War.
These are fearful times, almost
wicked. But yesterday, the curtain
was rung down upon what the old
earth believed was its civilization.
That which we as boys studied and
! observed and admired as our civiliZa-
ton, with all its supposed progress
have passed into history. Much Of
it has been discarded, mankind piling
bodies one upon the other in needless
sacrifice has poured out its blood
in behalf of new order of things.
trusting the antiseptic qualities of
that red blood to wash from the hui
man heart all it's hatred. The war
| has divided time into "before'' and
after" has dipped the pen of fate
in blood and handed it to the new
born age with the command that it
writes a new decree or rather an
old decree with a new admonition.
Fairness will force YOU to admit
that in the struggle just closed we
all measured fairly well up to our
obligations.
Serious Problems.
The problems which confront the
American people by reason of the
war must be solved. They are Sc
rious, acute and far-reaching. They
must be faced in the spirit of fair
play. Just now the eyes and soul
of the American people are focused
on our Foreign relations.
Foreign Relations.
The peace treaty coupled with the
League of Nations is the all absorbing
topic. Our internal or domestic
affairs are showed aside in the des-
perate effort to settle European
affairs or better said the affairs Of
the habitable Globe. All men pretend
to want peace and some want Lea
que of Nations. But no true Ameri-
can wants League of Nations built
upon the wrecked, ruined and
crushed rights of single man or
race of people.

He is .doubtlessly moved by the high
est ideals and most noble and lofty
sentiments. But he is not infalable,
and so far as l am concerned, IL !
must trust finite AVAILABILITY, I shall
trust the Availability of the great
American people. Hence. l believe
they should discuss and know all
about the treaty and League of Ma
tions before they make it the supreme
law of the land.
Internal Questions.
In the next few months we shall
have our attention called to questions
which directly effect us here. The
! great labor question, the control of
public serving corporations by gov
eminent, the enforcement of prohi-
ton laws; the women suffrage ques-
ton and many political questions
must be discussed and settled right
next year. Every man and woman
whom these questions effect should
be cheerfully accorded the right and
urged to do their part in helping
TO adopt the best methods to settle
them. Pay your poll tax and be
ready. Without poll tax you will
be helpless and given no considera-
ton in the settlement of the greatest
political and social questions the
American people ever had to decide.
Armed Intervention In Mexico.
Being opposed to war. I am there

in Mexico, for armed interventions
means war.

acts of his splendid administration
