The Wretched Business of
Working Up the War Spirit

The American people in spite of their
hard-headed business ability and prac-
ticality. are sentimental and emotional
and easily swayed by appeals to their
feelings.
Here is this country. removed from
danger by its natural position on
friendly terms with its northern neigh
Dor; lending a helping hand TO its south
ern neighbor: amicaby disposed toward
South America having no quarrel with
ANYBODY. being driven, through this
same emotionaism. into a state of fear
by crowd of jingoes who care for little
but their own profits.
Every argument and possibility which
can be fashioned by the human mind, is
being brought to bear; sown, broadcast,
through an unscrupulous press. Every
appeal of a maudlin nature is employed
to reach the affectional and patriotic
side of the masses.
Men are most clever and subtle in this
psychologist experiment, for it means
what to them is far greater than life
itself; the lining of their pockets with
gold-more gold; the source of all power
in America.
Lord Rosebery in his recent speech
said: al know of nothing more disheart-
ening than the announcement recently
made that the United States, the one
great country left in the world free from
the hideous. bloody burden of war-is
about to embark upon the building of a
huge armada destined to be equal or sec
ond to our own" and added that it could
only result in a continued burden upon
other nations which would increase eX-
actly in proportion to the fleet of the
Unied States.
1t is a sad and heart-breaking fact
that this country, which has stood for
liberty and freedom, whether it has ever
achieved them or not, is back-sliding;
allowing itself to be poisoned with this
destroying growth by handful of the
capitalist and militarist class which is
using the impressionable minds OF the
people as a hot-house for forcing to ma

"A Call to Introspection-
Not Preparation

Whether Senator burton is chosen as
the Republican standard bearer, the coun
try is to be congratulated that his voice
is being heard at this time in the discus
sion of public questions.
For the gun barrel does not spell selfish
opportunity to him any more than the
4 pork barrel did during his long career in
congress.
He uses the present emergent hour not
for call to arms, but as a summons to
q new birth of patriotism on the part of
his countrymen.
Senator Burton told the Detroit bank
ers Friday night that he rejoiced in
finitely more in what this nation had sent
to Europe of merciful ministrations and
succor than of munitions.
Our immunity from wars wastage and
woe should beget a finer conception of
nationalism, finding expression in more
active participation in public activities
and more just appraisal of the services
of those who serve us in political stations.
Education of the youth of America and
not compulsory military service was Sem
ator Burton's idea of national safeguard
for the future-a view in harmony with
that greater body of public opinion that
abominates war but is not vehemently vo-
cal just now.
Senator Burton discussed the political
and economic aftermath of the war not
rs partisan but as business man whose
habit it has been to think of public ques-
tons in national terms.
He refused to become an European
camp follower searching for pretexts for
heavy ornaments and high tariffs. All
consideration of the consequences of the
war with reference to our business and
political life, was largely conjectural, he
said.
Altogether, the Ohio statesman gave
the impression of poise and breadth,
man not to be stampeded by hysteria or
controlled by limited or selfish considera-
tions.
