TO WHOM SHALL | Be TRUE?
There Comes Time In The Life Of Every When He MUS
Choose Between Loyalties

President Of Western Reserve University
President Of Western Reserve University

In the Illustration Of the reported
PROLONGED consideration Of Robert
f. Lea in 1861 of his duties 10 his
own Virginia, or TO the General
Government. Perhaps the most
difficult adjustment is found 10 lie
between the loyalty Of ones own
political party or social fellowship
and the obedience he owes 10 his
own conscience. The duty which
one owes. too, % ones country
may seem 10 come into conflict
with that which one owes 10 tho
whole world. AS distinguished
hioGrapher and essayist Thayer
has said. we should love our
country and should be prepared
10 sacrifice orr lives at the call OF
patriotism: but never shold this
love mislead us into thinking that
ours is the only country, or the
hest"
In deciding between the diverse
claims OF such loyallies, one may
find help in various ways: First,
one should seek 10 know all the
facts and give 10 these facts, all
and each. a most judicial inter-
probation. He is 10 sec things
Sanely and 20 see them whole.
Second. in making an interpreted
ton, in the weighing Of evidence
for a conclusion, other things be-
ing equal. one should give prefer
ence TO the. larger group as being
worlhier Of his allegiance. Third,
having reached a conclusion re-
garding his duty. or his rights,
one should hold, without wavering
and without anxiety, TO his con.
clusiOn.

THE MERCHANT MARINE.

just al time when all need for
the bill seems TO cease, We are to4o
that the administration shipping Dill
has been shaped up and may be passed
through both houses OF Congress.
Whatever real urgency there was
for the creation OF a governments
owned line Of American commerce

The bureau OF navigation informs W.
that at the present time American
merchantmen registered for ocean
service equal 100000 tons. or more
than double the tonnage before the

construction in American shipyards
3S5 steel ships, or tonnage OF J.
225,7S4 tons. This is more than the
greatest German construction IN any
one year, and is surpassed BY only
one year OF English construction.
Under the ship registry act OF IVA
there was added 10 cur register lSt

the government going into this busi-
pness as competitor against them:
II further ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF the Amer
lean merchant marine is necessary,
that encouragement can be furnished
by wise legislation that vii! give a

will lessen his charges Of operation.
The government has no more moral
right to enter into the business or

The freakish inconsistency Of men
who deny 10 legitimate industry al

ond to thrust the government into a
business enterprise competing with
its own citizens. IS hardly capableso of
