EnoLAmp,s WEAKNESS

A story is told of Captain who
was putting his raw recruits
through moral and military
catechism. To one of the enlisted
ones he said: Nov. my man, why
should a private soldier be willing
to die for his country?" Evidently
the Captains preachment on the
duty and glory of patriotism had
failed to make an impression on
this individual. for he answered
with smile: You're right, Cap
tain. why should hep"
Something of this mans skep-
ticism seems to pervade. Merrie
England, judging from the reports
OF the reluctance of the English
masses to enlist for the war. One
story goes that. at a football game
where recruiting sergeant ex-
pected to enlist a large number of
the $4,000 spectators to fight for
king and country, not one recruit
was secured.
If. as this condition would seem
to indicate. English patriotism is
at a low ebb. reason may not be
hard to find. In SPITE of it's OUT
ward semblance of democracy. the
government of England has much
to answer for to the masses of its
people.
Richard Golden said that there
was no civilized country in the
world where the peasantry were
so greatly divorced from the land
as in England. The title to most
OF it rests in the nobility. Lord
Roseberry's estate comprises 49,
600 acres. Estates of 10000 to
10000 acres are not uncommon.
There is one in Scotland of more
than 100000 acres. With these
vast holdings in the hands of a
few. the great majority of the
common people own nothing and
are without hope of ever owning
anything.
The lords of England ought not
to be surprised at lack of pa
triOtic feIvOr among the landless
masses. my country" can't mean
much to people who don't own a
foot of it's soil. Why should they
go forth willingly to die for the
preservation of Lord Somebody's
magnificent estate?

sv,Lo,no 4 NATION

The perversity of the Mexican
factions. which seem to be happy
only when they are flying at each
others throats. leads many good
people to despair that the cOun-
try will ever be at complete peace.
History shows. however. that con-
cord and unity are attainable out
y OF the most chaotic conditions.
The Balkan states, after many
years OF wrangling among them
selves. got together to end Turk
ish oppression, and. ACCOMPLISHED
their purpose. Then they fell to
lighting each other again. much
as the Mexican revolutionists are
now doing after OUTING Huerta.
But now we see the Balkan
states again united against their
old foe. and the wrangling Mexi-
can COnstitutionalists have mott
near as much to forget and for
|'give as Servia. Greece and Bull
garia had to put behind them 81
again act in harmony.
But we don't have to go to the
other side of the world to find ex-I
amples paralleling the Mexican|
situation. After eight wears Of he
roic struggle and sacrifice. the
American colonies in 1881
achieved their independence oil
Great Britain. When they had Sc
cured this priceless boon theyl
promptly fell to bickeri~~ among
themselves and for years it SEEM
ed as if their united victory would
be thrown away. But. after six
years of discussion. dissension|
and almost dissolution. the Unit
ed States government was estab-
lished. Yet not until three quar-
tiers of century more had pass
ed and our great Civil War had
finally settled all differences. did
this nation really become united
strong and stable government.
The Mexicans must work out
their own salvation. and there is |
no reason to doubt that they will
work it out finally to a satisfac-
tory conclusion. AS neighbors and
we'll wishers we should. and will.
extend them our moral support in |
every step toward the establish
ment of law, order and Justice. but :,
there our duty ends. We are notI
divinely appointed regulators orl
paciflcers of any other nation. Wei
shall attend strictly to our OWnl
knitting and leave the Mexicans to-
attend to theirs, so long as .theyl
do not interfere with our iustl
rights.
