Bouck Whites flag burning orgy is
simply piece Of religious fanaticism. a
characteristic act of crankery brought
on by the world crisis. The public
should regard such an occurrence as a
pathological mptom. IL is inevitable
that Il period of mental strain such as
the world is now passing through
should discharge certain incipicnt men
tai iuvalids into action. We have seen
more than one such case of irratiOnality
during these troublous past two years,
some of them dangerous some only err
rattle peace junkets, attempts at as
sassnation, and even treasonablc CON
spiracy of American citizens with secret
foreign agents.
The crank is ever with us. He il Just
on ideaist blow up He is person
who has been guilty of intellectual
intempcance, a spiritual dope iicnd
who has indulged himself in eN-
trayagant thinking until he has delir-
ium trcmens.
We all wish for worldwide human
brotherhood, probably as earnestly as do
these social revolutionsts. But most
normal minds know that the cause of
humanity is not enhanced bv insulting
the emblem which all men hold sacred.
The followers of Mr.. White have mis-
taken their identity. They are not in
tcrnationalists; they are only antina-
tionaists. Tho difference is plain. One
does not become an internationalist sim
ply because he is man without coun-
try ary more than one becomes a good
