1t is estimated that five per cent of

that ninety per cent of those caused by
electricity are the direct result of de.

A. small per cent of the loss occasion
ed in this manner invested in salleries

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE A UNIT

The congress of the United States
has indicated its willingness, its
readiness to do all that will be re-
quired by President Wilson TO up
hold the honor and dignity OF the
country in the event of more than a
break ofdipiomatic relations between
he United States and Germany
Members of congress of all shades OF
political belief have expressed them
selves as convinced the president
could have done nothing else, have
said he has done what they would
nave done under similar circumstan-
ces. ALI agree this is a time when
local political differences must be
forgotten, when there must be a unit
cd front to demonstrate to Germany
and to. the world that the United
States is as firmly convinced today as
it vas in 1912 that it is entitled to
the perfect freedom of the seas
The people OF tbe< country have
spoken too. Weile it has been hoped
by all that we might continue TO en-
Joy peace with the entire world,
while it has been their fervent prayer
that we should not come to open hes
~tilities with any Of the European ma
lions so long engaged in life and
death struggle, there is surging iii
the breast of every loyal American
the feeling that the United States
can no longer brook the insults that
have been hsaped during the last two
years and more. There is demand
growing in every quarter that the
American institution of liberty for
which the patriots of 177G, of 1872 and
of 1865 fought and died shall not
perish and there are s%pringing up as
If by magic in every quarter patriots
just as willing as were those of other
times.
There will be tories and traitors.
That goes without saying. But the
congress already has under consider
N"'nh AhCHpAtD1 tpt Gn eGhutItt CuEU
ing such isolated cases as will come
to light, as will seak to aggrayate or
hamper. Tolerance will. be given
such things today no more than they
have been IN other times of national
peril. Summary justice should and
will be melted out to all offenders.
This is a time when everything
American should be, will be distinct
~ American. The institution of lib
efty in America has been the beacon
fire of the Notwithstanding peoples of
the world. Ii this is the time when
Almighty has willed that fire shall be
replenished, then let the replenish-
ment be done in manner worthy of
the American people and let it be
done in manner to reflect credit at
ouce and upon our whole people.
