TODAY'S DECLARATION
WIIEX, in thn course! of ltiimaii.fvciits, it becomes nee
cs.siiry.for tho. ncoiile of a democratic, libertv-lov-
intr country to fid it unto death for tlx principles they hold
most dear, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind
requires that tliey should declare the causes which impel
them to wage a wm-or-die war.
We hold these truths to he
great and small arc entitled
that till human beings it re endowed by their Creaor with
certain inalienable rights, whether they live in Belgium,
Serbia, France or travel upon the high seas in peaceful
ships of commerce; that among these, are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights those
governments of the people, for the people and by the peo
ple, have banded together in one cause and with one pur
pose against that government
that government winch seeks to overthrow liberty
throughout the world and to crush democracy beneath the
cruel heel of the autocracy of mightFor loud and many
years this power of military might and inhuman greed
threatened the peace of the world and tho freedom of all
I peoples, but st ill we were patient and hoped that the light
oi. justice and honor might break through the coak ot mili
tarism into the hearts of the German people and that rea
son might come to the German government. But when a
long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same object, evinced a design to reduce all other na
tions and peoples under absolute despotism, it became our
right, it became our dutv, to fight that ruler, that govern
ment, that people with all of
money, food and bullets. J lie
of Germany is a history of
tions, all having, in direct object, t he establishment ot an
absolute tryanny over till people and all nations. To prove
tins, let lacts De submitted to
lie has commit ted outrageous crimes against American
citizens upon the high seas.
lie has wilfully and needlessly murdered American wo
men and children.
lie has tortured and slain prisoners of war.
He has violated every known law of war.
He has violated every international law which stood
in his course of brutalized warfare.
He has enslaved the peoples of conquered territory.
He has murdered non-combatants, even including little
babies.
He has made bonfires
churches and hospitals. i
Te has sunk hospital ships.
He has made war upon Ited Cross workers.
lie has fomented plots against the United States while
this country was at peace with Germany.
He has hired destructionists to destroy life and prop
erty in the United States and in every other country which
resisted his power lust.
He has committed unforgivable crimes against the fe
male population of conquered territory.
" Ho lias torn up treaties and scored the. rights of hu
manity. He has plunged the world into this war, and by so do
ing, has become the arch-murderer- of all time and the
slayer of more human beings than all other murderers of
tho world. '
We, therefore, the people of the United States of
America, on this Fourth of July, do solemnly publish and
declare, that the United States of America will exert its
last ounce of st rength, will give its last man, will spend its
hist dollar, and will fight to the hist day of our existence
as a free nation, to the end that our foe, the enemy of hu
manity, justice and liberty, may be defeated; That the
final victory may be so complete, so decisive that never
again will German autocracy and militarism threaten the
peace of the world nor the liberty of the inhabitants
thereof. And for the support of this declaration, with a
firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we
mutually pledge each other, that we will loan of our sav
ings for War Saving Stamps and Liberty loans, that we
will give of our money for war taxes without complaint,
that, wo will support with our dollars and our time Red
Cross and all other war charities, that we will produce and
conserve food as requested by the food administration,
that we will not seek one penny of excess profits during
the period of the war, that wo who are able, will go "over
there" to the trenches of our allies, that we will utter no
world which will interfere with our country's war aim, and
that we will not fail to utter such words as will keep the
people's fighting spirit staunch and true and firm.

A Patriotic Message
(By Henry Watterson.)
From the beginning the Issue was
not less ours than of the countries
first engaged. Each may have had
ends of its own to serve. Nor were
these end precisely alike. At least
France to whom we awe alt we
have of sovereignty and freedom
and Belgium, the little David of na
tions fought to resist Invasion
wanton, cruel Invasion; to avert sla
very savage, pitiless slavery. Yet,
whatever the animating purpose
whatever the selfish) Interests or
England and Russia and Italy the
kaiser's scheme of world conquest
justified it.
-in us It sanctifies it. Why should
any American split hairs over the
European rights and wrongs Involved
when he sees 'before him grim and
ghastly the mailed figure of Absolu
tism with hand uplifted to strike Co
lumbia where these three years she
has stood pleading for justice, peace,
and mercy? God of the heart's hope
and home forbid! '
"War, horrible as war is -"hell,"
as a great -warrior said It was is not
without its compensations. "No man
has more than one time to die. In
bringing the realization of death
nearer to us war throws a new light
upon life. The soldier . Is a picked

Keep
An l-xlllorbil by a Woman.
Keeping up the corners Is a wom
an's Job. ,.
In war times It is especially , her
Job to keep up the corners of her Hps
in a smile!
The eyes are tho windows of the
soul; the Hps are the door-nlate of
the disposition.
Mp-corners that turn upward
speak tho eternal "Wbleome" of a
frequent smile and a happy heart.
Lip-corners that turn downward
whisper a warning, "No admittance.
Bewaro the dog."
Wise young men seeking a wife
are the mou who give the lips of
their lady loves a good hard look-
before they kiss, or ask an answer to
the question of love.
The time to look at a -woman's lips
Is when she doesn't know you are
looking. Any woman's Hps will curve
upward in a smile when she is con
scious of inspection. The toll-tale
corners must be watched -when the
mouth fs in erpose and the owner
thinks herself unobserved.
The years that bring the girl to
womanhood have set In tho corners
ot her lips the record of her smiles
and gentleness or of her frowns,
pouts, obstinacy, and melancholy. lie
who runs may read the signs.
And now, in war times, Hps which
always held the sweet upward curve
of smiles must guard It carefully,
lest the heartache and the sad
thoughts that follow absent lovers,
sons, brothers, and friends, hnii
erase the beauty and courage our sol
diers remember. And those whose
fretful thoughts hare been recorded
in downward curves must start a
new roeord, and In tho beauty ot
self-forgetfulness and tho pride and
glory or servtce, must "turn the cor
ner" toward smiles.
There Is one supreme law of beau
ty and charm every woman should
learn by tho time she Is sixteen, and
remember every day thereafter: All
men hate tears and love smlles;there
is no beauty in a mouth which does
not smile.
Mouth corners aro like a traffic
policeman's signal to men who have
eyes and use them.
I.lps that turn upward signal "Go
ahead!"

The original cause, of course, is over-eating,
worry, insufficient exercise, concentrated foods
and other modern evils.
Tlie best way to help Nature
lubricate the intestines is
by using Stanolax.
Stanolaz has none of tlie
disagreeable features ot
