There Is no place in scandal of this char

remembered that one has to have thing be

contention Is exactly that he has never been a

the evidence Of whether his certificate was
purchased through bribery, or whether 1t came

Nothing could better Illustrate the vicious

Washington OF his presence in method other
than that by which the Senate should preserve

"HOWIiNG PATRIOTS. 2"

some OF the most striking gerities are held
in The unconscious satire OF admiration. En-
tlusiasm. the adirete of adulatton, frequently
brings a stronger arraignment than Is possible
70 criticism or hatred save US from 0nr
friends" Is an injunction which We may all
pray be granted
Following the Colonel through New Jersey,
an evidently faithful scribe makes this allusion
10 his speech at Elizabeth "RooseSelt's sizzHns
speech came of the end OF day crowded
With stirring campaigning lie spoke TO a
crowd Of houlng patriots that packed the
armory
since when did patriotism commence 10 find
ITS expression in bowls? Yet who can doubt
that what the reporter considered patriotism
was exactly SO expressing Itself? Who eau
say that howl" IN this case is not exactly de-
scriptiye OF conditions or that the crowd did
rot respond in character to the appeal? Yes
these patriots howled They howlcd. as they
have been bowling, ali during the campaign
The apostle OF bowling vas in full cry. They
howled back and forth at one anothcr-.nos
to nose, growl TO growl check by JONI,
Set what q situation II is when a campaign
for the Presidency sounds like convention o.
coyotes fighting over the carcass OF steer.
What condition IL the country coming Ia
when it can best be said OF patriotism that ii
vents itself in howliugs? True it has been
urged with all the nsisteuce of the vehement
speech and the speeious argument of assertion
that it IS patriotic to vel. 1t Is patriotic to
rave, TO tesr the raw flesh with white teeth
to hunt in q pack, and pull down the victim BY
the haunch. Where it used 10 be the part OF
patriotism to think, and to plan and to study
the new gospel now seems 10 be 10 strange
and oyerpower and beat down,
The patriotism that howIs may. for a While
be the successful politics. 1t looks more and
more as IT this the case But the red
mob is never really patriotic, and murder of
men causes liz not and cannot hope to be of
any lasting or constructive value,
The bowling OF the Colonel has raised a pref
ty chorus of echoes. 1t raises the exact Issue
and makes 1t plain. It gives the country as a
whole the fair and square opportunity of re-
cordng its opinion AS to what is patriotism and
what IL the other thing. How is patriotism tc
