YOU SUITE IT CORRECTLY
i
The Newberry Herald and News"
says it can see no good that can come!
at this time of speeches justifying me;
United States in entering the war.j
or giving the causes leading up to the
war. It is also unable to conceive tnc,
popularity of a war in which 80 or
90 per cent of the men who are oeing
selected as fit for service, arej
asking for exemption. The HeraM,
i
and News is not to be understood as|
objecting .to the war or anything of.
that kind; but merely as stating in-j
disputable facts as it sees them. Wei
agree with The Herald and News in,
the matter, or at least we think we do.!
Our view of it is that the whole thing!*
*! |
could have been managed so as to;
have kept the United States out of it, |
and -without dishonor to the UnitedI
Sates. That could have been accom-;:
plisfced if at the outbreak we had foi-j
lowed up the policy at first lnaugura-!
?ed?severed all connection with Ru- 1
hope, and immediately set about building
up such an army and navy as we
- *re; bow building up. That would (
. have accomplished the desired object, j 4
provided only wt -were not attacked be- .
fore ire were ready to meet offense.
Bat iosasmuch -as we did not do that,
4kere is no other sane or sensible 1
orante now than for every citizen to j4
import tie government to the limit ( 1
of his ability. There is no choice1 i
about the thing as we can see and no j
way few a man who does not want to -j
?et oat of going unless he gets out <

it, if they are now willing to do theri-j
j?rt and are serving their country, i
Afl<id all this speech-making to create 1
a war sentiment is only doing narm.j'
That is what w.e said. j J
i k
Nor do we think it is right for these ?
orators to be referring to those who1
are making application for exemption' ^
as "slackers" which as we understand ,

T/e arc in it and the thing to do is
i
for cur people to get together and
get out of it as soon as we can anT
let us have an honorable peace a?
soon as possible. So far as our obstrvation
goes the people who opposed |
going in are not making any row and c
are going ahead and doing their part |
as good citizens and loyal American a
That is all that could be expect, d of J
them. To undertake by these ortaors j
to change their former opinion and to
^all them "slackers" only intensifies'
. the situation, if it does anything a*:
^ I
all. We know the .people of this section
pretty well and tliev are going

ahead in the performance of their du-J

mi-ncfioTi which will take more than

heard.
