VI Jul tlleIG are llO CRIES Vi LOuS
Pd the king" The world has done
h akings of the Hohenzollern's type
the news of his abdication has
|ked in the nations capital no word
sympathy for fallen greatness.
Tor has it caused unmiXed rejOic-
for there follows in it's train the
eat of anarchy and civil war. In
out of administration circles, how
L, there is sober and profound sat
action at the passing from auto
tic power of the last human OBJ
Dcle to world peace.
1T is the fall of anti-Christ and
the wreck of absolute monarchies,"
said high civil functionary. upon
the hands and heart and head of this
man rests responsibility for the
slaughter of more than 100000 of his
fellow men and the crippling of per-
hapS twice as many more.
Henceforth S Pariah.
"He has Invested himself of the
symbols of power, but he cannot, so
long as he lives, Shrive his soul of
the crimes he has committed against
humanity. From this day hencefOrth
he is a pariah, and all those who
carry the faint of his blood will be So
cial Outcasts.
His punishment is unreasonable.
Those who cry out for his trial and
condemnation and death are really
| pleading for mercy for him, for death
would be sweet release to any mortal
in his position.
"For the sake of all humanity the
kaiser that was should be permitted to
live and suffer. He is mankind's hor-
rible example of the results OF abuse
of power. Some of us will say that SO
long as he lives he will be menace /
do not believe it.
His rule has not endeared him even
to those nearest to him, and his sons
without exception are as heartily hated
and distrusted The military party
has fallen with him, and the junkers
to save themselves and their proper
ties will out-radical the radicals.
Dynasty Forever Ended.
"The German people, having been
freed of an incubus and having tasted
the elixir of liberty, will never again
submit to autocratic power. The Ho-
henzollern dynasty is ended, the Haps-
burg dynasty will follow and then we
shall have come to the end forever of
the rule of Morse, Caesars and cZars.
Peace that will be enduring is shining
through the bloody mists that have
lowered over Europe for nearly four
and one-half years"
Wants Another St. Helena.
Senator Ashurst of Arizona said:
1.-THE kaiser should not be let off
with a mere abdicatiOn. He and Won
Hindenburg, Ludendorff and Won Tir-
pitt should be sent to st. Helena for
life. The Prussian autOcracy should
be reduced to such condition of
feebleness that it would be inmate
rial whether they kept the peace or
not"
Senator McCumber of North Da-
kota said:
II certainly hope the report of the
abdicatiOn is true. nope that II means
not only the kaiser, but also the entire
royal family.
1.-THE abdication of the kaiser will
hasten the coming of peace, and l am
very glad that the kaiser has at last
decided to quit"
Must Be Punished.
Senator John Sharp Williams said:
1.-THE emperor of Germany has vio-
lated in the most 'frightful' way the
essential laws of humanity and civili-
cation and of necessity he must be
punished We need not call in the
mob and rend him limb from limb But
before the high tribunal of interna-
tional justice he should be solemnly
summoned to appear and stand trial
1.-THE evidence should be heard, the
facts should be weighed, the verdict
should be rendered with dignity and
decision and this arch enemy of civili-
zation should be punished before the
world as the magnitude of his crimes
against the world demands"
