THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Good Americans will indorse out
right the program Of the National Sc
curity League to prevent the election
or reelection of any members Of Con-
gress this year who are not known to
be vigorous proponents Of the war or
who can be lured to support any spe-
cious efforts at an incOnclusive peace.
The country needed such a nonpoliti-
cal organization as the league to lead
the fight against the milk fed office
holders and Office seekers who, In
many parts Of the country are cater
ing to the hopes Of the people that
the war may be ended, even though 1t
is not ended right. The league can
come to Colorado, for instance, and
build fires under two or three politf-
ciais who probably will seek re-elec-
lions here and, without it's motives be-
ing questioned, can expose the rank
pacifism which has featured their pO-
litical careers.
Just how the war will terminate
will depend mostly upon the United
States. Just what the United States
will do depends in a great measure
upon Congress. II there Is strong
sentiment for premature peace In its
membership the task Of putting
through our war program until our in
situations are absolutely safe will be
complicated. We are pledged now to
60 through with the war by force,
without stint or limit" and we must
support that pledge by electing men
to Congress who win "stay put" on
the issue until victory is won.
For that matter, Americans should
be careful about electing anybody to
any Office now who Is not clear-cut on
the war. Men of no particular force
In private life have much weight add
ed to their opinions when they are
clothed with the authority of Office.
We cannot afford to have any such
backing the pacifists in the dark days
Of the war that are to come We must
make this poor season for "yellow
dog" Office seekers of whatever grade
or party or politics.-Colorado Springs

Mrs. TT. Preston, Jr.a active IN the secur-
She was the first woman to become q
member of the Leagues National Ex-
ecutive Committee, and is secretary Of
the Leagues Committee on Patriotism
Through Education.
Mrs. Preston's message to the wo-
men Of the country reads in full:
"Proclaim Liberty"
Proclaim Liberty throughout ALL
THE LAND unto all the inhabitants
thereof
"These words were written about
1880 years before Christ, as part Of
the Law Of Holiness in the Book OF
Leviticus. Our fathers inscribed them
upon the Liberty Bell which called our
mighty nation into life.
To-day all the Inhabitants enjoy
liberty, the Jew and the Gentle, the
rich and the poor, the native and the
alien-born, the weak and the strong.
The old Liberty Bell IL silent, for its
voice has been heard Throughout all
the land
But Liberty is not SAFE It is men
aced along the battle fronts of many
nations, our own among them, and
America requires new motto for her
old Bell: Proclaim liberty through
out ALL LANDS unto all the inhab-
itants thereof Until liberty is safe
In all lands, it can not be safe in our
own. Hence the task to which Amer
lea has reverently and unselfishly ded-
icated herself.
make Motto Real"
1.-The Fathers Of this Republic, men
Of many races, with q common iove of
liberty, wrought into law our ancient
motto, thus giving liberty a chance to
enlighten the world.
To-day we, their descendants, are
called upon to make real the new
motto, and thus to give liberty the
undisputed right to bless the world.
''This can be done but only after
heroic struggle and self-sacrifice. A
premature peace would mean failure.
It would be only less disastrous than
complete defeat. Against all tempta-
tons to compromise he women Of
America should stand drm and united.
"Peace and Safety"
Victory means peace and safety
for our Children defeat means hui
initiation and practical servitude for
them; while negotiated peace, with
the military machine g Prussia un-
broken, means that everything in their
lives must be subordinated to the task
Of preparing for another war with
Germany. We can win now If Amer
lea can be held steadfast and I'M
swerving, and the women of America
can hold her steadfast."

PUBLICITY AND CRITICISM.

Congress shall make no law =
abndging the freedom Of speech or of
the press" 50 reads q clause in our
Constitution.
This 10 q wise provision. The citi-
Gems OF a democracy should at all
times know Of and be able to criticise
the management Of their affairs. In
vestigation and criticism in the pres
emit war have been Of great benefit
IN fastening our preparation by point
1ng out errors that have been made.
There Is no doubt whatever that the
great safeguards in the conduct of the
war are almost unlimited publicity and
the right Of criticism.
We are told that constructive crit
icism is always welcome, but who is
to decide what is constructive? Why
not criticism without the adjective?
Most citizens believe that Universal
Military Training as corrective of
our unpreparedness would have been
constructive, and yet it was not adopt
Cd. Who can tell, if it had been &C.
cepted when first proposed, what the
result would have been on this war!
II we had had more publicity upon
the production of aeroplanes, shipping
and ordnance, the suggestions of think
Ing men would unquestionably have
stimulated the rapidity with which
these articles were being produced,
and the delays that have occurred
miGht have been avoided
There are things the Government
cannot make public, and these the peo-
pie do not ask to know. But in the
main full information concerning the
progress of preparation can safely be
given to the people. 1t is the peoples
war; it is a war supported by the peo-
pie. financially and physically, and
by them should be sought |
and considered.

THE PROPER FOOD FOR WEAK

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. It
Is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to taken and
pleasant In eject. ADV.
