TRADE MARK OF TREASON.

II had rather have my son 60 to
heaven in France than 60 to hell IN
America" was the reply of Dallas
(Texas) father to one of the tribe OF
whispering traitors who ask: "Why
should we send our boys to fight in
a foreign land?"
If Germany should win the war In
France she will lose little time in
transporting her own peculiar variety
of hell to America. Herr thinner
mann's little note, that got lost, shows
she has been doing her best to bless
us with kultur even under the restrict
ed circumstances so long imposed by
the British navy and our allies who
have been holding the western front.
Men who have invested their most
precious possessions their sons-in
this war, naturally are not choice IN
their words when they reply to the
destinations of the traitors who begin
"( approve of everything the presi.
dent has done BUT" These phrases
are the trade marks of treason-no
true American has time for such talk
now.

LET'S STAND BY THE PRESIDENT

LET'S STAND By THE PRESIDENT
Not long ago President Wilson was
motoring along a Maryland road. In
turning, his limousine backed off the
highway into mire covered with
grass. The wheels of the machine
sank almost out of sight
A Baltimore man, driving a five.
ton truck came along and pulled out
the presidents car. The secret serv-
ice men offered to pay the owner of
the truck, but he declined. AS he
turned to- leave, he remarked:
1T is enough reward to be able to
get President Wilson out of a hole"
It would be fine thing for the
country if everyone of us was ami
mated by the spirit of that speech
Unfortunately there are certain un.
patriotic senators in congress, certain
p1o-German editors, and orators whose
motto seems to be-
1T is enough reward to be able to

Their efforts are becoming more
patent every day. They are eclipsing
the record of the copperhcads during
The civil war. They spent tkeic time
trying to block everything the presi-
dent is doing to win the war. They
use up their energies in trying to
make the war unpopular
They use false and specious argu.
ments, They resort to plain lying.
They do things against their own
country that no German would dare
do against Germany.
Fortunately, their very treachery is
proving its own undoing. The Amer
lean people are beginning to take
their measure. The American people
are beginning to realize whittier our
latter-day copperheads ave driving.
They realize that all this anti-war
agitation, all this hit-the, administra-
ton preachment, is simply proGer-
manism in another form. And the
bulk of the people are-quietly stand

ly they are exerting pressure in his
favor. They are showing their con-

END AUTOCRACY.

There is only one way to end the
war-that is to end the German autoc
racy
There is only one way to end the
German autocracy-that is to disarm
it..
The men who, above all others
know what constitutes the strength
of the German autocracy are the Ger
mans who have fought 1t. They are
the small minority socialist faction
formerly led by Liebknecht, now head
ed by Ledebour and Haase.
These men have presented real
basis for peace in the plan they have
adopted as their platform. 1t is not
surprising that the very first thing
in their program is DISARMAMENT.
And disarmament is the VERY
LAST THING the German autocracy
will agree to.
The only real basis for peace in
the pope's recent proposal is DIS
ARMAMENT.
DISARMAMENT is the keynote in
every one of President Wilson's ut
terances on peace and the issues Of
the war.
But ACTUAL DISARMAMENT is
meant-not PROMISE to disarm,
from a government that has shown
it keeps no promises.
That is why President Wilson will
continue to demand that the German
people GIVE SECURITY in the
shape of evacuation of France and
Belgium or the instant cessation of
submarine warfare, before any peace
conference meets. If that SECURITY
is given, peace might come tomorrow
on the understanding that DISARMA-
MENT-not merely the formation of
peace leagues or contracts, but actual
scrapping of the armies and navies--
is to take place at once.
with the mailed fist cut off, the
Hohenzollern dynasty would be hard
put to il: to survive even as a social
ornament in Germany. The whole
pane menace of a middle-Euro-
pean empire or archaeological would
evaporate as the armed forces of
Prussia melted away.
DISARMAMENT is the key to
world peace. Peace will never, come
until Germany agrees to disarm, and
gives actual security for the instant
fullfilment of the promise.
Observe this vital difference be-
tween the REAL peace plan of the
REAL German socialists, and the fake
mo annexations, no indemnities" pro-
gram put forward here and in Russia
by the agents of kaiserism.
This thing is mere sham, designed
to save the Hohenzollern autocracy
and preserve the Prussian military
system under the sonorous pretense
of leaving every nation to work out
its own destiny" ,
Russia for time was duped, and
the price she paid was fearful. The
debt is not all liquidated yet.
The best proof Of the pro-Prussian-
ism of the American pacifists and ma
jority socialists is that their peace
plan" is directly opposed to the
peace plan" of the real socialists in
Germany.
La Follette's resolution and the
whole output of pacifist spouters in
this country comedies exactly with
the program of the Socialists" in
Germany, who are denounced by the
real socialists there as kaiser social.

Evidently there are Germans who
know the breed-even if Americans
find some difficulty in spotting it.

The Marion county sheriff got gay
with the governor the other day and
refused to discharge a deputy against
whom charges had been filed with the
chief executive. The governor hap
pened into Ocala the first of the week
and investigated the reliability of the
parties making the charges. He then
called the sheriff in and gave him
fifteen minutes to dispose of the dep
uty's services or Marion county would
get a new sheriff. The deputy went
and the sheriff had plenty of time to
spare.-Arcadia Enterprise.
There was no such occurrence.
When Governor Cats came to Ocala,
after attending to some other mat
tiers, he asked one of his friends to
arrange an interview between him
and Sheriff Galloway. The interview
took place and the governor was very
courteous to the sheriff. There was
no peremptory language passed. AS
the deputy referred to had resigned
his position day or two beforehand
there was no opportunity for the Is
minute threat. At the close of the
interview, the governor promised to
send the sheriff copies of the affidavits
in the case. Now, let's see if the En-
terprise has the fairness to correct
its misstatement.
