NEW OCCASIONS; NEW DUTIES.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Senator
Vardaman accuses the president OF
hypocrisy, Of basely yielding to the
militarists and abandoning demo-
cratic simplicity because he has re-
versed his position of a, year ago re-
garding the wisdom and necessity OF
great naval and military tdefenses
for this country. ~. sg- js:.y.3 ].
! The president would undoubtedly
plead guilty to all exceptAthe accu.
sation of hypocrisy and basepess. He
has reversed his position upon the
subject of, preparedness since a veal
ago. So have a majority of people in
this country. A year ago commercial
organizations were not passing reso'
buttons urging the increase of oul
naval and military .defenses. A veal
ago general church conferences and
synods were not, by resolutions ano
referendums, going on record in
earnest support of greater national
preparedness.
7 The president has kept step with
the nation-Vardaman and other
pacifist critics have not. The presi.
dent and the nation have kept alive
to the plain, unpleasant facts OF the
last 12 months -while the pacifists
have not. The president and the ma
ton are living in a real world and
dealing with human events-While
the pacifists are living in dream
world and dealing in theories.
