SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 19—There
ts one man in the United States who
is not expected to assist the govern
ment in floating the "Second Liberty
Loan for 1917.” He is Dr. E. H. Stock
bridge of Atlanta. Georgia, and the
“hands off" suggestion was made to
him by Secretary of the Treasury
William G. McAdoo, following the an-,
nouneoment of Dr. Stockbridge's op
position to the loan based on his ob
jection to pending postal legislation.
"You are liot worth fighting fpr” says
Secretary McAdoo in a telegram to
the Georgian.
Secretary McAdoo on September
22nd telegraphed Dr. Stockbridge ask
ing that as president of the Farmers
National Congress the Atlanta man
communicate with the executive heads
of other Farmer’s Organizations to
ask their co-opcration in the coming
loan. In reply Dr. Stockbridge ac
cused the Secretary and the adminis
tration of favoring the McKeller
amendment providing for an increase
of second-class postage^ rates. “We
refuse to become a party to the
crime”, is the closing statement of
Dr. Stockbridge’s telegram.
Secretary McAdoo’s telegram in re
ply is as follows:
“Your telegram received. I under
stand your position to be that you
will not assist the government in
selling the next Liberty Loan on the
J ground that the administration and I
personally are supposed to favor the
McKeller amendment, or the propos
ed increase in the postal rates on
second class mail matter which in
cludes farm and other publications.
As a matter of fact I am not in sym
pathy with this legislation and have
said that I thought it had no place
in the revenue bill, that this was an
impportune time to raise the issue.
Also that it ought to be considered on
its merits in connection with post
office legislation and not with that of
Treasury matters.
xjui. even ii i lavureu ii, is mui a
reason why you should be unwilling to
I assist in selling United States Govern
■ ment Bonds? Is that a reason why
1 you should refuse to lend money to
your government to enable it to sup
ply the gallant sons of farmers and of
every other class of American citi
zens who have been drafted or who
haVe volunteered to give their lives to
protect your liberty uuJ property the
necessary guns with which to fight;
the necessary clothing and food to
support them in the field; the necess
ary life insurance and means to -sup
port their dependent families while
' they are at the front.
“Have you a son who has volun
teered or who hao been drafted Into
this noble service? If so, would you
fall to buy a Liberty bond to help
him fight to save his country and to
protect his own life because the rates
on second-class mall matter may be
increased? If you haven't a son you
cannot feel what every mother and
father of a gallant boy must feel
when they see that boy go out to fig*U
for his country.
"I am happy to believe that you
1 speak for ourself alone and that you
do not represent the sentiment of
any other farmer in America.
“The gallant boys now going into
training must fight for the safety
and liberty and property of every man
women and child in America, you in
cluded. If you really entertain the
sentiments you have expressed in the
telegram it is a pltty that these brave
men must fight for you, because you
are not worth fighting for.
“I withdrew my request for your
’ assistance In the sale of government
bonds. The patriotic people of Am
erica and will sustain their gallant sol
diers and sailors and carry this war
to victory Without your aid.”

(By United Press)
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 19. — The Im
portance of the railroad man's part In
helping America win the war cannot
be over-emphasized because it is eas
ily apparent that all the armies, muni
tions and food supplies produced by
our country would be useless in the
fight against Germany without trans
portation facilities. What good is a
gun unless you have a railroad man
to take It where It Is needed? And
what good is a gun without shells-— _
without food for the men who fite it? —
This is the railroad man’s job and his !
great duty to the nation at this time.
I believe that as an engineer for j
the Southern railway, 1 am doing my
bit to help America win the war just
as much as the young men who are
joining the army and navy. And by
being efficient, watchful against dan
gerous practices and by careful- use
of my engine I believe there is an
opportunity to increase the usefulness
of my services to the country in this
emergency.
I am making an effort to do these
things. The locomotive that I now
drive has been in my charge for four
years and eight months. Durine that
time as a result of the care and at
tention I give the working parts after
completing my run, it has never been
sent to the shops for heavy repairs.
Altogether I have driven it over 272,
000 miles without a breakdown. After
each run I spend from thirty minutes _
to an hour going over each working
part to see that no condition exists '
that may result in accident or break
down while out on the line.
By keeping my engine out cf the
shop and by consuming as little coal
as possible in running it, I feel that
1 am contributing my part to the ef
forts of my superior officers to pro
duce the maximum transportation ef
ficiency which is necessary to win the
fight, and in doing these things to the
best of my ability I think I am justi
fied in the belief that I am doing my
bit for my country in the present
emergency.
