FOR THE VIRGINIA ARGUS.
FRIDAY, ocroBeR 20, 1909.

THE ensuing winter will be an interest
ing period for the United States OF Amer.
ca; for Congress will in all probability
have Co determine on system of policy, in
relation either to peace or war, by which
this country must be governed for many
years to come. The evils of mistake in
politics at this epoch will be fruitful of sab
sequant disasters.
We confidently assert there never was
point OF time since the commencement of
the French revolution, which required
more fortItude, vigilance, foresight, and
decision, in the councils of our nation, than
the present. Whether the valor of the
people will or will not be called into
extensive action it is impossible to say;
but that there is wide field for the ex-
ercise of the genius and Judgment of our
wisest patriots, will not be for a moment
disputed.
The opportunity thus afforded for the ex
ercise of intellectual slgacity, arisey--

during the prevalence of the war.
IL is likely tbat the war in Europe will
continue, in one shape or other, for con.

che English, like two powerful parties near :

another until France or England gains the
ascendant over her opponent. AT what

state of things, which could by any possibility in.
duce SO great u calamity to our country as the in-
