We have known one of the new Kansas lieutenants from childhood and he will direct his men thus: Now, gentlemen, let us desist from further conversation and charge the enemy.

There will be IT ! !|Z !l( fault-nndings and discon1ent, B6t that has been an incida ht to all our wars It is an inHdent to our free-and- easy democracy. It will come again inevitably. Do not let us join the band of faint h carts when the time of criticism comes, or withhold our support when the inevitable shortcomings of democracy must come. Then is the time for stout hearts to stand by their country and say that no matter what mistakes are made we will stand by our Government and our country. We will not permit the chorus of discontent and criticism to obscure the real instincts of patriotism. We will stand by the Government now and all shout hosannas. We will stand by the President as we stood by Lincoln when the faint-hearted were crying that the war was a failure.
