The Path TOUQ1d Treason
az DAVID STARR JORDAN.
Chancellor Of Leland Stanford, Junior, University.

son is always eager for material; but
we may keep in mind the policy avow'
ed in 1912 by General Won Bernhard
as follows:
Measures must be taken to the ex'
tent at least Of providing that the Ger
man element Is not split up IN the
world, but remains united in compact
blocks, and thus forms even in foreign
countries, political centers of gravity
in our favor, markets for our exports
and centers for the diffusion OF German
culture"
In the propaganda OF German senti-
ment these groups are within their
rights. Should, however, 1t be part OF
the plan to stir up differences between
the United States and other nations, 1t
may be necessary for us to inquire
sharply where European citizenship
leaves of and citizenship In America
begins.
We must not forget that madness Is
infectious; that the fury Of the old
world induces hysteria in the new.
Hence the insistent need for patience,
deliberation and consideration IN all
our international affairs. For US to
lose our balance for an instant may be
to throw away everything, as Europe
has already shown.
If we can establish any guiding prin-
ciple in these matters, 1t ought to De
this: Belligerents have no rights That
neutrals are bound to respect. me
right of way belongs to the law abld-
ing. But practically we cannot enforce
this rule, and the problem reduces IT.
self to this: Let the belligerents seize,
condemn. do whatever they dare; pro-
test against their meddling, make up
the case for The Hague and bear the
infections insensate war imposes on
us with as good grace as we can. Never
think of striking back; never talk OF
resentment; feed the starving; bind up
the wounds of the mangled and lay up
treasures in Europe and in heaven as
well. It is for us to speak, when we
must, in terms of peace. What our
grievances, if any, may be some future
tribunal may determine.

WILSON'S IDEA OF NEUTRALITY.
President Wilson, in an address at
the annual luncheon of The Associated
Press in New York yesterday after
noon, gave definite statement OF his
idea of true neutrality and of the
duties that devolve on America in
connection with the European war.
The president declared that the neu-
trality Of the United States was not .
petty desire to keep out of trouble,
because there was something so much
greater to do than fight. A great dis
tinction, he said, was coming to the
United States-the distinction of ma
ton of self-control and self-mastery.
He said such nation was bound to
play an important part in adjusting
the affairs of the world, once the fight
ing is ended.
1--WE have no hampering ambitions"
he declared. 1--WE do not want foot
OF anybody's territory. Isn't such
nation bound to be free to serve the
other nations?'

In the present juncture 1t is vitality
necessary that we of the United States
should keep out Of the quicksands into
which Europe is slipping and must not
become blind partisans Of any nation
or nations, the real questions at issue
being those of right and wrong. 1t Is
not in the interest of our nation as a
whole that any citizen or group Of citi-
zens should try to break our attitude
Of strictest neutrality. In that direc-
ton lies the path toward treason.
The vast majority of our people, we
believe uphold the president in his
maintenance of rigid neutrality. The
same majority condemns, for the most
part, the attack on Belgium and the
array of ex post facto pleas by which
this attack has been explained or JUS
titled. We cannot listen to word quib-
bles in face Of obvious facts. We rec
ognize that in these matters our heads
stand in some danger from our hearts.
Our neutrality, based on common sense
and political wisdom, may be at the
mercy Of our emotions.
It Is certainly true that some OF our
people would 60 into this war, through
sympathy with Belgium or with
France. Those who are so minded are
bound by no ties of blood or citizenship
to the Allies; they have no official con-
nection with any of their governments,
and, so far as we know, they have no
common purpose or agreement among
themselves. Their feeling is that Of
the knight Errant; but for knight err
rantry by force of arms across the sea
our nation has little fitness. We may
help the suffering laying up treasure
in Europe as in heaven - but dem
ocracy is form of government adapt
ed for Winding its own business.
There is another group, perhaps not
larger but more vociferous- which
wishes at every hand to antagonize
England whenever any British action
is questioned. We are met by the ef-
fort to widen the difference, to give it
Importance and to force
the idea of armed resentment into the
OF discussion.

Devorick was born In johnson coun-

made entry. His remains with those
OF the other young men who were kill

to the home Of his foster parents, Mr..
and Mrs. A. j. G.. Bailey near Blakes-
burg for burial on Thursday, May IA,

"A silent tribute to the young mans
memory was paid by Ottumwa on the
day before and the day of the funeral
when all Of the public and many other
buildings about the city doated old

REAL TREASON.

Tuesday at the annual meeting OF
the Associated Press in New York,
President Wilson again outlined his
policy of absolute neutrality in the
great European struggle. He con-
tended that it is our duty and to our
best interests to keep entirely out of
the fray. David Starr Jordan, chan
cellor Of Leland Stanford, Jr., uni
versity, goes little bit further and
holds that it is treason for any Ameri-
can to talk or act in way calculated
to draw this nation into the war. The
great educator has written an article
along this line as one of the series
of feature editorials appearing in The
Courier and it is on this page today.
Read it and see how it accords with
your ideas of neutrality.

TO FIGHT EPIDEMics.

Uncle Sam has appropriated $27,551,-
1872 for agriculture, for the coming
fiscal years operations by govern
mental agencies, according to a tabula-
ton issued by the department of agri-
culture.
OF this sum the most significant
item is the s2,5O0,OO0 set aside for use
in stamping out the foot and mouth
disease, rinderpost. or other con-
tagious or infectious diseases Of do
nestle animals, when emergency may
arise. The bureau of animal industry
gets $265,51O more than for the cur.
rent year. Of this amount, $235,OOO is
credited to the fight against hog chol-
era and dourine, $4,000 to poultry in
vestigations, $4,000 for tick eradica-
ton in the south, and $1,000 for gen.
eral work in animal husbandry.

NAVAL WEAKNESS,

The terrible calamity that befell
Belgium despite that nations desire to
remain at peace with its neighbors,
has done much toward waking up
Americans to point where they won
der as to the efficiency and sufficiency
Of this country's defenses at land and
at sea. Those who decry building up
of the army and navy as steps toward
"militariasm" have assured the coun-
try that this nation Is sufflciency we'll
protected. The cabinet members of
the peace-at-any-cost Wilson admins
tration, have loudly proclaimed the ef-
lciency OF the army and navy regard
less Of it's sufficiency. But those who
believe that the national defenses are
neither efficient nor sufficient have
not been quoted by assurances from
the cabinet. The following from the
Army and Navy Journal gives an idea
OF what the opponents Of bigger navy
and stronger army are saying:
Representative A. p. Gardner of
Massachusetts, was a speaker before
on the evening of March IS. A special
dispatch to the New York Herald says
he spoke on the navy, and, among
other things, said: President Wilson
in his message to congress said that
the country had been misinformed as
to the state Of our national defense.
The president Is absolutely right. Sec
rotary Daniels has misinformed the
country. The statement has been
made by the administration that all
the material facts as to our forces are
available to the public. That is not
the fact. Not only is a great deal of
significant matter absolutely refused
to legitimate inquiries, but much more
which ought to be published Is with
held unless some investigator gets
track of it and demands that it be
produced. Any day you can step into
the outside of theater lobby and see
written in large letters over the sigma
ture of the secretary the declaration
that Man for man and ship for ship
our navy equals the world That is
not true. The training of the men of
the navy has greatly deteriorated I'M
der Secretary Daniels, as it would be
certain to do under secretary of his
temperament. At the very time that
the secretary was declaring that our
navy, ship for ship, was as good as
other navies, he was penning a rebuke
to Captain Stirling for criticising the
state of the submarine fotilla of the
Atlantic fleet This rebuke would
never have been brought to light had
1t not been that newspaper revealed
the shocking situation which existed
when Admiral Fletcher last November
tried to mobilize the Atlantic fleet I'M

pYEsrUFFs NEEDED.

A delegation OF textile manuractur-
ers recently appraised officials OF the
administration that unless arrange
ments were made with the belligerent
powers of Europe for the shipment of
dyestsuffs from Germany to the Uni
ted States, it would mean the throw
ing out of employment of some 100000
men in the course of the next thirty
to sixty days. The American Econ
omist in commenting upon this situa-
ton, states that by simply establishing
proper tariff protection, manufacturing
of dyestuffs in this country could be
built UP to an extent that will make
this country independent of Germany
Tor its dyes.
To prove this contention the Amer
lean Economist tells of the expert
ences Of the tin plate and silk indus
tries of this country. Some years ago
at time when tin plate was bought
almost or quite exclusively in foreign
countries, it was proposed to put a
prote ctive tariff on imports in order to
encourage home manufacture of the
product. The usual arguments pro and
con were heard and. then congress de-
cided for protection. The result is
featuring plants scattered all over the
country, giving employment to thou
sands of people and rendering efficient
service to various other industries, the
while making this country independ-
ent of outside tin plate.
The silk industry went through like
experience. Thirty-five years ago the
silk manufacturers of the United
States had an output each year of
about 41,0O0,O0O. Then came>a pro-
tective policy and since 1880 the out
put of American silk factories has in
creased to upwards of $200,000,0O0
each year.
The perfecting of American dye
stuffs to point where they could sup
plant the German product, is prob
lem that would of course have to be
met. But there is little question but
what American inventors would de-
liver the goods The secretary Of the
interior recently announced that
chemist connected with the depart
ment had discovered a process for
manufacturing dyestuffs. When gov
eminent officials applied for patent
on the discovery, 1t was found that ap-
plications for patents on similar inven-
tons were already on file. There is
no doubt that American tnventiveness
has already, or soon will have discov-
cred way of perfecting the manu-
facture of dyestuffs in this country.
But it is likewise just as sure that
without protection, there will be no
building up of dyestuffs industry in
this country.
