Show OURSTAND ON PEACE and WAR We are for peace, but not at the price of national honor or security. We believe with Wilson that the right is more precious than peace. We cannot follow any man or any j croup that bases its peace campaign on hate and vdllfication, and which is as sure to fail of it.i objective as it did in Lincoln's dry. We feel that we know positively that the U. S. is destined destin-ed to active!y participate in the war. also know that it cannot save itself by going into the war, and much less can it save itself by staying out of the war. And why not? Becanse in either event it is as sure as sunrise that it will wreck Itself by internal dissension. and rebellion, brought on in large part by a malignant and malevolent campaign of hate and disloyalty disloyal-ty on the part of some leading men who pit their petty j peeves against their Fatherland, and know no more about the decreed destiny of the nation than a child. Yes, we repeat that we know, and suffer because we do know, because people would rather read about John and Jane Rowe going to and returning re-turning from a visit to the country than they would read the saving and prophetic truth. The blindest of the blind are lead, ing the blind hosts into disaster not war but revolution. |
