Fail to See Difference.

"A government which places life and
property on an equality would be
generally condemned. and justly con-
demned. This seems to be an axiom.
and yet, ! regret to say. there are
some Americans who do not recognize
this difference. How many take this
view it is impossible to say, but the
number is large. judging by some who
sit in the halls of Congress These
people openly complain that the gov
eminent does not exert as much pres

II does to protect American lives

owners or an indemnity paid: lives.
which can never be restored or ade-
quately Unidentified.
This mental attitude makes one
wonder If the sensibilities of the Amer
'fcan people have become so blunted by
materialism that they think as much of
the loss of their property as they do
of the loss of the lives of their fellow
countrymen. Such an idea is repug-
nant TO a liberty-loving American; il
is utterly wanting in the nobler i'm
pulses of a great people: it is hostile
