TIRE INTERPRETATIONS PROPAGANDA.

THE INTERPRETATIONS PROPAGANDA
 The explosion of bomb in the capitol at Washington nd the attempt to kill P Morgan are the natural and ogical results of the partisan propaganda carried this country in behalf of Germany And just ertain group of American newspapers charged by Theodore Roosevelt with the responsibility for the assas nation of President Mckinley, so the GermanAmerican ewspapers must be held largely responsible for this ecent outrage
 These newspapers. Of course have not advocated vo ,nce But their bitter duncations of our government nd teir fragrant misrepresentatons the subject Of ar supplies lead inevitably to that end through the un attling of and breeding minds like Frank Hots It is absurd and unjust talk of conspiracy in con ection with this case But the organized activity of ecent months been type almost certain to arouse ooner or later an epidemic terrorism by providing ausibe motive to individual cranks with a penchant or criminal violence
 It is time for the bitterly partisan editors and public len who have been masquerading neutrals and paci lsts to let up their alien propaganda and admit the ruth about the munitions traffic
 It may be immoral" to sell to the Anies-it may e immoral and inhuman to manufacture and sell mpe- lerts of slaughter under any circumstances-but the ublc should demand that those who impugn public nd private honor in this matter should come into court with clean hands
 The editors and other leaders of proGeman opinion ave admitted that our citizens have legal neutral right
 sell arms to belligerents. They may not admit that would be a violation of neutrality to change policy ow. in the midst of the war under conditions that -o1ld make the act virtually an intervention Ger lany's behalf They may admit it is necessary to ustan the right of unrestricted private sale of arms and mmunton to beigerents, in order that nonmilary ations like ours if attacked by well prepared nation hall always be able obtain the of defense But here are some things, directly involving the morality
 their own position that they evade if they are lonest
 Let them admit that if the traffic is wrong, Germany erself has set us the worst example, that German manu acturers have sold guns and ammunition to begerentz
 every war since 1870; and that it the German dele ates at the last Hague Conference who blocked the nor of other nations change the rules and stop the ,anic in future wars them admit that all the talk bout tho hundreds of thousands of German soldiers filed and wounded by American shells pure bunk hat while there were some shipments of cartridges there vas not an American shell Europe until the middle ,f June and France yet fired that the claim hat "the war would have been over if it hadn't been for our arms trafic" is the yeriest nonsense.
 Let them admit that when they argue that We arr prolonging the war" they arguing not humanitar lns as parsans for quick, sharp victory for Ger many. And let them admit that if it is immoral ,' provide the material slaughter that another nation Ises we hands the blood of Begians French British and Russians slain by German ammunition made rom American cotton and copper
 It will be better for the nation and every element of it in discussing the traffic do basis of fact and honest morals rather than basis of passion an hpocrisy.
