TIME FOR TEMPERANCE.

President Wilson, acting under au- thority conferred upon by congress. yesterday proclaimed tat a state of war exists between the United States and Germany. The proclamation also contains regulations for the conduct of the people of United States-citi- zens and aliens.
 This changes the situation that Ina !; existed in America since the ou.- break of the European war. It might be well for the alien to remember this at all times. Where once Amer jeans might have argued about the European war; may have criticised the Washington government, now they are a united nation, and will fol- low to the end the leadership of Woodrow Wilson, commander-in chief of the armed forces of the United States. And woe unto the man who now attempts to uphold the common enemy in word or deed.
 This is a time for temperance. 1t is time when we sbould be tenn perate-temperate not only in drink ing and eating, but temperate in thought, word and deed
 Americans must be temperate in dealing with those Who may have relatives in Germany, and those who may sympathize with Hohenzollern- ism because of ties of kinship with subpect of that dynasty must be tem- perate in language in order not to provoke Americans.
 The alien who conducts himself properly will be accorded full pro- lection, but it is certain that aliens who are enjoying the benefits, pro- tection and privileges accorded resi- dents under the Stars and Stripes will bring trouble upon themselves by incendiary language. such as som- have been wont to give vent to in the days before America hoisted the bat tie flag against the German monarch and for democracy, humanity and American rights.
