THE PREfDEXT'S ADDRESS.
President Wilson, in his address to
Congress, expressed Jn eloquent lan
guago the gratitude of the Nation to
the soldier, ani Bailors, the civilian
employes of the Government and the
millions of men and women In private
lit who have each done their part
In winning the great triumph of
democracy over despotism. Properly
It gives the. highest praise to the
soldiers and sailors who have risked
life, limb and health in the cause
which all free men in all lands have
had at heart. The Nation owes them
a debt which It will continue to pay
gladly in trust, honor ami affection
ao long as any of thorn lives. In the
esteem of the people they will be
added to that great body of veterans
of former wars as the best and bravest
In the land.
The President struck the right note
In Ma reference to the subject of re
construction. It can best be effected
by removing as quickly as possible
the restraints which war made neces
ary, and by leaving the initiative and
enterprise of the people to work it
out tn their own way, with the aid
but without undue interference of the
Government. The very nature of the
railroads, their exercise of govern
mental power and their performance
cf a public service, require that an
exception be made in their case. The
President rightly says that they should
rot be kept in doubt as to the future
policy of the Government lie Is
equally right in saying that they
should not again be placed in the
position they occupied before the Gov
ernment assumed control. They were
then compelled to compete, though
the public interest, as well as their
own, required regulated co-operation,
They were denied the means of keep
ing pace with the needs of yearly in
creasing traffic under the false im
pression that the public interest was
thus served. They were subject to
deed, not a single reason why any
man should bury money in the
ground. It is unnecessary to elaborate
upon the thought that the guarantee
Is as strong as the Government and
the Government the strongest and the
most solvent in the world. The man
who would, Insist on better security
would be a fit subject for inquiry by
a sanity board.
The last dollar ought now to emerge
from its hiding-place. As a matter
of fact. It will be needed more than
ever in the reconstruction work of
peace.

A warrant was issued for the r.ppre

Texas contemporary as doubting that
the man is insane, and as expressing
the belief that one who could save

right mind.
It is not for the purposo of discuss

trary is the policy of Socialist labor
party. This party is a close observer of
society; it follows tho path of science,
not sentiment, and it will not permit
itself to be carried past and beyond any
fact on the wings of fancy.
For that reason the party's pro
gramme is logical, it proclaims the
necessity for industrial unionism and
calls upon the workers to join the
Workers' Industrial Union, knowing
that without such an organization any
serious movement in the direction of
socialism would be a movement to the
shambles. PATRICK O'HALLORAN,

If it was a partial surrender.
D. L. FULOP.
It was complete submission, but not
unconditional surrender in the exact
use of the latter term. Unconditional
surrender implies that the defeated
nation or army ceases hostilities and
submits without condition to kite will
of the conqueror. Certain tiwmi or
conditions were laid down by the allies
which Germany accepted before she
ceased hostilities. m
