DELIVER US FROM HATRED.

There is one vital point upon which we as citi-
zens must guard ourselves in the great contest
before us, and that is that there grow not up in
our hearts a spirit of hatred toward those in our
| midst with foreign blood in their veins.
We have said that we are not to prosecute a
war of revenge, but a contest for right and JUS
tice. This sentiment comes easy enough at this
time. The danger will come later, when the real
shock of war is felt and grim death fans us with
his sable wings as he takes son from this home
and a husband or brother from that one.
Americans can not afford to harbor hatred,
and especially can they not afford animosity to-
ward our citizens of foreign descent. If the cit
izen of Teutonic blood is loyal to our country,
though he grieve at the necessity for war with his
fatherland, his burden is heavy enough without
the added knowledge or suspicion that he is view
ed with antagonism and distrust.
There are some who are unquestionably trait
ors to the land of their adoption, but they will
soon come to their just end. Time will efface
them. But their acts should not prejudice in our
minds those who are loyal and who are stanchly
supporting the government, even though it be
with hearts saddened by regrets.
If Americans are even approximately true to
their ideals they will not permit the loyal to suf-
fer for the acts of the disloyal. To do so would be
to defeat the very aims in view in the struggle
before US.
| We now are impelled by one consuming desire,
the freedom of humanity in it's broadest sense,
and the greatest freedom to which we can attain
is freedom of heart from rancor and bitterness.
No great cause was ever won without martyr
dom. some must suffer greatly, all must suffer
some. 1t is natures way in which she works out
human redemption. But if bitterness and hatred
is permitted to creep into martyrdom and suffer-
ing, their uplifting and purifying influence is null
flied.
Let us pray to be delivered from all bitterness,
that when the contest is ended even our foes may
be brought to the light as we see it.

DANGER IN FALSE ECONOMY.

Worse, if possible, that extravaganza just at
this time would be a false idea of economy. II
the people become hysterical over the matter of
conservation the very ends aimed at will surely be
defeated.
We should bear in mind that, provided our
great waste and extravaganza is eliminated, there
will be plenty Of food in the country to supply
the necessities Of every person.
There is now no call, and probably will not be,
for any person to deny himself or herself sufi-
Gent good nourishing food. On the contrary, all
should strive to keep themselves up to their best.
Eat plenty, and the best you can afford, then you
will be able to do your full share Of the work that
is before us.
Napoleon wisely said that ian enemy travels
on it's stomach" And it is equally true that we
work on our stomachs. A hungry man or woman
is incompetent for any task.
And it will be all too easy for us to develop a
fase economy in other lines. Miserliness and
boarding of means would be most dangerous to
business conditions. Anything that checks the
normal volume Of exchange ~unsettles the markets
and tends to promote panics. In fact, this is a
large factor in all financial panics. Money be-
comes little scarce, and we at ono. imagine that
if we turn loose the dollar We have we will never
see another. Millions of other people imbibe the
same idea. You know the result.
The sensible economy and the true patriotism
is for each to sell, earn and spend, as only by such
a course can business be kept healthy and on the
up grade.
Be economical and prudent, but DON'T be a
miser.

HOBSON SPEAKS FOR A NAVY.


Wehave advocated for some time the expendi-
ture of a billion dollars on an improved navy. An
other, better known, and with greater right, now
stresses the need of the United States for a more
powerful navy.
Capt. Hobson, who performed the task of
blockading Santiago, speaks with authority and
his words deserve respect. He quotes the British
official boast that by the end of the war the Brit
ish navy will be larger than the combined navies
of the world. He made the known the British
official statement that dreadnaughts are being
built in England in preference to merchant ships
and remarks upon the straneeness of such action
if there is such a necessity for wooden ships as
to require America to donate thousands Of them
to the Allied cause.
Capt. Hobson recommends the purchase of a
billion dollars worth of British warships in return
for our merchant ships. He is frankly afraid of
the motive behind a British war fleet greater than
the combined fleets of the world. He fears that
this vast tonnage may be used to coerce the Unit
ed States at the peace conference if American
ideals conflict with British desire.
We think he is right in desiring a larger fleet
for the United States and we agree with him, that
if either America or England must postpone the
building Of battleships in order to save the Allies
from starving it ought to be the latter, whose fleet
by her own statement will soon be greater than
that Of America, Germany, Japan, France, Aus.
tria, Russia, and all the nations Of the world com.
