Billy Sunday ON Preparedness.


There may be doubts about Billy
Sundays theological manners, and
some persons even question his finan.
cial methods. but there is no doubt
whatever that he belongs absolute ely
and without condition or mental res
ervation Of any kind to the most ,ag-
gressive branch of the church mill
tant. He Is stirring up Tronton. N.
j.. Just now. and is letting Trenton
know with picturesque frankness what
he thinks about everything To the
sanity pacificators who think It a
deadly sin for nation to hit back we
commend his reply to Trenton i'm
quirer who asked him during one of
the meetings Sunday If he was for
preparedness.
Am l for preparedness? Huh!
You bet your sweet life! I believe in
the biggest gun and the biggest bat
tleship and the biggest torpedo that
can spit 260 pounds of guncotton and
turn battleship into bunch of junk.
Yes. believe in preparedness with a
big p. and I'm not Democrat. eth
er!" he yelled.
But the biggest hit was when he
pointed to one Of the vivid American
flags draped from a pine post and
cried:
I'm these days either be American
or sail to Europe-one of the two!"
This has not much to do with re-.
iigion as ordinarily taught, we ad-
nit, but 1t Is fine Americanism, If not
unexceptionable orthodoxy. We think
the government might do a wise thing
to hire Billy Sunday to preach up ma
tional preparedness. He is a born
tighter. and he talks fight SO fascinat-
ingly that even such peace-lover as
Mr.. Bryan would be almost sure to
hit the war trail under his ministra-
tions.-Baltimore Sun.
