1t is not with feeling of vengeance
that all truly loyal Americans read
OF justice being melted out to those
who were lukewarm or disloyal to
their country when it was in it's ex-
tremity. On the contrary, the Ameri-
can ideal it toward leniency and long
suffering. But sedition must be made
to eternally unpopular in this country
that we welcome any means that will
lead to this end. 1t may come, some
good day, to the point where all Amer
leans will be true to their country, or
get out.

According to report published in

order to do Mr.. Petry full justice, the
