MUST WE ENTER THE WAR?

We have called attention to the fact that
there exists in this country a considerable body
of citizens, who are more intent upon the winning
of the war by the Allies than they are upon the
safety of the people of the United States.
This body of citizens are the British-Ameri-
cans, as eminently unfair to the best interests of
America as the German-Americans, and even
now they are raising their heads to whelp at Presi-
dent Wilson because he dared to say that the
both sides should state to the world the objects
for which they are continuing the war.
Considering these things, it behooves citizens
generally to ask themselves whether they want
America precipitated into the war Of either side.
1t is becoming palmer every day that there is 60
ing to be made an effort, the ultimate aim Of
which will be to ally this country with those now
fighting the Central powers. Our people must
face ruthless facts. It is up to the mothers to
decide whether they are willing for their sons to
be slain in deciding Europe's battles.
We have implicit faith in President Wilson,
and we rejoice that he has the backbone to do
what his staunchest supporters are ready to con-
denim. We have no idea that he will ever let any
group of lingo newspapers, or any bunch of pro-
~fessional partisans, stampede his government in
w q wal, lin 4lAo PSSP|S Wv A'OI "OAOs
At the same time he will do what he thinks
the people want. If the common people sit quiet
and allow it to be stated time and time again,
that they are anxious to get into the war, If they
permit false standards of national honor to be
hung around their necks, and carelessly kneel in
prayer at the obsolete altar OF arrogant patriot
ism, then it will be their fault, il their president,
one of the greatest lovers of peace in. the world,
shall conclude that it is their will, and their man.
date, that he use the armies and navies of this re-
public to settle the ancient grudges of Europe.
If the time unfortunately comes, as we frank
ly believe it may, that there shall arise in this
country a persistent demand for the president
to lend our material wealth, our national re-
sources and the blood of our youth for sacrifice to
the god of pagan peoples, the monster of war,
then we hope, as W. pray, that there shall arise
in the heart of America, a more persistent, a
more determined, and a more ~resolute purpose
on the part of the people that they shall not per.
NIT this country to champion the fortunes of any
alliance:

UNDERSTANDING REMOVES CON.
DOMINATION

1t is easy enough for some of us to condemn
other unfortunate human beings. We very often
berate them soundly about their faults which We
in our arrogant superiority do not possess. To
~criticise thoughtiessly seems to be one of the
cardinal privileges in the bill of rights of the
average American.
How common is it to hear a fellow man criti-
cised and condemned by some who do not know
the circumstances Of his life. You think of the
folks who are usually the recipient Of your dis
gust because you fancy that they are behaving
badly towards their family, or in other ways.
Recolect how many harsh things you have said
about that person, and wonder to yourself if
Others are saying those kind of things about you,
because they can't see them your way and do not
understand.
The failure of mankind as a whole to love the
sinner while hating the sin is the failure Of
Christians to make their religious belief good.
For in that respect judgement is too readily pro-
nounced upon men because they err. Detesting
the act which they do too many people are moved
to hate the actor. This should not be. Regard
less of what a man or a woman does we should
all be anxious to help that person whenever they
desire to do better. To scornfully sentence them
to eternal censure is to block the path of reforma-
ton.
some time ago we read a little verse of poetry
which expresses the idea in an excellent fashion,
under the title, "If We Only UNDERSTOOD:
Could we but draw the curtain
That surrounds each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives;
Often we should find it clearer,
Purer than we Judge we should
We would love each other better,
If we only understood.
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
All the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and pain.
Would our grim eternal roughness
Seem, l wonder, just the same?
Would we help where now we hinder?
Would we pity where we blame? d,

Signs continue to accumulate that the war is
to go on and that it will be a fight to the finish.
The thing for us to do is to mind our business,
take the chip off our shoulder and keep peace.
Just because a lot of fools are fighting in Europe
is no reason for us to get into the fray.
