Columbus, O.-On down the corridor
of time has come that bold, defiant,
fearless declaration of Patrick Henry,
Give me liberty or give me death"
and 1t has aroused from inaction to
militancy thousands of men who be-
fore had been reconciled to the futility
of fighting the world; who now, thrill

and say one had best be dead than live
shorn of constitutional rights and priv
ileges.
Back from a period OF 1000 years,
freighted with the fragrance OF peace,
something divinelike whispers to us,
Blessed are the meek, for they shall

envelop us we hesitate between ag-
gressive force and patient submission,
wondering all the while II the promise
will be fulfilled, doubling II the red
corpuscles Of ourageousness should

Feeling Dangerous.
Everywhere Is heard the demand that
this country take advantage Of the war,
of the crippled condition OF other ra-
tions. to reach out for more trade and
commerce and to expand Its business.
Some members of Congress there are
who perceive that this cannot be done
without incurr.ng rivalries. jealous. cs,
and deep antagonlsms.
Congressman Towner. Of Iowa. in a
recent speech dwelt to some extent on
this phase Of Americas internationa
relations He told Of the growth Of The
export business as a result Of the war.
he spoke of the danger this country
stands Of becoming involved In trouble.
he said the source OF greatest danger
was that In reaching out eagerly for
trade and commerce demands were
pressed on the belligerent countries too
far. ne admonished the country that II
could afford to endure much rather than

nothing less than insult to the dignity
and honor of the land should war be
contemplated.

CONGRESS TO CLOSE.
WITH ITS FOREIGN
PROBLEM UNSOLvED
Members Still in Profound
State Of Uncertainty Over
Situation.

Congress will close the present
session with the members in a
state of profound uncertainty over
the international situation They
do not attempt to conceal their
apprehension over conditions, and
their fear that this country, in
spite Of the utmost efforts to pre-
serve peace and neutrality, may
be drawn into the war.
Talk OF this sort has been re-
stricted for the most part in Sem
ate and House. Little jingoism
has been heard. In a number of
speeches the feeling that there is
danger in the international situa-
ton has been voiced, but there has
a. a rule been an absence Of chau-
viniSm about it.
/. REMARKS ADMONlTORY.
: Remarks have been adnonitory rath-
er than otherwise. Undoubtedly this is
largely due TO the belief that this Is a
poor time for iingoism. a poor time to
put matter INTO the Congressional Rec
ord which is calculated to increase
abroad the antagonism which a neutral!
CONrae and other causes have created
gsCongres has done little this session to
Increase the prepai edness of the coun-
try In a military and naval way. The
democratic leaders have sat down on
add tional preparedness. chiefly on tho
, lea of need for economy. The Gard
nsr resolution in the House and the
Lodge resolution In the Senate for an
jpvestigation into the preparedness Of
the country have been successfully
sduelched
awakening in Congress on military and
naval matters. Tone of utterances. on
the floor and in private. indicates clear
ly there Is growing feeling that this
country must look more sharply to its
military fitness.
Scarcely a day has gone by for weeks
that this feeling has not been reflected
In one way or another. 1t Is not parti-
san. Should an extra session be held.
there is no question that the movement

disclose that 1t has powerful impetus.
