STATESMEN WITHOUT JOBS

II Is wonderful how many statesmen
there are in this country. who hay'
no jobs. There are people withou
number who could run the country 81
much better than the president, whC
could give Hoover the odd trump and
then show him how to fight the high
cost Of living. and who could show
Black Jack how TO land an army in
France with one hand tied. If they
only had the chance, says the Carson
Weekly.
Probably the worst Of these pa.
triots are those who are willing TO
stand up and fight the Germans. pro
viding they may conduct the fighting,
and especially IL they may tell the
enemy how. when and where TO fight.
They say they-would go to any Length
TO repel invasion, but are unalterably
opposed TO going across the ocean to
fight. The fact that the other side of
the water is where the fighting is be-
ing done; that there is a powerful and
aggressive nation. with the most won
derful military organization in the
world has ever known, running amuck
and threatening to bGng all other ma.
tons under subsection, and with some
chance OF doing II, seems TO have been
overlooked. These deep thinkers, wise
statesmen, and military experts arc
prone TO disregard the fact that Amer.

carrying American citizens, in waters
where they had a perfect right TO go
has declared war on the Teutonic al
lies. The declaration having been
made, II is too late to discuss the why's
and the wherefores. The fact that We
arc at war shuts out all other con
siderations. Whether the presiden
and congress were right or wrong ha:
nothing to do with the case. We hav,
entered this titantic struggle. ant

make the correction. Should we lose
and without the support of our peopl,
we surely will lose, then the fate O

speech will be gone. Liberty of actor
will be a thing OF the past. The very
right which those opponents OF In,
war most enjoy, that OF criticism o

America, should the Prussians prevail
will become province. The war, now
that We are In 1t, must be fought to Z
conclusion, and must be fought wher,
the enemy Is. 1t would be much easier
doubtless, and less unpleasant, il the
enemy would come over in small par
ties and let us kill them, few hun

won't do IT. II we wait until they ar,
