are virtually the same. as stated IN
general terms to their own people and
to the world. Each side desires to
make the rights and privileges of weak
peoples and small states as secure
against aggression or denial in the fu-
t,,re as the rights and privileges of the
great and powerful states now at war.
Each wishes itself to be made secure
in the future, along with all other ma
tions and peoples. against the recur-
renee of wars like this. and against
aggression of selfish interference of
any kind. Each would be jealous of
the formation of any more rival leagues
to preserve an uncertain balance Of
power amid multiplying suspicious;
but each is ready to consider the for
nation of league of nations to insure
peace and justice throughout the world.
Before that final step can be taken,
however, each deems it necessary first
to settle the issues of the present war
upon terms which will certainly safe
guard the independence, the territorial
integrity and the political and CONNER
cial freedom of the nations involved.

America Vitally Interested.

'In the measures to be taken to

States are as vitally and as directly in
, terested as the governments now at
war Their interest, moreover, in the
means to be adopted 10 relieve the
smaller and weaker people of the world
of the peril of wrong and violence is as
quick and ardent as that of any other
people or government. They stand
ready, and even eager, to cooperate in
the accomplishment of these ends, when
| the war is over, with every influence
and resource at their command But
| the war must first be concluded. The
terms upon which it is to be concluded
| they are not at liberty to suggest: but
the President does feel that it is his
right and his duty to point out their
intimate interest in its conclusion. lest
it should presently be too late to &C
compiish the greater things which lie
be yon,l it's conclusion; lest the situation
of neutral nations, now exceedingly
hard to endure, be rendered altogether
intolerable, and lest. more than all, IN
injury be done civilization itself which
can never be atOned for repaired.
THE President therefore feels alto
getker justified in suggesting an imme-
diate opportunity for a comparison Of
views as TO the terms which must pre-
cetie those ultimate arrangements for
the peace of the world, which all desire
and in which the neutral nations as
well those at war are ready to play
their full responsible part. If the con-
test must continue to proceed toward
underlined ends by slow attrition until
the one group of belligerents or the
other is exhausted, if millions after
millions Of human lives must continue
to be offered up until on the one side

Burden on All the World.

"rhc life of the entire world has
been profoundly affected. Every part
of the great family of mankind has felt
the burden and terror of this unpre-
cedented contest of arms. No nation in
the civilized world can be said in truth
to stand outside its influence or to be
safe against it's disturbing effects. And
yet the concrete objects for which il IS
ly stated.

objects in general terms. But stated in
general terms, they seem the same on
both sides. Never yet have the authofl-
tative spokesmen of either side aNoW-
ed the precise objects which would, II
attained, satisfy them and their people
that the war mad been fought out. fhe
world has been left to conjecture what
definite results, what actual exchange
of guarantees, what political or terri
torial changes or adjustments, what
stage of military success even, would
bring the war to an end.
"It may be that peace is nearer than
we know; that the terms which the
belligerents on the one side and on the
other would deem it necessary to m
sist upon are not so irreconcilable as
some have feared; that an interchange
of views would clear the way, at least

Seven o'clock is too early for a senior

Hatfield And The Negro

In Mcdowell county DR.. Henry
d. Hatfield poses as the friend OF
the negro. There are about five
thousand colored men in that
county who regularly vote the
Republican ticket. Hatfield the
man-killer, we have been told
by the Wheeling Intelligencer, is
lone of a precious trio" who
round up the negroes and dis
pose of their votes" But has
he not been deceiving the black
men in his professions of affec-
ton for them, in posing as their
champion?
In addressing the Mcdowell
county negroes during the cam
paign he told them that there is
no county in the state in which
ele lions are more honestly con-
Quoted than in Mcdowell. He
declared in effect that the negro
vot, is not venaI, and that it can
not be driven or purchased. But
he now charges that one thous-
and negroes were imported into
Marion county to illegally vote
the Democratic ticket and to re-
peat on election day. He makes
the direct accusation that negroes
sold themselves that for few
paltry dollars they not only be-
trayed the party to which they
have been unwavering loyal, but
that they have violated the law
in doing it.
Democrats have accused ne
cused negroes of voting illegally
and of repeating, but this friend
and defender of the negro goes
step farther and not only accuses
them of felonious acts, but
charges them with selling out
their party. A question which
naturally suggests itself is
whether or not experience in
handling negro voters warrants
his sweeping assertion that they
can be bought up by the whole
sale to vote the Democratic tick
ct. Register.
