Judge A. Haidusek OF La Grange,
one Of the leading Bohemian citizens
Of Texas and for many years a men,
Der Of the board of directors Of A. and
M. College, is standing %squarely be-
hind President Wilson in the present
crisis. Judge Haidusek is the editor
Of Svoboda, the leading Bohemian pa
per Of the state, and the following is
an editorial appearing in the current
issue Of that publication:
"The legislative record shows that
the present legislature passed a reso-
luton expressive its approval OF
President Wilson's severingj diplo-
matte relations with the German gov
eminent, and declaring that the state
of Texas stands by the President and
10 ready to support him in his future
actions in the impending crisis.
III we taken into consideration the
existing conditions Of. u country
which are threatening to plunge the
United States into the European war,
and the masterful ann in which
the President kept the United States
out OF that war, we are bound to ad-
mire his patience and wisdom with
which he has adjusted all disputed
questions at issue between the Unit.
ed States and the warning nations OF
Europe.
There. Is no record In the history
Of this country showing that any one
OF the presidents Of the United States
has ever had to deal with such com
plicated and serious questions as
those that President Wilson has beer
called upon to decide. and at no time
since the creation OF the Union ha:
any one OF It's presidents ever beer
subjected to such grave responsible
ties as those that are resting upor
President Wilson. but his patienc,
and cool deliberation enabled him 4
arrive at conclusions generally prov
ing to be correct.
by such actions the Presiden
gained full confidence of all the PEG
pie that are actuated by purely patri
otto motives and have at heart IN,
welfare Of this country and are read,
to support the President In his futur,
actions. President Wilson has sue
ceeded In adjusting satisfactorily al
the disputed questions: therefore h
should not be blamed for severinI
diplomatic relations with the German
government. because that government,
having violated It's agreements witt
President Wilson. forced him to d
what he has done.
In view OF these occurrences ever
true American citizen should supper
the President. Anyone refusing to d
no Is not a desirable citizen OF thi
country; there Is no room for hir
here. Existing conditions indicat
that the United States may at an
time be plunged into a war with on
OF the powerful nations OF EuropI
well equipped in every way. Sue
conditions demand n concerted actio
OF all American citizens. Therefor,
let our motto be, All for enc and on
for ALL
I'VE should remember that eve,
citizen OF this country is an indepcn
ent part OF our government and I
such Il Ia HIS sacred duty to defer
his government and his country. MOI
but towards would refuse to do 8
Such are unworthy to enjoy the pr
lection which our government affor,
TO It's loyal citizens.
SHOULD a war break out. let us n
shirk our sacred duty. but let all III
are able voluntarily offer their ser
Ices to the government. Sooner
later We all must die and should a
of us be so unfortunate as to lose o
life In a battle. that would be the b,
evidence that by offering our life 1
u loved ones and our beloved cot
try we have done our duty"
