but they forget 1t does satisfy those
who believe the United States should
live up to the principles 1t has pro-
fessed for a century and more.
National Honor.
In desperation for a slogan our op-
ponents try to create an issue out of
national honor.
Now national honor is not the within
of an individual mind.
National honor is the composite SEN
whole people feeling the emotions of
nature and following the dictates of
God.
And II Is for this reason that "the
power" to declare war is conferred
by the Constitution of the United
States, not on the individual will o.
president, but on the composite rea-
son. the representative decision of
the congress of the United States"
The genius of this country is for
peace. There is no danger of mill.
tarism.
We have built our greatness on the
resources Of nature and the peace
full toll of our people.
With us war has never been a
choice, 1t has always been a fate.
Like the old Mohawk chief who
loved peace, we would like to throw
the tomahawk of war so high in the
sky that no mans hand could ever
pull 1t down. But when some other
tribe among the races of men sends
US a bundle of arrows wrapped in
the skin of rattlesnake, we want to
be in a position to send that rattle
snakes skin back stuffed with powder
and with ball.
We deprecate the compulsion but
we recognize the need of the police
man on the beat, the safe in the
bank and the watchdog on the farm.
The war across the seas has
brought home to us the fear that so
long as men are men and nations ma
lions. wars will continue.
For these reasons this administra-
ton has done more for our army and
our navy than any administration in
our history.
The Democratic party advocates and
seeks preparedness, but 1t is prepared
ness for defense, not preparedness
for aggression.
Our National Soul.
These, then, are the principles that
have been asserted and followed by
the president Of the United States
during the past two years-that the
United States shall not embroil IT.
self in European strife. that the Unit
ed States shall endeayor to maintain
friendly and cordial relations with ev-
cry other nation and that the United
States shall firmly assert and main

When Jefferson was president Eng

Napoleon hundreds more.
But we didn't go to war. Jefferson
settled our troubles by negotiation.
When Adams was president France
preyed upon our commerce until she
had piled up in our state department
charges of over 1900 violations Of
neutrality's law.
But we didn't go to war. Adams
settled our troubles by negotiation.
When Washington was president
and, neutrality" first declared, war
convulsed Europe. England and
France seized 400 of our ships and
confiscated millions of dollars worth
of our property.
But we didn't go to war. Wash

In his policy Of peaceful negotia'

ed States follows the example set him
by the greatest presidents the Demo
cratic party and the greatest presi'
dents the Republican party ever gave
this nation.
Policy Of Negotiation.
ITO maintain our national honor by
peace II we can, by war If we must, "
is the motto of the president of the
United States.
But before submitting to the chance
and misery Of war, true statesman
that he is, he proposes to put the rea-
son and justice of negotiation to the
test.
But, say our critics, this policy sat
isles no one.
They mean 1t does not satisfy those

Uric Acid Poisoning :?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present il
the joints, muscles. or nerves. BY ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, y. Y, DR.. Pierce discovered a
combination of native remedies that
he called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain, swelling and infiamma-
ton subside. If you are a sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there. you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than lithia and
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.

AGREE TO DISCARD FOOTWEAR
Natives of the Golden State Have
Formed a League Which Is Some
what Unconventional.

Harking back to the dsys when man
roamed carelessly across green pas
lures unshackled by costly footwear !;
when cool. solid comfort met the ma
ked foot at every step. and when corns
and buniOns were unLeard of, four
what is TO be known as the Sacra-
mento Barefoot league, says a CORE
spondent.
There are four charter members of
the league, all residents Of Yardley
avenue, and they are DIR. Robert f..
Smith, James Mccullough, l.. o. Ium-
~ and Steve Downey.
The league was organized in quite
an unintentional way. Which of the
four was the originator is unknown
But ii is intimated that Doctor Smith,
for several years advocate OF the Coat
less Summer league for men, had
something TO do with ii.
Al any rate, the league has had sew
eral meetings. The requirements of
the league are these: No member must
be too modest To display his bare feet.
He must be without pedal covering
in attending meetings. He must be
willing 10, and enjoy, walking en- his
lawn before the assembled multitude,
including his wife, unShOd.
He must be willing To step into his
neighbor's house in his bare feet and
walk across his neighbours hardwood
floors as nonchalantly as though he
were PithecanthrOpus in the jungles.
Several meetings of the league have
been held at the homes of the various
charter members of Yardley avenue.
The meetings are preceded by cool
walk upon the lawn of the host. AS
the evening becomes cool and members
retire TO the hosts drawing room and
are entertained with photograph Sc
lectiOns.
Despite serious objections TO the
league on the part of the better halves
in some of the homes, the organization
has grown and is now reaching out for
cOngenial spirits.
Keep cool and comfortable and cure
your corns,' is the slogan of the
league.
