Preparedness and Hypocrisy.

Has the member of Congress who vociferously
.denounces President Wilson's plans to prepare the
country to defend itself against possible invasion,
and then introduces appropriation bill to pro-
vide for the establishment of munitions factory
in his district accurately analysed the patriot
ism of his constituents? The question is suggested
by events that have occurred in Washington since
the Sixty-fourth Congress convened. The course
of more than one statesman indicates that he re-
CARDS preparedness as crime unless his district
gets share of the necessary expenditure, when it
becomes great patriotic duty in which he is proud
to have part. These members of Congress
seemingly would have the world believe that the
people they represent willing that the coun-
try shall be left at the mercy of any foe unless
profit in dollars and cents is to come to them from
the preparations to defend it. That the voters who
have sent these men to Congress will complacently
submit to being thus represented to their fellow
countrymen is discouraging thought
In his address to the National Security League
on Saturday Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,, is
quoted as saying:
just as long as the members of Congress think
there more votes to be had in making approprla-
tons for roads, rivers and harbors and buildings than
there is in making appropriations to strengthen the
defenses of the country, just long will they con-
tinue to make appropriations for roads, river, and
harbors, and buildings.
Senator Lodge depicts situation that no one
will dispute, abhorent as it is, but the spectacle of
the protesting pacifst, the little army and navy
man, eager to sacrifice the principles he proclams
in the pursuit of the votes that he expects will
come to him if he can establish factory for war
material in his district, is even more repulsive Can
it be that these Representatives judgment of the
American citizens whose votes elect them is cor
rect? If it is it will take than speech-mak-
ing tour by President Wilson to awaken them
from their sordd perspective. A more hopeful
view however is that injustice has been done these
people that they bigger than their represent
atives, that many among them will resent the i'm
putation that they patriotic if there is money
in it and will withhold their votes from the men
who believe they best served by hypocrisy that
alternately crates and operates on the Treasury
vaults with jimmy. Let us hope that some day
IA courageous group OF constituents who have been
represented in Congress patriotic for pelf only
will send a public protest to Washington, accept
ing a munitions plant and declaring for prepared
ness or rejecting the factory and espousing
peace at any price.

Massachusetts, and the Presidency.

From Boston comes the announcement, SEEM
ingly authoritative that Samuel w. Mccall, gov
ernor of the Bay State is to proclaim himself
a candidate for the Republican nomination for
President. While contributing still further to the
intense interest in the contest that will turn the
attention of the whole country to Chicago next
June the active candidacy of Gov. Mccall is not
calculated to promote harmony and certainly not
to advance the claim of Massachusetts,. 1t means
that he may have to give battle to Senator Weeks
in his own State, and this, it is announced he is
quite prepared to do unless the Weeks boom flat
tens out in the meantime Senator Weeks warmest
admirers can hardly regard the consideration thus
far accorded his candidacy as flattering They
have in fact been able to discover but little reason
10 hope that the conventions choice will fall upon
him. Leaders have been asking why, in any event.
nominate a man from Massachusetts, and why,
with such an abundance OF Presidential timber
available go so far in the direction of antagonzing
the Progressives as to select Mr.. Weeks who, while
recognized OF the country's ablest states
men, proudly represents so many things that are
anathema to the Progressive mind This latter dis
advantage applies with far less force to Gov. Nc
Call though his craftsmanship is scarcely less or
thodox He has to his credit, too the great achieve
ment OF last November. when, with great over
turn OF votes, he defeated Gov Walsh, Democratic
candidate for a third term. But he is from Mas
sachusctts, and the fact OF anything like a
struggle for the nomination between two OF
the Bay State must inevitably add to their handi-
cap of geographical location. Both men are big
enough and broad enough to forget their own con-
test when the choice is made, but the convention
may be expected to hesitate to name candidate
who was forced to strive for preference with an
other party leader of the same Republican State
especially when no necessity exists for risking the
possible effect of animosity and resentment that
NAV be left among their followers.
While the G. o. P. could confidently place the
affairs Of the nation in the able hands Of either
Gov. Mccall or Senator Weeks the question may
be asked whether the entrance OF the governor in
TO the contest will not eliminate Massachusetts
from serious consideration when the balloting be-
gins in Chicago.

Germany on Armenian Massacres.

pellation in the Reichstag in regard to the Ar

Territories, no natIonalized slavery, no

proved less numerous than II had been
in 1S4s.
The Whig ranks were not a little
thinned and disordered by the un-
easiness and defections of a time of
dread and doubt; and when the party
convention, in June, put forward GEN
eral Winfield Scott, a third popular
soldier. as its candidate. and declared
itself entirely satisfied with the COM
promise of 1850. many a man of con-
viction and initiative turned away
from ii. as from a party which had
lost courage and craftsmanship.
But the Democrats acted with their
old-time confidence and unanimity, and
won. upon a declaration of views
which committed them not only to the
maintenance of the compromise but
also to an unqualified adoption of the
principles laid down in the Kentucky
and Virginia Resolutions of 1898 and
1893 and the Report OF Mr.. Madison
to the Virginia Legislature in 1899

When, in 1910, the wings put Mr..
Van Buren from office 1t looked for
a brief space as IL the older tradi-
tions OF the government were to be
revived, as If Congress and the Ex-
ecutlVe were once more to draw to-
gether under the leadership of men
both in the Presidents cabinet and
on the floor of the houses.
But General Harrison's death made
that once more impossible.
Mr.. Tyler pleased the Democrats as
little as he pleased the Wings; and
the two branches of the governme en-
dritted further apart than ever.
Once again. in 1S4S, the wings won;
and some of their chief men became
the Presidents advisers, Mr.. Webster
among them, as at the outset of
General Harrison's term.
But there was only a faint flicker
OF the revival of tradition in that.
1t was too late to go back to the
old ways of administration.
In all ordinary seasons, while the
old parties kept their discipline and
their prestige. mere fiurries of in
dependent action might cause poll
ticians little or no uneasiness; but in
seasons when mems minds were like
ly to take touch of passion from the
questions of the hour there was no
telling what a new convention might
portend.
This new and fscile machinery of
agitation was as suitable for acts of
principle as for schemes of manipuIa-
tion.
Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Webster looked
from then death beds upon a strange
ly altered scene.
Passions were astir which might
shake parties to pieces at any mo-
ment. The rule of parliamentary lead
ers belonged to an age gone by. Com
promises arranged in Congress were
conclusive of nothing should the
thought of the nation once shake the
foundations upon which they rested.
Even yet, however. the signs OF
change were partially obscured.
A presidential election fell in that
year. and parties seemed steadier than
before in their choice of candidates
and issues.
A convention of Free Sellers met
again august IL, 1882. as four years
before, and again spoke their uncom-
promising program very plainly: mo

Goethe on Prussia.

1t was Goethe who said "The Prussan is
cruel; civilization will make him ferocious." This
is remarkable piece of prophecy. 1t is century
old 1t from who knew Prussia, for
he was a Prussian by birth and for most of his
life Prussian by residence. But though he spoke
from intimate knowledge of the substrata of the
Prussian character, he evidently did not speak as
a sympathizer with the Prussian qualities Of blood
and iron. He also undoubtedly voiced very gen.
eral feeling in Germany outside of Prussia And
just as no Englishman dispute Shakespeare so
no German can dispute Goethe.-Waterbury
