Goodwill towards Men," and was cru
Gifted by jealous rivals.
| Wilson has preached International
Peace by a League of Nations, and is
living martyr through the antagon-
ism Of Jealous rivals.
The sincerity of Christ and the sin
certify of Wilson are equally believed
in by all sincere people throughout
the entire world.
| In the case of Christ, the jealous
rivals were priests, whose collections
had fallen off, and whose churches
Were empty on account of Christ's
preaching.
rivals are politicians, who were not in
vited to show off in Europe
! These fellows have been in office so
long, and have become so accustomed
to the exercise of authority, that their
heads have become swelled, and they
have forgotten that the same voters
who voted them in can vote them out
tand mean to do so).

have received an anonymous card
to damage Woodrow Wilson. 1t in
forms me that Wilson refuses to end
the state of war and surrender the
restrictive wartime measures still in
his hands, which menace farm, shop
and office in every section of the coun-
try, unless the nation enter into a con-
tract with thirty-two nauons@many
of which are brown, yellow or black
under which our domestic policies and
foreign relations will be subjected to
the control of these nations, and our
troops be placed at their disposal for
use in Europe, Asia and Africa, to be
employed in never ceasing warfare
/ 1t informs me that "a coalition of
Southern and Northern senators has
refused thus to surrender American
(meaning their OWN sovereignty. or to
expend American (not meaning their
OWN blood and tax money (not men,
tionfng the millions they are now
wasting.)"
| 1t goes on to say that these senators
have sought to modify the contract so
/ that we shall be able to do our inter
national duty as our nation thinks
best forgetting that the nation means
the people, who never are consulted.)
without placing the United States in
Europe's hands to be dealt with as
Europe pleases.'
The cowardly effusion continues:
But the president refuses to Ameri-
canize (meaning senatorize) the cove
nant, and declines to curtail the super
sovereign powers of the League. He
must have HIS League or there will
be peace. The nation (meaning the
senators of the coalition) must bow
down to the presidents League or con-
tinue suspended in a state of war. He
thus hangs up America by the thumbs
(what a pity they can't cruelty Will
sonD and coolly (spelt cooly) Gin
sick bed) awaits its repentance and
acquiescense."
Then comes the virtuous enquiry
'will the South stand for this? ?" fol-
lowed by some hypocritical cant about
great Southern Statesmen"
The real meat of the cocoanut is re-
served for the last grand slam.
J Here it is:
Let the SENATE declare the terms
upon which we will enter again into
relations with Germany and Austria.
Let congress declare our intention
! (meaning without asking the people
what their wishes are) to avoid for
i eign entanglements. and re-declare our
INDEPENDENCE OF FOREIGN
CONTROL"
The authors of this misleading cir
cular ignore the fearful struggles of
Belgium, Italy, Servia, Rumania. Rus
STA, Australia, Canada, France and
England for three years previous to
the United States entry into the war,
and the fact that those three years
gave the United States time to prepare
for the final blow.
| They ignore the right of those ma
! sonable attitude of give and take, of
bear and forbear from US in prepar-
ing a set of rules and regulations for
the prevention of future wars
/ They are in favor of taking all and
giving nothing, in spite of the fact that
Europe saved the United States equally
las much as the United States saved
Europe.
President Wilson is not that mean
| kind.
| President Wilson, is a gentleman.
/. President Wilson believes in the
ethics of gentlemanly conduct.
| President Wilson'S career has been
| one of upright and honorable effort
for the good of America
| President Wilson went to Europe to
take a reasonable share. not hogs
share, in fixing up treaty and
League of Nations with Americas all
! lies. and prepared to make reasonable
allowances for the other fellows point
| of view.
| The really important matter was TO
ATTAIN PEACE AND PREVENT
FUTURE WARS
President Wilson succeeded He
came back to America with the peace
/: treaty and the agreement for League
| Of Nations in his pocket
| America welcomed him with shouts
of joy, even as Europe had welcomed
him.
Thanks be to God. Here at last
was the Peace on Earth, Good
viii towards Men" Christ died for.
