The Root standard is a good standard, If you are debating in your mind, or otherwiee, the ques- tion whether or not the United Btates ehould have entered the war, be care- ful you do not permit a traitorous feel ing to develop. Here is the Root standard. ‘ A nation which declares war and goes on discussing whether it ought to have declared war or not, is impotent, A democracy which cannot accept its own decisions, made in accordance with its own lawe, but must keep on endless discussing the question already decided, has failed in the fundamen. tal requirements of self-government. And if the decision is to make war, the failure to exhibit capacity for sell. government by action will inevitably result in the loes of the right of self- government, “The men who are speaking, writ- icg and printing arguments sgainst the war now, and sgainst everything that is beiog done to carry on the war, are rendering more effective service to Germany than they could render in the field. The purpose and effect of what they are doing is eo plain that it is im- possible to resist the conclusion that the greater part of them are at heart traitors to the United States and will fully seeking to bring about the tri- umph of Germany and the humilis tion and defeat of their own country. ————— A ——— Mr. Bryan's Rale of ¥atriotiem. There is no better rule of patriotism for the guidance of all pacifiste, con- ecientious chbjectors and sticklers for the rights of free speech than that laid down by William J. Bryan in an ad- dress in Chicago, After asserting that the citizen who insists uprn criticising the war poli- cies of the Government is **a promot. er of anarchy,” Mr, Bryan said ; I don’t know bow long the war will lsst, but I know that the quick- est way out Is straight through. Any division or discussion now would simply prolong the war and make it more costly in lives and treasure, No man hates wor more bitterly than Mr, Brysp, but war bas come in spite of everything that was done to avoid it, Mr. Bryan's way of ending it is to beat Germany as soon ss possible, That is thejof way all men who see straight, and Mr. Brysn is doing a great public service in bringing the issue into the open. Eugar to be 8c a Pound, Beet sngar producers in conference with the food administration at Weaebington, on Thuredsy, reached a unsnimotis agreement by which the stable retail price of sugar will be about eight cents a pound. They will sell to wholesalers at eastern refining points at seven and one-ourth cents 8 pound, cane bssle, and the retail price, it was stated, normally would be not more than threc-fourths of a cent higher, American cane sugar representatives, it 1s believed, wi)l take action similar to that of the beet sugar men within a week, Moet cane producers already have agreed to s seven and one-fourth cent price, or its cquivalent, but this is not regarded ss final until the de - cision ls unanimous. The new sugar price will become effective in the west October 1, aud in the esst about two weeks later, —————— SA SAAN ‘ World War Talks ” in Grange Are cadis, Th adie, ureday evening, October 4tb, BI RHUNE DEAD, Diath Came Taesday Night at 0:45 O'clock, After an Lilness of Two Weeks, Centre Hali’s most distinguished citizen, Hon, Leonard Rhone, died Tuesday night at about 9:45 o'clock, at his home in Centre Hall. He had been ill for a little over two weeke, having taken his bed at the head- quarters of the Grange Encampment and Fair at the openlog of the ex- hibition. From his bed he directed the management of the most success. fal exhibition held In a number of years, He refused to leave the camp ground headquarters until the close of the exhibition on Friday, when he was removed to his home n short dls tance away, From tnat time to the time of his death Mr. Rhone grew gradually weaker, and while hie friende greatly regretted his condition and did all for him possible, there was little hope entertained for his final recovery. Mr. Rhone gave a'most his entire life to the advancement of the in- terests of the agricultural clase, He wae abeolutely unselfish, he lived to help others, Through the organization of the order of the Patrons ¢f Husbandry Mr. Rhone endeavored to uplift finan, cially, scelelly acd morally the far- mer. He wielded a wide i: fluence in Grange circler, and whether as 8 Mas ter cf the Btate Grapge, member of the legislature, or citizar, the purpose of his heart was to ald and comfort others, Interment will be made at Centre Hall, by the side of his wife, Saturday morning.
