There is need in these crucial times of nianv ni
similar to the one held in the L. 1). S. tabernacle. It
throiijrh such gatheriiifrs as these that the spirit of democ
racy is not only promoted but is nurtured and defended.
If the essential object of this giant contest means any
thing above another to the people of the world, it is thut
of guaranteeing to. all the right of inter-association and
jlhe mutual sharing of the benefits as well as the .respon
sibilities of pure, open-hearted democracy.
. The attendant at the meeting at the tabernacle could
not fail to be impressed with the fact that this is not
altogether a selfish spirit; that this is not a war against
peoples, but against systems; and that success must ulti
mately crown the efforts to secure for others the civic
.freedom which we enjoy.
1 Incidentally, the musical part of the program was most
enjoyable and. is a revelation of what can be done in thi;s
we will permit wcrniany ana .uisiria tiiemselves to have
peace. Former Senator Elihu I'oot put the thing in a
nutshell when he said:
IS i "'(. must not for.'i'et tli.it the statements ol' one nence
terms mean, not peace, but war until Germany is beaten
into accepting thcni."
We are not .suing for peace, as the IJerlin and Vienna
militarist-statesmen would like their deluded people to
believe. We are laying down the laws under which the
world is to live hereafter, and which Germany and Austria
liiust agree to before they can be received again into the
fellowship of civilization. Baker Herald.

i The average voter, both male and female, seems to
believe that his or her own business is of first importance
.when in fact the first allegiance of cA'ery citizen is to the
state, notes the Pendleton Tribune. '
; Invariably when the registration books are opened
there are great numbers who refuse to take the time to
jjerfonn the simple duty of registering for the approach
'ing election, and then upon election day, they scurry
around to find some friends to help them with certificates
that they may participate in the choice of candidates.
This is not good citizenship. It is this very trait of
neglect of public duty which has made the work of organ
ization for the war so difficult. Until the citizenry of
the country arouses to its duty in willing participation
in the operation of the election machinery, there lurks
danger to the state.
Neglect to register ought to be considered a badge of
doubtful citizenship. Some day it will be so considered.

OUR .PEACE CONDITIONS
, There has been a tendency in Ui,. ceutr.il empires to
misconstrue recent peace utterances of President Wilson
and other allied statesmen. From the fact that the allies
condescend to suggest the terms of a tolerable peace, our
enemies seem to lay the flattering unction to their souls
that our European associates are tired of lighting, and
that we have no stomach for starting to fight. There is
