The San Poll Eagle says "Presi-
ident Wilson is in exactly the same
position now that President Mckinley
was in before the Spanish-American
war. One side is scolding him because
he does not urge congress to declare
war, and the other side Is scolding
him for fear he will" Now. if the
editor of the Eagle will prod his
memory he will recollect that Presi-
dent Mckinley had far more to con-
tend against that has President Will
SON. At the time President Mckinley
was using every effort in his power
to ward off the threatened war, as
President Wilson is doing today, the
democratic party was barking and
snarling at his heels, denouncing him
as a coward. Why democratic SEN
ator from this state had so little re-
spect for the president that he pub
licly declared that the democratic
party had to take the president by the
seat of his trousers (pants was the
word used) and throw him into war.
President Mckinley had been a sol
der, and he knew from experience the
blight and horror of war, and he long
hesitated before casting the die. Pres
ident Wilson has never been a soldier
but it is not necessary to have been a ]
soldier to realize. in the face of the
frightful and fearsome record of the
past nearly three years, what war
means to people and he holds back
and hesitates before taking a step that

This country passed through the
novel experience of bread riots last
week. Crowds of women in New York.
Chicago and Philadelphia, as well as
other places, besieged the authorities
in their demand for food A number of
reasons have been advanced for the
demonstrations, among them lack of
cars to move produce, manipulation
of middlemen, the holding back of
produce by producers, and the more
SERIOUS charge that the riots were in
|stigated by representatives of foreign
powers to create internal dissension.
That the more common articles of
household consumption are high be-
yond all reason is self evident fact,
yet, in a land of plenty, in times of
peace, 1t is really strange condition
when people in large bodies are suf-
fering for the necessities of life. If
this be true, some of the aid being so
generously contributed to sufferers
in foreign lands might be diverted to
the assistance of the needy at home.

is bound to lead to deplorable conse-
|quences, no matter if victiry should
come in the end. But in this crucial
moment, with the fearful problem be-
fore him to be solved by him alone,
the republican press and republican
Representatives in congress are lot
bounding the president and heaping
,calumnies upon his head. The contrast
is only an illustration of the true
characteristics of the two parties and
requires no comment.

You who feel inclined to chafe be
cause of the presidents apparent in
decision and timidity in not taking
more decisive stand in the present un-
fortunate situation that exists in the
relations between the United States
and Germany-and most of us have
rather been inclined to find fault-
just put yourself in his place. and
then in your mind try and decide how
you would act At the first blush YOU
might say that the provocation has
been sufficient to turn loose the dogs
of war, yet after more sober thought
and calmly weighing what war really
means you nigh halt and hesitate.
take more time for elaboration, and
then be as slow to act as the presl-
dent has been. War has never been
pleasant and gentle pastime, and in
this age when civilization has made
people far more barbarous than in the
days of Attila, war has taken on a
more inhuman character than at any
time since man has developed into a
fighting animal. A declaration of war
would mean the applying OF the same
engines of destruction against our
fellowmen as is now being so ruth
lessly exercised on land and sea, and
having the same methods employed in
cutting off in the flower the best
blood of the nation. Hecatombs of
lives would be sacrificed and untold
treasurers expended. Sorrow and dis
tress would be upon the land and the
| glory won, in case success followed
our arms would not balance the blood
and tears, and suffering that it would
cost. War is a serious court of arbi-
tration and should be the last resort
of nations, and Mr.. Wilson, in his
trying position, should have the SYM
patty and support of all the people.
In the main, he has, for no really sane
man believes in war. 1t is generally
felt that the country should submit to
almost any indignity, and the country
has submitted to many during the past
two and a half years, before resorting
to the sword, which is only figure of
speech, as the sward is an archaic in
strument of warfare. President Will
son should be commended for his eff
forts to keep us out of war. And yet
and yet, one would feel far more kind
ly disposed toward him if he could
ever square himself to one line of ac-
ton, and occasionally display some
| flrmness

Any opposition to the state bone
dry enactment is all wasted energy.
Congress has stepped in and removed
all necessity for any such measure by
enacting a law which restricts wet
states from shipping liquor into pro-
hibition states Our views on any
question of public policy are influ-
enced by individual prejudices, but
even the most case hardened support
er of dry legislation must, in his call
mer moments, look upon the action of
congress as meddling with the rights
of states, although this question of
states rights is subject that has
been thrashed out for a century with
out reaching any conclusion that
meets up with the views of all
hands. Anyhow, if congress can inter-
dict the exchange of commodities be-
tween states, and annul- laws created
by direct vote of the people, then
legislative power is becoming unduly
centralized in the national govern
ment, and the people of the state have
no voice whatever in home rule. The
initiative and referendum is meaning
less and without force or effect when
congress can step in and annul any
action taken by the electorate through
these much vaunted safe guards of
the land. States might as we'll be
without constitutions and legislative
bodies under the existing powers of
congress, and it will be little less than
farce to put the state to the expense
OF holding another constitutional con-
law. This manner of stating the case
may be treason to the constituted
powers, but has some justification in
| fact from the way we individually
look at the action of congress.

The legislature is considering with

No fault can be found with the citi-
zens of Centralia getting everything

poor return for the money paid for
