SOME MORE LIGHT
ON THE KAISER
(Contributed.)

(Contrlbuted.)
More light on the kaiser and his
plottings and ambitions is shed by
former Ambassador David Jayne
Hill, writing of his experiences at
the Hun court in Harper's. DR.. Hills
ambassadorship began in 1908 and
it is of that period that he writes
when he gives us this Illuminating
passage:
Nothing can be more certain
than that William ii earnestly de-
sired to maintain friendship with
the United States, but he did not
wish the American system to gain
foothold in Europe, or that in
ternational relations should be made
to rest upon a body of well-defined
law and tribunal with authority to
interpret and apply it. Such sys-
tenn would inevitably in time, if log
ically carried out, diminish the ne
cessity for armies, and what would
then become of the War Lord? If
the observation-disclosures, ship
owners and traders doing business
internationally - could carry their
wrongs to a court of justice, it
could not fail to affect the status
of kings and emperors as well as
of armies and navies."
SO it is. When democracy comes
in kings go out. When the people
rule individual despots have no
power.
The kaiser didn't want interna
tional relationships to rest upon
treaties that would have to be re-
spected. He didn't want information
al affairs to be determined by clear
cut, well-defined law. He wanted
them to rest upon the within of an
autocrat, he being that autocrat! He
wanted to keep on being an auto
crat.
If there could be no wars THERE
COULD BE NO WAR LORDS!
When the war lord made this war
he thought he was perpetuating the
war lord Understanding safe
the institution of autocracy.
But the free people of the world
have willed otherwise. They have
had to accept the war lords gauge
of battle in order that war lord
isra may be crushed. By his own
methods will the autocrat be van
pushed forever.
The war lord feared popular in
situations, hated freedom for the
people, fought to retain his mas
terry and his position. Now all is
in the fire. And the white-hot rage
of civilization is burning up the
whole hated business. He ordered
his hosts to attack Liberty and
Liberty has sounded for him the
crack of doom.
The kind of government that
makes of one man master and the
rest slaves must give way to the
kind that makes all men free and
that gives all men equal opportun-
ity for individual development and
growth.
When DR.. Hill first met the kaiser
the Hun chieftain was in shining
white armor, like an operate hero.
But the rust is on his trappings and
the fury Of the world is sweeping
them and the hideOus thing they
symbolic into oblivion. In the dust
from whence they came they shall
be buried.
"He did not wish the American
system to gain a foOthOld in Eu-
rope" says DIR. Hill. His retreat
ing armies bear testimony to the
death of his hopes.

ARE HOWLING
FOR CONSUMPTION
OF WORKINGMEN

There are still too many men in
the country whose patriotism is all
in their mouths. There is no love
of country, of free institutions, of
democracy, in their hearts.
These trained wolves, hired to do
the dirty work of their masters,
the profiteers, still loudly insist that
labor, that group of American citi-
zens which is doing most to win the
war for freedom, shall be conscript-
ed for industrial purposes. Their
masters have become so accustomed
to worship the almighty dollar that
only the most degrading form Of
wage slavery will satisfy their lust
for gain.
These animals created in the form
of man are more obstructive to the
governments prosecution of the war
against autocracy than are the viola
tors of the espionage act, who suffer
penal servitude for their violations
Of law
They know better but their SER
vile hearts will not let them do
better.
The worst of it is that they in
fluence the unthinking who will not
try to inform themselves. This
kind of men have so long served
a master that they are unfit to be
citizens of free country
Labor is doing its share, yea more
than its share, to aid the country
in its hour of need.
They ask nothing but a square
deal and this they insist upon.
Such men as President Wilson,
Secretaries McAdoo, Lansing, Baker,
Daniels, Houston and Wilson, are
well satisfied with the part played
by labor in this great tragedy and
they, too, insist that labor shall be
given a square deal They know
that organized labor is playing
noble and patriotic part in the world
war.
They know that labor is contribut-
ing more, proportionately, than any
other group to finance the govern
ment in this Gigantic struggle.
They know that a CONSUMPTION
law aimed at labor will create dis
Sention and dissatisfaction that will
handicap the government in its eff
forts to defeat its enemies. They
know that such law would be I'M
just to the workers and dangerous
to the cause. They know that such
a law would change willing fighters
and workers to sullen, dumb driven
cattle with nothing to fight for but
the greed of their taskmasters.
AS instances of labor's loyalty to
the nation read what Mr. Neale the
Fuel Administration Director of
Coal Production, has to say about
the cause of coal shortage in this
issue.
The coal miners of Alabama have
announced they will work on Labor
Day and give the earnings of that
day to the Red Cross. That looks
like whole-hearted patriotism, doesn't
it?
Would the CONSUMPTION howlers do
this?
Read the record of any trades
union and you will find it squarely
back of the government in this war.

Prof c. Ehrngart and wife, Mrs.
Julie M. Ehrngart, of New York city,
together with their son, Capt. Chas.
Ehrngart, of the 106th Regimant band,
Camp Wadsworth, visited their FRIEND
II. ID. Harris, at the Hiawatha, the
weekend last week. This was the
first visit South of Mr.. and Mrs. Ehrn-
gart. They were delighted with much
they saw and of especial interest was
the cotton fields and growing of cotton.
Through the courtesy Of the superin-
tendent they went through the Pickens
cotton mills and were shown the pro-
ceSses from the cotton bale to the fin
ished cloth. This was of special inter
est, being the first time they had seen
such. Accompanying them on the visit
was Capt. A. G. Dawson of Nova
Scotia, who was in command of the
steamship Owasco formerly the Allie
mania, an interned German vesseD
which was taken over. Newspaper
readers will recall this vessel was tor
pedOed in the Mediterranean just after
leaving Gibralter few months ago
The captain, like most commanders, is
somewhat reticent about his part in the
affair, but facetiously remarked that
while such little things are to be ex-
pected now but if it is all the same to
them he hopes they will, the next time,
| select a time when the water is not
quite SO cold. 1t will be remembered
there were only two lives lost on this
occasion Come again friends; always
| glad to see Won *k&

received fairer treatment than came
to our American preachers.
Hatch says in "The Organization
of the Early Christian Churches
that they supplemented their allow
ances by farming or by trade, and
that there was no sense of incOn-
gruity in their doing so. The Apos-
tolical Constitutions repeat with en-
phasis the apostolical injunction, "if
any would not work, neither should
he eat" He affirms that there is no
early trace of the later idea that
buying and selling, handicraft and
farming were in themselves incon-
sistent with the office of Christian
minister, The bishops and presbyters
of those early days kept banks, prac-
ticed medicine, wrought as silver
smith, tended sheep or. sold their
goods in the open market; Beyond
doubt the method Of supplying the
& scriptural and is also based on
common sense, reinforced by exper-
lence, but in the name of all that is
fair and sacred, if the preacher must
work for his support in secular
business, he should have praise, not
censure and suspicion.
Brother Holder had long and
cvcntful life, extending almost over
q century of marvellous progress. 1t
is surprisingly interesting process
to, compare the world of 1926, into
which Benjamin Holder came, with
the same world in the year 1918,
when he passed out to his great re-
ward. The story Of the progress
made by the Baptist denomination
reads like a fairy tale, yet amid all
this tide of new events, Brother Hol-
der never lost interest in the chang
even while sitting peacefully in the
western porch of life waiting for his
sun to set, he was much alive to all
that concerned the welfare of his
Lords kingdom, and was comforted
with the assurance that his redeem
ed soul was facing the sunrise of a
larger day.
