his mission in life to make trouble
wherever he appeared.
When the great Jehovah interjected
such sinister spirit into our affairs
it must have been to punish us for
our manifold delinquencies as nation
and a people.
We should steer clear of European
complications. Never has there been
a time when the admonitions of Wash
ington, jefferson and Monroe carried
greater weight. Mr.. Wilson's medi-
ocre mind and colossal vanity have
already carried him far to sea. 1t is

| think events, helped along by the
president himself, will verify my fore
cast that he is not merely candidate
for a third term in the White House
but that for nomination to such he
holds all the winning cards in his
hands.
The Democratic party, so called, he
long ago abolished. having previously
much debaunched it. Nothing of it
survives except the tattered label, and
he holds that betwixt his thumb and
forefingers. | am inclined to believe,
however, that he has eliminated the
United States from his immediate
activities as an established conquest,
and is now giving his mighty thought
to the sublimation of the world.
A virtuous, right-minded man thus
situated would emulate the humility
Of Washington and the humanity of
a Lincoln. Mr.. Wilson secs nothing
but himself and his personal exalta-
ton; lives for nothing except his own
advantages; seeks nothing save power
and authority, the concrete things of
i-ulership represented by the regal
splendors and feudal glories which,
tho somewhat frazzled and faded, still
go on about him.
As a consequence of his maladro,
tinkering Europe will find itself the

Several Issues.

The people of this country should
not let themselves slumber under the
delusion that he controversy between
Postmaster General Burleson and the
owners of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany is of interest to those persons
only. There are several issues in which
all the people have an interest. Least
in importance are the increased charge
and diminished service incident to gov
ernment operation. More important
is that policy of government owner
ship which will be foisted upon the
country if the Postmaster General has
his way. But more important still is
the observance of property rights,

Palmer Declares Peace.

Attorney General Palmer doesn't
seem to count the fact that we are
not at peace with Germany. Several
sedition charges against magazine
writers indicted under the espionage
act have been dismissed, Mr.. Palmer
having suggested that the ends of JUS
tice would thus best be served in view
of hostilities with Germany having
ended 1t would appear on the sur
face, at least, that whether hostilities
had ceased or not should have no eff
rect on these cases. The result should
rest on whether or not the indicted
persons are guilty. Just because the
''war is over" is no sign their sediti-
Gus utteranees did no harm before the
armistice was signed. Such action on
the part of the Attorney-General is n
bad example to set for the future.

nation founded on the rights of the
people is strong in proportion as that
people realizes and maintains those
rights.
From being a most individualistic
nation, we have become the most So
cialistic. Is this to continue or shall
we seek to return to the former con-
ditions and relations? Shall we go
on taking over industries, fixing prices
and debating wages. establishing food
standards and centralizing power in
the hands of few at the expense of
the many, thereby creating nation
of dependents What is to be the
limit of government control over your
time, your products, your life?
These are questions which face
thinking men today and they must be
met and solved after calm delibera-
tion. Remember this, there can
be no substitute for self government,
and this rests upon the intelligent
thinking Of the masses. Centralized
government is certain to dwarf indl-
vidual thought, purpose , aspiration.
Its whole plan centers in control and
must result inevitably in dependence.
an the new era upon which we are
entering, cooperative work will be
emphasized though not by that name.
What are termed trusts, combines,
unions, gentlemanly agreements, are
but class appellations of the same
central thought. No matter the name,
the right to organize must be accept
ed . .. If the right to organize is ad-
mitted, the right to stand independent
cannot be denied, whether it be
trade combine or a labor union. Force
applied to draw into fellowship or ex-
clude from membership is contrary to
all just principles of citizenship. The
law of might can never be made the
law of right"

Washington, Apr. 15.-(Speciai cor

address, DIR. Twitchell says;
with the cessation Of hostilities
and the promise Of peace, the claims
of the reconstruction period demand
attention. II is here that a nation
meets its supreme test, and unless all
signs fail this is to be no exception
Because of war the policy of the gov
ernment has radically changed from
an extreme individualistic to a su-
preme socialistic. That this is claim
ed to be temporary in no way changes
the relations affecting all classes. The
massage from simple democracy to the
most absolute autocracy the world ever
known, has brought into activity fact
ors not easily thrown oil when at
tempt is made to again place this gov
ernment where its founders establish
ed it-for, of, and by the people. Au-
tocratic power wisely or unwisely
fostered has grown exacting, and
united by selfish interests, will refuse
to surrender what are now termed
rights.
Three important, well-organized
powers are to be met in any attempt
ed reconstruction, each exacting re-
coenition. each demanding control
The enormous profits of war contracts
have closely united the capitalistie
element of the country, the greatly in
