Not Vengeance, but Justice

To the Editor Of the EVenin0 Public Ledger:
Sir-Your editorial on President wilson's
reply to Germany in last nights paper de-
serves more than passing notice. for the
future security Of the nation depends upon
the repetition and dissemination Of such
IDEAS.
In the full hush Of victory we are too
apt to forget reasons for entering this
war, and, in fact, certain elements are
doing their best to make us forget. Theodore
Roosevelt and Lodge, of Massachusetts,, for,
example, seem intent on stampeding the
nation into a demand for a war of revenge\
and determination, which, If successful would
nullify Americas great mission and undo all
tho good brought about by Americas
entrance in the war.
Let us stop at nothing short of the Presi-
dents demands let US be cure the guarantees
Of their permanence are adequate. but for
the sake of future peace and those who
have died in the noblest cause in history. let
US SOW no new seeds of international dis
cord-let US continue to keep our own banner
spotless and unsullied and demand. not
vengeance, but justice.

ciates iK the movement for Czecho. .Slovak

1t is not always adequately realized that

this war are Of the sort that must endure
through all time, above all wars and over

They are conquests in friendship.
We are seeking nothing material in re-
turn for all our unparalleled expenditures.
The esteem that we shall have won in
Middle Europe alone among the peoples
who would not have been lifted from op.

something that will endure to serve not
only ourselves but the rest of mankind
For Middle Europe is certain to be demo-

THE READERS VIEWPOINT

are we'll aware that some physicians still cling
tenaciously to whisky a remedy; but 1t
liz essential that the public does not lose
sight OF the fact that the remedy, so-called,
often proves woree than the disease. II a
mans life is hanging by thread. SO to
speak. he would far better be given his
chance to pull through without whisky than
be made sorry victim of the whisky habit.
During the past week the writer's work has
taken her among people who have long been
either directly or indirectly-v.ctims OF the
whisky habit; for il drupkard neglects
his wife and children uses abusive language,
turns his home into hell on earth, then the
wire and children. though they be total
abs>'iners. are victims of the whisky habit
that may have been implanted by tine use of
whisky as remedy. The city is full of
sordid neighborhoods where wives and chill
oren are living In squalor. and in 95 per cent
or these homes whisky was the cause of
the squalor.
what doth 1t profit If whisky cures the
oody but casts the soul into hell?
