STILL SMALL VOICES

What noise politics makes in the
world, our politics especially; but
some silent thinker in his study, or
some inventor in his laboratory, is
starting currents that will make or
unmake politics for generations to
come. How noiseless is the light,
yet what power dwells in the sun
beams -mechanical power at one
end of the spectrum, in the red and
infra-red rays, and chemical power
at the other or violet and ultraviolet
end! 1t is the mechanical forces
the winds. the rains, the movements
Of ponderable bodies-that fill the
world with noise; the chemical
changes that distintegratc the rocks
and set the currents of life going are
silent. The great loom in which are
woven all the living textures that
clOthe the world with verdure and
people it with animated forms makes
no sound. Think of the still small
voice of radio-activity-s still AMI
small that only molecular science is
aware of it, yet physicists believe it
to be the handspring of the universe.

NOT "TOO OLD AT FORTY"

The cry of TOO old at 4O!" has, in
one sense, at any rate, got its death
blow during the present war.
The older men have been called
to fill the places of the youngsters
who have gone to the front, and they
have filled them well.
The late DR.. Alfred Russell Wal
lace issued one of his biggest and
most learned books when he had
passed his ninetieth year.
He actually wrote four big books
after he passed his eightieth year!
Tennyson was remarkable both
for the quantity and quality OF the
work he did in old age. He wrote
that supreme lyric, Crossing the
Bar" when past 80 years old. One
of his most famous poems. "Locksley
Hail." was written when he was a
mere boy % years old, and its Sc
quel, every bit as fine, sixty years
after as its title shows.
Mr.. Gladstone had reached his
eightieth year when he was called
to undertake the premiership of the
greatest empire in the world for the
fourth time
There is much truth in the old say
ing that a man is just as old as he
feels, and many a man feels as young
at 80 as another does at 30, and the
former is often a better man than
the latter, even If he cant lift as
much. It's ideas that rule man
kind, not fists, mailed" or other

GILBERT HUBBARD ON WAR

1t is perfectly safe to say that SO
men out of a hundred in civilized
countries are opposed to war. Say
ages like to go to war; we do not.
We are farmers, mechanics, mer-
chants, manufacturers, teachers, and
all we ask is the privilege of attend
ing to our own business.
Leave us alone.
But they will not-these dema-
gogues, politicians and rogues intent
on the strenuous life. We wish to
be peaceable and want to be kind,
but they say this life is warfare and
we must fight.
OF course we would fight to pro-
tect our homes; but our homes are
not threatened, nor our liberties
either, except by the men who chew
the ubiquitous Glove and insist on
the strenuous life.
Leave us alone.
But they will not leave us alone
these men who insist on governing
us and living off our labor. They
tax us, eat our substance, conscript
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1916-03-03

disposed they accept it and now this
supeior class, intent on taxing us,
may declare war and maintain stand
/ ing armies And so we find Canada
/ lustng for a navy. All the myriads
of men live off the government, de-
pend upon the government to tax
the many, and in order to tax sue
cessfully, standing armies are main
tanned.
The plain people of France, Ger
many, England and America are OPP
posed to war. We wish only to be
let alone. Men with wives, children,
sweethearts, homes, aged parents,
horses, crops and flowers do not
want to fight some one. Weare peace
able and wish to be kind We fear
war: we hate it.
We would like to obey the Golden
Rule.
But the superior class will not
have it so-they pass CONSUMPTION
laws all over Europe and use the
army thus conscripted to conscript
other men.
War is the sure result of armed
men. That country which maintains
large standing army will sooner or
later have a war on hand. The man
who prides himself on fistcuffs is 60
ing some day to meet man who
considers himself the better man,
and they will test the issue.
Germany and England have no
issue save desire to see who is the
better man. They have fought once
more than that, several times, and
they will fight again. Not that the
people want to fight, but the superior
class fan fright into fury and make
men think they must fight to protect
their homes.
So the people who wish to follow
the teachings of Christ are not al
lowed to do so, but are taxed and de-
ceived by kinks" by the superior
class who demand that we shall lead
the strenuous life, when all we ask |
is the privilege of doing our work.
Christ taught humility, meekness,
the forgiveness of ones enemies, and
that to kill was wrong. The Bible
teaches men not to swear, but the
superior class swear us on the Bible |
which they do not believe.
An army is a menace. The only
relief lies i'll education. Educate |
men not to fight, and that it is wrong |
to kill Teach them the Golden Rule, |
Silently defy this fuss, feathers and .
fury idea by refusing to bow down !
to the fetch of bullets. Cease sup
porting the Hobsons who cry for
war and sprout patriotism for a con-
sideration. Let them go to work as
we do.
America can never become the .
Ideal Republic-the home and ref
uge of all that is best in art and sci
ence, the fulfilment Of the dreams of
seers and prophets-unless we cease
modelling our political policy after
the rotting monarchies of Europe.
Force expends itself and dies.
Every army is marching to its death;
nothing but a skull and a skeleton
fill helmet and cuirass; the aggres-
sor is overcome by the poison of his
pride; victory is only another name
for defeat, but the spirit of gentle
ness and love is eternal. Only by
building on that can we hope as a
nation to live.
Leave US alone!
We wish to do our work. We
wish to beautify our homes, to edu-
cate our children, to love our neigh
bors.
Leave US alone.
