singing OF MY Country. 'Tis OF Thee"

main Idea OF his address. ''ls that you
are going to get peace by preparing
for war
The world.politics are fatally
wrong. Tor they have brought upon
MS the worst possible calamity In the
history OF the world. The race for
ornaments and the false notion ev-
erywhere that the good OF the Father
land demands the sacrifice are respon-
lble for this war,
No nation Is responsible. No
people of any nation wanted this war.
There is no individual responsible. for
there was no one powerful or mon

believing this, but honesty does not

Treaties viii Make Use Of
Cannon Unnecessary.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Peace Commission
treaties of the kind negotiated be-
tween the United States and many
foreign countries were spoken of by
President Wilson as the means for
shedding light on disputes which
will make the use of force unneces-
sary. The President predicted that
after international disputes have been
discussed for year, as provided in
these treaties. cannon will not be
found necessary to settle them.
The President addressed a mass
meeting in celebration of the seven
tieth anniversary of the Y. NJ. c. A,
movement and dwelt on the lessons
of Christianity, urging young men to
be progressive and work for the pub
lie welfare. The President pleaded
for homes with Christian atmospheres
saying that christianity is catch

1T would be good for men, both
young and old, to detach themselves
more from business and think of high

Incompetence Of the Demo-

Let II be fairly understood by all
that the Republican party and its rep
resentatiyes in congress did not stand
opposed to any financial move that
might be pressed upon the government
through the extraordinary condition
that exists In Europe. The war tax
were 1t in fact such, would be a
patriotic tax. But the spectacle OF
the country seeking TO raise hundred
million dollars in additional revenues
by means OF internal taxation. is one
that caused statesmen and economists
to issue their challenge and that
should cause the general citizen to
reflect upon the outcome OF Democrat.

they see that this must eventually be

FAILS TO CONVINCE.
Defects in President Wilson's
Letter to Underwood.
Chief Executive Claims Too Much, In
View Of Prosaic Facts Which He
Seems to Have Ignored
Tho Reality.

President Wilson, In his letter to
Underwood. attempted something new.
1t is claim all" production, but 1t is
poetic, not crude, melodrama. Mr..
Wilson is actually lyrical in his praise
of congress and his own modest CO.
operation with that august body. He
is filled with wonder and amazement
and he forgets in his exuberance that
other views are possible-nay, are ac-
tually held and expressed.
The tariff? 1t "cut away jungle"
emancipated industry, undermined
and blew up rascally monopolies
The Clayton antitrust act? 1t cuts
off monopoly at the roots; 1t does JUS
tice to labor; it restores competition;
it is clear and sufficient" to Danish
all our fears and dangers from trusts
and would-be trusts.
The banking and currency act? 1t
has created democracy of credit;
it has mobilized the resources of the
country; 1t has made the farmer in
dependent; 1t has done away with the
need OF rural credit legislation.
But what are the prosaic facts? =?
Who knows what the Clayton act
means and what it will do? 1t is an
omnibus act. carry-all: twenty years
hence we may know what it signifies
to industry and business, or to labor
and capital. The banking act is not
yet a reality; the new system may
result in serious imitation, according to
some bankers; amendments already
have been demanded by experts; the
success of the act will depend largely
on its administration.
To admit all this is to stick to plain
prose, to political fact. If Mr.. Wilson
had said in effect: I'VE have done our
best; our program is, however, unfin-
ished, and we ask for another Demo
cratic congress to complete our work,
believing 1t Ito be good on the whole,
and believing also that time will vim
dicate us" he would have remained
within the bounds of legitimate parti-
san politics.
But poetic flights, glowing rhetoric
and naive ignoring of honest. earnest
opposition, of questionings. doubts.
misgivings and dangers. make a
strange impression under White
House letterhead. Is such childlike
simplicity possible. and can 1t coexist
with intellect and maturity?
The Wilson letter is not politics; 1t
is public literature utterly divorced
from reality.
