answer as to their loyalty.
If negotiation were to bring the
war to an indeterminate end, leaving
Germany free to build itself up for
another british raid against peaceful
lands, mothers whose sons have sac
rificed their lives to the end that a
genuine peace might come, other
mothers whose sons have given years
of their lives for the same purpose
would have the right to feel outraged
if any national political juggling were
permitted to stand in the way OF
thorough defeat of the enemy.
Women of intelligence, even better
than the young soldiers, know what
any finish of the war other than that
of absolute victory by the allies would
mean. They are giving their sons to
see that the one rightful end is posi-
BILE; they are making the greatest OF
sacrifices except that of their lives
and what mother would not gladly
give her life If that would save her
boy? If they can say fight until VIC
tory is won, who shall dare say no?

CHAIRMAN TAYLOR MAKES A
FATAL MISTAKE.

In forging letter in the name of
F. r. Gooding in which that gentle
man was represented as in a recep-
tive mood regarding the endorsement
of the nonpartisan league, the action
of S. d. Taylor, chairman Of the re-
publican state committee, is abso-
lutely indefensible. From his own
personal standpoint it was morally
wrong, but If the evil consequences
could have been confined to the eff
feet upon him personally Mr.. Tay-
lor's attempt to justify his act might
be received with some FEASIBILITY
But he deliberately placed ex-Gov-
ernor Gooding, republican candidate
for United States senator, in a false
position, representing him as being
willing to accept endorsement from
the nonpartisan league, which meant
a complete reversal of his we'll known
attitude toward that organization.
This was a grievous wrong to Gov
ernor Gooding, for If Taylors scheme
had succeeded and Gooding had re-
ceived the endorsement of the league,
that organization would always have
regarded Gooding as having surren-
dered his convictions in order to in
sure his election with the help of the
nonpartisan league votes. Nor did
the wrong committed by Mr.. Taylor
stop with himself and Governor
Gooding AS the head of the repub-
lican organization, Mr.. Taylor should
have regarded the good name of the
