Why Preparedness Without
Private Profits?

If the Secretary of the Navy has his
way and brings about the government
ownership of every element relating
to armament, in connection with our
new hysteria, preparedness, it is quite
possible that the nervous disease Will
subside and the patient become normal
and able to attend to his ordinary daily
duties. For this disease has come about
through excitement, brought on by fear,
fomented by the very people who would
have no interest in the government be-
coming owner of the mines and all that
pertains to the making of the equipment
for that most inexcusable barbarity of
earth-War.
Now if those brazen-throated ones,
who have taken upon themselves the
easy task of working upon the highly
feminine emotional susceptibilities of the
patient, find that the government means
to take over the practical part of the
proposition and the bottom has fallen out
of the golden horn of plenty, as far 'as
they are concerned, they may stop their
righteous call to arms and subside into
a hurt and sullen silence. In which case,
as we have said, the big patient now in
the spasms of uncertainty, may grow
quiet and resume his usual course of life,
rejoicing and in his right mind.

Unusual to See a Little Life
Appraised So Highly

1t would seem that the people are more
stirred by the death of a mal-formed, de
fective baby in the United States thar
fby the deaths of 100000 of men il
one year of the European war.
The first involves, to their minds, q
principle (that of preserving life for
good or ill) which has been for genera
tons bred in their bones. Yet capital
punishment is allowed to exist in many
states, even though some of its victims
are never proven guilty, beyond doubt,
and may be as innocent as the unfortu-
nate babe.
AS for war, they are convinced that
the wholesale slaughter of men by the
most inhuman means, is a thing to be
expected; part of the program of life and
even has splendid, glorious side, no
matter what the cause of the war may
be.
The American people can also view
with equanimity the industrial conditions
Of their country which allow hundreds or
thousands of people to die annually from
insufficient food, bad housing and the
numerous unsanitary surroundings
which come from poverty.
They accept with more or less COM
placency the running of hundreds of their
youth through resorts of vice, run solely
for commercial profits; the absolute de-
struction of thousands of their men
through drink; the oppression of woman
By Withholding from her voice in the
government and giving to her lower
wages and longer hours for the same
work as men, equally well performed.
They endure without protest, the
squeezing of the life blood of the masses
through exorbitant taxation brought
about by inefficient management and
graft by public officials; all these things
Tail to stir them.
But let one poor, human mite be al
lowed to die for its own good, and the
American conscience is aroused. Our
duty toward man and God becomes &C
lively charged with some sort of emo
ton hard to describe
The thousands of babes that have died
IN Europe have failed to impress us. The
hungry children here do not disturb us
much; but doctor and mother standing
quiescent while the spark of life goes out

be picture too poignant for the Amer
lean Imagination to pass over.

viding in this curious American con-
science begins; whittier it is tending and
where it will end?
