We should have allowed this new

We should have proved that be.

We might have accepted the sew.

for cotton, but we could not have

commanded to DO it. By so doing
We should have accepted degrade
ton. We should have begun, after
winning our freedom in our own
revolution and establishing a union
on the foundation Of liberty in the
blood and tears of our war between
the states, to knuckle under to autoc-
racy! We should have basely yielded
up our birthright as Americans.
Such a thought is intolerable. Peace
at such price would not be peace,
but only a preparation for future
revolt against subjugation. Better
any sort of war; better war forever.
that that.
Whenever the time comes for new
sacrifices, let us remember that we

for the right to live in the future, but
, for the right to make living this

What the Imperial German govern
ment offered the farmers of America
in it's ruthless submarine warfare was
not the loss of profits, but slavery tc
the saber-rattler of Potsdam. He plr-
posed to make us slaves by murder
ing the people who took our products
to market. By all the laws of civil
lied warfare, comm cree under neu-
trail flag was free from any hindrance
except the legal interference justified
by war. But the Germans not only
stopped merchant vessels, they sank
them. Sank them without warning,
without trace-the most devilish
thing war has seen since the savageS
scalped our ancestors and threw
screaming babies into the flames of
burning cabins.
The German plan Of sinking mer-
chant vessels without trace is based
on the murderer's maxim that dead
men tell no tales" 1t was exc
cuted by the massacre Of men, wom-
en- and children, who, having COM
mitted themselves to small boats in
the open sea after their ships were
torpedoed, were mercilessly raked
with gunfire, and exterminated to the
last unprotected, unpitied soul. These
are the murders that stain the hands
of the Kaiser, his advisers and min
ions. These outrages were perpetrated
on neutral vessels when>all that civ
ilized warfare gave the Germans g
right to do even with the merchant
vessel under a hostile flag, was to
stop it at sea and make it a prize ot
war.
To kill the civilians on board, ever
under hostile flag, was nothing but
unmitigated murder. And these mur
ders were committed in order that We
might be enslaved! Having the
right to take the sea with his fleet
| but bein@ i, rad to do so for fear ht
might lose it, an9 being unable b.
fair means to sop the selling of ou
products to his enemies. the Kaise
declared that he VI aid do it by tn,
foulest methof5 ever resorted to il
war. He declared IT, sea closed
and that he wcuil !lc2p it closed, no
by war, but by niar,.ar.

BREED THEATRE,

Constance Talmadge's latest Select Picture. The Lesson, which will be the feature attraction at the Breed theatre today and Saturday, is highly en- iertaininc photoplay-- wholesome. de- lishtfu! and mlsterfully presented. The Lesson is a charming tale of the romance of a pair of typical young Americsns--100 per cent real folks whose life and love is just what we see about us all the time and. every where. But even more than its story value. The Lesson IS so meritorious because of its wonderfully true to life portrayal of small town life. It is a picture you will always remember fondly and vividly. and to which you will take your father and mother, your sister and brother, your wife and sweetheart. That is the highest pos sihle recommendation-an The Lesson deserves it, Carmel Myers will also be seen in The Girl in the Dark, a five part BluehiTd production and the Hearst -Pathe news will complete the bill for today and Saturday.
