1 The City of Franklin, the
Peacemaker
of Revolutionary times, accepts thankfully
the work of the peacemakers at the Court of
Versailles, subject, of course, to the approval
of the powers that be at Washington.
Philadelphia did herculean work in wag
ing war, and Philadelphia will now do hercu
lean work in waging a lasting peace.
Much must be said in praise of those who
have laid out the first chart of peace. It can
not be possible that any one man on either
side of the sea has the power to put in jeopardy
the safety of a nation.
To many of us, to the manor born, the
Monroe Doctrine, enshrined in our national
life, has been regarded with a kind of sanctity.
We believe that American common sense
and energy are equal to every emergency.
The Star Spangled Banner is our flag and
justice is our ideal.
Let the discussions of the present situa
tion be calm, careful and speedy.
