The survival of the fttest is the law
Of life 1t is the widely recognized
and universally acknowledged fact in
the history of the world. 1t is the basic
argument for preparedness.
1t is impossible to cope with the
claws of the tiger, the poison of the
reptile or the horns of wild bull with
courts of arbitration. When going
through the jungle it is we'll to be
equipped with something more than
gentle spirit and a generous heart.
So long as nations are willing to
PLAY the part Of wild beasts, wear
horns and bite with sharp teeth, it is
fitting that a peace-loving people
should recognize the kind of a world
they are in and be prepared to defend
their peace.
What a pretty idea it is to give the
mouse it's liberty in the presence of
purring pussy.
The unprepared are snuffed out. The
prepared are the fit. The fit triumph.
Education is nothing but prepared

that he may be prepared. 1t is the
nations unprepared that find the
shortcut to the cemetery, the reform
atory and the almshOuse.
We learn that we may protect our
selves. The boy who is best prepared
for the contest of life is the boy who
gets ahead.
1t is the boy who has studied nights
that he may see something ahead of
the days duty before him who wins
the coveted promotion. He is pre-
pared.
We are forced to prepare against the
elements. The houses we live in are
evidence of preparedness. We put
furnace in the cellar in pursuance
of the policy of preparedness.
We gather the food when there is
food to gather that we may have food
when the fields are barren.
We do not doubt the love and pro-
lection of the All-Father when we run
the lightning rods upon our house or
build a drain. We merely recognize
the fact that he has given us our part
to play, our duty to do in making the
world better for his children.
Because He also put the cobra on
this earth we do not propose to sur
render to it our right to live.
We will give the cobra his territory

OUR RIGHTS ABROAD

here at home. In our most orderly
communities and in times of the most
profound peace and prosperity much
must depend upon the sagacity and
good sense of the individual citizen
for his comfort and safety. In for
eign lands under the most favorable
conditions the individual citizen must
look even more to himself for his own
protection.
OF course a hue and cry is raised
whenever an American is insulted in
a foreign land, or his property seized
or destroyed, and the government is
called upon to interest itself immed-
lately, even to the extent of declaring
war. Instances may be imagined in
which the mistreatment of an indi-
vidual or the seizure of dollars
worth of property would be ample
justification for an ultimatum, in fact,
failure to issue an ultimatum would
be an act of national poltroonery. On
the other hand, a hundred Americans
might be mistreated and millions of
dollars be put in Jeopardy under con-
ditions to justify not at all embroil-
ing the whole people.
But whatever the merits OF any in
dividual case, it must be recognized
that no government can undertake an
ideal enforcement of abstract rights.
The best any community can do is to
approximate justice and security and
order. And the individual must be
held in sane public opinion RESPONSE
BILE for the exercise of a sound dis
erection even then. The American gov
eminent cannot do for it's citizens
abroad what it's state and municipal
governments cannot do for them at
home. All debate that starts out on
any other nation will prove futile de-
bate.

Growing discomfort has been mani
tested in America during the last few
months. 1t has taken different forms,
but the net effect Of it has been to cen
ter a great amount of criticism on the
President. If all the complaints were
drawn up in list we should find that
pacifists, militarists, radicals, consery-
atives, friends of the Allies, German
Americans, aggressive Americans"
nationalists and internatiOnalists were
all in varying ways disgruntled. They
disagree violently among themselves,
to be sure they are suriously agreed in
not liking the party played by Ameri-
la in the war. The sense that we have
found wanting has impressed itself
among an increasing number of peo-
pie.
More feel it, 1 imagine, than are
ready to confess it. Many feel it who
resent bitterly the reimbursement of
those who go to Europe to proclaim
the sordid cOwardice of Americans at
home. Many feel it who detest the
snobbery of those Americans who en-
terrain foreign visitors by telling them
what miserable people we are. Yet
stripped of it's f1unkeyism, its colonial
ism, it's piety for the fatherland and

and We'll keep ours if we can. But if
it comes to the question, which shall
live, the cobra or us, we know the CO.
bra is prepared and we know it's folly
to not also prepare to meet him if we
must.
The old adage that God helps them
who help themselves has stood the
i test of Time.
1t was the dog that developed the
long heel-claw that calked him to the
ice, who survived in the artic region
to companion the Eskimo. He was
prepared.
1t is the camel with the fiat foot
who can walk on top of the shifting
sands, who can feed from his humps
while travelling where food is not, who
can defy the desert. He is prepared
to meet it.
He f1irts with pneumonia who re-
unprepared.
| Preparedness is so fundamental that
! the great organization known as the
Boy Scouts has taken as its slogan:
BE Prepared" To be prepared they
study life saving, first aid, wOodcraft,
signaling, everything that might serve
them in emergency. They encourage
thrift as prominent among virtues
and thrift must be given Importance
if they are to live up to their slogan.
Nations, like men, are forced to face
facts. The world cannot work too
faithfully to put aside the killing of
game. If the snake were disposed to
be as friendly and faithful as the dog
we would not fear it. Long ago we
would have let it warm itself upon
our hearthstones.
Let us have peace but let us not be
slaves in peace. The strong man
stands independent, self reliant 1t is
the weak man who bows before a mas
ter.
| The American minuteman walked
in the furrOw of his pillow but he al
ways had his gun ready. Thank God
/ he did. No more than we, did he want
! to steal or trespass. It was because
he wore ''fair dealing" on his breast
plate that he allowed no king to tread
upon him.
AS long as nations live the lower
life and parade the may of the world
with sharp horns and tusks, no peo-
pie play the game of safety first nor
, defend the cause of peace that are not
prepared to ward off the beast of bat
tie.

(Des Moines Register and LEADER
Theoretically every visitor in Des
MOines is as much entitled to Securi-
ty one one street as another, at one
ty on one street as another. And
yet the soundest advice given to the
stranger is to choose the streets he
frequent with some care, and the
hours at which they are frequented.
This is not a situation peculiar to
Des Moines, nor even peculiar to cit
les. Our rights in the abstract and
our rights in the concrete vary great
ly wherever we are, and much COM

of security the law contemplates.

to even approximate such a condition
