LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

In recalling the years following the
close Of hostilities in 1865. and the
long period Of supremacy enjoyed by
the political party which brought the
armed conflict to a successful con-
clusion an inQuisitive New York
paper, with a doleful outlook. asks:
Where, now, are the men who will
occupy the White House from 1920
to 1895? In the Army, as were Grant,
Garfield, Hayes, Harrison and McKin-
ley, between 81 and '65? Or will our
politics hinge for years afterward on
the war;"
There were very definite reasons
why American politics hinged on the
war following the close Of the rebel
lion. The situation is different now.
The whole country Is united in this
war against a common enemy, and
politics, therefore, will be more likely
to hinge on the war aftermath than
on the issues of the war itself. In
1920, and for considerable time
thereafter, politics will hinge chiefly
upon the question Of economic de-
Tense; upon the means to be employed
to resist industrial invasion. Begin
ming with 1920, this country will have
to solve the problem of shielding its
labor and industry from the onslaught
Of foreisn-made goods offered at
industry cannot compete without
heavy decrease in wage rates. Re
stored Protection will then be the
issue.

Ripping Rhymes
OLD AND VIEW.
BY WALT MASON

In olden times the hardy knight went
forth with lance and mnce to fight. He
rode upon his foaming stecd. and hoped
to do some goodly deed. And in the
fray it often CHANGED that he was shot
or slugged or lanced. and he would lie
upon the field. encountered by his arms
and shield. and die for weary days on
end, without Il surgeon or friend. On.
dying was q painful stunt for old time
soldiers Mt the front. But when the
modern soldier falls. struck down by
sharpnel. shells or balls. he wakes UP
If he hasn't died-with Red Cross nurses
at his side. They tend his hurts and
soothc his pain, and make him think OF
home again; sweet sympathy is in their
eyes; they are 50 gentle. patient. wise,
the stricken soldier ptties those who
are not shot up by the foes. War is
the most atrocious thing Ger sprung by
an ambitious king. and 1t would be so
much the worse. but for the gentle Req

Judging by the campaigns already
inaugurated next years elections
promise to be the most interesting OF
any ever held in a mid Presidential
term OF course the election IS still
far OF, but this early agitation shows
the interest that will invest all con-
tests for Congress. In New Jersey
two candidates for the Senate have
announced themselves and begun the
construction of their fences. 1t is
significant Of the sentiment In Mis-.
sissippi that three men have declared
their intention Of opposing the re-
election Of Senator James K. Varda-
man, which means the war issues will
figure dominantly in the campaign IN
that State. In fact such test Is more
than likely to be applied in every
State, which will call to the party
colors the war and the peace advo'
Gates without the usual urging.
The contest in Mississippi will be
wholly within the lines Of the Dem
ocratic party. but it will nevertheless
be interesting as the three candidates
announced will oppose Fardaman on
his war record" Yardaman is very
mediocre man, in striking comparison
to his colleague, John Sharp Williams,
one of the sanest and brainiest mem
beers Of the Senate. Vardaman has
been conspicuous in the little group
Of "willful men," and distinguished
for his opposition to the selective
draft and his active advocacy of the
transcription Of capital" 1t would
seem from the number Of contestants
that have already sprung up that the
people back home are anxious to get
a yhack at the man who has misrep-
resented them. It Is indicative OF the
same spirit that prevails among the
Missouri Democrats who are calling
for the designations Of both their
Senators, Reed and Stone. who have
been obstructing the preparations fol-
war. The temper of the people In
the next elections will undoubtedly
demand a clear record Of loyalty tc
the government of all those who seek
to be returned to Congress.

lectively. There IS grave question
whether the majority Of the German
people approve of the governments
military policy Of Schrecklichkett, or
frightfulness, although there need be
no question but that the military
caste wholly approve of 1t.
To cite the slaughter Of civilians
by aeroplane raids upon London and
other English cities as evidence OF
purely racial backwardness, or even
Of recldivistic tendencies on the part
Of the German people, is merely to
take advantage Of certain obvious
facts in their heredity and to accord
undue weight to racial traits which
the Germans inherit precisely as other
peoples inherit racial characteristics.
Thus, the Belgians racially are
partly Gothic and partly Celtic, with
an overlap Of Latin culture. But the
acQuiescence Of the Belgians In the
hldeous cruelties practised by their
late. King Leopold in the Belgian
Congo, does not imply that the Bel
gian people were either a backward
race or recidivistic one. AS mat
ter of fact. they were humdrum. in
dustrlous, modern people, in all prob
ability ignorant of those offences
against civilizations ideals until the
national scandal was dragged to the
light OF day.
Nor shall we find the English
people recidivistic or backward be-
cause Of the 'pig-sticking" boasts of
their army lancers in the recent war
upon the independence of the Beers.
any more than the English as a nation
were atavistic when they influenced
the American Indians to mutilate Eng
lands foes by setting a bounty on
human scalps.
Does not the charge Of primitive
barbaric instincts, brought against
the German people as whole, resolve
itself into an indictment of militarism
and of autocratic rule, with humanity
at large liable TO similar acquiescence
in such military outrages upon civili-
cation wherever and whenever n peo-
pie surrenders its sovereign powers
to an .autocrat or to a military class?
