would be for them to quit thinking

peace with England for more than
one hundred years with not a forti
fication on the Canadian border of
3000 miles.
During all this time England has
been our best friend and commercial
customer. We are mostly English,
speak the same language, have the
same idea of personal liberty, civil
law and religion standing for the
same civilization equality and jus
tice to all men. We mention these
for the consideration of our German
sympathizers, who had rather fight
England.
Broad-minded, brave men can fight
out their quarrels, shake hands, for
get and forgive. Only narrow, weak
souls can forever hold grudges. But
England has a king. That saves her
from the excitement of a presidential
election while her king has much less
power than iur president and would
not dare to veto any law the people
want. France and England are our
best friends and if they go down the
United States will have the whole
burden of trying to uphold the
world's civilization.
