to Mars; we still retain respect for the utterances of the
Man of Sorrows. That the course of Germany in daring
to infringe on what we consider our rights now practically
obliges us to take up arms against her should be regretted
by every right-thinking person. We have no criticisms
to make of the course of President Wilson; he has un
doubtedly followed the course which to him seems best,
and with the purest and most patriotic motives. He has
“ kept us out of war” until we are forced by the generally
accepted tenets of mankind to join in and do what we can
to add to the troubles of the under dog. Let no one
doubt th a t we will all stand together when the test comes;
but that is no reason why we should lose our heads a t this
time. B etter keep cool. It isn’t always the man who
flies all to pieces at the start who makes the best fight.
