it was not caused oy a spark from

from under the roof and the train was

that it had been raining makes it
more or less improbable that the

A number of Adams people are of
the opinion that someone in the

carelessly dropped match or cigar

THE VOTERS PSALM

The politician is my shepherd: l shall not want. He Ieaderh me into the saloons for my votes sake, he filleth my pockets with cigars, my beer runneth over. He 'nquireth after my family, even unto the third and fourth generation. Yea though I walk through the rain and mud to vote for him and shout myself hoarse, when elected he straight way forgetteth me. I met him m his own house and he knoweth me not. Surely the wool has been pulled over my eyes. will some one please wake me. Con- tributed.

 For nearly a year these views have, as opportunity offered, been presented to the President, the senate, the house and the country. Do you approve of them? If so, present them in your own language, and with such elaboration as you like to those who, as your representa- tives, speak for you on national questions. They desire to do what you want done. If you. failto inform them of your wish es you can not complain if a sub sidized press misleads them by misrepresenting your views.

 If you desire the thirty treaty plan applied to the dispute with Germany, say so for your repres- entatives.

ment of disputes between na- tions be postponed until normal conditions are restored and calm deliberation is possible? Post ponement would be almost cer- tain to result in an amicable set clement. Would not that be bet ter than war? Why should the nation allow itself to be forced into war to please militarists, manufacturers of munitions, or the jingo press that represents them?
 If war must come, an unneces- sary alternative, it is better to have it after this war is over after we have helped to bring this conflict to a close. and when we could have the war with the other nation with which we have our dispute. To enter this war would be to take upon ourselves the support of European mon archs and the settlement of Eu- ropean quarrels, Surely no neu- tral American could want that nation to become a supporter of either side-a course which

THE ROAD TO PEACE

want war. NO, Dy an OVer- whelming majority-almost un- animously-they desire peace. The president prays God forbid tn at this nation should enter the war;; nearly every senator and congressman expresses himself as against going into this war and, except the subsidized met ropolitan press, the entire press of the country is against war. Why. then, the constant talk of
 war? It is due to the sham standard of honor which accom-
 panies the policy of terrorism.
 The doctrine of preparedness
 rests upon the theory that force and fear are the only foundation
 upon which the hope of peace can rest, and the diplomacy of
 the world is in harmony with the system of terrorism. Present diplomacy is dressed in uniform an d carries a gun. Its tone has a rifle-ring to it. We are loath
 to disturb the friendship, but If you do not comply with our de- mands within a certain time, it will become our painful duty to blow your ships out of the water
 lombard your seaports and put to death as many of your people as possible. " This is the diplo- macy of the past and present, the diplomacy which has filled the earth with blood and tears. It is kinsman of the spear that knows no brother"- it spurns friendship as weakness.
 This is the diplomacy which led the nations of Europe into the present war, each one pro- testing it's desire for peace; and this is the diplomacy (which has brought this nation face to face with war, not withstanding the well nigh universal desire for peace.
 Is it not time for this great Christian nation to set the world an example, and establish a new precedent? If the belligerent governments can change the rules of international law to suit the exigencies of war, why can- not neutral nations change the rules of diplomacy to promote peace?
 There are three things that this government can do to pre- serve peace with honor: 1st, lay aside its threats and invite both sides to confer with it as friends real friends with whom friend ships are to continue. Let the presumption be given to peace instead of to war. Is that dis honorable? What sane sense of honor would be offered by such a policy? 2nd. And why not tly the trea- ty plan to all disputes? It was offered to all the world and the offer has not been withdrawn; it has been embodied in treaties with thirty nations representing three-fourths of the population the globe. Great Britian, France Russia and Italy are among the nations that signed these treat ies. while Germany. Austria and Belgium have formally endorsed the principle. These treaties provide that ALL DISPUTES OF EVERY KIND AND CHAR ACTER shall be investigated by an international tribunal. We are compelled by treaty to adopt this course with Great Britain. France, Russia and Italy in case of dispute. Why not adopt this course in regard to disputes with Germany, Austria and Belgium?

An Ideal Parade Day.

A more perfect day for parade
Washington has rarely seen. The re-
cent rains visiting this section of the
country have caused some fears lest the
plans for Preparedness day might be set
at naught by downpour today, but the
bright skies are smiling in evidence of
sympathy with the purposes of the dem
onstration This is fortunate, for most
of those who are marching are unaccus-
toned to this exercise and inclement
weather would sadly discommode them,
if it did not wholly deter them from
making an appearance according to
schedule.
This sort of weather is what should
be measurably guaranteed for every
great outdoor assemblage of the people
in the National Capital. If the course
of common sense were followed Inaugu-
ration day would be changed to the last
Thursday in April. when, if not assured
ly dry and fair, the day would at least
be mild. The second Wednesday in June
NAV, perhaps, be a bit too warm for
many, but it is far better than the in
clemency that is likely to prevail on
the 4th of March.

The American Flag.

The dominating factor in today's pa
rade is the American flag. This being
the birthday of the national emblem, the
occasion was well set upon this date,
and it is appropriate that the great ma
jority of the marehers should carry. in
stead of arms, the Stars and Stripes
Every flag is borne proudly, with full
sense of its meaning. II is carried as a
symbol of the nation, and a token of
the duty that lies before every citizen
to be ready to take his place in the
ranks if the need ever arises
A greater meaning attaches to the flag
today than ever before. 1t is more
highly revcrenced. Laws are being en-
acted the more surely to protect it from
dissertation. Recently in New York a
man was severely punished for an act

almost from the House. In some state
elections it has registered less than five
thousand votes. So that what we saw

Or, using another figure. it was gar
ment all frills.
But, whatever numbers bull moosery
possesses today, what sort of bid can
the democrats make for them, and how
many are likely to accept the bid if one
is made2 Nearly all are former repub-
Leans who have never voted a demo-
cratic national ticket. They assisted in
the election of Mr.. Wilson four years
ago. but not Intentionally. They be
lieved, as their leader did, that their
cause would triumph and Mr.. Roosevelt
return to the White House.
Has Mr.. Wilson as President. or his
party acting under his direction. pur-
sued course respecting either foreign
or domestic affairs acceptable to the bull
moosers. Far from it. All have agreed
with Mr.. Roosevelt, that matters could
not have been managed with results
more disastrous to the prestige of this
country; that the country should be
rescued from democratic control at the
first opportunity.
What, then. but revenge could, If any
thing could. carry the. remaining bull
me osers over to the democratic party for
this election? Nothing. The bull mooser
who votes for Mr.. Wilson in November
will do so. not because of an indorse-
ment of the Wilson performances. or of
the democratic party's promises for the
future, but solely because the repubH-
cans refused to make Mr.. Roosevelt their
standard bearer. And there cannot pos
sibly be many such.
