We might have accepted the sev­ enty cents for wheat and the six cents for cotton, but we could not have done it merely because we were command* ed- to do It ■By so doing we should have accepted degradation. We should have begun, after winning our free-' dom in our own revolution and estab­ lishing a unioh on the foundation of liberty in the blood and tears of our war between the states, to knuckle under to autocracy! We should have basely yielded up pur birthright as' Americans. Such a thought is Intolerable. Peace at such a price would not he peace.' but only a preparation for e future revolt against subjugation. Better any sort of war; better war forever,, than that Whenever the time comes for new, sacrifices, let us remember that we. fight, not for our liberties tomorrow or next year or. twenty years from now, but for our freedom today. Not for the right to live in the future, but, {or the right to make a Hying this year. ■ \.■ ■ , German oppression had begun to pinch us before we entered the war. ‘If We. had not declared war, but had accepted the conditions of life ordered for us by the kaiser, we should today bo a poverty-stricken people. Our fac­ tories would be shut down, onr work­ men. unemployed, our people starving, our farmers ruined by the poverty of those for whose consumption they grow their crops.' There Is I o S b and sacrifice in the war, but there would have been far more of loss and sacrt* fice in accepting the German terms. We should have lost more In money CARD Of THANKS To my frieiHs in CedarviUe ( wish to thank you for your kindnssg during the illness of my daughter, Mabel.

PffP, commerce under a neutral flag WM tree from any hindrance except the Ippal interference justified by War. liat tbe Germans not only stopped Huwchant vessels, they sank them, apak- them without warning, without traae—the most devilish thing war h§« seen since the savages scalped our iutceetors and threw screaming babies Jpto the flames of burning cabins. The Ge.rman plan of sinking mer­ chant vessels without .trace Is based the murderer’s maxim that 1 "dead mep tell no tales." It was exe­ cuted by the massacre of men, worn* ea children, who, having com­ mitted themselves to small boats in the open sea after, their ships were torpedoed, were mercilessly raked wjth gunfire, and, exterminated to the last unprotected, unpitfed soul! These are the murders that stain the hands eg tfa* -kaiser, his advisers and mln- jons. Thesp . outrages were per­ petrated on neutral vessels; when all that civilised warfare .gavejrthe. Ger­ mans a right to do even witnttre mer­ chant vessel under a hostile flag, was to atop it at sea and make it a prize Of W?£- To kill the civilians on board, even smdsr,'* hostile flag, was nothing but /unmitigated,murder. And these mur­ ders ware committed in order that we aright' be enslaved! Having the right to take the sea with his fleet, bnt be­ ing afraid to do so for fear be might lose it, az\£ being unable by fair means to stop the selling of our pro­ ducts to hie enemies, the kaiser de­ clared that he would do Jt by the foul­ est methods ever resorted to in war. He declared the sea closed, and that he would keep it closed, not by war, hut by murder. To have submitted would have cost us dear in prosperity; hut that would have been the least of our less. We should have had to grovel before the German government. CAR OF SALT s We have received a car of barrel salt andspre ready to serve you.
