The Call TO Action.

The following extracts from
Tuesday mornings New Orleans
Times Picayune reflect our SEN
timents to a nicety:
"Addressing the Congress last
night, President Wilson urged
the passage of d resolution rec
ognizing the existence Of the
state of war forced upon US by
the Berlin government, the i'm
mediate organization of an addi-
tional force of 100000 men to be
raised upon the principle of uni
versal service, and the fullest CO.
operation with the other democra-
cies and arms against the COM
mon enemy in the struggle to
'vindicate the principle of peace
and justice in the life Of the
world as against selfish and uto-
cratic power
I'VE commend this greatest of
Woodrow Wilson's state papers,
to the careful reading of all
Americans, and particularly of
those Americans who have felt
that the republic might somehow
remain submissive to outrage and
suffer intolerable wrongs and at.
tack upon its own citizens, upon
al humanity and upon modern,
civilization, without striking a
blow in defense.
"It may be we'll to point out
that the President shares the
view of most Americans that in
accepting the challenge flung in
our faces by an autocratic gov.
ernment run amuck, We shall be
fighting for the ultimate peace of
the world and the liberation Of
its peoples, the German people
included.' The people of Ger
many are not to be held respon.
sible for the acts of a govern
ment which has misled and de-
ceived them from the beginning
of this epochal conflict, working
to its sinister ends by crimes both
Of violence and cunning intrigue,
recognizing no authority save its
own selfish will, and accepting no
guidance save that of its own lust
for conquest. But so long as
they tolerate it's yoke and do its
bidding, they must suffer, as do
the other peoples against whom
it is waging a warfare unrestrict-
ed by any principle or teaching
of law or humanity.
Having striven long and
earnestly to avoid embodiment,
this nation, forced at last by
brutal aggression and outrage to
take up the sword, should wage
the war in its own and humani-
tvs defense with all vigor and
resolution. The call to action
fines instant response in many
millions of American hearts"

War Resolution
viii Be Passed
Without DELAY.
Senators Make Plans to Re-
main in Session Contin-
uously and House Will Not
Be Behind In Action Pres
ident Asks.

Washington, April 3.-The way
was cleared on both sides of the
capitol today for prompt enact
ment of the administration reso-
luton declaring a state of war
exists with Germany and direct
ing the President to prosecute it
with all the nations resources to
a successful termination. Baked
by Senator LaFollette in an effort
to have the resolution taken up
Immediately after it had been
presented from the foreign rela-
tions committee, Senate leaders
decided to begin tomorrow morn :
ing at 10 O'Clock a session to con-
tinue until vote has beer taken.
If the leaders can hold a quor-
um, as they were able to do in
the closing hours Of the last ses-
sion on the armed neutrality BILL,
it is probable that there will be
action late tomorrow night or
Thursday morning.
Adoption Of the resolution by
the House before tomorrow night
is predicted by members of the
foreign affairs committe. The
committee will meet in the mora =
ing and is expected to report back
quickly the resolution as approv-
ed today by the Senate Commit
tee. A special rule probably
will be asked from the rules COM
mittee to expedite the resolution
regardless of its progress in the
Senate, and little delay is looked
for once it reaches the House
floor. Sentiment on the House
side is almost unanimously in
favor of the measure.
Senators who have looked over
the situation believe that if
friends of the revolution can ba
prevented FROM consuming time
in speech making, a vote in the
Senate need not be delayed many
hours. They expect few votes
against it and not many speechee
in opposition.
Enthusiastic approval of the
Presidents address is general
among senators.
The resolution approved by the
Senate committee now is as fol-
lows:
"Whereas, the imperial Ger.
man government has committed
repeated acts of war against the
government and the people Of the
United States of America; there.
fore be it
"Resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, That the state
Of war between the United States
and the imperial German govern.
ment which has thus been thrust
upon the United States is hereby
declared; and that the President
be and he is hereby authorized
and directed to employ thu entire
naval and military forces Of the
United States and the resources
of the governm mt to Carry on
war against the imperial German
government, and to bring the
conflict to a successful termina-
ton all of the resources of the
United States are hereby pledged
by the Congress of the United
States"
Chairman Stone, who voted
against the resolution, said he
would not make a minority re.
port, but expected to speak on
the resolution.
There may be also some dis.
inclinations, particularly on the
part of Republicans, to adopt the
Presidents suggestion as to tax

As The Editor Sees 1t.

Don't forget to "clean up and
paint up" and while you are
about it, stay up. In other words
don't clean up your place in the
spring-giving it the once over
and then expect it to remain
fresh and attractive the rest Of
your natural life. You can clean
up today, and tomorrow there
will be something else to pick up.
If you leave it, and keep on leav.
ing accumulations from day to
day, it is only a question of a
few weeks when "that neglected
appearance is in evidence where
ever you look. And that is bad
for this town. It is bad for the
health and the pocketbooks OF
the town. 1t is bad every way
you look at it. But five, minutes
a day will change all of this. II
will keep your place a bower of
neatness and beauty, and it will
lnstill a pride and contentuent
in your heart that will make you
feel like another person. Try it.
You will feel better, and your
place will look even more 80.

But when they bade him to get up and speak, he stood upon his feet and looked the throng in the face and spoke from his heart He said the right thing in the right way Modest for himself, he was a lion for the cause for which this district stands. His intense pa triotism biazed out time and again during his talk. ''D-n a man that is not patriot1c," he declared. Refer ring again to the doctored report nade to the president of the United States about our defense of our city, he stated that the trial of Embree at Tucson brought out many things in connection with the strike and the men behind it that branded them as disloyal traitors.
