DELIVER US FROM HATRED.

There is one vital point upon which as citizens
must guard ourselves in the great contest before u.s. and
that there grow not up hearts spirit of hatred to-
ward those in our midst with foreign blood in their veins
We have said that not to prosecute war of re-
venge but contest for right and justice 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 he takes son from this
home and husband or brother from that one.
Americans cannot afford to harbor hatred and espe-
cay can they not afford anmosty toward our citizens of
foreign descent If the citizen of Teutonic blood loyal
to our country though he greve at the necessity for
with his fatherand his burden is heavy enough without
the added knowledge suspicion that he is viewed with
antagonsm and distrust.
There are some who are unquestonaby traitors to
the land of their adoption but they will to
their just end. Time will eace them. But their acts
should not prejudice in minds those who loyal
and who are sanchy 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 suffer for the acts
of the dsoyal To do so would be to defeat the very
aims in view in the struggle before u.s.
We now are impeled by one consuming desire, the
freedom of humanity in its broadcast sense and the great
est freedom to which attain is freedom of heart
from rancor and bitterness.
No great cause was ever won without martyrdom.
Some must suffer greatly, all must suffer some 1t is
natures way in which she works out human redemption
But if bitterness and hatred permitted to creep into the
martyrdom and suffering, their uplifting and purifying in
fuence is nullied.
Let pray to be delivered from all bitterness that
when the contest ended even our foes may be brought
to the light as we see it.

A CARD.

At a meeting of the pas
tors of the various churches
Of West Liberty it was unan-
imously agreed that we could
do no less than to say that we
must withhold our support
from any candidate, for any
office, whom we know to use
money or liquor or other cor
rupt method to secure his
nomination. However, this
does not indicate that we es-
pouse the cause of any par
ticular candidate.

" in favor of the amendment OF the
!eS:ssasaye, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill passed by the senate,
placing postmasters of all classes in
the civil service. He said that he
would be glad to do anything in his
power to encourage the retention OF
the clause in the bin.
The measure is at present in confer-
ence before It's final passage by the
senate and house.
The amendment removing all post
masterships from political appoint
ment was made by Senator Poindex-
ter, Of Washington. republican, Just
before the bill was acted on. 1t was
accepted without debate by Senator
Oyern1an, in charge Of the bill. but 1t
was the understanding that this was
done to save time and that the pro-
vision would be stricken out by the
conference committee. 1t is now re-
garded as possible that, with the
presidents Endorsement on the clause,
the committee may give serious con-
'sideration to retaining It.
1t developed today that many sena-
tors on both sides of the chamber
would regard with satisfaction the en-
actment Of the measure. believing that
placing all postmastership appoint
,ments under the regular civil service
rules would relieve them OF, many
difficult political tangles.

PEACE PLAN MEANS
CONSTANT REBELLION

Senator cummins Declares President

involve United States in Endless
Strife.
Washington, Jan. 30.-Opening the
debate Ia the senate tocay On Psesi-

Senator Cummins, OF Iowa, declared
that to do what the president Suggests

Asserting that he stood with the
president in every moral effort pose
sible for him to exert to bring an end
to he present war. the Iowa senator
said he5rekused to follow him when che
leads the way to the world sovereignty
which he has proposed"
The Lewis resolution, designed as
substitute for Senator Borah's pro-
posal reaffirming the. Monroe doctrine
and the advice of Washington and
Jefferson against foreign alliances,
would declare ut is the sense of the
senate that the address Of the presi-
dent, on the 22d Of January. 1917, does
not propose the abolishment or limita-
ton Of the Monroe doctrine in It's eff
feet or application to any part of the
western hemisphere nor does it intend
to send any part Of the army or navy
Of the United states to any foreign
territory except when necessary to
preserve the peace of the United States
or to protect the just rights Of America
or where the same is assailed."
Senator McCumber's resolution re-
cited that while the senate could not
agree with the specific statements OF
the presidents message, it should de-
clare Itself as standing ready to join
with other world powers as ready to
lend the moral and physical force Of
the United States toward preventing
another world devastating war.
Senator Lewis, Of Illinois, democrat,
today introduced resolution which
would express It to be the sentiment
Of the senate that President Wilson's
peace address does not propose
abolishment nor limitation of the
Monroe doctrine nor propose military
aggression by the United States in
