FACTS ABOI T THE WAR (
S03IE HAVE BEEN OVEKLOOKED
(By Col. D. A. Dickert) !
It is an old adage that "all nations !
can have such governments as they,
desire, and all wives such husbands.
(
as they deserve.*' If the people of,
I ,
Germany are satisfied with their gov- j
eminent, prosperous and contented
with the best schools and colleges,!
best system of agriculture, and the
greatest of manufactures of war.
is beneficial to mankind in all Europe,;
with a friendly disposition for her
neighbors and helpful to her citizen- j
ship, whiy should we go into tangent?
i oH -if hor "antnr?raHf> prnvf*rnmp.nt ?*'
What.has Russia had for h undreds of
years but the most autocratic, and barbarous
government to her citizens
known since the dark ages, confining
thousands of her innocent men
and women in Uie mines of Siberia,
without the semblance of a trial. *
Russia and England have been for
more- than two hundred years, the
most warlike and grasping nations on
earth, robbing weaker nations of
their land and liberties, wherever
these nations were too weaK to aeiena
themselves and had no frieds to help
them. What have we ever said or
done? Russia has been really the only
autocratic government in Eur|>e.
Germany is no more so, than the United
States and her kaiser, in many
things, has less power than our president,
so whatever we <lo in the contest,
let us be fair and just. While
we know Germany to be a peacable
nation, with less'wars to her credit
than any of the' contesting parties,
don't let us make a monster of her,
just because we are going to war
with her. Since her existence as an
Empire, she has never shown any attempt
to possess any territory on tfel3
side of the Atlantic.
Secretary McAdoo declared: in an
address to the bankers and business
ment out west that Pres. Wilson couid
no more have kept us out of this war, j
than the sun to fail to sliine on th3 1
earth tomorrow. Now he knew better

did every man that heard him, for
how did other nations keep out? Why, j
by simply asking our people to Jo j
what Germany very cordially requested
them to do, "keep off of ships carrying
conrtabands to her enemies.
She could more easily have kept out
of it, than spending billions of money,
byxushing us into it and upturn-!
ing our whole industrial fabric, leav- j
ing our country in a worse state of j
unnest than ever since its foundation.:
Wh^ 'should not Germany be as much I
entitled to her system of government, j
without outside. interference, 'as Italy, j
or England, or in fact,'any of the oth- j
er governments in Europe, so long as'
she does not interfere with others. |

we should have a standing army of
500.000 men, with a trained reserve j
of two million, that could be called to \
the colors, within a month's time. !

congressman makes a motion to in- J
crease the army, or raise its pay, a j
chorus of "noes" would come from |
every part of the house. Such expres- j
sions were heard, "we want no great j
army," "nobody wants to fight us anr* j
if they do we can whip any nation
with men we could put in the field*'.
Let some member propose raising the
number of our standing army, his \
voice would be drowned, by angry de- j
r.unciations of the very thought of it. i
"It wouJd oe dangerous lu a icyuun- ;
can fornj of government," "our peopie j
would qot stand for their money be- j
ing spent on a useless and idle army"t'
"if war comes, then it is time enough .

should ever need a large army tnt-e
will be plenty of men to volunteer."find
lots more of such idle twadle, until
our real up-to-date congressmen j
were afraid to speak of the army in ,
any form, but to Ridicule it. We all j
know how President Wilson laughed t
at the idea of our getting into war I
with Germany, when the subject was
first spoken of, and how earnest he
became when he saw the people getting
excited, and a chance to raise an
army we are sorely in need of, and
one too tha.t we may need when it is
too late to be of any service to us.
Proe?f?ont Wilson is making use of
this war to get f.he army we have so
long needei an<l could not get on account
of 21 few soreheads.
Here is a situation few are aware
of or lost sight of by the -excitement: j
of war. The United States had made I
i
some kind of loose treaty witn japan, i
by which her citizens, when they come !
to this country to live, should ft? au- j
corded the same rights and liberties, j
as our citizens were allowed over
there. This did not suit some of the,,
v-estern states. In making this treaty
the president had ignored entirely tire
question of States' rights. When the
states of California, Oregon, Arizona
and other Western states formed new
state constitutions, they declared
"for separate schools- for the whites,1'*
that "Japanese could only own a prescribed
amount of land," that only S3
many Japanese could work on public
buildings at a time, and many other
offensive sections. When the Japanese
pointed to the sections of the
treaty disregarded by these states, to'I
satisfy them a committee was sent to
those states by congress urging them
to change or modify their constitutions.
? r _
" But they refused to do it, pointing
to the United States constitution granting
the states'Those rights. The
Orien/als can't see how it is possible
V10+ rtno ctatp ran be more powerful
than the whole United States. Then
congress gave deadly offense to the
Japanese, by her emigration laws
passed by the last and several congresses.
Thrice have they been vetoed
by the persident. The last bill
was passsd over the veto and stands
as law today. xWhat will be its om
come, time will only show. Nothing a
nation guards with more jealousjf
than treaties with other nations. "If
that is all we are preparing for, and
whi6h must be settled ^n the future,
why all tin? frtibbub in

a very reasonable question, |

It makes one shudder to think of
our plight had Japan seen fit to attack
us before the -world war held her
in check. ' With her army of 1,000,000
with the prestige of defeating the
greatest nation in Asia or Europe in j
her favor, with a navy second to,
none, with the exception of England!
and then to think of our army of
60,000 with no preparation for any

that number in the mines, workshops,
