The War Referendum

The demand for national referen-
dun on the question of war with Ger
many seems to he what a New York
paper calls it, 1.-The expiring gasp of
German propaganda in the United
States" The men and women most
prominent in pressing the demand
are apparently honest paciflsts, but
the moral and financial support back
OF the movement is said to be largely
German. ~. .. ----.....e @ {
This, it must be admitted, is one of
the least Objectionable forms that the
German propaganda has taken. 1t is
not illegal. Perhaps it cannot even
be called un- merican. 1t makes its
appeal through Il distinctly popular
principle of American politics. And
yet this movement stands accused Of
insincereity and absurdity,
Ours is a government of the people,
by the people, for the people but it is
not a government by universal refer
endum and never can be. The people
have given into the hands of congress
the power to make war. There is no
constitutional authority to submit n
war decision to the people.
There is no legal or moral reason
why. an unofficial referendum may
not be held, for the information of
congress. But neither is there any
reason to think that congress needs
such advice on this subject. The CON
gressmen know what the country
thinks. They know what their con-
stituents want. They haven't had
their eyes and ears shut for the last
two years.
The referendum in question is un-
necessary. And it is mischievous, be-
cause it is calculated to bring delay
and confusion into situation where
clearness and readiness for prompt
action are necessary to protect our
vital interests and honor.-Fort Col
lins Courier.

Too Much Reform

Mr.. Curran and Mr.. McMannus
spent their Saturday half holiday in
artistic pursuits. Among the objects
examined was a fine new public build
ing. The feature of this building that
appealed most strongly to Mr.. Curran
was an inscription cut into huge
stone.
"MDCCCNLN1II," he read aloud.
"Whatdoes them letters name. Tim?'
That replied cultured Mr. Nc
Mannus, Stands for 1898 -
oh" replied Mr.. Curran. Then,
after thoughtful pause, he added:
Don't yeZ think. Tim, that they're

Mr.. David Smith of the White

OF the following which needs no ex-
planation. Our churches and citizens
have already contributed literally to
the relief of the Belgians and other
peoples made destitute by the FUR

help is still pressing:

DEAR MIR. LuMBERMAN-Would-
MT it be II great pleasure and salts
faction to you to know that you were
instrumental in saving the life of one
little child"

Dealers association, in convention as
sembled, passed resolution request
ing each lumberman to contribute .
per cent of their gross sales for the

of these children are going hungry,
and hundreds dying, for the lack of
food to nourish their little bodies.
Send your contributions as prompt

yer, Colorado, who will keep a strict
record of same, and each month for

see that this contribution goes for the
purpose intended, without one cent S
expense, and that every cent contrib
uted will be used to buy food and
medicine for those thousands of suf-
fering starved children.
Try to get business men interested
in this work. Part of our prosperity
is, to n certain extent. caused by their
adversely. Yours respectfully,
