LABOR AND FREEDOM

The hope of labor lies in the
opportunities for freedom; mill
tary domination, supervision,
checks. bondage, lie in Prussian
rule. So declares the executive
committee of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
This is a right and clear con-
ception of the issues involved in
this war for the working man..
1t is not through a German re-
gime but through democracy that
labor is to receive adequate rec
ognition and it's realization Of its
rightful place in the world.
All Americans are supremely
and vitally interested in the war
against German autoeracy and
none more than the working man
of America. To him freedom
means everything.
The. test is on whether the
autocratic regime of Germany
has bred better men than the
free institutions of this country
has whether the independent
men of America can fight SO well,
can manufacture such guns and
aeroplanes and-other instruments
and munitions of. war and put
them into effective use as can
the human product of German
rule.
There is no doubt of the result,
but it depends upon the whole
American people and not alone
upon our fighting mer. We
who remain in safety at home
must do our part, work, econo-
mize, save and support the
finances of the government. In
dustry, saving and lending to
the government are now national
needs and national duties.

] AMERICAN EFFICIENCY

The searchlight of war has
brought out many interesting
facts. and one of these is that
the vaunted German efficiency
will not always stand the test of
comparison with American ef-
ficiency.
The Germans boasted of being
the greatest farmers on earth.
Investigation shows that in eff
ficiency in agriculture, measured
by the produce per acre, America
being graded 100, Belgium leads
the world, at 205; Great Britain
comes second, at 164; and Ger
many third, at 1856; America
comes fourth.
But the better test is the man
test rather than the acre test.
and here America leads the world
by over 2 to /. Again, grading
America at 100 per farm worker.
Great Britain produces 43 and
Germany al. The American farm
er cultivates q acres. the Ger
man farmer but Z. With the aid
Of vast quantities of fertilizer
the German produces more per
acre. but he produces at a much
greater cost per bushel and he
produces much less than half as
much per man.

A MESSAGE
TO THE NATION

Nature has implanted in ev-
cry human being a sense Of
Justice. This sense of natural
justice does not emanate from
any religion or creed; it is the
common possession of human
ity. It constitutes the one
great distinguishing mark be-
tween man and the animal.
And the more highly educated,
the more highly refined a man
becomes, the stronger is his
sense Of natural justice. We
condemn q violation of natural
justice, not because we learn
from a man or a book that such
an action is worthy of condem-
nation. but because it violates
that conception of justice which
was born in us.
Graham guardian., 1918-03-15

We do not have to be told
that it is wrong to torture a
helpless child. We do not have
to be told that it is wrong to
go to q farm house and burn it
to the ground, torture its in
mates, and then throw them in
to the burning ruins of their
own home. Such things are
repugnant to our sense of nat
ural justice.
1t is this elementary attri-
butte Of humanity, this quality
which distinguishes man from
the beast, which has been vio-
lated by Germany. Not only
has natural justice been violat-
ed, but it's violation defended
ty emperors, preachers, philos-
ophers, teachers and that mass
Of individuals who sympathize
with the German cause.
Graham guardian., 1918-03-15

Wnlle tne most enlightened
teachers Of humanity are tell
ing us that man by aspiration
and effort can raise himself to
partake of the Divine nature,
Germany is teaching and prac-
ticing the doctrine that man
should invert the theory and
take his place amongst the low
est types in the animal world.
They hold forth as the goal of
human ambition, after centur-
les of upward struggle, the fig
ure, type and mentality of a
beast rather than that of a God.
The animal which lives on the
flesh Of others, whose right to
existence is based only upon it's
strength and its ability to
crush it's prey, would appear to
te the German ideal.
1t is largely because the Ger
man idea is so repugnant to us
as enlightened Americans, be-
cause their practices send q
shudder through every fibre of
our bodies . and produce such
nausea in our souls, that we
are at war with Germany to-
day; and it is because of these
conditions that every decent,
honorable, thinking man must
pledge, if necessary his for
tune, his life, his all, to eradi-
cate this unspeakatle thing
which has fallen like a curse
upon the sons Of men.
Conceive, if you can, the con-
dition of this world if we al
lowed such doctrines to prevail.
Property would go to the man
with the strongest arm and the
most unscrupulous mind. Lib
erty would die a shameful
death. Freedom would shrek
as Justice falls. Religion would
perish from the earth and a
false God-one of blood, iron
and beastiality, would be set
up for the worship of a cring-
ing, covering humanity.
Graham guardian., 1918-03-15

There are Indifferent ones
who say that such things can
never happen in this country.
These people do not realize
that one of the penalties-the
greatest of all penalties-which
we should pay for defeat would
be the Germanization of our
people. One of the terms Of
our defeat would be the privi-
lege Of Germany to trade, teach
and colonize freely in this land
of ours. One of the things
coveted most by the German
mind is the souls of men, for
when they have these they
have their bodies, their wealth
their all, and if during the
course of the next generation
the Germans could capture or
even deeply influence the soul
of America they would consider
that they had won the great
est victory in the history Of
their Nation.
As citizens of an enlighten-
ed democracy we must fight by
every means in our power this
menace which would steal our
souls and those of our children.

paid to a human being than
that paid to one of the old
