fundamental question Of whether

Wilson and the autocraCy he repre-

Hove In his doctrines and share his
spirit represent, must be put aside
and conoluHively excluded from any

Our First Duty IA Americans
The ground thus cleared. It is our
first duty as Americans TO re-estab-
lish certain ESSENTIAL principles which
have been both shaken and invaded
---shaken by tho shock of war. In
vaded by those who had their own
selfish purposes TO serve even In the
hour OF the country's danger.
The earliest beliefs of men reveal
tho trust OF mankind In order. as
tho divince conqueror OF chaos and
eternal night. A famous poet tells
us that order In heavens first law"
and history repeats tho same In
junction. All the civilization ever
built up and treasured by mankind
has rNsted upon the establishment
of law and order. Law and order,
the supports of truo liberty. the firm
foundations of prosperity and prog
ross, have always ruled In the United
States and have been very dear to
the hearts OF the American people.
They must never be weakened or
impaired unless we are ready to scc
all that we have carefully built up

followed by the slow and toilsome
climb out OF the darkness of an
arChy to the height OF freedom and
accomplishment. TO maintain law
ana order and "A stable govornm mt

of all men, high and low. rich AMI

have n government of the people,

law framed by the men chosen by
the people themselves to make the
laws, The chief magistrate must un-

part OF any man or any group OF
men or any minority OF the people.
When free government fails. autoc-
racy and revolution and the down

il are at hand. Progress viii cease
and the decline to lower stages ht
development will have begun. True
progress must rest upon and pro-
