Machinery has been set in mo-
ton for the Christmas Roll Call,
December 18th to 23d, during
which week the American Red
Cross expects to enroll every cit
izen in the country as a member
of the greatest humanitarian or
ganization on earth.
R. B. Hale. whose prominent
connection with various war ac-
tivities identifies him as one
of the intensely patriotic work
ers of the Pacific Division, mas
accepted the craftsmanship of the
Christmas Roll Call committee.
Chairman Hale will announce
the personnel of his executive
committee In the near future.
Edward H. Brown, who served
as executive secretary In last
years successful Chris TIM a S
membership drive, and also in
the Second War Fund Campaign
last May, will act in the same
capacity during the coming Roll
Call.
One hundred per cent enroll
ment is the mark set by these
capable executives. Will the
Chapters carry on?

THE GREAT EXPERIMENT

There Is no such thing as
Americanism unless American
lam Is in our soul. We have got
to feel it frst, and then we have
got to put 1t out among other
people.
American Is an inspiration.
American is a spirit. 1t is the
constant and continuous search.
ing Of the human heart for the
thing that is better.
Otr wars have been fought by
men of foreign birth. We see
their names every day in the list
of those who are dead on the
battlefelds Of France.
There is no such thing as an
American race except the In
dians. We are fashioning out a
new people. We are doing the
unprecedented thing in saying
that Slav, Teuton, Celt, and the
other races that make up the civ
ilized world, are capable of being
blended here, and we say this
upon the theory that blood alone
does not control the destiny of
man; that out of his environ
ment, his education, the food he
eats, the neighbors that he has,
the work that he does, there can
be formed and realized a spirit,
an ideal which will master his
blood.
We are trying a great expert.
ment in the United States. Can
we gather together people of diff
ferent races, creeds, conditions
and aspirations who can be
merged into one?
If we cannot do this, we will
fail indeed, we will have already
failed. If we do this, we will
produce the greatest of all ma
tions, a new race that will long
hold a compelling place in the
world. FRANKLIN X. LANE.

cratic congressmeR voted against
the Armor Plate Plant Measure;
and twenty-three republican and
no democratic senators voted
against it.
The foregoing are the element
al, or fundamental. war meas
ures, with a few exceptions.
These exceptions include the two
war revenue bills, for 1917 and
1918. The 1917 bill was opposed
by one hundred and ninety-two
republican congressman and
thirty-three republican senators,
and four democratic congress
men. The 1918 war revenue bill
was opposed by seventy-six re-
publican congressman and four
senators, and by NO democrats.
No democrats voted against
the Telephone and Telegraph
Control Bill, but four republican
congressman and sixteen repub-
lican senators did so. The Rail-
road Control Bill was opposed
by four republican congressman
and two democrats; in the SEN
ate thirteen republicans and one
democrat voted for republican
substitute for the measure.
The above record shows clearly
how the republicans stood by
President Wilson. 1t also shows
the kind of support President
Wilson and the country will get
from the republican majority in
the next congress.

REPUBLICAN CAMOUFLACE

PREVIOUS W eltCtiOH tiiS CouH1ty
was filled with camouhage by
the republicans, who declared
that it was the republican sena-
tors and congressman who sup
porled President Wilson and his
war program, and not the demo-
Gratis, and for that reason a re-
publican congress should be re-
turned.
The republicans fooled the peo-
pie and many voted the republi-
can ticket, with the result that
the republicans have a majority
in congress. With presidential
election coming in two years,
the republican majority in the
next congress will make some
more political medicine in the
hope that the people will be
fooled again and land its candi-
dates winners.
The record of the republican
party in the part it has played
before and during the war can
be made clear.
At no time producing the tabu-
lated records, republican leaders
asserted and continued to assert
that republican representatives
and senators enabled the presi-
dent to put through his war pro-
gram despite alleged democratic
opposition. ''The main opposi-
tion to his war policies has come
from within his own party" was
their slogan.
Nothing could be further from
the truth, but there is an old
saying anent a lie oft repeated.
Republican leaders continued
their Misrepresentation until,
with the facts not known, they
succeeded in camouhaging the
truth.
The facts are these:
Thirty-two republican and
only sixteen democratic congress-
men voted against war, and
three republican and three demo.
cratic senators.
One hundred and three repub.
lican and only thirty-two demo
cratic congressman voted against
killing the McLemore resolution
and twelve republican and only
two democratic senators votec
against killing the Gore resolu
tion.
Seventy-six republican ant
only forty-seven democratic con
gressmen voted to nullify tht
Armed Neutrality Act by favor
ing the Cooper amendment Il
prevent American ships carry
ing war supplies from arming
and the LaFollette republican,
filibuster killed the Armed Neu
trality Act in the senate.
Ninety-seven republican an(
only nine democratic congress
men voted against the Espionage
Act; and five republican and only
one democratic senator voted
against it.
One hundred and sixty repub
lican and only one democratic con
gressman voted against the Ship
ping Board Bill; and twenty-ont
republican and no democratic
senators voted against it.
