not privilege which we ourselves en-
joy which we would deny any other
nation in the world, If there is one
thing that the American people love
and believe in more than another, il
is peace, and all the handsome things
that belong to peace.
~ hope that you will bear me out
in saying that / have proved that ]
am partisan of peace; and l would
be ashamed to be belligerent and impa-
tent when the fortunes of my whole
country and happiness of all my fell
lew-countrymen were involved. But
/ know that peace is not always with
in the chcioe of the nation, and want
to remind-and remind you very sol
emnly-of the double obligation you
have laid upon me. ] know you have
laid it upon me because am constant
ly reminded of it in conversation, by
letter, in editorial, by means of every
voice that writes me out of the body
of the nation. You have laid upon me
this double obligation: we are rely
ing upon you, Mr.. President, to keep
us out of this war, but we are rely
ing upon you, Mr.. President, to keep
the honor of the nation unstained.'
Must Be Ready
"Do you not see that time may
come when it is impossible to do both
of these things? Do you not see that if
| am to guard the honor of the nation
] am not protecting it against itself,
for we are not going to do anything
to stain the honor of our own coun-
try? am prtecting it against things
that 1 cannot control, the action of
others. And where the actions of
others may bring us l cannot foretell.
You may count upon my heart and res
olution to keep you out of the war,
but you must be ready if it is neces-
sary that l should maintain your
honor. That is the only thing that a
real man loves about himself.
"Some men who are not real men
love other things about themselves,
but the real man believes that his hon.
or is dearer than his life; and ma
ton is merely all Of us put together,
and the nations honor is dearer than
the nations comfort and the nations
peace and the nations life itself. So
that we must know what we have
thrown into the balance; we must
know the infinite issues which are
impending every day of the year, and
when we go to bed at night and when
we rise in the morning, and at every
interval of the rush of business, we
must remind ourselves that we are
part of great body polite in which
are vested some of the highest hopes
of the human race.
"Why is it every nation turns to us
with the instructive feeling that if
anything touches humanity it touches
us? Because it knows that ever
since we were born as nation we
have undertaken to be the champions
of humanity and of the rights of men.
Without that ideal there would be
nothing to distinguish America from
her predecessors in the history of ma
tons. Why is it that men that love
liberty have crowded to these shores
Why is it that we greet them as they
enter the great harbor at New York
with that majestic Statute of Liberty
holding up a torch, whose visionary
dreams are supposed to spread abroad
over the waters of the world, and to
say to all men, come to America
where mankind is free and where we
love all the works of righteousness
and of peace ;"

How Mr.. Davis Got Rid of a Bad
Cough

"Some time ago l had a very bad
cough" writes Lewis 7. Davis, Black

ing this bought half dozen bottles
of it but only used one of them as the
cough left me and I have not been

Beaten Up, Fires
Without Notice

Following shooting ARRAY in the
hallway of the Reno hotel, lodging
house at Thirteenth and Douglas
streets, a threatening crowd surged
around Detectives Dunn and Kenel-

Walter Carrier, or Murphy, as he
was known at the hotel, was armed
with 32-caliber revolver, which he
discharged three times at Jack Demp-
sey, who was hit in the abdomen by
one of the bullets. Dempsey, who is
said to be an |. w. w., was taken to
St. Joseph's hospital by Police Sur
geons Shook and Kulakofsky, where
an examination showed that he was
seriously injured, but would probably
recover.
The hotel people say that Carrier,
who registered as Murphy. had had
trouble with a crowd of men earlier
in the week and had been beaten up
few nights ago by gang of
l. w. WIS led b. Dempsey, and thai
