NAN OF THE RIGHT SORT.

Every man in South Bend. the like
Of John Hays Hammond. jr, even IN
a miniature way. will please hold up
their hands. Hammond, jr., talks like
a patriot. and a man of sense. and
patriotism and sense are not always
entwined in the same cosmos. Let US
take a lesson from John Hays Ham
mond. jr.. while we have a chance
before he changes his mind,-else the
opportunity having knocked at our
door once. as says the late John In
gals ii may never pass our way again.
Hammond is young man who has
invented a radio-wireless submarine
torpedo which he proposes to sell 10
Uncle sam only and which is said 10
be the deadliest thing for making war
known. His torpedo weighs two tons,
is 10 times larger than the bisgest
torpedo in use. has displacement Of
20 tons. is driven by 500 horse power,
and controlled from shore by wireless
waves, and is almost unerring in aim.
He says:
! will not sell this torpedo TO any
of the belligerent powers. First,
because 1 do not need the money;
second. because / would not like
10 think OF the child of my brain
slaughtering thousands of men;
third, because this country, my
own country, may need the thing
soon in her own defense. But if
those devils ever come over here
l would be perfectly willing 10
stand with my finger on that wire
less key of mine and shoot tor
pedo after torpedo into them. L
would do il without a qualm, and
there would be nothing left of
them but stuff for the American
junkman.
II is all right 10 talk about not
wanting TO fight / do not want
to fight: | want 10 prepare TO
fight. For If the other fellow
wants 10 fight, what have'I TO say
about it?
That's the crux or our war propo-
sition. We've got TO be so we'll pre-
pared that the other fellow will not
want TO fight US

One would think that the great hu-
manitarian principles which underlie
the temperance cause would be so
commanding that its advocates would
be filled with the spirit of the text,
They who are not against US are for
us"
But such seems not TO be the case.
All public men and candidates for Of

their agreement with certain prohibi-
ZIONIST methods, and even among
those who conform 20 the test there
may be some who are "a little queer"
