For These We Are
Unfeignedly Thankful

Preparedness is pronounced trippingly
upon the tongue of those whose abhor-
renee of war is swallowed up in the con-
temptation of its pecuniary and political
advantages. But the United States has
not yet abandoned its blessed immunity
from the frightful plague of militarism
to embrace the Old World barbarity and
hypocrisy. Congress is to go deep into
what is back of this sudden clamor for a
country upon war footing and what Is
before us in the form of unprecedented
expenditures if we yield to this clamor.
Preparedness is an agitation as yet-not
an actually.
For this, and all other blessings, we
should be unfeignedly thankful.
We have been considering churches
and ministers rather freely and bluntly
in these columns of late; not hesitating
to touch upon some of their delinquencies
and incapacities-notu nsympathetically
but to hold the chiefest of our instru-
mentalities for good true to their trans
cendent mission. This doesn't imply for
q minute that The Times seeks to depre-
ciate any one faith to exalt another or
that it has lowered it's banner-"For the
Z Church, the School and the Home"
Whatever its faults of machinery or mis-
takes of methods OF errors of omission,
the church and those who serve in it con-
N stitute the greatest force of conserva-
ton, Interpretation and regeneration of
the age, and as such deserve the unfag-
ging support of the press.
For this and all other blessings we
should be unfeignedly thankful.
This has been a bloody year on the
streets of this dynamic city. We have
not been our brothers keeper in the
sense of safeguarding his going and COM
ing in the community. Old and young
have paid the penalty of Detroit's mar
\ velous ongoifg and the increasing reck-
lessness and carelessness of those who
use its streets. But the leading organi-
cation of motorists have imposed upon
themselves restraint and vigilance to
/. correct the slaughterous record of the
4 year; the safety first" council is moving
to form and finance public safety COM
mission; the police department is enforc-
ing traffic rules with reference to park
I ing in the down town district; and an
ordinance is pending to compel automo-
bilists to stop when the street car ahead
stops, which will have the effect of de-
fiecting machines to less congested
streets.
For this and all other blessings we
should be unfeignedly thankful.
Too much laxity has been tolerated in
