Editor Progressive.
The Press has been discussing the
subject of the resolution submitted |
BY Senator Trammill and adopted
by the U. S. Senate on Aug. 22 ur-
gently requesting those states !
which have not done so to promptly |
enact laws which will provide for
the voting of absent soldiers and
sailors The American people are
grateful to the men who are giving
great struggle for democracy and
would not with hold any privilege
their service and theirlives in this
or plans from them. But
it would be impossible to secure the
vote of these men who are in diffi-
rent environments in the U. 5. and
the armies ssover there, and the
vessels on the seas, for their pref
erence for the different candidates
in the campaign that is now on
hand to fill the several civil offices
in district, county and state as it
would be practically impossible to
secure their choice, besides itwould
be demoralizing to the military dis
ciplins in the army and navy to at
tempt such scheme.
A good soldier is one who obeys
orders from his superior officers
whether that is the most critical in
camp life, on the march, in bivouac,
or on the battlefelds where he must
give his life, if it is necessary to
fulfill these orders. The U. S. Gov
eminent has for time immemorlal
withheld the right of suffrage from
her soldiers and sailors, for the
reason that it would create insub-
ordination to have political subjects
discussed by the soldiers and sail
ors.

Understanding the Bible.

l believe that the Bible Is to be un-

PRESIDENT WILL VISIT
GRAVES OF FRENCH HEROES
President Wilson Has Long Talk With
General FOch and Plans Visit 10
Graves OF Soldiers.

Paris, December 1S-With improved
weather conditions, President Wilson
took up again the matter of plans for
60-mile motor trip to the old battle
line near Paris He hoped to be able
to make brief stops at one or more
cemeteries within the war zone and
pay tribute at the graves of the men
who fell to save democracy. This visit
of the President to the battlefelds on
which France fought for its life has
aroused more public interest than any
other event since the first tumultuous
greeting to the nations guest.
The President and Marshal Foch in
their half-hour conference, last night
discussed mainly the armistice. Mr..
Wilson was most favorably impressed
according to Marcel Hutin of the Echo
de Paris. Hutin states that it is most
probable that the treaty of peace will
be signed at Versailles some time
about the beginning of June and that
Marshal Foch will lead the Allied
armies under the arch of triumph in
Paris within Is days after peace is de-
clared.
President Wilson is expected to
make his first statement in his adj
dress to the soldiers of the American
Expeditionary Forces at General Per-
shing's army headquarters on Christ
mas day.
