en- and violates
every principle of honor. is malicious
and degrading.
If such a system were permitted to
conquer in this struggle, 1t would
wrest from the free people of the
world not alone their freedom and
their ideals Of democratic justice,
which, through generations Of priva-
ton, perseverance and indomitable
will, they have wrung from the past,
but 1t would crush all the achieve
ments of peaceful industry, of educa-
ton. and especially Of spiritual aspira-
ton, which are the hard-earned fruits
Of these generations of world service.
Must Save Our Children.
We must save our children from the
debasing spirit of militarism, II Amer
ican men and women are ever again
to hope for the things they have cher
ished, and from which their ancestors
sought to escape when they defied the
tyranny Of the domination of might
and gave to the world the democratic
ideals Of Justice and equality in the
immortal Declaration Of Independence
to which our flag and our country are
dedicated.
1t is not enough that Germany shall
be defeated in battle or conquered by
hunger; she must be shown the truth,
that the world will no longer permit
any people to hold over-rated power
which threatens its peace or paralyzes
the processes Of civilization.
I'VE Are Awake Now"
Whatever may have been our error
in the past, however blind we may
have been, we are awake now.
Whatever mistakes we have made
In the past, however we may have
underestimated Germany's desire to
crush the democratic ideals of the
world, now that that purpose is known,
II must be overcome II womanhood ana
childhood are to be saved anywhere.
There can be reparation for these
deeds nowhere, either In this world
or In the world to come. The only
hope lies in such a conquest over the
spirit of Germany that il may learn
the truth that 1t may understand that
today, as in time past, the only foun-
.dation, security and stability for any
people, Germany included, is In right
.eousneSs; that above the roar Of bat
tie, the shrieking of shells, the groans
of the dying and the cries Of little
children, the prophets Of old are call
ing in tones that the whole world and
Germany must heed, "What does it
profit a man? What does the law re-
;quire of them but to do justly, to love
mercy and to walk humbly with GodT'
T: "splrit Regenerated."
It is not enough that the military
power Of Germany be conquered, but
the German spirit must be regenerated
Her mind must be open to learn the
truth about her false ideals of military
power, and we, too, must learn that
our fight is not alone to save our coun-
try, important as that Is. We have
more than our own safety to serve !;
we must win peace, peace for ourselves
and peace of the whole world-for
without world peace there can be Sc
cured peace in no part Of II.

GRAPHED BY PRESIDENT.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Mar. 2..-rhe

death sentence nconnection with the
bomb explosion in San Francisco in

killed and forty injured.
White House Says Nothing.
WWASHINGTON, Mar. 29.-White
House officials refused to affirm or de-
ny that telegram had been sent by
the President to the governor of Cali
fornia regarding the Mooney case.
The Presidents action which has
few precerents in American history,
comes as a climax of much effort by
the Federal government to have the
conviction of Mooney reversed and get
for him a new trial
The Mooney case was also used by
the Russian agitators of the Lenine
and Trotsky type as one of the chief
arguments to make the Russian peo-
pie believe the plaadings of the United
States for the cause of democracy
were insicere.

We have a suggestion from rea-
der that the state should take over
the care of cemeteries and make laws
that will provide against neglect In
many localities the dead are sadly
cared for. Brush and briar, rotten
fences and ruined and fallen grave
stones. These are tokens of dull
moral sense of duty toward departed
friends and relatives. 1t is no credit
to a community or it's folks to permit
the home of the dead to appear in
disgrace and discredit. The readers
of The Republican should ask teach
ers, preachers, farm Institutes and
all others to urge better care of the
cemeteries of their respective COM
munities.
