WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN
PUT RIGHTEOUSNESS
BEFORE PEACE.

PUT RIGHTEOUSNESS
BEFORE PEACE.
The supporters of Mr.. Wilson
say that the American people
should vote for him because he
has kept us out of war. 1t is
worth while to remember that
this is claim that cannot be adj
vanced either on behalf of Wash
Ington or of Lincoln. Neither
Washington nor Lincoln kept us
out of war. Americans, and the
people of the world at large, now
reverence the memories of these
two men, because, and only be-
cause, they put righteousness be-
fore peace. They abhorred war.
They Stunned unjust or wanton
or reckless war. But they pos
sessed that stern valor of patrio-
tism which babe them put duty
first; not safety first; which
babe them accept war rather
than an unrighteous and disas-
trous peace. There were peace
at-any-price men In the days of
Washington. They were the
Tories. There were peace-at-
any-price men in the days of
Lincoln. They were the Copper
heads. The men who now with
timid hearts and quavering
voices praise Mr.. Wilson for
having kept us out of war, are
the spiritns! heirs Of the Tories
Of 1776, and the Copperheads of
1884. The men who followed
Washington at Trenton and
Yorktown, and who suffered
with him through the winter at
Valley Forge; and the men who
wore the Blue under Grant, and
+ the Gray under Lee; were men
Of valor, who sacrificed every
thing to serve the right as 1t
was given them to see the right.
/ They spurned with contempt
uous indignation the counsels
( of the feeble and cowardly folk
who in their day spoke for
peace-at-any-price. - From the
Speech Of Colonel Roosevelt at
Battle Greek, Michigan, in Be
half of Mr.. Hughes.

adventurous raider and the ships that
were supposed to have captured her.
From Buenos Aires, where the report
started, came the additional informa,
tion that the captains of the American
steamer Santa Barbara and the Swedish
steamer .Axel johnson were responsible
for the story. 1t seems that they told
reporters at Montevideo, that they had
picked up reports of the capture of a
raider supposed to have been the Roor
OF the Moewe, by British cruisers. This
information was given under the seal
of secrecy, II is said, but the news was
too good to keep and the newspaper men
violated their confidence and sent II
broadcast.
It is understood that swarms of Brit
ish and French and Italian light cruis
ers are now seeking the raider which
captured the Appam.

There is remarkable romance at
