PATRIOTISM is NOT ENOUGH

Great Britain is stirred by the eX-
ecution of a woman who was accused
Of violating the rules of war in Or
der to aid in the escape of prisoners
whose fate touched her heart. The
Allies will proft-and in the same
proportion Germany will suffer-by
the cruel punishment inflicted upon
Edith Cavell, but will either side take
to heart the rebuke administered by
her in her dying words? Both sides
have been inhuman-each eXcusing
itself by what the other does. 1t is
only a short time ago that, accord
ing to American eye witnesses, Brit
ish soldiers shot helpless, unarmed
German prisoners when a submarine
was captured; and now a woman
nurse is deliberately put to death un-
der conditions that would shock the
world had it not been made almost
insensible to horror by what it has
already seen. But the lesson taught
by the killing of Miss Cavell is that
love is mightier than force. The
spirit in which she met death was
more beautiful even than the calm
courage with which she faced her
eXeeutioners.
The German military chaplin tes-
titles: IEa
"She was brave and bright to
the last. She professed her
Christian faith and said she
was glad to die for her country
She died like a heroine"
Grand and inspiring words-wor-
thy to be inscribed on many mOnu-
ments that will be reared to her
but not so grand or inspiring as her
last words to the British chaplin:
But this | would say, stand
ing as ! do in view of God and
eternity; realize that Patriot
ism is not enough. l must have
no Hatred or Bitterness Toward
Any One"

HENRY FORD
willing to Spend His Millions to
Promote Peace In War
Stricken Europe

Washington, Nov. %. - Henry
Ford called on President Wilson to-
day in support of the movement for
a neutral conference to attempt to
end the European war and establish
a permanent peace. He told the
President he considered Christmas
the best time for such a movement,
but declined to say how the president
had received his suggestions.
Il am willing to give all the mon
ey I've got and go anywhere if my
doing so will aid this movement, "
said Mr.. Ford as he came from the
White House.
President Wilson has kept the
United States out of war and l have
learned that his course is being ap-
proved by people generally through
out the country.

FAULKNER
Comments In Sarcastic Vein on
HORer's Launching of Richie
Boom for Governor

! ~. w. Faulkner, Columbus political cor
respondent of Cincinnati 2nquirerl
! In addition to the Belmont County iur-
lists name that of Walter b. Ritchie, Of
Lima, has been cast into the hat by none
other than Master Bill Holfer, Of Wapak-
oneta, who doesn't want the party from
Dayton" ever again to stick up his head
for the Governorship. Bill believes, or
says he believes, that Walter would
sweep the state like vacuum cleaner,
bring ON the aurora borealis and restore
the golden age of pristine Democracy
The Lima man hasn't been heard from
directly but history discloses that this
isn't the first time the Democrats have
been invited to seize the chance Of nom
mating him. But that was in the old
convention days, when the rank and file
Of the party had nothing to say about
nominations. This bulwark of true lib
erty believes that Walter who is over q
years of age would like to open the Gov
ernorship package and inspect the con-
tents before putting up his $25 and his
certificate of Democracy signed by five
good men and true as attestors.
incidentally Samuel A. Hostins,, once
of Wapakoneta, but now of Columbus
met Bilrs editorial announcement with
an interview in another Auglaize county
paper, announcing that no matter who
else might be candidate he was for Cox
for a second term, come veal, come woe
or frost and snow. As sure as Adam sin
ned, Mr. Hoskins did this thing just to
get back at Bill-and certain others in
'Wapuck'. These matters 90 to show
that Democrats are still on earth and as
lively as Aeas on a circus lot. Who
would be brave enough to say now that
next August there won't be whole ca
Doodle Of en- running like fire engines
for the governorship nomination? The
impression prevails among them that
Willis is deader than canned lobster
and will be licked by 100000 at least. |
That's enough for them-that and the |
knowledge that the job pays $4,000 a |
year and lasts for two years. And it
costs only SIS for chance! Three rous-
ing cheers.

Preparing his Message

President Wilson put aside prae-
tically all other public business this
week to devote his entire time to
completing his third annual message
to congress, which he plans to read
personally at joint meeting of the
Senate and the House on December
Z.
The president is working hard to
have the message in the hands of the
public printer before Thanksgiving
Day. The program which the admin
istration hopes to see disposed of in
The coming session Includes:
Strengthening the army and navy.
A merchant marine bill.
Rural credits legislation.
Ratification o. the Hatien, Colom-
bian and Nicaraguan treaties.
The bill to give a greater measure
of self-government to the PHILIPPINES
Conservation measures.
Amendment of the antitrust laws.
Legislation to protect the Ameri-
can market against cheap foreign
products following the European
War.
Amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law so as to give the Federal
government more power to prosecute
plots to interfere with American COM
merce by blowing up our factories
and ships.

these words? They have been APP
pealing TO patriotism-and 10 arouse
the lighting spirit they have preach
ed resentment and retaliation they
have sought to find the cure In the
same false philosophy that led the
nations into this war--hatred, force
and fear. But here is one who,
about to suffer the extreme penalty
of military law, looks serenely at her
executiners and offers for them the
prayer that came from Calvary
Father, forgive them"
II the nations at war had dealt
with each other in this spirit, there
would have been no war, If they
would now meet each other in this
spirit the war would soon end.
If the diplomacy of the world could
only be built upon the sentiment -
must have no hatred or bitterness to-
ward anyone" universal peace would
be assured-and that is the real end
toward which we must strive If we
would promote peace.
Those who make fortunes out of
the shedding of blood-like those
who make a profit by cultivating the
appetite for drink-may be expected
to ridicule and oppose anything that
interferes with their profits, but the
doctrine of love is the growing doc
trine, and Edith Cavell's words will
give impetus to that doctrine.

Lorin c. Springer held his annual
corn contest for his tenants last Sat
urday Only one of his tenants ap-
peared with his corn, John Krick who
farms the Barnes Farms. On weigh
ing and testing his corn it was found
to show a yield of 1880 bushels to
the acre. This shows what Mercer
County black corn land will do with
proper drainage and cultivation, ey-
en- this, which was the worst year in
the memory of the oldest farmer.
A couple hundred bushels of seed
corn could easily be secured from
this field.-Rockford Press.
