Good God No wonder there is so much
oratorical and editorial beating about the
bush
No wonder there are so many differences
among the orators and the editors.
Believing that our view Of the law Of legal
notice is sound, we have a perfect right to
wage naval warfare against Germany, and to
seize her subjects and her vessels; but as to
engaging in the land-war, in Europe, we have
no justification, and common sense condemns
it.
Orators and editors are prating about
carrying liberty to the whole world,' at a
time when the Conscript law is Stacking ten
million young Americans, and when the
President is demanding the power to say
what every American must do with his own
bread and meat
Such orators and editors evidently believe
In the infinite capacity of the people to con-
sumo fiction, believe fables, and follow jack

JUDGING from the mail we have been re-
> celvlng for the past two weeks, everything
that can walk and carry a gun is to be con-
sc1pted into active service In the Z. S. Army
Or Navy.
Some of our folks can't understand why we
should be so horribly upset, when the enemy
hasn't gotten to our shores, and doesn't show
any sign Of trying to come.
The MAJ ority of us love the place we call
home; we don't know a great deal about the
customs that prevail in other countries, and
the new rule of militarism that seems to be
about to become an American institution. is
puzzhng to us.
We have heard great deal of Separation
of Church and State;" we don't realize that
the present war in Europe, in which we must
soon take an active part, was brought about
just because there was no separation of the
two-and the Roman Catholic church was the
church that brought on this greatest slaughter
in history.
