that. There may still remain a

there is loss of life, brings sorrow and
anguish to someone. In this connec
tion these words of Archbishop Ire
land at the Chicago peace jubilee, af
ter the close of the Spanish-American
war, are recalled: "Killed only one;
the glad news rang, the headlines
read, the newsboys cried; killed only
one; he was my son, what were a
thousand to this one, my only son?
Reduce to the smallest sacrifice of
human life the carnage of the battle
field, and someone is dead, someone is
bereft." How strongly that was
brought home to us in the sinking of
the Lusitania, and in one or two other
instances. For that reason, as well as
many others, think peace and talk
peace. In this terrible time it is bet
ter than talking and lightly consider
ing the consequences of the other side.

As a result we have many "re

we think much and say too little. I

neighborly spirit; let us open up our
hearts that the farmer may look with

should dwell together in unity ar
brotherly love. Let us act as we feel,
and give the farmer to understand
that he is of us, as well as with us.

for the secret societies to send as

possess sufficient ability to take a
