THE MORAL SIDE OF 1T.

The moral side of President Wilson's strategy
seems to bear more fruit now than ever. It has
been said that his attempt to cleave the German
people and their kaiser resulted only in cement
ing them and this seemed true. But it still re-
mains fact that many enlightened people in Ger
many and Austria would welcome a civilized
democratic form of government. They see now
what awful pass militarism has led them to.
This is the first fruit of Mr.. Wilson's moral at
tack Finally all in the aftermath it seems that
this world war had to be- For many years the
conflict between two forms Of government has
been steadily drawing closer. On one side the
democratic peoples of the world made their sac
rifces in blood and money for realities in the
way Of freedom. Runnymede and LIE Place Bas-
tile stand with Lexington, Concord and Gettys-
burg as sanctuaries of freedom. Democracy in
a word means the freedom Of the Individual to
grow to better things unfettered by caste and
privilege. Autocratic government pretends at
it's best to do all things for all men but to let
them do nothing for themselves. Some under
stand these differences and yet profess that au-
tocratic government is the best. To these it may
be said that ticket to Germany is waiting for
them and they had best hike at once. But even
there they may be disappointed for there is no
assurance that Germany will not eventually be-
come democratic.

SENATOR OWENS SPEECH.

Senator Owen said lot in New York speech
last week. Among other things:
America probably will have 100000 men on
the battle line before the end Of 1918, and what
ever large number is necessary will be forthcom-
ing to establish once more the doctrine implant-
ed by God himself in the human heart that JUS
tice will triumph over injustice, inhumanity and
terrorism.
civilian II took the German overlords of in
dustry and commerce upon high mountain and
showed them the riches of the world. They &C
copied his promises and the war began with a
view to the invasion Of Belgium, the taking of
Paris, the imposition of indemnity on Russia and
the overwhelming of Great Britain.
"Whereupon the kaiser would have carried
out his deadly threat to Ambassador Gerard that
after the war he would stand no nonsense from
America
''The kaiser was quite right. After the war
the kaiser will stand no nonsense from America,
for the best of reasons. There will be no kaiser.
"The entente allies are growing daily in power.
The German man power is being ground to pow
der. The United States is exerting every .ener-
gy. We will cover the sea with ships. We will
cover the land with men and guns and ammuni-
ton and the material for successful war.
"All these things we shall do, but we can do
more. We can explain to the unhappy, mised
German people the pathway of peace"

AN ANNUAL AFFAIR.

Without wishing to perpetrate the annual ode
to spring it may be said that now is the most de-
lightful season Of the year. Take ride any
place-in any direction-and see if it doesn't
take at least ten years off your shoulders and let
goodness and light into your careworn soul. If
you are that fortunate and happy that you pos
sess neither car or other equipage then-by all
means-walk! This last is best for then and
then only can you feel the grass spring and grow
under your horny, city-worn feet. Get into the
open we say! Commune, as the poet says, with
nature in her happiest moods. See the green
grass pushing up through the soil. Smell the in
cense Of a thousand wild flowers. View the riot
of exquisite coIors finer and by far more beauti-
full than you could ever see on the tabled canvas
ses of the great art galleries. Hear the birds
trill-in a word, you old Cuss-win back your
boyhood if you can.

AN EXCELLENT PLAN.

From what the Herald has learned of the "war
chest" plan Of raising war funds the idea seems
excellent. Much hasty organizing can be elm
mated and a considerable burden taken from the
shoulders of those people who all along have been
doing the soliciting. The plan is now. being used
in other communities and in Rock county the
whole county is placed under this system Should
the plan be put into effect throughout Grant
county it should be done Systematically. Assess
ments should be made fairly and not cut unless
the committee has positive assurance that the
man is unable to pay the amount asked.
In the matter of Sinking there is but one
ansWer-no one should be allowed to shirk with
out being told plainly that he is Stacker. This
war work must be met and met properly. We
cannot and should not evade it. For each Stacker
others must pay more than their fair share of
the burden.

-OOO-
WILLIAM DISAPPOINTED.

Evidently the kaiser did plan on a general up
rising in this country if the reputed discovery of
huge stores Of rifles and munitions in New York
is fact. Seems that the Schutzenverein boys
were to form the backbone of the revolt and the
other sympathizers were to tail along. Well
the plot died aborning and it is a fact that the
majority of the Germans in this country would
as soon cut off their right arms as to revolt
against their beloved America. But should any
group want to try it-well some Of the stay-at-
homes would like to burn little powder and
string few hemp neckties in an excellent cause.

FORGET PARTY LINES.

The Mineral Point Tribune, an otherwise good
little paper, is devoting considerable editorial
spase to little filings at the administration in par
ticular and the democratic party in general. The
Herald doubts much if this is relished by the
Tribune readers. In word is this a good
time to be knocking? In word didn't the people
elect Mr.. Wilson and haven't we Republicans
enough to do in buying Liberty Bonds, contribut-
ing to the Red Cross, minding food conservation
and in other ways doing our share of the war
work without criticising in small sort of way :?
Fine patriotism consists in pulling together and
not splitting up over old party issues-always
more or less of a bore anyhow.

PRINCIPE is DEAD.

Principe, the assassin, real or reputed, of the
Austrian Grandduke, died the other day in a
Prague fortress. Millions have died since that
pistol shot but for some unknown reason Prin-
cipe was allowed to live and expiate his crime in
prison. Not that the would not have come.
Decidedly not. The German warlords' had it
planned and only wanted pretext. Some claim
they deliberately planned the dukes death for
an excuse to fire the torch But Principe, to be
known through the ages, is dead
