Some people think the question of
going to war should have been sub.
mitted to y vote Of the people. Why
not have the people vote on the ques-
ton of droughts, excessive rainfalls,
etc. But, someone says, that is a
fool argument, No n is to blame
for the weather and storms. Exactly.
And this nation is not TO blame for
the war. The conditions are beyand
our eottrol rnd in order to save the
tation and keep it intact. the country
is at war. Self defense IS permits
sible under any circumstances. This
Is one of the fundamental principles

The poor relief will now have an
easy time. Many men of military age
are hunting for some one to support.
Three months ago we could see in the
cities great collections of frail bits of
masculineity dangling on the wet end
OF 9 pill and having a care-free time.
But now they are supporting huge
families. Wonderful, isn't it? No
longer will a mother have to wave a
dashboard. the flag of an unfortunate
union, and beat a living for a twenty.

suds. No sirl Not now. He is sup.

The whole territory of Germany,
Australia and Bulgaria and the parts

considerably smaller in area than the
states between the Mississippi river

central powers can conduct a great
War and support millions of men in

starved out what are the possibilities
OF America and her allies being

incident to the war has brought much

A AMERIcANISM

The schools OF America are in ses.
sion again for another nine months.
School boards, superintendent, prin-
ciples and teachers should plan from
the outset to make it the Danner year
for American history by the teach
ing of patriotism and loyalty to the
American government. TO do this it
will not be necessary to deride other
governments, as some have imagined.
All that will be found necessary to
instil in the young American greater
loyalty, patriotism and devotion to
the country will be to teach American
history, to teach what A~mericanism
has stood for from the time the first
cOlonists set foot on the Atlantic
coast, what it stands for today and
will stand for tomorrow, the tomor.
row Of these young Americans.
American history should not be
taught In the old slipshod manner. 1t
should be on the daily school pro-
gram for opening and closing and for
other periods during the day. Teach
ers should better inform themselves
on American histOry-not SO much Of
the battles fought and won or lost as
on the things striyen for and secured
In the wars that have been waged,
the things striyen for and accom-
plished in the times of peace, for
Americas accomplishments in times
of peace have been much greater than
those accomplished in war.
The lives of great men in all walks
of life. how many of them have risen
to the pinnacles of fame and from
humblest beginnings, should be con.
stantly before the youngsters that
they may know this is the country of
opportunity, the country where demo
cratic, individual effort has it's re-
ward.
Teach American history to the ex-
clusiOn of all other history until
Young America knows the America
of the past, until it appreciates the
America Of the past, of today, and
until 1t has the inspiration, the de-
termination for a greater America of
tomorrow.
