Have You Voted Confidence
in the Presidents Decision?
From the New York SUM-

The Presidents decision upon the
German requests has done more than
to make clear the American measure
Of the essentials Of peace. 1t has given
to America itself a crystal idea Of the
Importance of what must be done in
the four remaining days Of this week.
We do not doubt that every intelli-
gent American received with Joy the
news that there will be no short cut to
false peace through compromise with
a dynasty which has lived by war and
which would have nothing in its mind.
If IL were admitted TO conference as
the representative OF its subjects, ex-
cept the plan Of future and more sue
cessful wars.
America knows now that 10 is to be
civilizations incessant battle against
professional war until all Germany UNI
derstands and acts, until Germany has
learned something that 10 will never
forget. 1t Is to be war until further
wars are made impossible by the dis
appearance Of the HOhenzOllerns.
II Americans were asked TO go 10
the polls today and register opinion for
or against the Presidents decision, the
vote OF approval would be Oyerwhelm-
ing. Well, Germany is waiting TO hear
from something which is more than a
mere paper balloting. She awaits the
result Of the casting Of our vote of ma
terial strength. She will be listening
on Saturday night.
The question upon which America is
asked 10 vote Is this: Is the Presidents

decision, approved on the lips and IN
the hearts Of the hundred. millions,
worthy Of the force necessary to cram
the decision down the Prussian throat2
Shall we put gladly into the hands OF
the government the six billion dollars
IL asks, or shall we. by failing to over
subscribe the Fourth Loan, give to Ger
many's autocrats the right to say TO
their people that the people Of the Unit
ed States are unwilling to support the
Presidents expression Of unbending
purpose?
Relaxation now. hesitation now,
says Mr.. Wilson, would mean defeat
when victory seems to be in sight;
would mean years OF war instead OF
peace upon our own terms" On our
own terms and at a price so small, SO
far as money is concerned, that II Is
no price at ALL
There is no misunderstanding OF the
situation among the Americans VINO are
offering their lives in France or on the
sea. Germany falters, they drive on.
No American in Europe has to be re-
minded of his duty. He fights with
the fury Of the righteous, but his
strength, his arms, his spirit, depend
upon the support, material and moral,
that comes from this side Of the At
lantic. What would the offset be upon
him II the whisper passed down the
battle line next Sunday morning that
the loan had failed?
What would France and England
think of us? What laughter would not
run through Germany

EQUALS.


A LII men are created equal but remain so only TIL
"A Reason seats itself on the throne of each mans
mind.
The sceper Of Commonsense lifts its possessor above
his fellows who tumble in the dark of delusion and
ignorance.
Democracy represents equal opportunity. Which does
not mean that man is a good another II he's a
moral pervert or a criminal menace TO society.
Shall the meaning of Equality" be accepted literally,
with dogmatic adherence TO the letter.
If So parasite is placed par with producer: shirker
ranks with worker the respect accorded captain
of industry will be due to barnacle the bottom OF
The Ship Of Service.
II men remained equal, evolution would automatically
slow down to the pace Of the least progressive.
Education is the great equalizer II awakens the hook
to vie with the bookworm 1t fires and inspires by
example.
Man will always pass and surpass his fellows up 70
certain point Of mental development
TIL all men make the Of all opportunities, Till
enlightenment itself is equal to all, few Of viii be
equals despite equal rights and equality at birth.
That is something that II will be well for Deawareans
10 remember Equality Of creation and Of opportunity
must be followed by equality Of energy and thoroughness

the equal Of The life patriot. who does his best.
