the memories of these two men, be- cause. and only because they put righteousness before peace. They ab- horred war They summed unjust or Wanton or reckless war. But they possessed that stern valor of patriot ism which bade them put duty first; not safety first: which bade them ac- cept war rather than an unright eous and disastrous peace. There were peace -at-anN 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 Copperheads. The men who now with timid hearts and quaver- ing voices praise Mir. Wilson for having kept us out of war are the spiritual heirs of the Tories of 1776, and the Copperheads of 1864. The men who followed Washington at Trenton and Yorktown. and who suffered with him through the winter at Valley Forge: an0 the men who wore the Blue under Grant, and the Gray under Lee. were men of Valor, who sacri- feed everything to serve the right as it was given them to see the right. They spurned with contemptuous in dignation the counsels of the feeble and cowardly folk who in their day spoke for peace-at-any price.
 Submission to Insult
 President Wilson by his policy of tame submission to insult and injury from all whom he feared has invited the murder of our men, women, and children by Mexican bandits on land, and by German submarines on the sea. lie has spoken much of the New Freedom In international practice this has meant freedom for the representatives of any foreign power 10 murder American men, and outrage American women unchecked by the President. President Wilson has counted upon his belief that the American people are indifferent to their duties, because they are too much absorbed in war profits, too much pleased with the unhealthy prosperity which flOurishes because others are suffering; too greedily content with a momentary immunity from danger due to the fact that al possible foes are otherwise engaged He has believed that our people vii not look ahead He has believed that they will remain blind to the fact that disaster will surely in the enc oVertake them if they shirk theii duties m the present. He believe: that if they are allowed to enjoy gooC profits and high wages. and go tC the movies. and purchase automobiles they will pay no thought to the possi htltAA hl Aulule Iuliis anu no lnOuSn to the sufferings of their fellow countrymen and countrywomen wh, at the present moment, suffer thu last eXtremities of torture and out rage.
 Our Standing Abroad
 Porter Emerson Browne has show exactly the way in which we ar looked at abroad in q recent state menI which runs as follows:
 n American friend of nt tended a dinner given in Mexico b the erstwhile revolutionist thereo Pascual Orosco Pascual was pug zled. He asked my friend to explai that which so mystified him. w have robbed your men, dshonore your women, killed your children tell me, pleaded Pascual. what doe an American need to make hiI fight" Pascual, you see. being onl an ignorant Mexican, couldn't under stand why a wife or a couple of chi dren more or less mean little whe yOu nave a new automobile and fat bank account"
 He Only Spoke
 l do not ask you to take my state ment for Mir. Wilson's motive and aC tions. | ask you only to considt his own statements, and the sat, ments of his authorized represents uyes, and his actions, and above a his constant inaction. Nearly or year and half has passed since u Lusitania was sunk. The act Tel resented the most colossal single il stance of the murder of non- comba ants, including men, women and chi dren. that had been perpetrted l any power calling itself civilized f over century. President Wilst had full notice as to what was to done, for the German AmbassadC Mr. NOn BernstOff, had publicly gi en such notice to the people of [ United States.

 "Too Proud to Fight"
