Of state through the troubled wat
ers, but they are hampered on
every hand by those who, from
a self interest that exceeds their
loyalty, persist in throwing every
obstruction possible in the way.
This should not be, must not
be. The lives of the thousands
of young men who have responded
to their eountry's call must not
be jeopardized by the Judas at
home. 1t is time that the great
loyal majority demand that the
voice of the ojeetor and obstrue-
ZIONIST be silenced-if not one
way, then another.
There is something crooked
about a conscience that per-
sists in arraying itself against the
national conscience. Such a
Conscience" is the creature of
many and varied influences, none
of which make for the best in
terests of American life.
1t is time the reactiOnary were
silenced. The people have spok-
en-, and their verdict should be
final. The traitor to his country
should feel that eOuntry's dis
pleasure in no light degree.

WE BUILD ON ADYERsITY.

Nothing is truer than that con,
tinued and sustained prosperity
viii enervate and undermine the
physical, mental and moral STAN
ina of any people. The human
animal is all too prone to over
indulge in the good things of
life. Put a man ON his mettle to
wreSt existence from a reluctant
world, and in the effort every
fiber OF his being is necessarily
developed to the uttermOst, and
he energies an invineible speci-
men of the fighter.
So with nations. Given all that
heart can wish, and left to revel
unhindered in the indulgence of
that plenty, the national fiber
must inevitable deteriOrate.
Any crisis that jars men out of
their ease cannot fail to work
good to that people. With no
disposition to minimize the evils
of the present conflict, yet we are
bound to realize that the world
is waking up to view of life
that it had well-nigh lost. Life
is struggle, and when struggling
ceases, decay sets In.
When the smoke of the present
conflict has cleared away and the
world takes stock of results, we
will be found to have learned
many valuable lessons. One great
loss is inevitable-that of heroic
lives that must of necessity be
sacrificed This is deplorable. |
Yet these lives win have been
given in the most glorious of
eauses-the renewing and vitaliz-
ing of the life of the nations.
From the dawn of history to
the present day, sensualists have
professed to deride and scott at
the scriptural virtues of renun-
citation and self-secrifice. Yet
the decree remains as unalterable
today as when enunciated by the
Man of Gallilee, that "WhOsOey-
er loseth his life shall find it."
We of America have not yet
touched the edge of real renun-
citation. We have given only of
a superabundance. It is when the
giving assumes the nature of
sacrifice that the real good to
the people viii be realized. Shall
we, then, pray that it come not
TO usf
We repeat, the sacrifice Of life
IS deplorable, and we would it
could be averted.
There is but one greater ealam- 4
ty that could befall us, that is {

Of a photographers life could not be
