Jefferson, and the other men who signed the declaration of independ- ence had felt the same way about patriotism, and the same way about fighting as Mir. Wilson does, we would never have had country. Had Lin coin felt the same way, there would be no such thing as the American re- public now in existence.
 Most assurcdly, my fellow country men, the American republic will not live, and will not deserve to live, if for the views of the men who signed the declaration of independence on July 4, 1776, we substitute as the basis of national action the views of the president who, l2S years later, de- clined to speak in commemoration of the day, because in a dangerous crisis it seemed to his cold heart unwise ito arouse the spirit of patriotism"
