SOCIALISTS AND THE FLAG.

As radicals we are on principle opposed to war

The loss Of liberty is than war The de-

mean democracy's dereat and imminent peril every

mankind. and without a code of morals except that
of brute strength would be than war.
With all of these ilimitable disasters the world
is menaced in the Eruption of Germany.

agreements to the value of scrap of paper that
has stabbed the of peace by twice refusing
arbitration and insisting upon the war it had

has violated every international law, every human
right and every sense of decency in its mad ambi-

In. perfect accord with it's barbarous creed and

may do to maintain the security and defend the
life of the republic.
We denounce the action of the so-called radicals
in the United States that betrayed the world

comfort to its enemies everywhere. We declare
that men are unworthy to call themselves radical

A COMPARISON.

Yesterday morning the state University called
special convocaton for the purpose of giving its
students the opportunity of hearing John spargo
noted editor and Socialist leader lecture the
principles of socialism. We do not suppose that
this meets with the approval of every citizen in the
state. We nearly certain that there some
who consider the socialstic doctrines rank heresy'
and disapprove of the idea of permitting OF
this cult to explain its working principles young
minds in their formative period. 1t would appear
however, that the State University is to be COM
mcnded for it's liberality of view
The students of the university doubtless
greatly benefited by Mr.. spargos lecture. 1t

ism and sociastic principles than they could OBJ

vidual idea of socialism is must not blind our
selves to the fact that # is of the forces at

our world owes it himself to study socialism, or
any other theory which is being advanced for the

Directly opposed to the liberal policy of the state
University is that of the world-renowned school,
Columbia University. BY virtue of the fact that
il is a privately endowed school a minded,
hgoted set of trustees refused TO grand Count Leo
Tolsoy permission to lecture on the works of his
father. True, Tostoy is nihilist and pacifist
and probably might have said things which
would have grated the seventeenth century
minds Of the trustees but the students should not
have been deprived of the opportunity to hear his
doctrines to learn Of the life and achieve
lnens of his famous forcbcar and to think these
matters over for themselves. Tostoy might be Il
member of the Russian nhilist., but You blame
him? The conditions under which he and his poo-

so mysteriously from this city sever
al months ago and who it was thought
by some had been put out of the way
by being foully dealt with, was locat-

Sheriff Mark Hoppough.
After his disappearance a warrant
was sworn out for his arrest on a
charge of neglect to support his fam
lily, by the late Jerome Lavery.
Mr.. Hoppough and the sheriff's
force have been keeping tab on every
clue which developed as to his where

located him. A new warrant was is
sued by Justice Spencer and he was
brought here Monday. The court
bound him over for trial in the cir

ORLEANS TOWNSHIP
BOY GIVES VIEWS OF
THE WORLD WAR
ORLA BROWN, 14-YEAR-OLD LAD,
WRITES PAPER. DESIRES TO
EXPRESS HIMSELF

Orla l.. Brown, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. S. Brown of Orleans township, is
in the war. The lad is on
ly fourteen years old and attends the
Chittle school. Purely from a desire
to write his views on the present war
young Brown prepared an article
which he called the "War of the Ma
tions." Here is what Orla has written:
War of the Nations
Regarding this great war of the ma
tions we do not realize what it is to
be or may mean TO US.
The next few years may be very
hard times because of the present war.
We should stop and think that this
war may be very long and trying,
with much expense. All over the world
there may be the cry of starvation and
poverty. Everyone should plant ev-
cry inch of ground.
Think of the thousands of young
men who have enlisted in the army
and navy service of the United States.
They are a great band of patriotic,
loyal, youths, ready to defend their
country. at a moments warning.
Think of the many American sold
iers whose lives may be lost in this
struggle, whose lives may be sacri-
feed for the love of their country,
Think what these lives mean to US,
Suppose that some Of them should be
killed in a battle, which we hope will
not happen. Many homes might then
be saddened by never being able to
welcome their loving father or sons
home again.
Of the people who have come here
from across the sea they should be
as loyal to United States as natural
born citizens. If they come here to
the United States they come with the
intention of getting a better living
and of earning more money. Why
then should they stand up for the cen
trail powers in this war. They should
not. If they do not want to stand W
for Uncle Sammy then they should
be driven from the United States. II
they are mean enough to insult the
United States flag and government
then, "Back with them" They SHOULD
be loaded no ship and carried back
to where they came from if they think
it is better than the United States
They should be branded a traitor tC
this country.
But let us hope that no United
States soldiers be killed and that
an end to war may be brought about
there by and peace reign over the
whole world.
Let our motto be- Worldwide
peace, liberty and union, now and for
ever" Orla l.. Brown.

FISHING WITH DYNAMITE
CAUSES BAD ACCIDENT

A distressing accident occurred
near Moseley last Thursday morning,
i'm which Thomas Condor, son of VIM.
T. Condor, of Lowell, and Frank
Keech, storekeeper at Moseley, came
near being killed outright.
The men went fishing on a small
lake, about two miles from the village,
and carried along some dynamite
sticks for the purpose of dynamiting
the fish. In an attempt to set one of
them off a premature explosion oc-
Cured, tearing one of Condon's arms
off and injuring him about the head
and face so badly it is expected he will
lose both eyes. Keech who was evil
IDENTIFY standing behind Condor, was
knocked down by the blast, which
threw Condor backward into the bow
of the craft also, where he fell un-
conscious.
A large hole was torn through the
stern of the boat, which would prob
ably have been sunk, had not the
weight of the unconscious men in the
bow raised the hole above the water
line.
Arthur Byrne, who lived short
distance from the lake heard the ex-
plosion and saw a man in the boat
endeavoring to get up and fall back.
He ran around 10 that side Of the lake,
waded out and found the men one on
top of the other in the bow of the boat.
The men were taken to their homes
and Mr.. Condor was given medical
attention at once. His injuries were
severe, but it is thought he will live.
