The fellow who thinks he knows it all usually knows less than the one who admits that he knows nothing. A clean mind needs but few promptings from others.

THE MAN OF GERMAN EXTRACTION WHO EXPERIENCES A NATURAL INTEREST IN THE WELFARE OF HIS STRICKEN FATHERLAND AT THrS TIME OWES IT TO HIMSELF TO REFLECT j ON THE UTTERANCES OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT IN THIS CAMPAIGN. MR. ROOSEVELT’S WORDS, IF REDUCED TO ACTION, WOULD MEAN BUT ONE THING, WAR WITH GERMANY. THE SORT OF PROTECTION WHICH MR. HUGHES SUGGESTS THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD EXTEND TO THE COMMERCIAL FORCES OF THE COUNTRY, WOULD MEAN, WHEN APPLIED TO THE RECENT Raid of a german SUBMARINE OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST, AN IMMEDIATE DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST GERMANY. CAN ANY LOYAL CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES, OF WHATEVER NATIONALITY, SUPPORT THE DOCTRINE OF PLUNGING AN ENTIRE NATION INTO VIOLENCE AND BLOOD FOR THE PROTECTION OF COMMERCIAL PROFITS, THE GREATER PART OF WHICH GOES INTO THE POCKETS OF A PRIVILEGE - PROTECTED ARISTOCRACY? NO ONE WILL URGE AN AMERICAN VOTER TO CONSIDER GERMANY’S WELFARE IN ARRIVING AT iHIS DECISION AS TO HOW HE SHALL VOTE, BUT WHEN ALL THE EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT BOTH THE WELFARE OF THE UNITED STATES AND GERMANY IS SERVED BY THE ELECTION OF WOODROW WILSON, THE GERMAN - AMERICAN VOTER CAN REJOICE THAT IN HIS VOTING HE HAS SERVED THE BEST INTEREST OF BOTH THE LAND OF HIS ADOPTION AND HIS NATIVITY.—Indiana Forum.
