ON HEROES

| No day on the calendar is more
popular, and surely none is more need
ed. If we would not lose our ideals.
and become utterly sordid in spirit we
need to stop our usual work and turn
our attention at least once a year to
the men and events that have made
our lives rich and full
Wa enjoy the blessings of freedom
and a united country, and do we'll to
honor the heroes whose sacrifices
acknowledge this debt In honor of
the memory of these heroic dead we
garland their graves
When our country's integrity was
protection. They died that liberty
might live. They sacrificed everything
for country A grateful nation is
unanimous in praising their deeds.
Now upon this generation another
strife has been forced. nation that
frankest philosophy of force and ma
terialism. That teaches that the
strong and not the meek shall in
herit the earth. That calls solemn
treaties mere scraps of paper" when
in the way of it's desires. That dis
regards all moral restraints of interna-
tional law and wages a war of fright
fulness" upon civilians women
and children.
This nation takes the offensive and
attacks its neigh bors- And yet we are
urged to be neutral. Peace is held
before us as the highest good.
France is fighting for her physical
life. England is bleeding in defense
of a small neighbor, and of the sane
tity of treaties and of law, the very
foundation of civilization Yet all are
alike condemned for fighting. It is
frequently said that all Europe has
suffered a moral breakdown
How can we condemn our brothers
in one breath, and praise our fathers
in the next, for the same spirit shown?
If Memorial day means anything it
means that war is not always to be
condemned. A man may fight for
right and justice and freedom. This
is just as heroic in our brothers, as in
our fathers. Our Battle Hymn of the
Republic" voices the spirit of millions
in the trenches of Flanders today
LAS He died to make men holy, let us
die to make them free. For God is
marching on FSTUS FOSTER

EzA DAILY STATE JoURNAI-TUEsDAY EVENING MAY 3d. 1916

a majority of the Kansas votes on the
first ballot. Whether these delegates
will stand with the justice throughout
the fight is quite another thing. $eV-
eraI old line leaders whose counsel
will count for much with the Kansas
delegates. are expected to urge Hughes
as a compromise rather than COM
promise with Roosevelt as the choice
of the delegates.
Failure of Justice Hughes to make
a statement as TO his position on pre-
paredness and other issues may cost
him several votes with the Kansas del
egates Several weeks ago it was pre-
dicted that at least fifteen Of the tWen-
Nv delegates were for Hughes. But
conditions have changed greatly since
that time. Maybe Hughes followers
will be able to swing that number of
votes in Chicago next week. Maybe
not.
Weeks and Root Have Friends.
Both Weeks and Root are known to
have friends on the delegation. Where
these delegates would go in event one
or both of these men were eliminated
from the race after the early voting,
is not known even by close political
observers. In Chicago this week.
however, D w. Mulvane of Topeka,
former national committeeman for
Kansas, asserted that Roosevelt would
under no conditions receive single
vote from the Sunflower state dele
CATION 1t is believed Mulvane has
more accurate idea of the plans of
the delegates than any man in the
state.
Right in the face of Mulvane's pre-
diction that Kansas will never yield a
vote to the colonel, thirty-four Pro-
gressive delegates are going to Chi
cago to whoop it up for Roosevelt
They will demand Roosevelt's nomi-
nation or nothing. These delegates
will offer to come back with ROOSe-
welt at the head of the ticket. They
will pledge their party to go it alone
with Roosevelt eliminated. And the
effect which this argument will have
on the delegates from Kansas will be
a matter of state wide concern.
