U. S. Must Solve Question PeaeeabIy.
In the matter of International dis.
puteS which have led to war, states.
men have sought to set up as Il rem
edy arbitration for war. Does this
not point the way for The settlement
of Industrial disputes by the establish
ment of tribunal, fair and just alike
to all, which will settle industrial dis
putes which in the past have led to
war and disaster?
Americn, Witnessing the evil cOnse.
quences which have followed out OF
such disputes between the cOntending
forces, must not admit itself impotent
to deal with these matters by means
of peaceful processes. Surely, there
must be some method Of bringing to-
gether in II council of peace and amity
these two great interests, out of which
will come happier day of peace and
cooperation, a day that will make for
more comfort and happiness in living
and Il more tolerable condition among
all classes of men.

Hour Of Test for America Is Here,
This is the hour of test and trial
for America. BY her prowess and
strength. and the indomitabIe courage
of her soldiers, she demonstrated her
power TO vindicate on foreign battlo-
fields her conception of liberty and
justice. Let not her influence as a
mediator between capital and labor be-
weakened and her own failure to set
tie matters of purely domestic con.
cern be proclaimed to the world
There are those in this country who
threaten direct action to force their
will upon a majority. Russia today,
object lesson of the power of minor
tiles 1t makes little difference what
minority it is, whether capital or la
bor, or any other class, no sort of
privilege will be permitted TO domi-
nate this country. We are partner
ship or nothing that is worth while.
We are democracy, where the ma
jority are the masters, or all the hopes
and purposes of the men who founded
this government have been defeated
and forgotten.
v. S. viii Eot Stand Any Threats
In America there is but one way in
which great reforms can be accom-
plishcd and the relief sought by classes
obtained, and that is through the or.
derly processes of representative gov
ernmcnt Those who would propose
any other method of reform are enc
mics of this country. America will not
be daunted by threats nor lose her
composlirc or calmness in these dis.
tressing times.
We can afford in the midst of this
day of passion and unrest, to he self
contained and sure The instrument Of
all reform in America is the straight
road of justice to all classes and condi-
tions of men. Men have but to follow
this road to realize the full fruitOn Of
their objects and purposes. Let those
beware who would take the shorter
road of disorder aud revolution. The
right road is the road of justice and
orderly process.
