UTTERING FOLLY

VIXEN a mere private citizen zen utters
w folly. it does not get far, since
few hear it and they are not misled by
1.-THE hearers generally setting it
down for the idle vaporings of the
village oracle more fond of talking than
of thinking.
But when the man who as president
stands in the spot light of nation of
110, 900, 900 people, prates folly in some
public speech which is presently broad
easted the whole land over, championing
some dangerous error whose practice
would be ruinous to whole country,
then, the folly dignifed by the high
station of its author, does great harm
and may become the source Of grave
national peril.
To select one of the many false and
hopelessly foolish utterances of this
talkatve president of ours: ''There is
such thing as nation being so right
that it does not need to use force to
protect itself"
This oracular folly was spoken year
ago by Mr.. Wilson in his Philadelphia
speech in opposition to those who were
seeking to arouse the people into taking
measures for the defense af the country
In that same address he announced
his now famous-or infamous-notion
that "a man can be too proud to fight"
for his own life or for the honor of his
wife and daughter
ga nation so right that it does not
need to use force to protect itself" was
the president $ plea for smaller army
and navy-the belief he then held, and
which many of his party in Congress
and out still hold, together with a few
Republicans we are ashamed to admit.
"a Christian nation, good and Just,
need have no army, no navy. Its simple
goodness and truth will shield it from
all harm, for no other nation, moved by
hate or greed, will ever attack it p
Garry out yet further this silly notion
of Mr.. Wilson's, and cities will dismiss
their police; states wii abolish their
judiciary and shut up their sails; good
citizens will remove all locks from their
doors; banks quit using strong vaults
all hands, the Nation, states, cities and
citizens trusting solely to the righteous
ness of their cause for protection
This is Mr.. Wilson's folly carried into
actual practice. Outside of lunatic
asylum was ever anything more absurd
ever spoken ! Yet this unbelievable
nonsense was publically proclaimed by
president Wilson for the instruction
and guidance of the Nation
That ga nation can be so right that
it does not need to use force to protect
itself, is solemn piece of folly utterly
refuted by the history of all nations for
thousands of years-a history that is
filled with heartrending stories of
the endless tyrannies and brntaIities of
conquerors, from those of far off
Assyrian days down to those of Japan
despolling unarmed Korea and China,
and Germany ravaging heroic little
Belgium.
But Mr.. Roosevelt's fiery campaigns
have aroused the spirit of the American
people, and they are everywhere re-
pudiating Mr.. Wilson's folly. Mr.. Will
son fearing the peoples verdict at the
polls next November, has abandoned his
silly doctrine and become late convert
to Preparedness. This is big flop for
him. However, ''better late than
never"
