LAWS RELATING TO THE
USE of t he PUBLIC HIGH

Those owning motor vehicles
are hereby urged to procure a

Especial attention is called to
the following sections

Mayor oa Plano, Texas.
Those who love their country
ought to rejoice nt the presi
dent’s answer to the Pope. Ah
surd, imi>08sibble, offensive to ail
exc. pt the German and his allies,
the Pope s proposal is well an
swered by the president, as the
Star Courier said two weei ago
that it hoped for.
We have now a president who
comprehends the task imposed
| by the war and who knows the
nature of the enemy. May his
, wisdom and courage animate
j every citizen. May we hear no
J more of pacifism until the enemy
is so chastened by defeat he no
longer t reats the obligations of a
solemn treaty as a “scrap of pa
l>ei\" and so shorn of power he
-cannot at will murder civilian
men in their fields and debauch
their wives and daughters at the
fireside.
The President says:
“It is manifest that no part
of this program can he success
fully carried out unless the res
j titution of the status quo ante
furnishes a firm and satisfactory
basis for it. The object of the
war is to deliver the free peoples
of the world from the menace
j and the actual power of a vast
military establishment controlled
| by an irresponsible Government,
which having secretly planned
to dominate the world, proceed
ed to carry the plan out withou
regard either to the sacred
gatiens of treaty or the long os
tabiished practices and long
cherished principles of interna
tional ac tion and honor; which
I chose its own time for the wai
delivered its blow fiercely and
suddenly; stopped at no barrier
either of law or of mercy; swej
a whole continent with tin* tic
I of blood—not the blood of s«
; diet s only, but the blood of imu
cent women and children ilso,
and of the helpless poor and now
stands balked, but not defeated,
the enemy of fourflfths of the
weriu, The poWei .s imi i>
i German people. It is the ruth
I less master of the German peo
pie. it is no business ot ours
how that great people came un
der its control or submitted with
temporary zest to the domina
tion of its pur|K)se; but it is our
business to see to it that the his
tory of th« rest of the world is no
longer left to its handling. ”
