at Kiwrsiiie church)
The fnur years i f war have taken us
frt.m innurame to kr.uttltde; from
uncertainty to certainty : frum onlook
ers to all.es. Germany has been un
maWed before the world. We now
see her real intentions. Before we
entered the war, the average Ameri
can was not largely interested m the
war. What he kiuw of German history
seemed honorable. He knew that she
had brought to an end the Koman Em
pire, and a thousand years later, she
had hepled to make the Reformation.
Three hundred years later when Napo
leon was threatening Europe it whs
her strong hand that helped England
to win the victory against autocracy.
The people of Germany have been
thrifty, industrious, religious scholas
tic and good citizens. It has been the
land of Kant. Goethe, Heethoven, Lu
ther, Mendelssohn and many other
men of great renown. Her schools
have been a great drawing center for
the scholarship of the world. When
the war came we saw these things and
not the deeiier meaning, her ambition
to rule the world. We considered that that I see.
the war was a rivalry between Knglanu
and Germany. This was evidently the
thought of President Wilson in his
speech of May, l'.Mi!, when he said:
"We want peace for two -reasons we
love it, and because we have nothing ! ,r .because lie dared to try to save a
... 1.. ;u . I i ... - ii-
as we will then have you put in your j
place, and e will have charge of
South America as to as we want to. i
Uon't forget this ard about fifteen ,
years fruiu !.,,w remember it and it !
w ill interest you."
Even greater cor tirmation of this!
dream we ha v.' in " The Greater (ier- j
many," by Tannerlierg. In this book '
is sketched w ilh maps y hat Germany
desires. There is seen the annexation i
of parts of England. Frar.ee. Holland, j
1'orMgal ami P.eigium. Even Argen-1
tina. Chili, Paraguay. I'raguay, with
parts of llohvia and Urazd are shown j
in the map. The book closes w ith this
statement: "The war mu-it leave I
nothing to the vanquished but their I
eyes to weep with." j
Is it any winder that our boys aie i
taught to kill or be killed, when we!
read such statements, and know that
such orders have been given to the sol
diery of Germany. We are finding out
that "war is hell," and that the Ger
mans have improved the devil's own
work a,t,d satanic power. Hy the grace
of God, we w ill go thnugh hell and
clean it up with our soldier boys and
our allies.
1 would not say a word that is irrev
erent, but as I go through this land of
ours and see the people in the light of
these revelations, it seems to me that
it is akin to "the w rath of the l.amb.
And whv should it not be
so'.' When we read of tit teen Canadian
soldiers being crui itied and left to die
with thirst and pain, and found so in a
Chateau in France, and of a priest,
w hose ears, nose and tongue w ere cut
0
to do w ith the present quarrel
In fact, at the oiening of the war
we had no prejudice against Germany;
we were predisposed toward her, while
hostile sentiments were expressed to
ward England, and our histories
ihowit unit tuncrht Kiih i-pant nuoit
and Hunker Hill Htid other memorials
Young woman from the raping soldiers,
we feel that divine retribution does
exist, and the devil is incarnated in
the German hosts.
Our second discovery is that Ger
many has been making ready for this
war. All the resources of the empire
have been at work : there h'is been a
had fostered such sentiments. In the i piling up of munitions ; there has been
arlv part of the war the conduct of
Great Britain gave us more concern
than that of Germany. She disregard
ed international law by searching our
vessels, and her methods of searching
mr citizens were not satisfactory to
,'Ur people.
Then cume the sinking of our ships,
the drowning of our citizens, the
hreaking of treaties. The awful ex
cesses became known, and the true
lesigns of Germany through intrigue
.vere seen by our government. Even
after Hernstorlf was dismissed, 1'resi
lent Wilson was exceedingly careful
and did all that he could to avert war.
So true was this, that he was reelected
in the plea: "He has kept us out of
the war." But m April, lid", national
honor and rights demanded that the
orld be made safe for democracy.
Not for our own rights, nor for our
twn honor alone, did we declare war
hut for tle safety of the world.
There were two great reasons w hy
we should tight Germany. What are
they? First, our own freedom was at
stake, as well as the democracy of the
Aorld. The same spirit that would
nave crushed our infant colonies in
1770 was at work once more to crush
mr liberty in 1917.
Second, we found that we were on
the kaiser's visiting list and we beat
aim to it by going over and calling on
him before he has a chance to call up
on us. "World power or downfall,"
was the cry of the German Bernhardi,
and we choose to have it a German
downfall," rather than our own.
Now since the war began, horrible
ealities have come to us, and we have
liscovered that Germany has become
Prussianized : that is, that the rulers
have a dream of world autocracy with
Germany in control. If one will read
"Egotism," by Professor Santaymia,
Harvard college, he w II us 'over that
the concentrated thought of Germany
is suernian. This has been th teach
in of Nietchske. Germany lias been
taught to bi'lit've that under God she is
to teach "kultur" to the world ; she is
the elect nation and to her is commit
(e.'l the destiny of the world. Fitche
Haiti one hundiel ears ago:
"Races et unborn implore you, the
stranger in far-otf lands entreat you;
all the ages of humanity throuhgout
the future have faith in you, and im
plore you to guard any possibility that,
m the great federation of a new hu
manity the member which is the most
essential of all to its existence should
a clanking ot tne satires; mere nas
been the laying of cement gun founda
tions, so that when the day had dawned
to obtain by force Germany went after
the coveted prizes, throwing all obli
gations to the winds.
We ought t;i have seen all this. For
at the first Hague Peace Conference in
lX'.i'.) Wilhelm said: "The best pledge
of peace is the sharp, gleaming
sword." At the second Hague confer
ence in l!)07, when England was trying
to come to some understanding with
Germany about armaments and ship
building, the Hon. VV. T. Stead came
home and said: "England's motto
must be 'Two for one.' " And from
that hour England has been making
ready in her ships to protect herself.
Again it is to be noted that Stengel,
a German authority on international
law, has said: "There will be no con
ference at the Hague when this war is
over. The one condition of prosperous
existence for the native is submission
to our supreme direction. Under .our
over-lordship all international law
would lie superfluous, for we ourselves
give to each one his rights."
It is most plain, then, that the strife
is between autocracy and democracy.
The President's one error was that lie
thought that a rift might be made be
tween the people and the Prussian au
tocracy, but now we know they are
one. The imperial government has too
long dominated ull the schools, Hie
press, the churches, the homes, the la
bur unions, to change their ideas, and
now they are poisoned, warped, fanat
ically religious with their ideas of an
elect people of God, until the German
soldier will do hellish and damnable
things to kill and torture his enemy
things which stamp him and his kind
as insane and amuck in the world.
Our third discovery is in the field of
diplomacy. Here we can trace the
work of Germany for win id expansion.
She made an alliance with Austria anil
Italy. The emperor's S'ster married
the king of Greece, and there was an
other marriage tie in lluss-ia, with the
czar. The ag.'tits of Germany were al
work everywhere, planning new alii
ances and stirring up trouble for hei
natural foes. Large sums of money
were given for press work and paid to
hirelings with hellish designs on the
unwary. Lust and murder were com
mon weapons in the making of such
alliances.
Our fourth discovery, which is most
startling in many respects is the es-
disappear; they must not search for pionage system of Germany, which has
on in vain when they need your coun
sels, yor example, your help, ...
you it is to whom among all modern
lations the seeds of human perfection
lave been entrusted, and to whom it
has given the first place in developing
ihem. If you succumb, humanity sue
umbs with you, and all hope of any .
future removatioin will be lost."
Now read what the German emperor'
iuid in I'.Mi": "In this spirit let old
ind new districts, citizens, "farmers ;
and laborers hold together and united-,
ly work together through loyalty and
love for the Fatherland. Then the
German people will be the ruck of
granite upon which our Lord can build
and complete his work of culture in j
the world. Then will the words of the !
poet be fullilled when he said in con- '
tact with German life the sick will
grow well again.
extended to nearly all trie world. We
now see the harm and treachery of hy
phenated citizenship in this country.
On duly 22, l'.Ho, the reichstag passed
the Delhrueck law providing for dual
citizenship. It says : "If any person
befoie acquiring nationality in a for
eign state shall have received permis
sion from a competent authority of his
native state to retain his nationality
of that state he shall not lose his na
tionality of that state. The Germ an
consul shall be consulted before grant
ing the said permission." Here is a
chance for perjury for all German
American citizens, for all who become
naturalized must renounce all relations
to any other nation.
It was because of this kind of hy
phenated citizenship that the kaiser
said: "Even now I rule supreme in
the United States where almost one-
We know now why Germany must, be , half of the population is either German
toiight and ueleated. Certain import
ant discoveries have come to us.
First, there is a German egotism for
world expansion, which it' carried out
would bring injustice to the world. It
is admitted that the British and Amer
icans have self-esteem and a good deal
of conceit. But Germany has become
intoxicated; obsessed with world
dreams; self-hypnctised with religious
delirium of its election by God to rule
the world. Wherever there has been
any land, she has seized it if she could
on one pretext or another. There be
came a German East Africa, a German
Southwest Africa. She annexed Shan
tung Penninsular from China on the
pretext of punishing her for the mur
der of two Catholic missionaries. She
would have taken Venezuela but for
the prompt and energetic work of
President Roosevelt w ho sent Admiral
descent or German birth and wher
3,000,0000 voters do my bidding at a
presidential election. No American
administration could remain in power
against the German voters, who,
through that admirable organization,
the German-American League, control
the destinies of that vast republic
across the seas."
It was because of this hyphenated
citizenship that the German prime
minister told our American minister,
Mr. (ierard, if war was declared by
the II. S. against Germany there were
five hundred thousand Germans in the
1'. S. who would arise and light for
Germany. And let us not forget Mr.
Gerard's splendid answer: "And there
are live hundred thousand ami one lamp
fiosts in the United States on which
we will hang them."
It is also to be noted that ex-Senator
Dewey to tight, if necessary, to enforce Lafayette Young, editor of the Ies
the Monroe Doctrine. And we all Moines Capital found in his investiga

Bay when Dewey was about to attack man teachers being supported by
the land fortresses, and complete his . American money, who were using
work against the Spanish forces. And American school houses, in six westert
when Gladstone otf ended the Sultan of
Turkey, and the Armenian blood was
flowing in the streets of Constantin
ople, the kaiser sent his photograph
to the Sultan with his compliments,
initiating himself into the good graces
of this wicked ruler and murderer of
the world.
All these things and much more re
veal to us that Germany has had a
world dream. It is to be noted that at
the close of the Spanish war Count
von Goetzen said to Maj. N. A. Bailey,
U. S. A. : "About fifteen years I ruin
now my country will start her great
war. She will be in Paris in about
two months, and then she will crush
England. Everything will move like
clockwork. Some months
will take New York and
Washington, and hold them for some
time. We will put your oour.try in its
place with reference to Germany. We
do not propose to take any of yxur
territory, but we do intend to take a
billion or more dollars from New York
states, for the teaching of "Deutsch
land uber A lies," and the supremacy
of the kaiser over Washington ana
Lincoln. Is it any wonder that this
country is hunting out the traitors and
slackers in these days, as well as I bote
of pro-German sympathy! There is no
place in our midst today but for patri
ots. It is not a question whether you
have been born in Germany, but it is a
question as to whether America has
been boin in you.

HAZLETT ANNOUNCES'
HiS CANDIDACY
To the voters of Hood River and Wasco
counties :
My name will appear on the official
ballot November oth, a.s an independ
ent candidate for state senator from
the Sixteenth Senatorial District.
The great things that are gripping
lis at this till it- make the dill'erences
which hitherto have separated the Vot
ers into political parties seem trivia!
and inconsequential. For all such old
conditions there is no place now and by
this time should have parsed entirely
out of our consideration. How small
they seem who., the nation is battling
for the principles on which it was es
tablished. Only this great present bus
iness realiy counts with us now.
There is a tremendous obligation
resting upon us to put our whole
weight into the scale in behalf of the
government and the civilization to
which we are indebted for all we have
and all we are. The immediate task of
winning the war is so great and ab
sorbing that it is entitled to our whole
attention, leaving other matters to re
ceive later coiisidesation.
Civilization is being battered out of
recognition wherever the German arm
ies and boats reach and this greatest
conflict of mankind must be fought to
a righteous conclusion at all costs.
The conquest of Pnissiani.sm is a grim
business that must be put through to
the end, however long and bitter the
way, and for this purpose the uncon
qtiered spirit of a free people is get
ting back of our government with all
they have, ready at the call.
Not only the resources of the in'Hvid
ual but also the resources of the state
of Oregon should be conserved and
placed at the disposition of the govern
ment for the winning of the war and
such legislation as will effectuate this
end should be immediately enacted.
No person should be elected to any
representative ollice at this time who
is not enthusiastically loyal and who
will not support the national adminis
tration in prosecuting the war to a
successful determination and in oppos
ing a premature peace.
