by Secretary Lansing. The secretary
is not a rhetorician. If one MAY
Judge from the printed word, he il
no great shakes of an orator. Blu
there is never any doubt as to what
he means. And he leaves behind hin
a pleasant confidence that he will con
tinue to mean the very thing mex
week, and the week after that, and The
third week succeeding. Since we can
not but attribute to his utterances
even under our funny cabinet system
a good deal of weight as being rep
resentatiye of the administration, tina
Is of the greatest help.
In his latest address in New York
Secretary Lansing put the American
resolve into words very ~splendidly
when Re said that Prussia, havinp
sought war, shall have war and more
war and more war, until the very
thought of war is abhorrent to the
Prussian mind" The Journals opinion
that is ever a better statement of il
than the presidents W force to the
utmost" phrase.
1t smacks of good sense when the
secretary speaks of a long and bitter
struggle ahead of US. Nothing could
be more encouraging to men who dis
trust the administration than his fiat
declaration that Compromise with the
Prussian butchers" would be a nation
al felony. And when he boldly and
naturally speaks of the nations fight
ing on our side as "us and our allies
his horse sense is simply dazzling.
The time for pretty quibbling about
whether England and France and
Italy are our associates or our CO.
belligerents Is long past. 1t was a
silly business from the beginning. If
they are not our allies and we are
not their ally what, in the name of
heaven, are We?
Lansing comes like a glass of pure,
cold water after nectar has begun to
cloy us a tri1e.

TOO MUCH SPEED A DANGER

Farmers living east and north of
the city have done a great deal to
make the roads good and thus permit
the tourist the pleasure of easy rid
ing. This does not mean, however,
that a speed merchant has the right
to violate the law of the road and go
like a streak of lightning. A farmer
has told us that the road in front OF
his farm being excellent, the past week
has seen the killing of w registered
hogs hat broke out of the field and
strayed on the road. With a lawful
pace the auto could have missed this
killing of stock that is needed at this
time. 1t Is just as patriotic to keep
from killing the brute creation, even
though they are out of their place,
as it is to fight for the nations life.
Undue speed means that the driver is
liable to commit a wanton act, with
out really intending to do it. Care
in the driving of a car is just as es.
sential as regulation of the speed. In
the cities the police authorities de-
mand that a man always have his
car under control, regardless of how
slow he is going. Control is the first
consideration Of safety First" Much
has been said by some drivers in the
past of the ~animosity Of the farmer
toward the auto, and how can anyone
expect the farmer to look with favor
on a practice that kills for him val
liable live stock. The stock may be
at large through no fault of the farm
er, and he is entitled to the reason
able regard of the auto driver for the
value of his property. If this matter
Is treated fairly by the autoist there
will be no cause for complaint by any
one.

DON'T BE S

The following clipping from an ex-
change is pretty neal true, as to the
manner of our being hasty about crit
~icising everybody that we hear talk
just a little different from the way
we believe. Patriotism is not true
when it is rashly expressed:
Some months ago-along last July
we wrote an editorial in which we
pointed out the injustice of much crit
icism of individuals for what we as
sumed TO be their attitude toward the
war. We pointed out the danger of
calling a mar a Stacker or saying
that he was yellow We may wake
up some morning and find that he has
enlisted in the submarine service or
the aviation corps or some other
branch of the service.
This is just as true today as it was
then. We have seen maj after man
get into the game as he came to real
ize what the country is up against.
Before America got into the war men
were violent in their support of one
or the other of the warning nations.
Now that we are in it ourselves thous.
ands of men who were violent parti.
sans OF Germany have come across in
fine shape.
I'VE must believe that our people
are loyal. One thing is certain: This
community has done its duty from the
beginning. Very few places of the
size, if any in this state, have sent
more men into the service. We have
put all our drives across in good
shape and we were one of the first
communities to go over the top in the
last loan. When those wonderful men
that We have sent into the service
come marching home again we shall
be able to meet them with a clear
eye and an honest grip. We are not
through yet-far from it. Many of
our military leaders think the war
will last for three years yet, at least.
We must be prepared for many sac.
%rifces. None have come so far, but
they will come before it is over. We
shall keep up u courage and our
work without faltering."
