The Democratic candidate for Gov

doubt will be Indignantly resented by
patriotic citizens everywhere. II reads

Walter NJ. Pierce start to ask you for

To anybody who knows the thrifty,

low mockery OF that expression ap'
peals with the most disgusting effect.
They know that every grain OF
wheat in Walters broad acres was
harvested to bring that S2.20 bushel
to Walters bank account, and they
cannot resist an angry feeling upon
seeing this attempt to use the name
OF the noble boys at the front for the
ignoble purpose Of securing himself
some votes,

It is the patriotic duty OF every citi-
zen to assist in the election of men
who, by reason Of their ability and ex-
perience, are not only best qualified
to serve during the war, but who will
also be able to assist in solving salts
factorily the many reconstruction
problems with which this country will
be confronted after the war. The rec
ords OF Senator McNary and Repre-
sentatives Hawley, Sinnott and Nc
Arthur and Governor Withycombe are

triotlsm are unquestioned. They are

Manifestly the German nation was
convinced that all it had to do, In
order to obtain peace, was to suggest
it to Germany's foes. Nobody else
really had anything to do with 1t.
Great Germany, which began the war
would stop it with a word. All the
allies had to do was to sign on the
dotted line.
1t was a curious exhibition of Ger
man arrogance and insolence, none
the less offensive for being uncon-
scious. 1t was proof enough that
the German state OF mind which was
at the bottom of all this war bus
mess is not yet eradicated. The Ger
mans still seem to feel that their
country is all-powerful. Defeats, oil
which they really know little, have
not sufficiently shaken that conf
dence. They cannot see straight yet.
Their attitude is still the old, inso-
lent attitude Of German superiority
to the rest Of the universe, their way
of political thinking is still the way
of autocracy and absolutism.
There is disappointment and rage
in Germany now. at the discovery
that it is not so easy to stop the wal
as it was to start it. But even so
they do not rage at their guilty mas
ters SO much as at the enemy nation!

IS WILSON LIKE LINCOLN?

ON March IS, 1868, President Ap-
rabam Lincoln wrote the following
letter 10 Henry Winter Davis;
Ny Dear Sir: There will be in the
new house of representatives, as
there were in the old, some members
openly opposing the war; some sup
norting it with butts" and Ifs" and
lands" They will divide on the or
ganization of the house-on the elec-
ton of a speaker.
As YOU ask my opinion, l give IT,
that the supporters of the war should
send to congress no man who VIII
not pledge himself to go into caucus
with the unconditional supporters OF
the war, and to abide the action Oh
such caucus and vote for the person
therein nominated for speaker
Let the friends Of the government
first save the government and then
administer to their own liking.
Two years ago President Wilson
was being likened to Abraham Lin
coin. Today the war in which the
country is engaged is, as was the
war in 1868, supported in congress
by some Internationally, and by
some with "buts" and "ifs" and
"ands." In this classification they
are not today distinguished by part!

guished more or less in 1868.
Yet, in Mr.. Lincoln's letter Their

The only test he names is uncondi
tional support of the war by the can

In this respect there is no CON
parison between Lincoln and Wilson
Lincoln only wanted congressman

Wilson acknowledges that the r.

that. He wants them to be pro-Wi
