The copper era and Morenci leader., 1917-06-08

We still hear the piteous cry Of children coming up out of the sea where the Lusitania went down. And l Germany has never asked forgive ness of the world.
 We saw the Sussex sunk crowded with the sons and daughters of neu- tral nations.
 We saw ship after ship sent to the | bottom-ships of mercy bound out of America for the Belgian starving | ships carrying the Red Cross and laden with the wounded of all nations ships carrying food and clothing to friendly, harmless, terrorized people ships flying the stars and stripes - sent to the bottom hundreds of miles from shore, manned by American sea men, murdered against all law without warning
 | We believed Germany'S promise that she would respect the neutral flag and the rights of neutrals, and we held our anger and outrage in check But now we see that she was holding us off with fair promise until she could build her huge fleet of subma- rines. For when spring came she blew her promise into the air just as at the beginning she had torn up that scrap of paper
 Then we saw clearly that there was but one law for Germany, her will to rule.
 Treachery Committed While We Were Friendly.
 We are fighting Germany because she violated our confidence. Paid Ger man spies filled our cities. Officials of her government, received as the guests of this nation, lived with US to Ibribe and terroize, defying our law and the law of nations.
 I've are fighting Germany because while we we're yet her friends-the only great power that still held hands off-she sent the Zimmerman note. calling to her aid Mexico, our southern neighbor and hoping to lure Japan, our Western neighbor, into war against this nation of peace.
 The nation that would do these things proClaims the gospel that gov ernment has no cnscience. And this doctrine cannot live, or else demo- cracy must die. For the nations of the world must keep faith. There can he nO living for us in world where the state has no conscience. no reverence for the things of the spirit no respect for international law lac. mercy for those who fall before it's force. What an unordered world. an archy the anarchy of the rival wolf packs.
 We are fighting Germany because in this war feudalism is making it's last stand against on-comine democra- cy. We see it now. This is a war against an old spirit, an ancient, out worn spirit. It is a war against feu- daiism--the right of the castle on the hill tc rule the village below. II Is a war for den ocracy-the right of Ill to be their own masters. Let Ger many be ieudal if she will, but sh . must no: SD! cad her system over q world that has outgrown it. Fendal- ism pl.is see Tee, thirteenth cenrErv plus twcntr tii-this is the ;eligiol .i' Er:.,' mistaken Germany that has linke1 itself with :i:s Turk-t.I t has too, a"I'. tf,' I: thod of Manomet
 The state has no conscience. The state can do no wrong With the 1 spirit of the fanatic she believes this ] gospel and that it is her duty to spread rit by force.
 New Horrors Invented by Schemine Germany.
 With poison gas that makes living a hell, with submarines that sneak ! through the seas to slyly murder non combatants, with dirigibles that bom- bard men and women. while they sleep with a perfected system of terroiZation ! that the modern world first heard of when German troops entered China German feudalism is making war upon mankind.
 , Let this old spirit of evil have it's way and no man will live in America without paying toll to it, in manhood and in money. This spirit might de ! Jnfnntnd i less England and then our dream of .rcace on the north would be at an end. We would live. as France has lived in haunting terror.
 : America speaks for the world in fighting Germany. Mark on q map those countries which are Germany's allies, and you will mark but four, running from the Baltic through Aus i tria and Bulgaria to Turkey. All the other nations. the whole globe around are in arms against her but are unable to move her. There is deep meaning i'll this.
 We fight with the world for an hon. est world, in which nations keep their word. for q world in which nations do not live by swagger or by threat. for q world in which men think of the ways ill which they can conquer the common CFuGit1eS Of nature instead or iinventing more horrible crueltieS to in Gict upon the spirit and body of man. for q world in which the ambition of the philosophy Of few shall not make miserable all mankind, for a world in which the man is held more precious than the machine. the system of the state.
