Voice In the Matter?

have said In a referendum vote that tney
want war, doesn't meet with the approx
4 of certain Of our citizens and certain
Of our newspapers, as was 70 be ex-
psctsd.
There is nothing in the constitution
10 support it,"
There is no time TO present the ques-
ton"
There is no machinery for any such
referendum
The idea is impracticable.
All of these arguments are, perhaps
well taken at this time.
Just the same. the suggestion has q
mighty democratic and satisfying sound.
Certainly there is nothing in the con-
stitution to authorize popular vote on
the proposition. because all due pains
have been taken to see that nothing Of
the hind got into the constitution.
Nevertheless, does it not seem as if the
fellows to whom it win be left to do the
Aehting and the bleeding and the dying,
e the limping, after war, if they hap
nm 70 survive, ought to have something
o say in the matter-at least as much
q TIE fellow citizen whose maximum
service In time Of war would be repre-
sutsd by a public speech or by the
pubucation Of newspaper!
When the European war broke out,
there was no provision in law and ma
chinery for an expression on the part of
any German, Hungarian. Russian, Eng
ushman or Frenchman whether he fav-
ored his country's entrance into a
slaughterfest.
All that was left for the common
herd to do was to give up their places
II the fields, the factories and shops, bid
their families farewell, pick up guns
and present themselves in the battle
lines Is targets.
Consequently we have heard much
abuse of their governments and their
crowned leaders, coupled with opinions
tha& IF the poor devils in the trenches"
or something like that, had their say
about it, they wouldn't be there
II is our own opinion that if it could
have been left 10 those who are stand
ing the real brunt of the war, they
WOULDN'T be there.
They are there because they cannot
help themselves.
They are there because SOMEBODY
has had TO do the fighting
In all countries there are at ali times
many times many who are great on honor
and respect for the flag when there is an
oct committed against it AWAY FROM
HOME, but who are not nearly so keen
for service ON the firing line.
So just suppose (you know, just pre-
tsnding) our constitution DID provide
Tor referendum before the country
could be plunged into a war, how much
better everybody would feel about It. if
possessed of the knowledge that every
man participating acted of his own free
will, so EXPRESSED.
With how much more pride and pa
txiotism could we point to our flag a.
representing this advancement over the
royalty-controlled countries over the
seas.
But to be thus satisfied We would have
to adopt, of course, the plan that has
been proposed by those who were first 10
