QUESTION
A Union Veterans Answer to
Senator Beveridge.
Degire for Gain Should Not
Call for Force-Establish a
Republic and End the War.
From the indianapolis Press.

From the Indianapolis Press.
The Union veteran is the one unique
and original character of his genera
ton. He so loved the Constitution of
the United States and the princi-
pies OF government it was made to
protect that be was willing TO die, if
through his death other Americans
could be made secure IN liberty pro-
tected by law. To-day he is the living
incarnation Of American patriotism,
He beiisves in self-goverunent in the
aostTacr, and demands that it be
granted to all nations; he hates mon
archy in all its forms everywhere; he
has an abiding faith in the common
people, and would trust them a thou
sand times further than any monarchy
or military hero on earth. The Un-
ion veteran believes the Constitution
to be the supreme rule of action of
the Govern ment of the UAited States,
by which all the people, by which all
the states and territories are to be
controIled; he goes one step further,
aud lays down the broad doctrine that
the Constitution is the "Ark Of the
Covenant" of tho peoples liberties,
aud that to obey its commands is God
illness, while to disobey its plain pro.
visions is treason, the penalty of
which is and always should be, death.
The Union veterans know that so long
as the Constitution is enforced, the
liberties of the people will be secure,
and he believes that when it is disre-
gArded openly, the liberties of the
people will be destroyed. He was edu-

true that this Government, whose
founders-God-fearing men as they
were-under His guidance, after a
seven years war, established and dedi-
Gated it to the cause Of human liberty
protected by law, will so forget its
glorious past as to abandon JeHerson's
Declaration of Independence, with its
peaceful reign of right, to enter upon
an era of commercial conquest or the
subjugation of weak and defenseless
nations, the inevitable result of which
will be, if we can judge the future by
the past, to cause our own people to
lose their own liberties and their gov
ernment to enter upon blood-stained
reign of might.
The Senator spoke eloquently in
favor of Commerce and our Imperial
Destiny in the East" There cannot
be in Republic even an approach to-
ward imperialism" without the very
gravest danger to the liberties of the
people, while the rights of commerce"
are to be Eeld at ell times subordinate
to the rights Of the citizens.
What shall be done? The Govern
ment is at war, its heroes are dying
nearly half way round the globe, and
a mountain of debt is being created
in the sum of million dollars day
every dollar of which labor will be
compelled to pay. The war should
end at once. flow can it end in hon.
orr. Every patriotic American wants
it to end in honor. Let Congress lay
aside partisanship long enough to en-
able it's me mbers to be American pa
lem will be solved. There is only one
honorable thing for our Government
to do. If Congress will be AS faithful
to its duty to-day as the Union veteran
was to his duty from 1861 to 1865, not
another hero in blue will die in battle
in the Philippines, and in the far
away East will arise a republic, with
the Government of the United States
as the friend and ally, to say to the
monarchies of the world hands off.
And-then what? Why this, the
American people will close the war as
i they began it-in the sacred interest
Of humanity. paramount RESPONSE
biIity rests upon the administration
now in authority. Let every patriot
pray that in this crisis of our national
history, those in authority may rise to
the demands of the hour, and taking
counsel from the history of the past,
and lessons from Washington, Jeffer-
son, Jackson and Lincoln, stand reso-
lutely in favor of the principles of
seIf-government and an honorable
peace. j. B. CHEADLE.
