I Editorial Pag The Herald continues to get mail also verbal expressions both pro and ram The last letter of import was received Tuesday. It was from a red blooded American. The type of man who is to save the nation. A man of common sence and sound iudiiement. A man of influence and standing in his community, He enclosed his check for $1.50 nnd his name is to appear on the mailing list in place of the "Quitter" mentioned last week. You know we called for a volunteer. We got him He wern't the only one we got, We added two others last week. And that quitter wose't the only one we lost eitner. A rather elderly gentle man came in with his bristles up Saturday and said that he had mme to ifet his name oft the list because it was staeed in an editorial last week that we didn't care how goon every man who was not tooth and toenail with his government got off. He got off all right He in formed us that if everybody had the grit he had we would have to close our doors. He said that two thirds of the people in the country were of his opinion. As to his proKsition we are of the opinion that if everybody had the grit this man has Germany would waU all Europe, Asia, Africa and the Hies of the 81 a and would finish up by takinn the American continent in the hollow of its tyrannical hand. We challenge the statement that two thirds of the people in thiscoun try are of tne same grit as this man and we hold out as evidence the fact that the American peO' pie, as a whole, are lending their money and giving their lions to the support of the government. If two thirds of the people of the country had this sort grit con gress, which reflects the senti inents of the people, would nev er have doclared war, Que new subscrber says in concluding his letter to the Herald. "It seems to me we have arrived at the time that it is necessary for us to speak out"As toclosing the door of the Herald if we had any idei- that two thirds of our subscribers were pro'German we would close up voluntarily and look for musuet and ship.
