WILSON. THE
COUNTRY'S HOPE

When The bill granting the
president power to arm Ameri-
can merchant ships was before
the House. I took occasion to say
that there was just one man who
could keep us out of war-Wood-
row Wilson. 1 believed that then
and ! believe it now. Further
more. am convinced the presi-
dent wants peace. and that he is
pursuing the course which he
considers best calculated to keep
us out Of war. Of course. he
may be mistaken. for he is hu-
man. like the rest of US, but he
has been remarkably successful
up to date. and / still trust him.
In considering the les ne of
peace or war there are u few
facts we should constantly keep

Congressman from the third Colorado

This is a good time for the
American people to keep cool.
Our country is on the brink of
war. If we go over let us take
the step deliberately. and not be-
cause we lost our tempers or be-
cause some designing party push
ed us.

well md his ''Roucdheads".
They prayed before they fought,
and they were among the best
fighters mentioned in history.
They recognized that war was a
serious game and they went
about it in a serious fashion.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Miss Myrtle Coe. a former
teacher in the grades, was visit
ing the school Monday.
Leo Parham has recently enter
ed.the eighth grade. He canae
from Mill Springs, Mo.
John Fowler entered the foarth
grade Monday. He has been at
tending school in Colo. Springs.
James McCrumb returned to
school after having been out of
school for several months. He
thinks he learned more in this
school than in the Mo. schools.
Many of the pupils of the under
classes took the teachers. exam
nations last week but their show
ing wasn't very good. especially
in U. S. history. All of the SEN
iors were required to take the ex-
animation.
The boys are wishing for a
coach to help them prepare for
the athletic contest that will be
held by six schools, Simla. Hugo.

reasonable price. Any one desi-
ing such pieces would do well to
come up and see them,
In the future the policy Of this
school will be that no pupil using
tobacco will be recommended for
a scholarship to any college nor
for any other position of trust
and honor. It is the belief of the
teachers that the cigarette and
tobacco habit. is prenicious to
young boys and that no student
who uses either will give good
account of himself in responsible
positions. The school hopes to
safeguard the pupils from this
habit and also fortify itself
against getting a bad reputation
While the teachers examica-
tions were in progress Friday. at
a most unfavorable time to see
the school work of the school. DR.
Cook. high school inspector from
the University of Colorado. vis-
tied the school. He watched the
work all day and complimented
the teachers on the work Gone.
He was especially pleased to see
every pupil take books home for
evening study. He criticised the
school for not having more ply
sizes apparatus and said we ou9h.
to have more books in the library
His one unfavorable criticism
was that three teachers were try

wants to fight us. Both England
and Germany have done US SER
ious injury, but neither desires
to deliberately break with us.
This is shown by the fact that
German submarines have. sunk
very few American ships.
On Feb. %. the big American
steamship Finland, reached New
York from Liverpool. The press
dispatches telling of her trip con
tain this signifisant paragraph:
1T was one o'clock on the
morning of Feb. 18 when the
Finland left Liverpool. with ITO
passengers. She sailed with all
lights burning, illuminating the
American flag painted on either
side. No submarine was sighted.
Think of an American ship
steaming safely through the war
zone, which is alive with subma-
rines, WITH ALL LIG H T S
BURNING. Old Glory painted
on her side was the only arma-
ment she carried, but it was suf-
ticent.
BEWARE OF TAINTED NEWS
Second-Ninety-five per cent
Of the news we are receiving
from Europe comes from London.
and England is naturally anxious
to get us into war. Therefore
we must be on our guard and re-
fuse to accept every foreign dis
patch at its face value.
In this connection the follow
ing interview with Col. Freder-
ick Hale. United States Senator
elect from Maine. who returned
from Europe the other day is in
| tcresting:
The allies want us in the war,
said Colonel Hale. Lloyd George
wants US in the war: Premier
BRAND wants us in the war.
Il had talk with Lloyd George
before ! left England. I also
talked with BRAND in France and
other prominent officials. With
out c:::::cpt:cE they were clssttea at
the step which sent Count Won
Detnstorff back to Germany and
believe the next move will carry
the United States into war on the
side Of the allies. :
<s'They declare the spectacle of
the American troops fl ghting the
German armies in France would
have a tremendous moral effect.
1t is felt that the United States
could help most by conveying
steamships and by allowing use
Of her great credit"
BIG DAILIES FOR WAR Il
Third-Phe majority of the big
daily raoers in this country were
for war long before the president
severed diplomatic relations with
Germany. Now they are attempt
ing to silence the advocates of
peace by branding them as Pro
Germans" and. at the same time
endeavoring to make the people
believe that President Wilson has
changed frons and is for war.
These papers did not support
the president in the last cam.
paign and they are not author
lied to speak for him now. Will
son is just as earnestly in favor
of peace today as he was last
October, and he never loses an
opportuni vi j, his public utter
ances to make that clear.
