We Are n Fighting Byeed.
81. Louis Republic)


The painting eagerness Of a large and
respectable element of the Senate to
plunge us into war with Spain and tho
measure Of responsive applause which
greets the efforts of these senators ara
"a reminder Of the fact that We are the
most Warlike people I'm the world.
The Spanish sneer. borrowed from
NapOleon's opinion OF the British. that
we are "A nation Of shop-keepors." eN-
presses only one side OF the truth con-
corning us. And therein lies the para
dOx Of the American character.
Our population. made up as IL IL Of tho
most adventurous and enterpflsing oe
the master races OF the earth combines
the spirit Of war and the spirit OF COM
merce as has 10 other In the history Of
the world. The nation Is only little
over 100 years Old and yet. not count
ing the Revolution. It has fought three
wars Two Of these were Vith foreign
foes, and both were won by our arms.
The other. which was the hercest and
most awful that mankind has yet known,
was fought among ourselves. and the ma
TONS marvellous Iecuperafivc strength
would have been inadequate 20 the task
Of rebuilding the shattered structure OF
business but for the commercial spirit
behind IL.
Dating our national taste for conflict
~ the Revolution We have fought four
wars. al intervals OF about thirty years.
From the close Of the Revolution TO tho
war OF 1872. when we whipped Great
Britain the second time. barely twenty
nine years bad elapsed We had a little
brush with Algeria in 1915. which though
OF no mean consequence IN tho ultimate
sweep Of lts result. cannot Dee counted IN
The category of great wars.
We pursued the unromantc ways OF
peace after that for about thlriy-one
years. and then swept down on Mexico.
Thirteen years later. when we turned on
each other. our puguacity WAS fully
satiated. but not rooted out. Less than
thirty-twO years have passed since That
uuspeakable drama WAS enacted, and
the restless spirit which seeks combat
and carnage o. again asserting itself IN
demand for a rush on Spain.
Probably. Il we had not had the In
dian 10 sublue between the big conflicts,
our record Of vars would have been
longer.
n IS noteworthy that the spirit OF
peace has from the first been stronger
| In New England than in any other Sec
| ton Of the country. So bitterly opposed
| Ia the war OF 1872 were the descendants
/ OF the Puritans that Massachusetts,.
! Connecticut. and Rhode Island refused 10
| furnish their quota OF troops for carry
/ ing on that conflict. SO determined were
the New Enelanders at that time 70 hold
| aloof that IN 1874 twcnty-six delegates
met an convention az Hartford TO de-
yise means TO end the war" Some his
! torians are 50 0utspokon as 20 contend
that the states represented I'm that con-
ventlon were seriously contemplating Sc
cess.on. and that their thoughts were d.
vertod from this purpose only by treaty
OF peace being entered into nine days at
ter the assembling OF the convention.
IL Is not strange. therefore that the
| strongest opposition 10 war with SPAN
should come from New England.
