ASK REFERENDUM OF THE
NATION ON ENTERING WAR

Editor Reflector The enclosed
resolutions we're passed at public
meeting at Lasita, Kan.,' Feb. 8, and
unanimously accepted. Almost eV-
erv one present expressed the wish
that voters over the entire country
would throw off their indifference,
recognize their duties as citizens
and assert their privileges to de-
mand of our lawmakers and of our
president that the majority of the
people decide this most important
of all questions of war by their
votes
To Representative Guy T. Helver-
ing: BY the breaking of diplomatic
relations with Germany we are
brought to the brink of war. What
that would mean to us the terrible
bloodshed. the untold sufferings of
women and children in this greatest
of all wars we thoroughly under
stand. Without discussing the ques-
ton whether the president acted for
the best of our country in breaking
diplomatic relations it is for us, the
great mass of common people, to
now call halt before further steps
in the direction of war are taken,
We as American citizens have the
right and it is our sacred duty to
use our power to influence our
government to check any further acts
toward war until the question
whether we want war has first been
submitted by a direct vote to the
people We are in no danger OF In
vasion by any enemy, therefore there
is no need of hasty action on this
ouestion and we are convinced that
when our lawmakers and the presi-
dent understand the firm and de-
termined opposition to war, that
they will heed our demands. We feel
that this is an occasion for a SUI
preme effort of the voters without
regard to party affiliations to de-
mand to be heard. Why should not
all the beautiful high and noble
peace sentiments that nearly every
one believes in take shape in action
now when action if it is strong and
prompt enough will prevent this
most dire calamity that threatens
our people and our country. % l..
Westcott, Chairman; NJ. Sem, NJ. b,
Reed, A. p. Lund, committee on
resolutions
CThe theory of referendum OF
the nation on going to war may
sound well in public meeting but
II will not bear analysis. This Is a
republic, governed by our represen-
tatives and we must trust TO them
TO take such action in peace or war
as is provided under the constitu-
ton that is the basis of our govern
ment. If war comes it will not be
because the people want it-seldom
do the people of any country want
war-but because it is deemed es-
sential to the sustaining Of our
national existence and national life
that we take such action. And when
emergency arises there is no time
for referendum. We must trust our
president and congress to act-and
act promptly. II the nation is thieat-
ened it must be preserved no mat
ttr what referendum would show ,
! II 1t is not threatened our govern
ment is not going to war This is a
time for patriotic sustaining Of the
government not for tying of hanas
or holding referendums Editor

Paskcrt solves the problem ny

AS Paskert, batting rlght-hand:
handed, is naturally left field
hitter, the outfield soon has him
spotted and moves over toward
left field to lay for his drives.
In these, positions the tielders
arc prepared for anything that
comes into left or center field,
while right field is left without
much protection.
Paskert meets this condition by
changing: to a heavier bat. The
added weight Of the bat slows up
his swing so that he meets the ball
at shorter angle than his lighter
bat and the ball is driven into
right field. @.. :.
