it wars and of thinking of wars.'
'would tomorrow iMuk of war and
make war if an occasion they deem
ed sufficient offered, such as the sink-'
, ing of the Maine.
Governor Cox's remark is simply a
: play Ing to the mood of reaction1
: w hich in America has naturally and J
! inevitably followed the effort and sac- i
not military or mililaristically inclin
ed. On the contrary they went into
the late war wth considerable doubt
and reluctance, and they want to be
rid of all Us continences and free
to follow their fortunate and peace
ful daily existence as soon as possi
ble. So they are weary of thinking
of wars.
But being weary of thinking does
not dispose of the duty or desirabil
ity of thinking. Politicians, not ouiy
of Goernor Cox's persuasion, but,
we are si.rry to say, of the Republic
an also, have been quick to follow
the popular mood. By so doing they
exploit a human weakness Instead of
protecting the people from it.
Being weary of the sacrifices and
penalties of wars does not prevent
wars, nor does being weary of thins,
ing of wars justify not thinking of
wars. We do not enjoy thinking of
cancer or tuberculosis, of tempest,
drought, famine, pestilence, or sud
den death. We are weary of all the
evils of life, but the statesman or
individual who allows hli distaste of
them or trying to make provision for
dealing with them Is not acting with
common sense or in the true Interest
of his country or himself. Chicago

Phill Colin returned the last of the
week from Rockaway beach, where,
in company with Mrs. Colin, and their
daughter, Elinor, they spent several
weeks enjoying the ocean breezes.
Mrs. Conn and daughter will remain
at the beach for some time yet. Nu

are spending their vacation at the

Cox. The people are also eary of

otherwise than weary of wars except

Stand By Your Guns
If some of the persons who write
anonymous letters to officials in re
gard to Tiolatioss of the laws would
place any evidence they may have in
the hands of the district attorney and
would back up their statements with
their oaths, there would be less trou
ble in enforcing the laws. It is one
thing to be satisfied, in your own
mind that the law is being violated
nd quite another thing to produce
evidence enough to warrant a -conviction
or even an arrest. Many well
meaning persons complain because
this person or that person is not con
victed of the violation of some law
and at the same time will not testify
to facts which they know. Lawbreak
ers realize this and take advantage1
of the fact. If you are not willing
to furnish the information you have
and stand by it, do not write a letter
of complaint and leave your name
off. You'have a right to demand that
officers do their duty, but you should
do your duty as a citizen also. Stand
by your guns.
