by the fine names of courage and
enterprise is now characterized by
other and less pleasant phrases. Fol
lowing the undertaking period came
the vogue of the so-caUed nonparti-
san magazine writer, who was invar-
iably a muckraker in disguise, and
usually a socialist. These self-styled
nOnpartisan writer's played Justify for
time upon the public credulity. and
for a time they were taken at their
word. There were those who believed
Lincoln, Steffens, Charles Edward
Russell and the rest of the tribe as
seriously-minded patriots. Now it is
coming universally to be understood
that these writer's are just sensation
alists of the new kind. without intel
lectual, moral or other foundations.
Every maniack of them is to the ex-
tent of his ability an iconoclast They
teach that the constitution is an out
worn instrument; that every prosper
GUS man is a thief; that everybody
and everything but "the people" are
wrong. They always define the peo-
ple' as themselves"

m HE question has been asked many times "why is
4 it not possible for city to furnish music in
city parks?"
II would that city the size of Wilmington,
with all its parks should have something besides she
land and trees to draw the public to those recreation
centres.
Thousands of dollars spent park roads for
the use of automobiles. Persons who we'll afford
to ride all the country demand those smooth
roads at the citys expense for their own use Such
roads fine to have, but they of the
hard working man and his family who are compelled
to walk
The parks are beautiful but what is there TO at
tract the working and his family into them after
week Of hard labor? II like folly to spend
thousands Of dollars parks then not one cent
to draw the people into them
Let city officials wake up to the fact that the
people want attraction in the parks besides the
and trees. Now is the time to make start Let
City Council provide music in the parks this Sum
mer, shifting the concerts from park TO park so that
almost all sections of our city will derive a fair
of benefit from the music.

IT is useless for Secretary Of the Navy Daniels to
set his views with respect to the efficiency and
sucenoy of the United States navy up against those
OF distinguished officers of that navy including Ad-
miral Fletcher. The American people will not accept
statements from who knows little about naval
affairs when those statements contradcted fatty
by naval experts It is the height Of folly for the Sec
rotary to think they will do One of those experts
has testified that our navy is in such condition at
the present time that it would require FIVE years to get
it in shape to meet the navy of any hrsclass maritime
Power in Europe.
Secretary Daniels says we have good warships and
good naval officers and men. When we consider the
millions Of dollars that have been spent our navy
It would be withering indictment our Federal Gov
ernment If that not true The trouble is that we
have enough Of them and that in addition there
many other things navy needs to bring it up
to recognized present-day sea-power standards The
thing about all that the things worst needed

Of serious trouble with any Power now possessed

know, the needs for national defense

EDITORIAL OPINION

this course as entirely reasonable may
well be imagined; the mischief is,
however, that the punishment, if car
ried out by England. would but avenge
England's wrongs. Now, what grieves
him is, as he explains, not merely
that the foreign secretary has he
trayed his own country" but that he
actually "lured Russia" into the perni-
cious enterprise of which the conse-
quences are now apparent.
All of which is very enlightening,
but grieyously inconsistent with the
opinion of Professor Won Machs inn
perial master, who in August last
delivered through Herr Ballin the fol-
lowing message for British consump-
lion: 1T must be stated again: Rus
sia alone forces the war upon Eu-
rope. Russia alone must carry the
full weight of responsibility" Great
Britain, by the way, had not declared
war when this notable utterance was
published. Let us therefore be pa
tient, it may yet be found that some
country not hitherto engaged is re-
sponsible for the Turing of Sir Ed
ward Grey.

The Gospel of Hale
CForm the Philadelphia Ledger)

Perhaps it is human nature, as
Tacitus said, to hate these whom we
have injured. But the feeling is not
one which either an individual or a
nation can afford to cherish. One of
the most distressing features of the
present war is the bitter enmity to-
ward England which is being delib-
erately cultivated in Germany. The
yindictive Hymn of Hate" has be-
come almost the national sons, and
Got strafe England" is now the most
familiar salutatiOn. This is sowing
the dragons teeth with a vengeance.
The worst Of it is that hate, like
jealousy, grows with what it feeds
on. 1t is said that Americans are
almost as obnoxious to Germans as
Englishmen. And there are daily evi-
dences OF similar antagcnism in this
country The German-Americans. as
they like TO call themselves, appar-
emily no longer care to live in peace
and amiiy with their neighbors They
regard the lack Of American sympa-
thy with German ideals of "kultur"
as personal slight, to be vigorously
resented.
There Is a striking illustration Of
this attitude in the letters which the
fublc Ledger constantly receives
from German-American readers
While its own convictions regarding
German responsibility for the war
and German military and diplomatic
methods have been freely and frankly
expressed, it has given album
dant space in its columns to presen-
tations Of the German point OF view.
II published in full, for example, the
pamphlet, Truth about Germany" !"
and more recently a long article by
General Won Bernhard. But it has
not published, nor does it propose to

THE WAR MAKERS.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
In one quality at least Professor
Edmund Won Mach surpasses his dis
tinguished rival Dr. Dernburg in
richness and exuberance of imagina-
tion. He has not only satisfied HIM
self that the war was brought about
by England's great mischief maker.
Sir Edward Grey, but is persuaded
that simple-minded France and i'll
fated Russia are of his own mind
and that their "hatred of the British
increases every day"
On Saturday night his enthusiasm
carried him even further, when he
conhded to his audience that Brit
ain Itself was turning against the
arch-conspirator: that recent Eng
lish estimates" were altogether in
accord with his own: nay. tina: some
sober thinkers in that country were

ed with abuse and that have no real
bearing upon the points at issue. II
regrets exceedingly rhat so many
communications of this kind are sent
to It. They reveal a condition OF
mind injurious to the writer's and
dangerous to the nation. They are
minor manifestations of a spirit
strikingly exhibited in "neu-
trality" mass-meetings and in the ac-
tivities of pro-German propaganda.
Love for Germany. even the desire to
defend her, right or wrong. is under
standable, perhaps pardonable, in
those of German birth or descent.
But hate, not only of her enemies,
but also of her critics. is neither un-
derstandable nor pardonable.
This is obviously a matter of more
than temporary consequence. If such
feelings were to end with the war, il
would be bad enough. But il is
against all human experience TO be-
lieve that this is possible. The pas
sions of men are much more easily
aroused than allayed There have been
conflicts among nations that eventu-
ally promoted a better understanding.
A generous foe may become a warm
friend But, as Hosea Biglow puts it,
Folks never understand the folks
they hate" The Germans in Europe
will have to live IN peace with their
neighbors some day, and the Germans
in the United States will have to be
on good terms with their fellow citi-
zens. II would oe the worst kind
