RIP VAN WINkLE AGAIN.

According to telegraphic advice
from Reno, Nevada, miner by the
name of Charles McNeal, has just
found out that the world is involved
in a great war. Four years ago he
discovered gold in paying quantities
sixty-fve miles from a railroad and
has been digging the yellow metal
from the earth ever since. A few
days ago he arrived at Reno with
s65,O0O worth of nuggets, depositing
it in a bank. After having been in
formed of the war situation he bought
literally of bonds and offered to en-
list. But he could not go to war on
account of his age and says that he
is going to invest every cent of the
$4,000 in government securities and
go back to his mine and get more gold
and buy more bonds. Nothing wrong
with the patriotism of Charles
McNeal.

sort simply could not last, and there
was for it no remedy but an ex-
plosion. So the explosion came and
since that explosion the possibility OF
another one has been substantially
elimated through a material curtail-
ment of the representation OF the
South in Republican national con-
ventions and through tacit agree
ment all around that the function OF
the national committee, hereafter, in
making up the roll of convention
is to be the ascertainment OF the
action OF the constituencies repres-
ented and not the determination OF
the presidential nomination.
So the reported reconciliation OF
Roosevelt and Taft is of much more
significance than a mere personal
agreement. 1t is significant recog-
milton that the condition in the Repub-
lican party which amounted to very
serious and chronic disease, has been
cured. If there had been no such con-
dition in 1908, it is very doubtful If
Roosevelt ever would have been able
to have nominated Taft for president,
and if the same condition had not ex-
listed with emphasis in 1912, Roosevelt
would undoubtedly have been able to
take back from Taft the nomination
which he had given to Taft four years
before. But with that condition elimi-
mated, if either of them ever comes
back to a position of party leadership,
it will be because public opinion with
in the party puts him there, and If
public opinion ever does that there
will be nothing more to do about it.
In other words, the Republican
party, having by circumstances hard
ly within it's control, gotten into a
very unfortunate predicament, has
paid the price, gotten over its trouble
and is ready to come back.

.W.S.S.-
4 NATIONS DUTY.

President Roosevelt in his message
to congress, December 3, 1906: 1t
must ever be kept in mind that war is
not merely justiiable, but imperative,
upon honorable men, upon an honor
able nation, where peace can only be
obtained by the sacrifice OF conscienti-
Gus conviction or national welfare.
Peace is normally great good, and
normally it comedies with righteous
ness; but it is righteousness and not
peace which should bind the consci-
ence of a nation as it should bind the
conscience of an individual; and
neither a nation nor an individual can
surrender conscience to another's
keeping. Neither can nation. which
is an entity, and which does not die as
individuals die, refrain from taking
thought for the interest Of the genera
tions that are to come, no less than
for the interest of the generation of
today; and no public men have a
right, whether from shortsightedness,
from selfish indifference, or from
sentimentality, to sacrifice national
interests which are vital in character.
A just war is in the long run far bet
ter for nations soul than the most
prosperous peace obtained by &C
quiescence in wrong and injustice.
Moreover, though it is criminal for
nation not to prepare for war, SO that
it may escape the dreadful conse-
quences Of being defeated in war, yet
it must always be remembered that
even to be defeated in war may be
better than not to have fought at all.
AS has been we'll and finely said, a
beaten nation is not necessarily a dis
graced nation; but the nation or man
is disgraced if the obligation to defend
right is shirked.
We should as a nation do every
thing in our power for the cause Of
honorable peace. 1t is morally as in
defensible for a nation to commit a
wrong upon another nation, strong or
weak, as for an individual thus to
wrong his fellows. We should do all
in our power to hasten the day when
there shall be peace among the ma
tions-a peace based upon justice and
not upon cowardly submission to
wrong. We can accomplish good
deal in this direction, but We cannot
accomplish everything, and the pen
atty of attempting to do too much
would almost inevitably be to dol
worse than nothing; for it must be

SOCIALISM.

Illinois socialists in convention in
Chicago Sunday declared for the with
drawal of our troops from France and
the immediate recognition Of the Boil
shevik socialist government in Rus
mes-Republican.
The action of these Chicago social
lists may not be endorsed by socialists
generally, but many socialistic assem-
blages have adopted similar resolu-
lions. 1t is up to loyal socialists in
the United States to hold few conven-
lions and adopt resolutions voicing
American sentiments and backing the
government in this war, denouncing
Prussianism and promising aid to our
allies until the war is won.
Socialists will protest that they are
just as loyal as anybody. Some Of
them are, of course, but the leadership
seems to have fallen into pro-German
hands and the prestige of the party
is being used in aid of Germany and

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT,

Iowa Forum: It is variously stated,
and upon apparently competent auth
GRITTY, that the long time quarrel be-
tween the two Republican ex-presid-
ents of the United States, Colonel
Roosevelt and Judge Taft, is ended or
at least called off. The story is that
when the colonel was sick the judge
went to see him and that they were
able at least to reach common
understanding not to project their
personal differences upon the Repub-
lican part or the country any more.
Such reconciliations are, of course,
gratifying and in these days it is
especially to be desired that differ
ences going, or seeming to go, to the
extent of rending the Republican
party are to be composed when pos
sible.
At the same time, we think it fair
to the Republican party and to the
people upholding it that the thought
be kept in mind and adhered to that
the differences which rent the party
wide open in 1912 were not merely
personal differences between Colonel
Roosevelt and the then President. 1t
may be that the difference between
the men brought to an issue some
other matter, but the other matters
were bound to be brought to an is
sue, and the fact of the matter COM
ing to an issue in 1912 was accidental
only as to time. The fundamental
condition in the Republican party at
that time was that the party organ
ization in the South had gone to-
pieces, that large numbers of dele
gates were coming up to nat
ional conventions from southern
states with worthless credentials and
with substantially no constituencies
and were being seated or rejected by
the national committee in accord
ance with their attitude, favorable or
otherwise, toward the presidential
candidate favored by the national
committee. The matter, too, was of
long standing and it had gone so far
that the Republican party was being
run by job-holders operating through
southern delegates and then perpetu-
ating themselves in the selection OIL
a new committee. A condition of this

GIVE IT TO FRANCE.

When Senator Kenyon spoke at the
Methodist church in Webster City a
few weeks ago he declared that so far
as he was concerned he would like
to see the government remit the debt
France owes the United States. When
the senator made that observation
it was greeted with hearty applause.
A few days ago he introduced in the
senate the following resolution:
1T is hereby ordered that obliga-
tions of the republic of France to
the United States of America for mon
ey borrowed or funds advanced since
the commencement of the present
war, including interest thereon, be
and are, hereby Cancelled"
According to statements of treasury
officials the credits of the United
States to France for the present war
amount to $1,565, 100000.
France is not asking this. Her
people are not disposed to shrink any
responsibilities, but she has suffered
more than her share, and has borne
her burden with a fortitude that is
inspiring and a heroism that is char
acteristic. The French people are
ready to 60 on until the last man
has been sacrificed upon the altar of
liberty and until the nation is bank
rupt. That is the spirit of the French
people and we believe it would cheer
them in this dark hour of trial to
have an expression of the congress
of the United States such as the
adoption of Senator Kenyon's re-
solution would signify: That the
people of the United States recognize
that France has done SO much more
than We have and more than We can,
when wealth and numerical strength
are considered, that we are willing to
liquidate this debt because of our
gratitude toward the great republic
in Europe.

OUR AIRCRAFT FAILURE.

The way this country blOwed about
what it was going to do with aeroplan-
es has proven a distinct damage to
our allies in Europe. We were going
to have all the way from $4,000 to 100,-
900 planes over there in couple OF
years an the war department set the
number at 10000 by July first next.
Germany took note Of our claims and
speeded up her aeroplane production
to meet our great flocks in battle. Ger
many now has hundreds of such ma
chimes that she would not have had
had we not INDUCED in Dragging. And
what have we really done to meet the
German air battalions? 1t is some
thing of diplomatic job to find out,
but it has been stated upon what ap-
pears to be reliable authority that we
have not more than twenty machines
of our own make now in France. We
fooled away months trying to perfect
a better engine than Germany had or
than Great Britain of France possess
ed. 1t is laudable ambition, OF
course, to devise the best aeroplane in
the world and we are going to do it.
But while we were experimenting and
trying to perfect better war aircraft,
we should have made lot of the kind
that has proven fairly satisfactory in
the hands of French and British avia-
tors.

.W,S.S
SOME PARALLELS.

Anent the suggestion of the Free
man, Journal that Senator Chamberlain
knows at least as much about war as
either President Wilson or Secretary
Baker, the Des Moines Register draws
this parallel:
1t is easy to draw parallel every
body will appreciate. Suppose the
Webster City High school football
eleven to be in the running for the
state championship, when one of the
players breaks with the organization
to set up his opinion against that of
the captain, and the Freeman Journal
editorially declares that the player
knows at least as much about the game
as the coach or the captain. What
would be the effect upon the remaining
games of the Webster City eleven?
How would such editorial criticisms
be received by the hackers of the Web
ster City eleven?
The Freeman-Journal has no knowl-
edge of the football game, but years
ago the writer was captain of a base
ball nine in Webster City. Those were
the days of real sport, too, and it is
not forgotten that when any player
made a bone-head play the bleachers
set up a howl that might have been
heard clear over to Fort Dodge.
A few years ago Webster City had a
paid ball team. They were excellent
players, too, and won large majority
of the games. Yet more than once,
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1918-05-13

when the game was going wrong. the
pitcher would be taken from the box
and better man put in his place.
Sometimes this change won the game,
but frequently the change was not
made soon enough and the game was
lost because of the ineXcusable blum
ders of the man delivering the ball.
And how soon the manager let out a
man when he thought he could do
better. If iRcompetents were not
made to walk the plank the fans about
town had no hesitancy in letting the
right authority know it and usually
changes were made for the better.
These fans were paying their money
to keep up the team and they had a
right to express displeasure at the way
the games were going.
Moreover, every ball player was
selected with the single eye to effic-
iency. No man who had been against
ball all his life and never played a
game was put in charge of the club.
He had to be an expert in his line and
if he failed he heard from the people
in no uncertain sounds. There was no
talk to the effect that the inefficient
player should be kept, because the
series of games must be won or lost
with him.
What do you suppose, Mr.. Register,
would have happened to one of these
players who had been accused OF
soldering on the job" if he had un-
dertaken to defend his course by say
ing that the real battle is 5000 miles
away, implying that it wasn't really
necessary to do the best that could be
done at all times?

THE WAY THEY DO IT.

Out in Colfax, Washington, they
have way of selling government
bonds that is winner, but the neces-
sity Of such methods in Iowa is not
present. Practically everybody in this
state does his duty in this respect and
unusual pressure is not necessary. 1t
is not so in ColfaX, however, and the
loan campaign committee resorts to
publicity to bring the recalcitrant ones
across.
The first thing is to carefully list
the financial standing of the people
and pro rate the quota of bonds. Then
notices are sent out and buyers are
asked to come to headquarters and
subscribe. A careful record is kept.
When the time has expired for volun-
tary subscriptions at headquarters a
committee is sent out to interview
those who have not responded. If they
still refuse to buy, their names are
sent to the government with full re-
port of their financial standing and the
report is published in the newspapers.
The people of Colfax realize that
the government has conscripted the
manhood of the country and they pro-
pose to see that the capital of Colfax
district is also conscripted. The plan
is good one where necessary, but the
Freeman Journal is glad it is not
necessary in Hamilton county. Our
people have responded nobly, having
gone over the top the first day of the
campaign and winding up with a sur
plus of more than $350,000 above our
quota.
