PEACE WITH HONOR.

President Wibonks open letter ot Feb. 24, 1916, to S< n itbr Stone will assuredly find a place in ail collections of vital nation;: 1 dm m.i nt*. Ai a crisis of national welfare and for national honor the republics chief magistrate has drawn with the clear, ness of the l:ghfning>> fla h through the midnight skies the line of patriotic duty. • The German govy. n men is have attempted while war i ■ in progress to <i.;sr- g.ird and alter the principles upon which all civilized nations have agreed lor the mitigation of the horrors and sufferings of war. That, as the President uays. "no nation, no group of nations, has the right” to do. They may attempt it; they may attempt to deprive humanity of the rule of law; it does not consist with our honor to yield, no matter what the cost. We desire amity with them, but we do not fear their hostility. The President speaks for every American in whom the American soul is not dead or dying when he says: I cannot consent to any abridgment of the rights, of American citizens. The honor and self-re-spect of the nation are involved. We covet peace and shall pre- . serve it at any cost but the loss of honbr. To forbid our people to exercise their rights for fear "we might be called upon to vindicate them would be a deep humiliation indeed. It would be an acquiescence in the violation of the rights of mankind everywhere. It would be a deliberate abdication of our proud position as spokesman even ; amidst the turmoil of war for thd law and the right. » ♦ ♦ What we are contending for is of the very essence of the things that have made America a sovereign nation. She cannot yield them without conceding her own impotency and making virtual surrender O f her independent position among the nations of the wohd. : Woodrow Wilson has voiced the soul of the American people—the deep and resolute soul that lies un-

der all the surface storms of faction and that rises in mighty flood to overwhelm the trimmers of sails of profit and of personal prudence to their gusty flaws. He has touched with the finger of living light the American soul. Under that touch it does not pause to weigh and balance gains and losses.

The American people desire peace, but not the peace that comes as a mourner for dear ones wasted and honor lost. The American soul knows that there are calamities ev n worse than war. The American people know that their President has done all for peace in these evil days, and having done all yet stands for peace. Upon his summons they stand with their President for pea’ce, but only for peace with honor' Chicago Herald.

INDIANAPOLIS NEWS LETTER.

By Willis S. Thompson

Indianapolis, Feb. 29. lames Eli Watson is no spendthrift. That story about him spending .$ 1 00,0im <>r more to g vt. the noniinatio.n i a all a rnyi h. His, press agents have told us he is a very poor 'man. We believe it. V< hen he started his campaign L. O. Hamilton of the Columbia club said there was -no trouble about plenty of. campaign funds Representing the National Manufacturers’ association,, as he has always done in such-matters, the conclusion was reached that Watson should not suffer, y The Rushville stao sman has til'd hi< eampaign expense account at Washington. as the corrupt practice law requires. He says lie' has had not a penny for any source entering into lijs campaign. That lie paid.out sti">.o:; on account of heaflc'larlors in the Severin hotel. Indian;:p'di-: paid $1,217.23 for newspaper advertising: ‘ voluntarily" gave the Republican state central machine S3OO. And Hot another blessed cent. b\ hock, for anything. If he includes tile postage and printing, represented in bales of mail reported to have been sent out, and if he includes the large lithographs which plaster the state, and if lie includes telegraph and telephone bills, and if he includes the movie theater slides, if he adds all these to the cost, of his numerous clerks and stenographers, the price of a flock of hotel rooms for several months, and maybe an occasional box of cigars, what

else can a poor man be expected to get for $115.03? So why charge lb's man Watson with extravagance? lie has no traveling expense, showing that he walks from one meeting place to another, and since he can do the walking at night that saves hotel bills on the road. There is probably some mistake in the notices which were thought to come from his press agents, saying he had headquarters in other cities of the state. It* serves L. O. Hamilton and the other near millionaire pikers right for Jim to expose their stinginess. He knows times are hard and continues to talk it with earnestness. —o —o— When the Republican state central machine was making a statement on the Indiana political situation Joe Keallng was selected to speak. He says "the Progressive party has gone to pieces and the former members of

that faction have returned to us.” Representing the party that carried Utah by 5,521 and Vermont by 1,235 in 1912, and that took third ■,place in all the other states, Mr. Kealing speaks of 4,500,000 Progressive voters in the country and of 162,007 Progressive voters in Indiana as ‘‘that faction,” and says they “have returned to us” who carried Utah and Vermont! Imagine the 162,007 Progressive voters in Indiana returning to the machine in the hands of Joe Kealing, Jim Watson, Jim Hemenway, Jim Fesler, Harry Gates, Harry New and all the other Jims and Harries and Joes who have grabbed all the places on the ticket.

—o —o — They have their little conferences of the inner circle members of the Republican state central machine once a week. Each meeting things seem less hopeful. When the millionaires who started with Harry New'got cold feet, saw that Jim Watson had him beaten to death and that New could not get within a thousand miles of the nomination, they stopped putting up. Then the machine jumped to Watson believing that L. O. Hamilton could keep things moving. The machinists discussed the state campaign. They talked over the payment of over $2,000,000 Republican z debts by the Democrats and the fact that the men who have had an active part in the payment of this debt will probably be candidates for re-election in November. They compared the relative strength of the men who will probably be nominated for governor as they see it, and they believe they are beaten before they start. They see no chance on earth for any man beating Woodrow Wilson in Indiana and they believe Roosevelt will be the Republican nominee. So what they are spending most of their time trying to figure out, is what they can do to get the best possible campaign fund between now and November.

Mrs. Cora E. Woodou’ry, another Indianapolis woman, succeeded Mrs. Strong and she completed the work started by Mrs. Sirring with satisfaction- to everybody concerned. The exhibit consisted of many • aut'lnl examples of fine art, Indiana being the only state having an exclusive woman's' exhibit at the fair. The bomh. seventy feet long, and thirty feet wide, in the Varied Industries building. was very popular, ■he open fireplace giving, a home ■Mt. while the old hickory Inrnitute from Martinsville was eagerly bought by “exile Hoosiers’’ as souvenirs front back home'

Patterson and Mrs. Frank Willis, Indianapolis; Mrs, E. B. Ruby, Lafayette, and Mrs. Yantis Wells, Delphi.

Notice to Subscribers. March 1 will again witness many changes in address of subscribers to The Democrat, and every subscriber moving to » new postoffice or rural route should drop The Democrat a card at once apprising us of the change. Be sure’ to give the old address as well as the one to which

you desire to have your paper chang- f ed. By so doing there will be no delay in making the change complications are not likely to result. We have several subscribers' of the same identical name but gen- ’ erally they do not have the same postoffice address. If you simply say: “Change the address of my Democrat to Remington, R-4—John Smith,” we have no way of know- j ing which one of the several John Smiths on our list is asking for this change, but if you say: “Please change my address from Wheatfield, Ind., to Remington, Ind., R-4 John Smith,” we will know precisely who this particular John Smith is. ' Please remember this.
