WAS HE DISLOYALl

BY the death OF United States Sena-
tor William }. Stone. the Senate and
this country has lost a useful citizen
and public servant. During Senator
Stones IS years OF public life he was
engaged in many political battles. Gov
ering all the way from county offices
in the greatest Of the National and
international questions Of his time.
He was always among the foremost in
debating the great questions CON
fronting our country during his politi-
cal career and was generally on the
right side.
At the time the United States en-
tered the war, Senator Stone opposed
It. He also opposed the bill propos-
ing the arming' of American merchant
ships and in this he took issue with
President Wilson. He stood with the
twelve Senators whose opposition
caused the failure of that bill at the
close of the Sixty-fourth Congress, and
brought down the denunciation of the
President upon the wilful twelve.
He made no apologies for his course
on that occasion and always contend
ed il was i'm strict line with his duties
as a Senator. because in accordance
with his convictions. and as he be-
lieved, in protection of Americas
interests
When he opposed this country going
into the war he was upraided on all
sides and called a disloyal citizen and
statesman. His reply to his critics
was. however. that he had perfect
right to debate these questions before
the war was declared, and before the
majority had spoken, as in his best
Judgment and understanding as he
saw the matter.
In n dispatch from Washington a
few days ago, giving an account of his
death, it is stated:
He believed that American
participation in the war should be
avoided if possible. but when the
die was cast for war he changed
over night He took his place
with the supporters of war meas
ures and consistently maintained
that attitude He held it incum-
bent upon him to stand with his
country regardless of his own
views"
Certain newspapers have unkindly
suggested that Senator Stones life
was probably shortened because of his
action before war was declared We
do not believe this, because we think
if he had been convinced that his
course was wrong before war was de-
clared he would have had the courage
TO have admitted it and repented as it
were, not brooded over it,
No matter what others may think
of this man. he acted honestly, in his
best Judgment. as he understood it,
for the best interest of his country.
His actions after the war was de-
clared prove this and we think that
his critics should now cease their
further criticism.

TIE LONG ROAD.

II Is bOrOe IN upon us tnal lOOU con-
servatiOn is not a mere necessity for
the immediate moment alone but that
it is of vital importance for the per-
iod after war. Years of continuous
and intensely destructive warfare have
diverted the stream of labor from
farming and from the soil; and these
same harsh years have further harm
ed the soil itself The pictures of
fruit trees, whole orchards, ruined be
yond the repair of one generation, are
sadly familiar to us. And the less no.
ticeable destruction of the areas di-
rectly under fire are only scattered
signs of the widespread European soil
disaster.
Throughout Europe, in the broad
western reaches of Russia as well as
in the carefully tended fields of
France. land will be deteriorated
through the unskilled labor Of those
who have taken up the burden of q
pillow through necessity and devotion.
but whose strength and capacity
equalled neither the occasion nor their
passionate effort and who are fur
Their handicapped through weakness
and abnormal conditions. Skill will
have task enough repairing the
blunders of circumstance and lack of
training, and must find more power
for construction as we'll as repair.
For over three years. and for as
much longer as war shall last. the
energy and thought of nations have
been turned TO the production of eX-
plosives. taking. many of them, for
their construction those elements ne
cessary to the manufacture of ferti-
lizers. The irony of the war. thread
ing through all its events. makes the
same thing necessary for life-stimu-
lating and death-dealing instruments.
And as death has been the supreme
aim of Europe since August, 1914, so
life has suffered. Fertilizers have not
been so widely manufactured. They
are consequently scarcer and more
costly; and the need for them will
continue TO grow more acute.
