And, in his customary style, Dale blustered, bungled and blundered Dale’s resolution virtually would compel every city employe to partici- pate in the preparedness parade of June 10, The Star is for preparedness—for red-blooded, vigorous, adequate pre- paredness—as the best guarantee of peace. It was The Star that first suggested the preparedness parade in Seattle But preparedness does not mean despotism. It does not mean stifling in- dividual freedom of thought and liberty of legitimate action. Those who oppose preparedness, because of honest difference of opinion, re entitled to hold their views. It is the duty of the preparedness advocates to try by force of argu- ment and fact to convince them of the error of their position. But it is not right to compel any one to march in a preparedne if he is opposed to preparedness The Star is glad that the judiciar tically shelved the Dale resolution. Let every city employe who desires to march BE SION TO DO SO. THAT IS bass parade committee THE COUNCIL SHOULD DO. Mercy for the Coerced HIS is a fine and opportune time for Uncle Sam to display a little of the Christian spirit. On account of the Columbus raid, dits are to be executed in New Mexico and five more in Arizor ame offense Admitted that the Columbus massacre was a ing a fit punishment for the perpetrators, yet it should be taken into account that these men are but ignorant, benighted peons, and, it has been shown, driven by threats, to the commission of the crime by Villa. If there were any officers, or proved ring leaders, in the lot, it wquld be different as to them. But a wholesale hanging would only serve to inflame the ignorant pas- sions of the unhappy masses of Mexico, of whom we are seeking to make friends : It would furnish Villa with the most potent recruiting argument he could find. It would be an inhumane, even if a vgry human, act, unworthy of a great nation taking g stand before the world for humanity in its higher meaning and commute the sentence to life imprisonment.
