government consistently ask for a preference for
national guardsmen on both federal and private
work unless it itself shows a preference towards

Getting Ready For War

n S long as men live on this earth there will be
+ "A war. Those who dream of it's complete abo-
lition are fools Men war with one another in
every day life, they quarrel in business, on the
streets nahe clubs, in the churches in the schools

one mind there will be strife. '@>$@., -@
War rs terrible, but it cannot be prevented.
When it comes the nation which is unprepared
must go down to ignominious defeat for the cost
of unpreparedness is destruction. N-.t 1",t,
Americans must awaken to the actualities OF
the situation. 1t is only in fairy tales that the
unframed and unready achieve power, success or
greatness In every day life experience proves
the contrary. The office boy does not step into
the managers shoes except the movie screen
Men must be prepared for war. Knowing how

nor less than trained efficiency. Wasteful, extra
VACANT individualism holds up its hands in holy
horror at "militarism as a national characteristic
but in its own business field adopts it, and those
who proclaim loudest against mitarism stand
most rigidly for efficiency in the conduct of their
private affairs.
Democratic individualism in its last analysis is
Intensely selfish 1t subordnates public interest
to private 1t denies authority, accepting nothing
as final. No law is considered, binding until the
courts have approved it, and even then men over
ride the law
A false sense Of conviction has grown in the
American mind that as This course is possible

be made the guiding rule in international affairs
The essayist and the corporation lawyer would
transfer war to the realms of debate and fight
their battles with pure logic and typewriter
Those who have followed the events of the last
eighteen months know that the people of not one
OF the great European nations wanted war, or
sought it. But each was ready and when it came
they accepted the inevitable. When Europe has |
finished fighting, how will the victors look at !
Americas psychological method OF defense? Will /
notes replace battleships or the typewriter, the
machine gun? Will the victors beat their swords
into plowshares, and defer to the opinion of neu-
trails as to how the spoils should be divided or as
to what shall be the trend of a worlds commerce
ard government? Will they accept our decision
when we ourselves never take even that of our
highest tribunal as final?

Encouraging the Jinqoes

CENATOR PHELAN of San Francisco was too
- obviously talking for the record and making
a speech to please the labor unions of the Pacific
Coast, when he shouted about war with Japan,
to make his words of anygreat effect in the Unit
ed States, but it is not improbable that they will
start the Toxic jingo off on q fresh tear, the
effects of which will cross the Pacific and give
the Yankee lingo new material to work on. ~
James D. Phelan, while mayor of San Frand isco,
could shout his head off to please his constituents
without doing any harm, but as member of the
United States Senate and at a time like this, when
European intrigue is busy in the Orient striving
to stir up trouble, Phelan should weigh carefully
whatever he intends to say in public.
The United States has plenty already on its
hands, if it safeguards it's honor on the Atlantic
and affords it's citizens some measure of protec-
ton in Mexico, and there is no necessity for re-
creating the japanese DOGGY. Such speech as
Senator Phelan is reported to have made is need
less, harmful and without adequate justi6cation
while, just now, it is almost reasonable, assisting
as it will, the cause of those who are the real
enemies OF the United States, if any real enemies
exist.
