face death and endure hardship and labor.
He can be reused to do so if leader Of the
right type-a Washington or Lincon-ap-
peals to the higher qualities, including the
stern qualities Of his soul
"As for neutrality" he declares, 1T is well
TO remember that il is never moral, and may
be particularly mean and hideous form OF
immortality. II is in itself merely immoral
that is, neither moral nor immoral-and at
times il may be wise and expedient. But 1t is
never anything of which to be proud; and it
may be something of which to be heartily
ashamed. II is a wicked thing to be neutral
between right and wrong
After declaring that the Allies are waging
war ION behalf OF orderly liberty and self
government for the people OF mankind, that
they have accepted war rather than let the
free nations OF Europe perish and after in
sisting that the Allies must strive on to finish
the work they are in and to achieve lasting
peace, which shall redress wrong and secure
the Liberties OF the nations which have been
assailed," Mr.. Roosevelt returns to the matter
of Americas preparation for possible partici
patton in war.
1T is always hard" he says, TO make
democracy prepare in advance against dangers
which only the farsighted see to be imminent.
Universal training in time OF peace
may avert war, and if war comes will certainly
avert incalculable waste and extravaganza and
bloodshed and possible ultimate failure Let
US of the United States learn the lesson. Let
us inaugurate a system of obligatory universal
military training and instil into our sons the
spirit of intense and exclusive loyalty TO the
United States Let ours be true Americanism.
Let this nation fear God and take its own
part Let it scorn to do wrong to great or
small. Let it exercise patience and charity
toward all other peoples, and yet at whatever
cost unflinchingly stand for the right when the
right is menaced by the might which backs
wrong Let it furthermore remember that the
only way successfully TO oppose wrong which
is backed by might is to put over against it
right which is backed by might. Wanton and
unjust war as an abhorrent evil. But there
are even worse evils.
THE only kind of peace worth having is the
peace Of righteousness and justice; the only
nation that can serve other nations is the
strong and valiant nation, and the only great
international policies worth considering are
those whose upholders believe in them strong

If a Man Will Not by Force En-
deavor to Save His Daughter
from Outrage. He Is Logical in
Directing to War;" Says
Fear God and Take
Your Own Part"

mo man can take the part OF any one else
unless he is able to take his own part. This is
just as true OF nations as OF men. A nation
that cannot take its own part is at times al
most as fertile source of mischief in the
world at large as is nation which does wrong
70 others. for its very existence puts pre-
MUM upon such wrongdoing.
Unless we are thoroughgoing Americans
and unless our patriotism is part OF the very
FIBRE Of our being. we can neither serve God
nor take our own part. Whatever may be the
case in an infinitely remote future, at present
no people can render any service to humanity
unless as a people they feel an intense sense OF
national cohesion and solidarity. The man
who loves other nations as much as he does
his own stands on par with the man who
loves other women as much as he does his
own wife.
"A Aabby cosmopolitanisn especially if it
expresses itself through a habby pacifsm, is
not only silly but degrading. 1t represents
national emasculation.'
Going on to express his opinion OF hyphen-
ism, he says: The professors OF every 'orrl
OF hyphcnated Americanism are as truly the
foes Of this country as if they dwelt outside
its borders and made active war against It.
This IS not figure of speech or hyperbolic
statement. The leaders Of the hyphensted
American movement in this country (who
during the last eighteen months have been the
professional German Americans and Austro
Americans) are also leaders in the movement
against preparedness.
These professional German Americans and
pro o-Germans are anti-American to the core.
They play the part OF traitors, pure and simple
Once il was true that this country could not
endure half free and half slave. To-day 1t
is true that it cannot endure half American
and half foreign. The hyphen is incompatible
with patriotism"
Turning TO an attack upon the present ad-
ministration, Mr.. Roosevelt says:
The duty OF leader is to lead; and It is
dreadful thing that any man chosen to lead
his fellow countrymen should himself show not
merely so profound lack OF patriotism but
such misunderstanding Of patriotism as to be
willing to say in great crisis what President
Wilson said at the time OF the sinking OF the
Lusitania" Chat such was not the right time to
stir up patriotism) This statement, con-
tinues Mr.. Roosevelt, coupled with his state
rnent made about the same time as to being
TOO proud to fight furnishes the olew to the
administrators policy both before and since.
