The Nearest Duty.
For the Repabllcan minority in the
Kanato nnd the House o single duty out?
weighs all else. Questions of national de>
fence, of taxation, of all the routine mat?
tere of legislation and politics will claim
attention in their turn, but at the pre.-cr.t
hour the probleil) La not national business,
but national honor.
Sever months aj?0 more than one hun?
dred men, women and children wer? mur?
dered up?m the high fieas by order of the
tapar?a] t3erman <.<ver:.ment. They
were murder?'?! while travolli. ?
protection of international law and witfc
the explicit guarantee of the Presiilent of
the Unit' ! ma forma!
communication to the German Govern
ment. The murder was indcfeti; :
l;iw, in humanity, in reason. It was a
piece of savagery unparalleled in Um hi-?
lory of civilized nations.
Tor this crime the Pre ??dent <>f the
United Statea deinanded of the German
Government a disavowal. Six months
have passed since the demand was made,
and no formal answer has been had, at:?i
there is not the sm.illest prospect that a
actory answer ever will be r?
In the mean time the agents of the Impe?
rial German Government in this country,
both diplomatic and unofficial, have made
nation the i '.aygrout.d of anarchy
atui the field of violence. In a time of
full peace American factories have been
burned, American lives have been sacri?
ficed, American laws have been defied.
Only recently i ai there been on the part
Yior.a! administration the small
a real appreciation of the
peril and of the shame which its course
?Tought upon the American people.
Pot I months the Wilson ad
? ration, influenced by Democratic
politicians and terrorized by the threats
of hyphenated Americans, has faltered in
th.- f.i.'c of ita doty suad ranfeaaed itself
"too proud to fight" the menace
thi.-a country has known since the Civil
War. Its course has earm-d the ration
contempt abroad; it ha:- shattered the
self-respect of Americans at home; it
has estatdished in the minds of
countries the ?i- adly doctrine that Ameri?
cans will not protect their fellow citizens,
and it has permitted to gro??v up at home
the equally fatal conviction that because
of their political power a fraction of the
American people, animated by alien sym?
pathies, can violate the laws and take the
lives of the citizens of the United States
with impunity.
Such p?stilential notions must be de?
stroyed. It is the duty of the Republi?
cans in rCongreaa to make plain to the
country without delay or equivocation
that they place nation-i! tono* and safety
above all political considerations. It will
not do to aaak by merely negative policies
to profit by th an adminis?
tration whoae n ? suited from
a similar lack of courage. It will not do
to criticise its failure while shrinking
from any de-Anita and itlittad
purpose.
The temptation of the politicians to
profit by the inability of Mr. Wlson to
aatisfy the (??-rman-Amer temp?
tation to make- the Republican party the
beneficiary of h wrath, will. If It
prevail?, bring upon th?- ? ntempt

weakneaa, his failun folly, the

avowed and the Imperial German G
ment agrees to send to The Hague the
niitstion of indemnity.
Early Christmas Shopping.

the question of military prcpar? ?
there are signs in abunda -.? t" i

kind of prepared no.* s being l
Christina*-. The ho' m is not
three weeks away, and already tin
show the annual rush an?! hustle to buy
gifts. It Is none too early.
Shopping now will save the ?
labor and inconvenience which eve

est courtesy cannot prevent later,
the last-minute crush is at hand. S!;

ers, whose task at the best is hard enough
at this time of the year. P I : at i n
can only bring toil and troub ?
who buy and a weariness of body and'
spirit to those who sell which do not fit|
with the spirit of Yuletide. Fortunately, i
the public is learning this, an?:.
Ing with the moat enlightened i
is working out a distribution of f.
purchasing over the weeks prec
Christmas, instead of leaving ever
until the few days just before the holiday,
as was once the general habit.
V? ' a repetition of the familiar in
tion, "Do your Christmas shopping ?

wiedom, a certain patriotism, in

my idea of an editorial Is that it should be

vituperative. I would like to an?wer your
"Ani.ricanism vs. Cowardice," but there is
nothing to answer, no argument to refute.
One cannot answer mere abuse or expression?
of opinion not bated on any laagible fact?
without going Into ?uch detail as to make
the letter too long for publication. Your
opinions are, in them?elves, of no particular
consequence to any one. but the unfortunate
