ILLINOIS JURIST MAKES
WARS ISSUE PLAIN

When you are sure you are
being forced into fight, not of
your own seeking, then, like
man of action, choose your
most advantageous battle
ground. Don't let the aggressor
make his choice.
We are sending an army over
to the war to prevent the war
from coming over to US; to pre-
vent any war at any time in the
future from coming over to US.
We must pay in blood the in
terest on the Indebtedness Of
blood we owe to our forefathers
for making this land free.
Those among US who are quail
flied by youth, vigor and GAL
Iantry, will spring at this task
gladly. Those who are left be-
hind must sadly stand at the
seashore with consecrated
hearts; and with uplifted hands
must dedicate to our loved ones
all our earthly possessions and
ferventIy send to heaven our
hopes and our prayers for their
speedy return. The world must
be made safe.-Judge Lockwood
Honore of Chicago.

Communication

The second refusal of the majority Of
the school board to elect Mr. Beal princi-
pal of the High school causes many citi-
Zens to deplore the condition arising 1t
is understood that the only reason offered
is that 'all the pupils don't pass as
ridiculous and untenable reason as
could be imagined outside the probable
one-personal and political dislike which
comes about because Mr. Beal does not
care to cater to a hob-nob with certain
men. Taxpayers will not be anxious to
contribute toward the support of a High
school the standard of which will be de-
cidedly lowered morally and physically il
any such scheme is allowed to prevail
The superintendent of schools is authority
for the statement that the standing and
success of Mr.. Beal as a teacher and prn-
cipal cannot be questioned. 1t is freely
predicted that the political aspirations of
certain members of the school board will
receive a sudden Jolt at the first oppor-
tunity presented The worst feature Of
the whole trouble is the fact that the
boys and girls whom the city is educating
are the ones to most directly suffer from
this unjust and prejudiced action OF the
school board. "CITIXEN."
