Truth Heard at Lake Mohonk.

Those citizens OF the United States who stead
lastly refuse to accept the doctrine that national
weakness is conducive to the national peace and
that adequate and efficient army and navy in
vite will be grateful to Secretary of War Gar
rison and to Admiral Chester, retired, for their
plain words OF warning uttered in the Lake Mo-
honk Conference International Arbitration.
Neither of these desires war. They realize its
horrors and sincerely desire to the nation re-
main at peace; but they know that peace is not
to be secured by going unarmed and constantly
apologzing doing nothing. Said Secretary Gar
rison:
We will be despised among the nations of the
earth and righteousness will not save US
from the aggressions of the unrightcous if we re-
main weak and habby. We must be ready to
make in order to keep the blessings of
peace. - HideouS is the face of war, alb
horrent are the evils consequent upon it, its
results in the long run cannot be SO fatal to a
nation would be the failure OF that nation to
courageousy and fearlessly ascertain its duty and
do it.
Coming from member of President Wilson 5
Cabinet this is severe blow at those who profess
to believe that because nation is a great nation.
a Christian nation and in measure isolated
nation, treaties and soft words will keep it safe
from the attacks of greed and aggression. That
the United States OF America with its 100000 900
people, extending a vast from one ocean
to another, would be of the blessing of peace
today its army and navy OF strength ade-
quate to its size and position as world power
is recognized by the very great majority of the
people. At their demand the nations fighting
forces will be made adequate in spite of the ad-
vocates Of peace at any price 1t has required the
present situation in Europe and the outrages COM
mitted against the country to arouse its people to
the position of danger into which they have been
led by those who preach that may go unarmed
in safety if adopt policy of yielding and
apologizing.
Even so peace-loving state,nan as Clifford
Pinchot has issued warning that if Germany de-
feats the allies the United States will be forced
to go to war, and there can be no shadow of
doubt that he is right. Would the small arma-
ment men watch and wait until the end of the
struggle in Europe and then. if Germany wins, be-
gin preparations for defense,
Never before has the peaceful gathering at
Lake Mohonk been forced to listen to such words
as those uttered by President Hibben, of Prince
ton University, Secretary Garrison and Admiral
Chester. The latter cited two instances in his
own experience in which the mobilization of our
feet kept the nation from war and urged the
mothers of the country to bring up their boys to
be "men and not molycoddles" No one doubts
for an instant that the Americans Of today are

When the time came for paying his
poll tax. So. that sum was demanded
of him. He wouldn't pay it. He said
he was only a boarder in the town and
that he wasn't an American citizen
anyway. The tax collector delivered
him over to the constable and the con-
stable put him into Northampton Jail.
There was no earthly way of getting
that man out except through the pay
ment of the poll tax. 1t was brought
to the attention of the executive coun-
Gil and we had many discussions about
it. We couldn't come to any conclu-
sion, yet we thought it was a shame to
keep that man in Jail. At last the wife
of the governor. who had been inform
ed of our discussion. suggested that
some one of us pay the tax. and the
governor said he would do it. He had
not thought OF that before. So the
money was sent on to the constable at
Amherst and the man was turned out
of the Northampton Jail quite as dis
gusted as Thoreau was when he by the
payment, through a friend, of his poll
tax was actually elected from the Con-
cord jail

HISTORY BUILDERS.
Going to Jail for a Principle.
Written Expressly for The Washington Herald.
BY DIR. f.. j. EDWARDS.

Tilly Hayes, who was the successful
proprietor of three hotels, one in Bos-
ton, one in Springfield and one in
New York. and who died in 1902, did
not confine his career or his expert
ences to the management of large
hotels. He was of influence as a pol
itician in Massachusetts. having
served several terms in the Legisla-
ture and having also been at one
time a member of the executive coun-
Gil of that State.
One afternoon. and a very hot after
noon at that. Mr.. Haynes took a seat
beside me in the lobby of one of his
hotels and was conspicuous, among
other things, because he wore a very
heavy wooden cap. That cap identified
him, for it was always on his head,
winter or summer. exactly as Com
modore Gerry was for years identified
by a fur cap which he Wore the year
round.
Mr.. Hayes, in the course of our chat.
happened to speak of Concord. Mass,
and of a sheriff or town constable
who was an exceedingly quaint char
acter.
/ said to Mr.. Hayes: II think that
is the very constable who put Thoreau
in Jail because the latter refused to
pay his poll tax. The constable Of
fered to lend Thoreau the money, but
I have heard that Thoreau indignant
ly refused to take 1t. Somebody did
pay the poll tax the next morning
and Thoreau, to his great disgust. was
let out of Jail with less ceremony
than he was put in"
That story is true" said Mr.
Haynes. land l can tell you another
somewhat similar which came under
my notice when I was a member or
the executive council. 1t is about a
man who was locked up in a North
ampton Jail because he would not pay
the poll tax"
LAS l remember the fact. the man
was not a citizen of the United States
For some reason he went from Canada
to Amherst. probably because he want
ed to be near the college. He had in
vented a new system Of stenosraphy
and he was preparing a book which
