them are keen to stand by the old country and to refrain from words and actions which might tend to lessen our national preat- ige in the eyes of neutrale or enemies. Those of the Democratio party who claim to be in any Lense consistent could not well have followed any other course. However much the more rabid of them may have misunderstood the ideas expressed by the word Socialism, however much they have gone out of their way to make that word mean whit it never was intended to- and never can mean, they at least must be at one with the rest of society in feeling that they are pledged to uppose tyranny, and that the action of Germany to- wards Belgium is about as good an example of oppression as could be looked for, whether in early or modern timer.
