LET US HAVE PEACE.

The following editorial 10 by Viii.
liam Randolph Hearst who is urging
the press OF the United States to in.
augurate a movement, Or rather to
support the movement started by Mr.
Hearst, to bring the European wal
to an end through the influence Of the
press OF the United States Mr.
Hearst's editorial follows:
There is no reason for the Amert
can people to express or entertain
partisan sentiment in regard to this
great conflict now raging in Europe.
We as a people deplore the war.
We condemn the monarchial systems,
the imperial policies, the medieval
fractions, the aggression OF states
and the arrogance Of kings which are
responsible for this inexcusable de-
struction Of our fellow human beings,
this objectionable assault upon the
foundations OF our social system and
Of our civilization.
We sympathize most deeply with
the various peoples, our friends and
brothers in humanity, who are com
PEELED by the force OF events which
they could not foresee and circum-
stances which they could not control
to take brave but bloody part In the
war.
Sympathy with our fellows in dis
tress and disaster Is out duty, but not
our full duty. It must be within the
power OF this great nation, which all
good opinion all value, to effectively
intervene In some legitimate way to
prevent the continuance Of this cruel
and calamitous war.
The nations OF Europe must already
have reached point where they real
ize, more than they possibly could
have realized before the event, the
extent of the destruction and disaster
which they are inf1icting and inviting.
Europe is committing hara-kiri on
the doorsteps OF Asia.
The civilized nations of Europe are
destroying each other and the civili-
cation which they have laboriously
constructed through centuries.
Germany and Austria stand, and
have stood for ages, as the first line
of Europe's defense against the In
vadfng hordes OF Asia.
France and Belgium and Italy are
Europe's second line OF defense, and
England is its mighty defense at sea-
There is no rightful reason for in
ternecine conflict among the defend
ers of Europe. They should present
united front to external dangers and
exercise their combined power against
| the threat of Asiatic invasion.

France and Belgium to weaken Ger.

Where is the road to Already,
Where is the path that leads to
peace,
Where shall / find the bliss to be,
Where shall the weary wanderings
cease?
These are the questions that come to
Where is the road to Already.
Is there mytic time and place
To which some day shall the travel
er fare,
Where there Is never frowning face,
And never burden hard to bear,
Where we as children shall romp and
race?
Is there a mystic time and place?
For Already is an earthly sphere
Where only the gentlest breezes
blow,
A port Of rest for the weary here,
Where the velvet grass and the
clover grow
I question oft, is it far or near?
For Already is an earthly sphere.
And the answer comes, it Is very near,
It's there at the end Of little
street,
Where your children's voices are ring
ing clear
And you catch the patter OF little
feet.
Where is the spot that is never drear?
And the answer comes-it is very
near.
For each man buildeth his Already,
And each man fashions his port OF
rest;
And never shall earth spot brighter

Than the little home that with
peace is blessed,
So seek it not over the land and sea.

The River Of Life.

The more we live, more brief appear
Our life's successive stages;
A day to childhood seems q year.
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current OF our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
But as the careworn cheeks grow wan,
And sorrows shafts nysthicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why run your courses Quicker2
When joys have lost their bloom and
breath,
And life itself 10 vapid,
why, as we reach the falls of death,
Find we it's tides more rapid?
II may be strange-yet who would change
Times course to lower speeding,
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bcSoms bleeding?
