svpy,cE GERMANS MAY RENDER

century and half ago Ameri-
cans of English birth rose to free this
country from oppression Of the rulers
NJ England. Today Americans Of
ccruan birth are called upon to rise,
,o,cthcr with their fellow citizens Of
Ill ,occs. to free not only this coun-
~, but the whole world from the op-
r,ession Of the rulers OF Germany,
an oppression far less capable of be-
ing endured and Of far graver portent.
The greatest service the men Of
German birth or antecedents can rem
dor TO the country Of their origin Is to
,rocIaim, and to stand up for those
treat and fine ideals and national
ouuIitics and traditions which they
inherited from their ancestors, and
to set their faces like flint against the
moustrous doctrines and acts OF u
rulcrship which have robbed them Of
the Germany which they loved and In
which they took just pride. The
Germany which had the good will, re-
spcct and admiration Of tho entire
world, but which has been stripped
from that nation by the iron hand Of
the kaiser. This ruler now wants
TO throw 2,OOO,OOO Of the mere boys
Of his country into the depths Of war
in order to save the throne for his
family.

The "Horse lauuhn

woman correspondent of the Port
land Oregonian asks that Journal if
there is warrant or authority In litera-
ture for the term "horse laugh" The
lady is evidently of opinion that the
term is vulgarism, but the Oregonlan
disabuses her of that impression by
quoting such authorities as Pope, Gold
smith, Richardson and Dickens. It
may need to be added that the three
last named attributed the expression
to characters drawn by them, but Pope,
a master Of literary style in his day,
uses it as his own in "Epilogue to
Satires."

SOCIALISTS DIVIDE ON WAR.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Apr. If the leaders
of the Socialist party attempt to place
that party IN record a opposed to war in
the present crisis, they are likely to meet
with stubborn resistance on the part of a
considerable element of the rank and file
of the organization. This was made evil
dent in interviews with many of the dele
gates TO the special convention of the
party which assembled nj the Planters lIo-
tel in thi, city today for the purpose OF
determining the policy of the party in the
present international crisis. The conven-
ton i the first national gathering held by
he Socialist party in five years, the nom
nations and other business having here
|.ofore been transacted by means Of the
referendum. The fact that the convention
will extend over into next week, when ma
iional conferences of the progresSives and
prohibitionI>tS are also to be held IN this
city, has led to rumors that an effort may
be made To combine the three minor politi-
cal organizations into one party.
