WATERMAN SAYS HIS
DAUGHTER IS LOYAl
Bearer Crossing Veteran
Comes Back Hard at Audi
tor Smith on Bond
Discharge.
J. H. Waterman of Beaver Crossing,
whose daughter was dismissed from
her employment in the office of the
state auditor over a Liberty bond pur
chase, hai written a lengthy state
ment, giving hit version of the affair.
Mr. Waterman says hia daughter is
not disloyal, but that she had signed
a contract for the purchase of a Lib
erty bond, and it was at a Lincoln
bank at the time Auditor Smith dis
charged her. He says:
"A. R. Edmiston and H. W. Noble,
two of the underwriters who had been
hustling for Liberty loan subscrip
tions, started on a tour of the state
house on Friday morning, and the
auditor's office wai one of the first
places they visited. When they got
through there all of the people in the
office but two had bought Liberty
bonds, One of the two who bad not
taken the bondt was my daughter,
and the only rebuff she Bad offered
those chaps when asked to take the
bond was that the did not know if
she were able. The next proceeding
in this "lesson in patriotism," wat the
stepping of the two into Smith's room,
from which be shortly rushed, like a
bull into the ring following the shak
ing of a red blanket, and with light
ning in hia eye, gave her to under
stand that unless she bought a Liberty
bond she could consider herself out
f a job, offering to loan her the
money to (tart the purchase of one.
Think of it a girl being forced
to borrow money to loan this wealthy
nation or b deprived of ber mean)
of support."
Mr. Waterman, whe layf he la a
veteran of tha War of the Rebellion,
saya further along In hia statement:
"If my daughter was a man, aa Smith
should be, ahe undoubtedly would be
following ia the footsteps of her
lather and showing more patriotism
to thli nation and Old Glory, than
Smith, will ever demonstrate in his
life.'' -
