The Heroic Mood.

President Wilson made a speech last
night and Colonel Roosevelt gave out a
statement. The two utterances, making
due allowance for differences in tempera-
ment, are strikingly similar in essence.
"Are you ready for the test p asked
tho president Of his hearers ready TO 20
in when t'the interests Of America are
coincident with the interests OF man
kindp" Colonel Roosevelt expressed the
same thought by saying: we have a
lofty ideal TO serve. great mission to
accomplish for the cause Of freedom ana
genuine democracy and of justice and
fair dealing throughout the world"
When. the president asked whether his
hearers we're ready for the test he asked
the same thing as was meant
by Colonel Roosevelt when he inquired
as to whether the country is in a heroic
mood.
Whatever this country does or does not
do is policy should not be controlled BY
thought Of narrow. selfish interests OF
national honor in the old and restricted
sense. The lodestar by which it should
steer Is devotion 20 matters OF world
wide concern-of which we are concerned
