THE BENEFITS OF THE WAR

It cannot yet be foreseen whether.
forced to abandon, or shall be .unwise
enough to choose to abandon, our old
policy Of national aloofness and take
a prominent place in the great inter-
national struggle for world wide
power. But one thing is already GER
tain. We can never again hold our
selves entirely, absolutely aloof from
outside affairs. We must hereafter
have a we'll defined international pol
icy and more vital international rela
tions-if only SO thatwe may limit our
practical responsibility for the troub-
les and the quarrels of the rest Of the
world.
Even this unavoidable degree of
change may bring troubles for us in
it's train. But it will surely bring ben
efits
There is, for example, no such
potent stimulus to wisdom as strong
sense of responsibility. When home
affairs, home rivalries and disputes
are no longer. the only ones to engage
the minds of the politicians and voters
their sense for the need of national
concord will be quickened, their feel
ing of responsibility will be deepened
and therefore even home affairs will
be approached in a wiser, saner, less
narrowly selfish spirit.
Again: the imagination of our peo-
pie has been touched, and this is also
a benefit. We come of an adventu-
rous race. We have not yet outgrown
our love for active lives, physical,
mental and emotional. We cannot

prosaic ways and the enjoyment Of
our ease, despite fhe firm belief of
Europe that we are thus content. We
long to do something big, and the
large tasks which occupied us for a
time have been pretty nearly finished
the assertion Of our independence,
the abolition Of slavery, the unifica-
ton of onr country, the conquest of
our continent. Of late, as writer in
the atlantic Monthly says, Gin politics
we have had important tasks, but
they have not been exciting" They
have been administrative, not Gre
ative, and they have given small
chances for the making Of any except
second rate regulations.
Now that larger political opportu-
mites will come to us (if only in the
sense that they must be prevented
from growing too large); now that
the imagination of the people has
been touched by the touch Of their
own hands upon the worlds affairs;
now that their conscience feels the
weight of heavier responsibilities,
now we may expect public life again
to attract our frst-rate men.
And if this proves to be the fact it
will be a benefit well worth the loss of
many precious lives.-NeaO York

Morley Warns US.

Chicago Inter Ccean:. The
United States has no better friend
among English statesmen than
John Morley. He has been a
close student of Our politics and
our literature, and he understands
our institutions and our people,
He disagrees with Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain as to the advisibllity
of an Anglo-Anierican alliance.
While insisting that ali English
men desire more intimate rela-
tions with the United States, Mr..
Morley holds it inconceivable
that there should be an alliance
between the two countries, not
for peace, but for menace and
war.
This is the keynote of the
question. Mr.. Chamberlain had
in mind All alliance that would
compel obedience to the allied
powrrs. The object Of the alli-
ance was to prevent the ascend
|iency of powers Hostile to Eng
land. That is what an alliance
would mean if it meant ar rything,
and at this point Mr.. Morley
|says:
know tens of thousands of the best
and wisest men in America believe
that hardly any more inexpressible
calamity can befall mankind than that
a acommunity, as Lincoln nobly said,
conceived in freedom and dedicated
to the happiness Of free and equal
men. should entangle themselves in
the unrest and intrigue Of miiitarism,
which are the torment and scourge OF
the old world.
This phase Of the question
seems to have escaped the con-
| lslderat1on OF the 1dealists IN this
this country who have favored an
Anglo-American alliance. Any
agreement that would give us the
support of England would give
England our support IN case Of
difficulty. 1t would involve us il
every war to which England was
a party. It would array against
us every nation jealous of or hos
tile to England. Il would put US
under obligations to fight Eng.
Hands battles as well as our own,
and England nearly always has .
war on hand.
! Do the American people realize
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1898-06-16

what an alliance with England
would mean in the way of in
trigue and militarism? The full
significance would come to them
when they saw American troops
march on transports for service
in Egypt or India, or South Africa
Of the Soudan. Would the peo-
pie cheer American troops en-
barking for campaigns againt the
Germans in China, against the
Russians on the Afghan frontier,
against the Dutch in the South
African republic, or in support of
the Turks in Armenia? And yet
we know that England is intrigu-
ing against the Germans IN China,
is fearing an invasion OF Afghan
istan by Russia, and IS n1enacing'
President Kruger in South Africa.
An alliance with England, Of
fensive and defensive, would have
prevented our interference, under
the Monroe doctrine, in Venezuela
and would hold our hands should
England find excuse for invasion
of Mexico. We are better situat-
ed as we are. 1t is better to have
the friendship of, England and
other European powers than to
count one our ally and all the
others our enemies.
