SACRIFICIAL
PAClFISTS
(Chicago Tribune.)

(Chlca8O Ir1nune.)
We do not wish to question the pur-
ity Of Mr.. Bryan's 1awless emotion of
patriotism. Mr.. Bryan has sprung in
the direction of arms, a portly and
parochial gentleman, far above mill
itary age and physically incapable Of
military service. He means we'll, and
we are sure has a noble glow in his
soul.
Meaning well is an inexcusable vice
which seeks to absolve itself. Mr..
Bryan is as many, many other
rhetoricians In the United States.
When they might have offered some
thing which would have been of value
to the nation-sound counsel-they
refused and offered bad. Now that
they have nothing to offer they offer
something less than nothing, Them
selves.
They r not Of the slightest use
now. They have been Of the greatest
detriment to the nation because the
nation has listened to. them. Mr..
Bryan is a powerful influence. He
has preached and prayed against pre-
~raredness. \ Ee has corrupted the rea-
son of many Americans. He has talk
dreds of thousands Of credulous peo-
pie. who have accepted the error or
his thought as if it were truth raised
from the well.
The things which Mr.. Bryan might
have done we'll he has done badly.
The thing which he could only do
badly he offers to do enthusiastically.
When and where he was powerful, he
worked against the good Of the ma
ton. Where and when he would be
powerless, he offers to work for 1t.

THE CONGRESSIONAL VACANCY

Within a short time a special election will be held
in the First congressional district Of this state to fill the
place in the North Dakota delegation recently made va
cant by death. There are some things to be borne
steadily in mind in this connection.
Since the last election our nation has become in
volved in the greatest war ever waged on this planet. Ma
ton after nation has entered that conflict, impelled to
such action by reasons more or less local, as well as by
those of q more general character. But as the situation
develops, the local and incidental disappears, and there
stands forth the great fact that the world is being shaken
to its very foundations by the shock os a titanic strug-
gle between the forces CT autocracy, seeking In q last des-
perate enterprise to strengthen their grip and to secure
to themselves for generations an unlimited and irrespon-
sible power, and the forces of democracy, seeking to es-
tablish for all time on this earth the right of human be-
inss to enjoy the blessings of free government and to en-

A SUBMARINE BLOCKADE

1t 10 expected in Washington that. Germany will
announce a blockade Of our Atlantic ports. We may Took
upon such action with the utmost composure. It 10 true
that a port which 10 blockaded is placed under some ais
advantages. And the country. a considerable number Of
whose ports are blockaded. may find itself hampsred,
according to tho effectiveness of the blockade. in the
conduct Of its business.
But even under these conditions, the United States
will suffer little, II any, moro than she has already suf-
fered. or than she would have suffered had she accept
ed without question the rule Of the German government
announced on the last day Of January.
The action of Germany at this time was. in tn effect,
a general blockade Of American ports. That was not the
form. Of course But it forbade American commerce
with Great Britain and France. the two European coun-
tries with which our trade relations have been closest.
In other words. we were to be permitted to trade
where and how and when we pleased. so long as we did
not buy from or sell to the nations with which the vast
bulk Of our foreign trade was carried on.
The result Of accepting this would have been to de-
moralize the entire business of the country. And, be It
remembered, the munitions business, of which 20 much
has been made in public comment in the past, IL but one
of our side lines. The greater share Of our exports are
Of foodstuffs, and the greatest increases In exports dur
ing the war have been in foodstuffs. There have been
increases In many other lines, but the increases in bulk
and value Of foodstuffs overshadow all others.

"Robin Hood"

robin Hood" the best comic opera
America has produced. will be sung
at the Metropolitan theater Wednes-
day. April 18.
The story Of this popular and ar
tistic success is based upon the old
English tale of Robin Hood and his
band of outlaws, a story used by Sir
walter Scott in his famous novel Of
lvanhoe. The romance Of this pic
turesque bandit possesses q charm
which can never die, and in the opera
of Robin Hood" Reginald de Koven
has given the world a musical setting
as immortal as the wonderful story
itself. The delightful melodies are as
appealing to the musical public today
as when first sung, and the oppor-
tunity to lear this beautiful music
again is distinctly a privilege.
1t Is a pleasure to announce that
this master piece, which demands the
finest vocal talent, will be sung in the
coming production by artists Of the,
first class. Among them is Ivy Scott.

THEIR SOLE ENEMY
(From Chicago Herald.)

The sentiment against Germany re-
ported from various Latin-American
republics of South and Central Ameri-
ca shows that those governments
have sense enough to know the only
quarter from which any real danger
has threatened them.
1t is certainly mot Great Britain.
which claims to havt suggested the
Monroe doctrine and Whose fleet has
been its principal safeguard. thai is
lusting greatly after South American
territory at h expense Of those re-
publics. Since the days of the holy
alliance Great Britain has been fairly
content with decent trade relations.
1t is certainly not France, cordially
in sympathy with Great Britain and
the United States for a long time, that
has been waiting the day to establish
itself further on this side of the Allan
tic. 1t is assuredly not Italy that
threatens any Latin-American repub-
lie. Nor Russia-least of all the Rus
sian democracy. +.
1t is not without Significance that
Brazil, the Latin-American republic
with h largest German settlement,
Is the most outspoken of the South
American states against Germany.
She understands particularly we'll
what Germany would like to do and
will do il she can get a chance.
Latin-America is not yet blind.
