In view of the fact that possibly T have left some of mv friends under c tiie impression that I would be a can- "v didate for the legislature in the ap- . i proaching democratic primary I feel ? that it is due them that I make this r statement. : i " While I appreciate the kind words 11 of friends from different sections of ' c the county who have voluntarily of* a fered their support in the event r s should be a candidate there are many * reasons just now why I can not enter * tlie race. ! "* In the first place my business de- 1 mands all of my time and in the event of my election, and all candi- * dates expect to be elected or they j g are foolish to announce, it would he at too great sacrifice for nie to he 1 0 away from home during the time th> v legislature cits. Arid if T should ac cept the trust I would fill it to the "best of my ability regardless of the personal loss. .0 } d I am frank enough to admit that i c there is a fascination in legislative ^ work for me and I would enjoy an- j t other term in the legislature. j t I thank my friends everywhere for j ^ their kindly interest and assure them ; +. I ?" that if at any time I can serve them 1 a shall be only too glad to do so. c 1 . E. H.

J "I may fight on until it is finished, r" )r I may be finished long before the , . in var comes to a close, but to me it * cc will never cease to be a thing of terror md of dread, for I still think all wars aT st night be prevented and disagreenents settled by diplomacy instead of ' . >loodshed. Often when I look at the 1T , pg levastation caused bv the ravages o? I var I am made to wonder if there is i till a place in all the world whero | nen dwell in peace, and that dear old p1 Sible phrase, "Peace on earth, good vill toward men," still has a mean- rv ns." This is from a man who is now in ?V| he trenches and who has been on the rr irin<j line and who has seen for himelf what it all means, and somehow t expresses very truly what we hav<* fn 'ften thought. In this day of en- ^ ightened civilization and Christianity : P( t does seem that men should be able - . ... XT a settle differences without the use 1 f brute force, for after all brute force 101 !oes not settle any principle of right ?r justice, and yet we are so consti-1 uted, and properly so we suppose, iri hat we must fight at times rather , ^ han su'bmit to all kinds of indigni- w' ies and wrongs, but there is some- ^ hing badly out of joint somewhere, w nd each fellow in a row thinks the ^ ther fellow is wrong, and if he did not j here could be no row. So all we can ! o is 10 ngnt trie tmng to a nnisn, t innd maybe when peace is again re- J di tored it will be an enduring peace j hi ^nd a blessing to future generations. ! a = md the time "will have arrived for Peace on earth, good will toward "hi len." ... i pr We were under the impression, i ^ough we may be mistaken, that j biere was some sort cf law nassed ' to v congress to deal with disloy?l<; 1 to nd disloyal utterances, either by J ; *N? ; 'ord or action. Th?re are fo many: ^ tws now, and so manv regulations ' * f one s conduct, that we do not1 , . , , . . i r)V, now rnat we nave Kent up witn a:i 1 T>D f them. We try to be an obedient. , j c? ^ nrl law abiding citizen, and if we ; hould hanpen to violate anv law or , vl] egulation it will foe done without in>nt though we recognize the old ? i p rmcinle that ignorance is no ex. ! use, but in these days of the multi I i "ha lication of laws and rules and regu I : ?a r? >tinns it mi^ht ho nspd. in exfpmia- ' on siid mitigation of the offense. ^ VI We have noticed where some nec^lo ave been arrested and turned over \T7( ) the federal authorities and internth d and sent to prison for disploval utjrrnce5:. and over in Gaffnrv the : f Vi tv>or day a minister was placed in ; ' no ail on the choree of making deroga-j i t) irv r?m?rks about the president. 1 W f What wa started to say is, if Mr. ! ^ tlease is as disloval as the r>->-ne^~ : : Pf nd wind-jamimers a^e saving he Is, ! i rTi ~hv do thev not arrest Mm hring i , , .

And then if the conclusion : eached by these oien and newspi- ' ers is correct that all persons who j TO jrpi>-io- fvote fT* him oal?^ J isloyal, why not arrest them and put ' hem ir? the j **, and then the-? would ' ^ ertainlv he *n end to th? c^moaisrn nd everything would move alon^r; ^ T>oothlv?Trtpvbo. As Please seems j [j -> be the main issue. both in th*1 ! g pnatorial races and in the Stat4; I aces, if we could eliminate the whoTe ! j ling: by legal Process it would be the ! funnier method. it seems to u*. j We siimply throw this out as a sus-> J estion to those who seem to be so luch worried over the situation, and e make no charge for it. So far ss *e are concerned we are not at all t TA*?r*?A/^ if '"Dnf J - V? r\ 4- ?\ I kji i i^"u uuuui ii>.
