An Issue Between
Aut0cracy and Democracy
Is a Spiritual Combat

Autocracy demands the sacrifice of
everything to material necessity.
The end sought, noble or base, becomes
God, and it becomes legitimate to de-
stroy hospital ship, a passenger ship,
or women and children, or anything else
precious or sacred.
Such things become legitimate because
autocracy is law unto itself
Autocracy must be merciless and
shameless, else it undermnes itself.
It must rely upon material things. be-
cause it asks of its tools sacrifice of all
spiritual sentiment. German autocracy
could cheerfully and consistently dec
crate the commander who murdered the
women and children of the Lusitania,
for the reason that he executed the law
of necessity, and necessity knows no law
save that of autocracy.
The end justifies the means.
Might is right.
This is materialism, without equivoca-
ton and stripped of all degrees Of am
biguity.
Democracy is an appeal to the spirit
ual.
1t requires loyalty to ideals that pro-
mote high aspirations
1t requires suppression of selfshness
and the jealousies of private interests.
The individual is not debased. but il
is required of him that he be better and
stronger than ever before, for the good
Of all. The purposes of democracy are
peace. progress equality, justice, frater-
nifty and the greatest possible opportu-
nifty for happiness.
Appealing to such ideals of men. de-
mocracy has its laws that are not abro-
gated by immediate necessity.
II knows mercy.
II kills TO save.
It recognizes that, after all, in spite of
variety Of color and race, all men are

JOSEPH DEBAR.
President
President Debar's appeal didn't get
hearing from The Times for the follow
ing reasons:
The Times does not carry the adver-
Using of whisky manufacturers, is not IN
the pay of whisky manufacturers and
does not have to take orders from whisky
manufacturers;
The Times does not feel called upon
to consult the interest of any bank or
banks dependent upon the whisky traffic
for their existence;
The Times does not feel called upon to
consult the interest of any distiller, any
bonding company or any individual de-
pendent upon the whisky traffic FOR eX-
isience.
The Times does not believe in the trai-
fic. wants to see the war over just as
soon as possible, believes that we need our
maximum of strength and efficiency, and
believes that not only whisky but that
beer and light wines should be banned
for the period of the war and forever
thereafter.
The Times did not give President De-
bars appeal hearing or first thought
because The Times favors cheaper bread
and believes that bread will be cheaper
when the wheat that is now going into
spirituous liquors, to make men drunk, Is
made into -four, to feed the pauperized
families of drunkards.
The Times is not printed in the inter-
est of whisky or whisky manufacturers.
The Times is printed in the interest
of HOMES.
What we would like to know is, how
did President Debar come to send his
appeal to us?
The whisky people, it would seem,
haven't revised their list of friendly
newspapers in something approaching
two decades.
