“THOU SHALT NOT KILL.”
If that passage in Holy Writ
means what it says, where is the civ
ilized Christian world going to wind
up?
In Europe today men are lined up
and at the command of man, the
command of Almighty God is over
ruled and thousands are being kill
ed in a minute.
“If you love me, feed my sheep,”
saitli the Babe of Bethlehem.
But instead o? obeying that com
mand, great nations ar arraying the
sheep against one another and mak
ing Christ’s sheep slaughter Christ’s
sheep, while the murderer occupying
his throne blasphemes the name of
God by offering up his petition to
him for guidance.
“Thou slialt not kill,” saitli The
Book.
"Kill, kill, kill,” saitli the mon
arch.
It is our opinion that war is mur
der, and its pathway is the quick
est pathway to hell.
“Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you,” and it is a safe
bet you will not shoot him.
Yonder at Verdun, the Crown
Prince of Germany, smarting be
cause he has net gained a victory so
far in this war, backed by bis daddy,
tile kaiser, is offering up his sheep
by the thousands in an effort to
write his name on history’s page
while he views the conflict from
afar off. Who shall answer to God
for the forty-five thousand sheep
slain in a single day around Verdun.
The Independent Voter is Found in
Every Political Camp.
There is unity of sentiment in not
one of the camps of the political par
ties of the country.
Upon the contrary in every one of
them differences are becoming ac
centuated and divisions are affecting
party organization.
The next four months will be most
exciting months in political circles,
and the entire people of the country
are already taking great interest in
the preliminary events of the presi
dential campaign.
During the past two weeks the Re
publican State Convention in New
York, active work in county and dis
trict conventions throughout the
Union, the announcement of the can
didacies of Messrs Burton, Cummins,
La Collette, the division of sentiment
in Massachusetts as to whom the state
will support at Chicago—these have
(Combined to disclose that the strug
gle between the factions within the
Republican party is one of fierceness
and apt to end in the nomination of
someone that will not conduce to
unity after the nomination.
As to the Progressive party it has
but ilie one candidate so far as the
great majority of tlie rank and file
is concerned, but there are outspo
ken differences of opinion among
state and district leaders as to the
proper course for the party to take
in the campaign, and real division
among those leaders as to the candi
date that should be nominated.
President Wilson has shied his cas
tor into the ring in Ohio, but not
only in this state, but in many other
states there are strong and active
forces within the Democratic organi
zation opposed to him and to his pol
icies.
The retirement of Bryan and Gar
rison on account of differences as to
policies, followed by the congres
sional revolt on the question of the
Americans being allowed to travel on
belligerent armed vessels, the popu
lar discontent with the Mexican poli
cy of his administration, the dislike
of the country to the emergency tax
es levied, makes it comparatively
easy for those who desire his defeat
to create a diversion among the
Democratic voters which may decide
the result of the campaign.
it is difficult to pick out a Re
publican who can, as a presidential
candidate, poll the full strength of
that party, and it is plainly in evi
dence that President Wilson cannot
depend upon the full democratic vote
in November.
There is a growing independence
among the voters that keeps thems
free from the blind party zeal
wl icli in past years produced close
partisan organization. The electors
of the country are both independent
and selective when it comes to
discussion and voting.—Cincinnati
Enquirer. (
TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
We give below two views upon 1
President Wilson’s submarine issue.
Senator Lodge, ranking Republican
member of the Foreign Relations
Committee, says:
“The President takes tile precise
position that I have taken and have
been urging in public speeches for
the last 18 months. Of course I
shall stand by him. I agree fully
with what he says. I believe it
would proclaim us to the world as
cowards to tell our citizens that they
must not exercise their undoubted
rights, and that if they do we shall
not protect them. A nation that
will not protect its citizens cannot
protect itself, and if democracy fails
to protect itself how can we hope
to live?
“The President says: ‘What we
are contending for in this matter is
of the very essence of the things that
have made America a sovereign na
tion. She cannot yield them without
conceding her impotency as a nation
and making virtual surrender of her
independent position among the na
tions of the world.’
“With this also I am in full ac
cord. It is the doctrine I have
preached all my life, and I am with
the President who sets it forth and
stands by it.”
Here is the telegram which W. J.
Bryan sent to members of Congress:
“I honestly hope that Congress will
speedily announce legislation refus
ing passports to Americans traveling
on belligerent ships; or, still better,
refusing clearance to belligerent ves
sels carrying American passengers.
“No owner of belligerent ships will
claim that he has the right to safe
guard a contraband cargo with Amer
ican lives, and no citizen should be
permitted to endanger the peace of
the nation at a time like this. Ours
is the greatest of the neutral nations
and will probably be the mediator
when the tifrie comes for mediation.
It would be a crime against civiliza
tion as well as against our own peo
ple to become involved in this war
and thus loan our army and navy to
a European monarch to use in set
tling his quarrels.
“If Congress has the right to de
clare war it certainly has the right
to promote peace by restraining cit
izens from taking unnecessary risks.
A Mayor keeps the people of his city
out of the danger zone during a riot.
Can our Government afford to do
less when the world is in riot.”'
In another column in this issue
appear the minutes of the mass meet
ing last Saturday at which time an
executive committee was chosen. The
minutes carry the adoption of a res
olution commending Judge R. B.
Russell as a candidate for congress
from this district. The introduction
of this resoltiucn was a surprise to
most of those assembled, and at leas j
14 among those present did not think
it wise to take such a step, when j
only 72 representative citizens out of
a voting strength of 2,000 were on
hand. Twenty-six bound themselves
to support the judge should he enter
the race.
We have been asked by aspiring
politicians and friends to lay aside
our weapons and get sweet for the
sake of some folks with certain mer
cenary reasons. We are perfectly
willing to carry cur tommy-hawk
down about the lot and pitch it into
a corner of the fence. But don’t ex
pect us to uproot touch-me-nots in
the front yard in order to bury the
blamed old hatchet.

HOW THE WARRIORS LINED UP
We dare say that there are few
men in this territory who have kept
themselves in close enough touch
with the history of the struggle now
going on in Europe, to name the dif
ferent countries involved in this the
world’s greatest war, and tell when
and why they were drawn into the
conflict. The New York Sun gives
the following list without confidence
in its completeness:
July 28, 1914—Austria declares war
on Serbia.
August I—Germany declares war
on Russia.
August B—-France in a state of war
with Germany
August 4 —Great Britain declares
war on Germany. Germany declares
war on Belgium and France.
August 6 —Austria declares war on
Russia.
August 10—France in a state of
war with Austria.
August 12 —Montenegro declares
war on Germany. Great Britain in a
state of war with Austria.
August 23—Japan declares war on
Germany.
August 25 —Austria declares war
with Japan.
August 28—Austria declares war 01
Belgium.
November s—Turkeys—Turkey at war with
Russia, France and Great Britain.
May 23 1915—Italy declares war
on Austria.
October 14 —Bulgaria declares war
on Serbia.
October 15 —Great Britain declares
war on Bulgaria.
October 16—Bulgaria in a state
of war with Russia.
October 19—Russia and Italy de
clare war on Bulgaria.
After the bond election get ready
for the Specific Tax Man. We need
the money.
Tomorrow is the day set for the
bond election. Walk up and vote for
