address contains two great messages to the people of this country, no mat ter whether applied to the nation at large, or to the state in it's entirety, or to the county, or to the citizens of the town, or to the individuals of home.
 In as few words as possible these messages are, first and foremost, let every man and woman of every class and condition stand by the existing order of things. Second, let no man nor woman, no matter of what class or degree, permit himself or herself to enter into any sort of understand ing or contract that threatens to dis rupt the harmony of the nation, the community or the city.
 It is not time for the advance ment of self-interest, but unity of purpose, unity of action and harmony in all directions is the rule--the only rule that will preserve this country from dissensions that will tend to give the German Butcher the tre- mendous advantage which he is seek ing, not only by means of soldiers in the field, but thru the insidious schemes and dark intrigues of mum berless agents who are in this coun try, regular wolves in sheep clothing ]
