Nothing was said in either docu-
ment about democracy. We are
not a democracy No democracy

this war, except for the brief period
I when Russia gave us the object

| Not being a democracy ourselves,
the average American may wonder
why We should sacrifice our lives
and our property 10 impose upon
other people a form OF government
that We have not yet adopted or

WAVES BLOODY SHIRT OF
ANCIENT HISTORY AGAIN.

Contrast this patriotic record
with that or the opposition party
when the nation was fighting for its
life and Abra ham Lincoln was in
the white house I'm its national
platform in 1885, il denounced the
war as a failure and demanded the
immediate cessa ton OF hostili-
ties.
Individual protest must fail but
guided and backed by the strength
OF a party. and used only in a con-
strUctive way for the purpose of
making more efficient the conduct
OF the war-it can raise voice
which Will be listened 70 by the ma
tion.
The country had just as we'll be
informed now that while We shall
give our support TO the administra-
tion in every honest effort 10 carry
on this war. We will not be throttled
when things go wrong and We shall
not hesitate 10 call attention TO
shortcomings and mistakes IN the
conduct OF the war. In supreme
crisis like the present the man who
does not lift his voice against that
which hampers the efforts or our
bows In France is less than a patriot
and worse than a coward. and the
man or party who will not. under
such circumstances give him a fair
hearing but for political reasons
raise the cry of treason against him,
does not belong in this free country

SNEERS AT TALK OF WAR
To SAVE DEMOCRACY.
If we can bring our people 10
understand that the war is not an
academic discussion in the field OF
political economy. but a conflict in
volving the honor. integrity and
sa afety Of America = nd OF American
ideals. there need be no fear that
we will nos wage this war with ever
resource and every energy at the ma
tons command. There will never
be doubt as TO ultimate victory.
Unfortunately, we have heard too
much about fighting 10 give

a nd not enough a about the real rea-
sons for which We actually went 10

For two and a half years we care

while the nations OF Europe were

ciples they are fighting for today.
Not only this, but in the meantime

in the Balkans, but we went to war,
and that was the reason given 10
