T6E hearty response made by the peo-
pie OF the United States to the demand
that the government be sustained in the
policy outlined with reference to Cuba
shows that patriotism Is the dominant
factor In public sentiment. True, there
we're a few who sought to inject little
politics and secure little party advan-
tage from the crisis. But the governing
sentiment was for the national honor,
regardless OF all other considerations.
Some good has come out of this war
fever. 1t did not need war or rumors of
war TO demonstrate The fact that there
are DO sectional divisions IN this country.
Bot there were grounds Cor the fear that
the people were growing restless under
the enforcement OF laws created for the
protection of individual rights. Tie
events OF the past week show the need OF
government vested with Sufficient
power to maintain existence and to pre-
serve rights of which 1t is the guardian.
That fact is now recognized and people
act in conformity with 1t. Perhaps Hen
~ Wattersou was right IN the statement
that war is necessary at intervals to
teach the real responsibility OF citizen
ship.
