 We Must Win This War

Thru the three years that the war has been raging in Eur ope the real object of the Ger man Imperial Government have gradually become known to the American people. The Gerard articles now being pub lished in a number of periodi- calls over the country furnish the last proofs needed by the hitherto unpersuaded, to con- vince them that this war must be won by the United States and her allies in order to make the world safe for democracy, and to permit the onward pro- gress of civilization. Victory at the hands of Germany would mean the ultimate subjection of the entire world to a Prussian despotism. A peace without decisive victory, could mean nothing but another period of preparation in which Germany would aim to correct her for mer mistakes and proceed in surer way to victorious con- quest of which she has been robbed by the entrance of Eng land first and finally the Unit ed States in the present war. Victory by the allies will mean the overthrow of Prussianism and the establishment of a rep resentative government in Ger many that will make the settle ment of international problems by a central congress proDa- bility of the near future. The cost of such a victory during the next few years will be small compared to the cost of de- feating a further Prussianized German Empire five or ten years hence. We must win this war and win it now, if the prin- ciples upon which our popular government is founded are tobe allowed to live. We are fighting for the right of popular govern ment, for the rights of small nations, to avenge the wrongs of insulted wom&nhood and de- filed motherhood, against the enslavement of free peoples, and for the safety of our own nation and that of our sister American republics. We Must win and we are going to win, tho the cost may be great.

IS THIS SEDITION?

burst forth, last week, with a violent pro-German attack up- on the American nation in it's conduct of the war against Germany. It inferred that the present war is being conducted without the endorsement of the American people, protested at the suppression of I. w. w. and German papers in this country, that have been opposing the draft, and urged that this na- ton should rush to accept Ger many's forthcoming peace pro- posal, altho the terms of that proposal are not yet known.
 As matter of fact, the American people are more sol idly behind the government in the prosecution of the present war, than they ever were back of the government in a previous war. The work of the great American melting pot is more nearly complete than ever be- fore, altho there are disloyal ones, still, who are ready to give aid and comfort to the en- emy.
 Today, the German agents in this country are conducting an active campaign of publicity against the selective draft, and they have gathered about them the traitorous element of the Industrial Workers of the World, and thru them are en- deavoring to give their treas onable activity the cloak of in- dustrial opposition to the war The effort that is being made to hinder the American nation in an energetic prosecution of the present war, by creating sentiment against the eXer- else of the draft, is sedition bordering on treason. It should be borne in mind that the selec- tive draft is now war measure passed by an overwhelming majority of Congress and en- dorsed by President Wilson and that he who now opposes the draft is aligning himself with the enemy. Papers that now op- pose the draft merit suppress sion, and individuals spreading the propaganda merit severe treatment at the hand of the federal law.
 He who favors peace at this stage of our war with Germany when the only peace yet pos sible is a German peace eith- CT is woefully ignorant of the cause of the present war and the things for which the United States and her allies are fight ing, or else has played into the hands of German agents or of the seditious element in the l. w. w. America is in this war to protect her rights on the seas, to right the wrongs of the small nations that have been ruthlessly trampled under the heel of Prussianism, and to make the world safe for dem- vcracy. A peace that does not
 secure these, is not a peace but a truce, after which yet more terrible war would of necessity follow.
 The American people are back of the government in the prosecution of this just wal against the Imperial German Government, the seditious pa
 pers that have been suppressed
 merited yet severer treatment
 and no German peace shall be
 accepted while America has A the power to srike blow fol
 justice.

CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR.

The internal revenue department Of
the United States has made public fig-
ures from its 1915 report which def
nitely and conclusively dispose Of one
Of the stock arguments of the liquor
interests, namely. that prohibition does
not prohibit and that with the growth
of dry territory the consumption Of
liquor increases. Notwithstanding in
dications on every hand to the con-
trary, Journals Of the liquor trade,
anti-prohibition platform orators and
writers Of liquor publicity articles in
the general press reiterate the state
nent that legislation has not had, and
never will have, any effect upon the
amount Of liquor consumed. The statis-
tics given out by the internal revenue
department, to the effect that the in
ternal revenue tax on spirituous
liquors is decreasing at the rate of ST.
25O,OOO every month, most effectively
dispose Of these falsifications.
