1919
War Savings Stamps are to be affixed
only to 1919 War Savings Certificates.
Although one may have a 1918 War
Savings Certificate (the parchment
on which, War Savings Stamps are af
fixed) which has unfilled space on It,
such 1918 certificate should not have
1919 War Savings Stamps pasted na
It; nor should 1918 War Stamps be
placed on the new 1919 War Savings
Certificate. Keep the two yeara seP'
