ditaiaiPsig 'THii vri J1 Tf 1L iH ana nni inn mi hi rn ai 1 mi October eighteen Pi THURSDAY MORNING HfiCaflk fair Acta THE MARINE' CORPS SECRETARY M'ADOO will certainly stir, the people of the United States to action by such splendid patriotic talks as he gave in San Bernardino yesterday morning, listened to by thousands of our citizens, and his trip from east to west and back again ought to result in a tremendous impetus to the sale of Liberty bonds. He seemed to bring the great realities of the war closer than ever, for he is one of the government's most trusted officials, he is in the confidence of the innermost circles, and his forthright declarations that even our own national independence is endangered and his ready illustration of the ways in which the kaiser trampled American rights and defied American authority furnish ample explanation of "why are we at war?" even if it did not make it entirely clear why we were not at war two years before, following the Lusitania outrage. For with such a forthright declaration of Americanism as Secretary McAdoo gave yesterday, the citizen most jealous of our national prestige could have no quarrel except possibly to feel that the new" declaration of independence ought to have been made earlier. Mr. McAdoo is a successful popular speaker.

He adapts himself to the conditions and to the crowd, and without any attempt to play upon it, his direct statement of facts, his ready fund of real information, his splendid earnestness and his pleasing personality win for-him the.sym-pathy of the throng, and make certain the forcefulness of his message. He was particularly effective yesterday as he alluded to the fact that three of his own sons are in uniform and with the colors, and the thing that may make them victors in the war, that may' make more certain their return and in the least possible time, is the equipment with which they are supplied. 1 That is the whole story of this war, here at home. Two millions of our sons may go abroad, but the hundred millions of us who stay, at home must furnish the guns and the ammunition and the clothing "and the food and the ships to carry them across the Atlantic, or their mission is in vain, and their cause lost. THE WAY WE CAN FURNISH THIS EQUIFMENT IS BY BUYING LIBERTY.

BONDS, AND THEN MORE LIBERTY BONDS, AND AGAIN MORE LIBERTY BONDS, EVERY TIME THE GOVERNMENT ASKS FOR THEM. And it is just as important that we take our place in this financial army as it is that every soldier be in line when the advance is ordered. As Mr. McAdoo points out, the men who go to France are offering everything to their country, even their lives. The least we can give is to LEND some money as the government asks for it, and it will be the $50, the $100 and the $500 purchases which will carry this bond issue and all others to final success.

Buy a Liberty bond! Do not salute the flag until you have done so. THEY DID HELP APROPOS of the fact that thousands witnessed THE SUN'S electrical diamond and enjoyed the games during the world series, and that the games were advertised in no San Bernardino newspaper except THE SUN, our Colton contemporary, the "Courier," rises to observe that while this is Uue, it is also true that the "Courier" did its bit by boosting the games in Colton. It did, it did, and we hasten not only to attest the fact, but in ifce same breath to acknowledge the very substantial support given the world series by all the papers of the county outside of this city. In particular, THE SUN acknowledges itself under obligations to the "Cairier" at Colton, the "Facts" and the "Review" in Redlands, the "Messenger" in Highland, the "Report" in Ontario, the "News" In Upland, the Record" in RIalto, and the "Press" and the "Enterprise" in Riverside. All of them featured news of the games and the fact that THE SUN was reproducing them at the Opera House, and, their cooperation aided not a little in crowding the "grand stand" day after day.

IT'S A HALF LOAF THE SUN is not certain that it entirely agrees with Attorney Grant Hol-comb, chairman of the dry committee which handled the successful ampaign of last April, when San Bernardino was voted dry. Mr. Holcomb in a recent interview urged dry voters not to sign the initiative constitutional amendment now being circulated, which would close saloons in California and outlaw whiskey, but allow the sale of wine and beer. True, that does not contain all that dry voters want in California. We favor absolute prohibition, have been voting for it and expect to do so again, liut we sec no reason why we Bhould not help to put the salons and whiskey cut of business, as a step toward the final consummation.

In other words, we doubt the propriety of opposing something which gives us a part and a big part of the final victory. In general, the proposed amendment, which of course is fathered by the wine interests of the state, is along the same lines as the proposed ordinance soon to be voted on in Los Angeles, which has the backing of Dr. Gandier, Dr. Montgomery, the Anti-Saloon League and practically all dry workers, who declare that it is better to vote the saloons and "hard out of Los Angeles and be sure of the result, than to attempt to pass a more stringent ordinance and fail. We also remember to have heard Dr.

Candler say, while the legislature was in session, that if he were a member 3f It he would vote for the Rominger bill, not because it was his ideal mea-pire but because it would accomplish a part of what he hopes to see wholly cconjplit.hed In California, and because he believes it would make that easier of final accomplishment. THE SUN is not In favor of this so-called Rominger bill amendment leeauie it is complete prohibition. It isn't. But it will be a long step in Ut direction, and make the next step easier and surer to come. We see noihlng inconsistent on the part of dry voters in voting for this amendment r.nd et the same time also, voting for an amendment which will provide for absolute prohibition.

If both carry, the state will be as dry as Sahara and the better for it. If the latter fails and the former carries, California will be considerably drier than at present and the better for that.

No flag of truce they carry, Nothing but war they proclaim; Wan are their faces Terrible their message, Beautiful their livery. Lo, the army is upon us, They have pitched their tents; They have raised their standard The gold of Tt, the splendor, Purple and crimson, tawny end bronze! Their banners cover the fields We are prisoners! Oh, stealthy approach, Oh, swift disaster, Oh, terrible the bite of the sword In the winds of October! Mary Eastwood Knevels. ROOSEVELT LIBRARY OF THE WAR GET those who wish to understand the hideous evil wrought by the foes who at the moment are the most dangerous of those outside our own household, and the even greater menace to our future wellbeing presented by those who at the moment are the most dangerous of the foes within our own household, read such books as Owen Wister's "Pentecost of Calamity," Gu8tavus Ohlinger's "Their True- Faith and Allegiance," James Beck's "Evidence in the Case" and "The War and Humanity," Arthur Gleason's "Golden Lads" and "Our Part in the Great War," Frederick Palmer's "With Our Faces Toward the Light," Vernon Kellogg's "Headquarters' Nights," and the various documents, including poems, sketches, brief essays Issued by that capital organization, the Vigilantes among the writers being Herman Hage-(iorn, Porter Emerson Browne, Julian Street, Edvyln Carty Ranck and William H.

Fischer. If any man etill honestlywlshes to know "why we are at war," these writings will enlighten him. He can well ask why we did not go to war immediately after the Lusitania horror and to this there never can be any satisfactory answer but no brave and patriotic man- or woman has tl right to ask why we are at war now.
