Editor Banner want to thank
you for your editorial in the Banner
and Reformer of March 5th. | would
wish that every one of those oh
structionists" in congress might read

take in what you try TO make the
readers OF the Banner realize, viz
that way. above any motives thai

supreme object aimed az that is. 20
work out some plan whereby future
wars among nations shall be made
impossible The words of President

effective, need not alarm themselves
by asserting that il might destroy

common laws that al 1.-THE civilized
nations of earth recognize snd are
universal everywhere. II is won

takes the stand ii does Would ex-
pect the management of that really
first class publication to have the
power to realize that unprecedented
events are taking place these days

be perfect one Must we ignore the
proposition all together2 The Ban
ner comes out plainly. and no sane
person can deny the statement that
h political influence Is at work. How
I low must be the estimation OF q man
OF his neighhors, when he Is obliged
Tito acknowledge that men Of ability
and force for good are actnated by
such motives?
