THAT "WAR TO END WARS"
Nobody but a blind Idiot can now
fall to see and realize what an utter
tragical farce was that World
War, and our purt In It. Are wo on
the verge of anothor precipice? The
normal condition of Europe and Atila
Is war. The ideal 100 per cent In
flghtTngTs'greed.~"They are after the
spoils every time. Woodrow Wilson's
"moonstruck vagaries" of making tho
world "safe for democracy" without
hope of reward or stolen Colonial
colonies, Is totally unknown to
Europe. They go to war in order to
rob, and besides beat their creditors
out of their money, advanced to help
them In their stealage.
As usual, war is now on In sections
over there We hear much ubout the
danger of making It another World
War. In less than twenty years since
the armistice of the last.
President Roosevelt rushed back to
Washington from Ills vacation in order,
as he said, to do his best to keep
this country out of the mean. What
does it mean? What is the Incentive
for our Involvement? True, a few
\mericann were killed in China. Were
they not warned by the Washington
administration to get out. and come
home? Harney Harwell, back from
Burope. says that it is a general tin
der box" over there. Suppose it ex
plodes and let* loose a vast conflagration,
is that any affair of ours?
There is warning that our munition
manufacturers are shipping war mat-rials
to Europe We remember vlv;
11> that these profiteers cleaned up
many extra millions in the same way
during the World War, and had much
to do with dragging us Into that confine
Suppose these arms vessels are
Mown up Is that any special reason
for haltering us and forcing America
to fight and die for these buccaneer
ing profiteers, as was done twenty
>ears ago? An old fablo mention*

engulf us
So far \ye can see no earthly reasor
for hoisting these danger signali
about the throat and probability o
our being grabbed by the nape of th<
n-ok and kicked into this maelstrom
If there is such a thing as neutrality
any more. America should apply if
This government was never neutra
before. Not that we are "too proui
to fight," but that we, should hav
sense enough to keep out of fight
that do not concern us

A Statement From '
Mrs. Frank SowelJ
(Lancaster News)
. wuh hhkfd Friday to comment on
the trial of Robert 8. for the
murder of iuy husband, B. Frank
Howell on July 4th. I was so shock
ed at the outcome of this trial that
1 couldn't think clearly enough to say
anything at that time. But people
of this town uud county, how any
Jury could give recommendation of
mercy (or a man like Ilobert Smith
la beyond me. He didn't get Justice.
He already hud a sentence to la?i
him almost life, If not all, In prison.
I don't think ho got a day for the
murder of my husband. If that Jury
had boon stroug minded enough to
ignore ope statement made by one
lawyer In his argument which was,
or something to this effect, "Wo only
have one man's statement we oan'de
pond upon, that Is the statement of
the defendant. Hobort 8. Smith.
Folks, that statement gave Robert
Smith his freedom; 1 say freedom,
because 1 can't believe he has a day
[for Frank's murder Frank Sowell
made a dying statement to Chief
Montgomery stating Just exactly how
it happened. That statement was lg
nor oil, and it wasn't a lie. Frank didn't
lie when well. He didn't lie when
dying. I'm the one that lias a life
term of hard work, worry and care.
Robert Smith has nothing compared.
If he had got Justice it may have
saved another innocent man from a
bandit's shotgun.
