CITIZENS or THE WORLD.

We are slow to condemn American
people of amy sort as traitors. but
there are many who are giving a
great deal of aid and comfort TO our
enemies under the plea of liberty Of
conscience and freedom of speech.
Several occasions have arisen where
men who vote and live under The pro-
lection OF the stars and stripes have
been guilty Of rank disrespect for that
flag. and their excuse is that they are
citizens Of the world and not con-
fined In allegiance to any established
government Their nation is not the
United States or any other organi21-
ton but an ideal confederation of the
entire world "a democracy Of human
ity. Their conception is beautiful
picture and one that an Of us can adj
mire. 1t is splendid theory, an irrl-
descent dream, a political mellouium
that we hope and pray for But we
are not dealing with dreams and thoo-
ries now. We have iusistent and un-
problems before us for set
tlement that will not permit our stop
ping to theorize or dream until they
have been settled. Pretty things like
dreams of world federation must he
laid aside untn We have throttled the
dragon that threatens to destroy what
little Of humanitarianism we already
have and restore the worst enemy of
human brotherhood TO it's old-time
power. We must tend TO the job on
hand and consider the theories after
ward.

TO THE UTMOST.

Notwithstanding the woll nigh uni
versal approval OF the presidents war
message to congress. there is sull
some opposition and its most serious
phase is among those in high places.
As far as concerns La Toilette and
Stone. we nave their measure and
know where to place them. They
have been weighed iu the balance and
found wanting. The loyal voters Of
their constituencies viii do plenty
to them when the next opportunity
comes. Their possibilities of harm
are w,ll nigh discounted But there
is one phrase in the presidents rec
concentrations that has raised u
men and senators. There are timid
minds even among the most patriotic
and loyal, and 1t is well that every
point should be thoroly undeis stood
ana taken into consideration. Mr..
Wilson calls for the utmost practic-
able cooperation in counsel and ac-
tion with the governments now at
war with Germany"
The president was right. We have
no business going into this war if We
are to conrine our efficiency 70 half
way measures. There is no truth in
the allegation that we are going to
war only to settle our individual gricv-
ances against Germany. Those grieN-
ances have been the cause which has
impelled us to war, but they do not
comprise the whole motive and IN
tent Of, that war when once started
We have gone to war because we
could no longer patiently submit Ia
the mdignties and damages which
the kaisers emissaries heaped upon
us. We have gone to war because
Germany has refused to consider OUT
rights and has gone as far in prepar-
ing to fight MS as to plot with Other
nations for our hurt But once III
this war. we have become the cham
pions fighting for the principles OF
democracy to prevent their heinl
overwhelmed and suhducd by the sys-
TEN which holds to the divine rgh'
OF one man to run over his fellows
No matter what we intend to do, If
will come to this. In this one regard
we have a common cause with Eng
land. France and Russia.
II we are one in desiring the detea'
of Germany, we can best accomplish
that 10y working under common un.

II the circumstances were not 50
serious il would almost bc laughable
To read the declarations of the Ger
man foreign office that Germany does
not want war with America. The
Ichauccllor saws they do not desire TO
have any difficulty with us, that they
twin not declare war upon us and
that they are surprised and grievcd
that Mr.. Wilson should ask congress
for declaration of hostilities. The
occasion for these uttcrauces is timed
with a nicely for the view of infu-
encing opinion in America and I'm the
hope that ID would give new heart to
those In America who are fighting
Germany's battles under cover Of a
