size of our army is less than that
of anv of the So called seven Pow
ers of the first class. In numbers
we have one sixteenth Of the pop
ulation of the world; but one-tl1ird
of the wealth Of the world is ours.
This wealth has come through
the peaceful industry of our peo-
pie. not through the destructive
ability of our army.
Yet u per cent of the govern
ment revenue of the United States
goes for war. war purposes and the
results of war. and only 2S per cent
is used for furthering the arts, the
sciences and commerce
Ninety-six Of our farmers out OF
hundred founder to market
through almost impossible mud
during certain seasons of the year,
but all the time we are building
dreadnoughts and recruiting men
to man them.
Arrangements are now under way
for an International Congress Of
the Nations. The first session is
to be held in San Francisco in 1915,
when plans will be effected for the
permanence of the congress.
1t will be made up OF 100 of the
very best and strongest men in the
d. world. And its membership will be
so distinguished that any individual
who is nominated can not afford to
decline to serve.
The first intent Of the congress is
to bring about a federation of the
twelve great Powers, to the end
that disarmament shall follow.
Today we have generated a world
spirit, and 1t only remains to give
the world spirit a voice, through an
international congress, to make 1t
effective as a counsellor and con-
ciliator
In 1899 we rushed to war with
Spain to right wrong. An inter
national congress that could have
turned a cosmic megaphone on
Spain would have caused her to
right her wrong herself. Our in
reference was meddlesome, costly
and in great degree ineffective.
When great commercial institu-
tions can eliminate competition
and get together on a community
of-interest basis. and one institu-

of doing business through a hun

TIME modern nation is a totally
different thing from the an
clent empire or the medieval
monarchy.
The idea OF the king or monarch
was that he was the viceroy of
Deity. This kind brooked no rivals.
The interests or rights of other ma
tions we're never considered;
neither were the rights of indi-
viduals
The court OF the king was a 5
splendid as ne could make it, and
his palace as sumptuous as he
could afford. The limit of his mag
nificence was his ability to tax the
people, and the extent of his power
was his ability to subiugate. An
army of trained lighting men, ready
10 use at any moment, was needed.
First. he must be able to sup
press any possible revolt at home.
Second. he must at all times re-
veal glamour and splendor that
would excite both the adulation and
the fear of his subjects
Third, he must be able to fight
off a foreign foe.
Fourth. he must be able to take
advantage of any opportunity that
might occur to acquire new terri
tory should any rival kingdom re-
veal a weakness.
TODAY, the strength. prosperity
and perpetuity Of a nation does not
turn on it's ability to fight, but on
its ability to render a service to
other nations.
1t is productive skill that counts,
not destructive ability.
The army of the modern state Is
a medieval appendenda vermifor-
mis- 1t is the most costly and flu
tile item In the government over
head" the most dangerous thing
in point of national health-and the
chief cause for dread as disturber
of our national peace
Nations today are interdepend
ent. Each one fulfills certain
economic purpose. Permanent
prosperity for all nations turns on
permanent peace.
Our solicitude is for the happi-
ness and prosperity of the indi
vidual. not the ambition of the So
called rulers.
And happiness. health and pros
perity for individuals demand dis
armament.

wealth, leads all nations. Yet the

mans responsibility for his uttered
word. And in general, as human
relations become more delicate and
intricate in their adjustment, words
acquire a prodigious power to hurt
or help.
It might be safe to set down the
rule, Professionally, that it should be
lawful for man to propose and
recommend by speech and print the
doing of anything that it is lawful
to do. Thus it should, of course, be
crime to advise the commission
of a crime.
And ii should be unlawful to use
words in such a manner as tends to
subvert the meaning and purpose
Of the law.
But such precepts need to be
pressed closer home before they
can amount to much as working
principles
We need to clear our minds as to
what is the genius and spirit Of
modern law before we can Judge
what kind OF speech should be con-
demned as libellous or against pub
lie policy.
Now the actual social order in
America is industrial and is based
on property rights.
This is a working society and its
master aim is to put the people in
possession of the materials of ex-
istence. This aim is not to he
thought Of as necessarily sordid.
for the process Of earth subdual
and material production is seen to
involve the fine goods Of art and
all the spiritual issues. Therefore.
1t is not and should not be lawful
IN America for man TO use his
tongue or pen to destroy rights of
property so far as they are genuine
and legitimate rights.
Speech and the press can not b.
too free or too bold in attacking
ostensible property rights that are
not authentic.
The whole battle for freedom Of
utterance is likely to be waged
around the question of the authen-
ticity of certain contestible prop-
erty rights.
When the battle is over We shall
probably settle down to the general
conviction that property is inviola-
Bile, whatever it's amount in the
hands of an individual, so long as
the manner Of its use and tenure
tends 10 diffuse property through
out the whole community. and that
otherwise it has no legitimacy.

everybody else rich. But If his
riches make the community poor he

IF newspaper men were subject
to governmental prosecution
and possible Imprisonment for
every honest mistake they might
make in their criticism of an ad-
ministration, the government would
soon cease to be democratic.
Few journalists would be found
to take the inevitable chances of
error and of the failure OF their
witnesses. The lure of the finan-
cial and social rewards of the news
paper business would lie altogether
on the side of studied sycophancy
In the praise and promotion of the
polltical pawns as they exist, and
the money pawns that stand back
of them.
There would be but short run
back to that political absolutism-
that worship of power in spite Of
every defect Of title-from which
modern society has so painfully
emerged.
Shall we say, then. that the thing
to do is to declare for absolute
freedom of speech and print, and
to go abroad through the land stir

Now. this freedom to say any
