1t is said that what is needed in
this war is some enthusiasm slo-
gan. Remember The Maine" inspir-
ed thousands to seek the recruiting
station at the beginning of the war
with Spain. We had no reason for
being in that war except that one of
our ships was sunk and our sailors
drowned. Then the cry Remember
The Maine" and the nation arose to
avenge their death. Villa crossed
the border and murdered American
citizens, women and children, and
destroyed property, but the people of
the country were not strong enough
for war to cause the government to
act. A declaration of war and ERE
member Columbus" would have rails
ed an army at that time, and no draft
would have been necessary. When
the Lusitania was sunk had a de-
claration of war been made and ere
member the Lusitania" gone over the
land no draft would have been neces-
sary. The war would have been
fought with enthusiasm. But the
present war was result of careful
consideration. When Congress
authorized the declaration the mat
ter was accepted as q necessity and
there was general sentiment to
stand by the President. But there
was no enthusiasm. Enlistments

were slow. Then the draft. This al
so was accepted as a measure of
necessity. But the feeling prevails
among most people that it is a duty
because it cannot be avoided. 1t is
going to work an untold hardship up
on a lot of people. The wives and
mothers who, through the long hours
of the night, for months and pos
sibly years will wet the pillows with
tears for those who have been taken
from them, many with the added
burden of living on an insufficient
income, have no spontaneous patio
tism to buoy them up in their loneli-
ness and want. And the man who
goes to the front, perhaps he is la
boring man. The government pay
for his services is insufficient to pro-
vide for a family. If he is business
man his business may be wiped out
through inefficient management dur
ing his absence. These are the things
the people are talking. They are
looking at hard, cold facts instead of
being swept from their feet with
the enthusiastic cry Remember The
Maine"

The Kaizer has ordered that all
jewelry and diamonds in Germany
be brought in and hadned over to the
government. OF course this looks
tough to those possessing these arti-
cles, but the fact remains that it will
work no hardship on the people. A
similar order could be made in Amer
lea, but it never will be. If all the
gold now worn for ornamentation
were melted UP and coined into
money it would help lot to pay the
expense of the war, and no one
would undergo any privation as re-
suit. Many would say that this could
not be done. Why? If the United
States government can compel man
to leave his family and go to face the
bullets of the enemy, why can it not
take the useless things of the coun-
try to pay his family decent living
while he is away? If it is patriotic
for poor man to go to the front
why is it not patriotic for the rich
man to sacrifice some of his wealth?
These are some of the questions the
people are asking these days. Who
will answer them?
