TWO TERsE SENTENCES.

If the whole case against the paci-
fist can be summed up in one sent
ence. Mr.. Russell did It in his speech
Monday night at the auditorium,
when he said, in effect that before
there can be any betterment of con-
ditions in this country we must first
make sure that we have a country.
1t lis the rock on which all pacifist
arguments and all Socialist propa-
ganda, break.
And the issue at stake was almost
as we'll summed up by Aubrey Law
renee. who introduced Mr.. Russell.
"This is not q war between peoples
and nations" he said, but a war be-
tween right and wrong. Between
right and wrong there can be no
compromise. One or the other must
60 under.

LABOR AND THE SOCIALISTS.

In speaking to the labor federation
az Buffalo, Mr.. Gompers did not
mince words in dealing with the
Socialist party.
He pointed out that since the
Socialists failed to break into the
federation they had sought to dis
credit It. He accused them Of start
ing the Western Labor union. the
American Labor union. the I. w. w.
and the Peoples Council.
Mr.. Gompers neglected to mention
that Socialists also hold the principal
ofTices in the Nonpartisan league
which now is angling for union labor
support. It was organized by a
Socialist, Charles Edward Russell,
and when Mr.. Russell preferred the
United States to the Socialist party,
the league leaders dropped him.

tween countries and countries, be-
tween races and races, but a war be-
tween good and bad, between all that
goes to make up civilization and
progress upon the one hand, and
barbarism and despotism upon the
other. Therefore Is 1t your war and
my war. therefore is IL your duty and
my duty as 1t is the duty of England
and America. The nation is but an
aggregate of individuals. There can
be no national patriotism without an
individual patriotism. There can be
no national effort without individual
effort. Thus IL becomes our duty to
keep burning In every village and
hamlet and in every town and city in
this country the fires of patriotism
that each and all may be warmed
and comforted thereby and enabled
to see the path of duty.
Lincoln said: This country can
not exist half slave and half free.
Equally true is 1t that the world can
not exist half democratic and half
autocratic. The American flag must
stand In the forefront of this strug-
gle and 1t cannot stand there without
the individual and personal effort OF
every man and woman-every citi-
zen.
We must make it a part Of the
light of the world.
1t has been said.
"'As at early dawn the stars
shine forth, even while it grows
light, and then, as the sun ad-
vances, that light breaks into
bands, and streaming lines OF
color, the glowing red and the
intense white striving together,
and ribbons the horizon with
bars effulgent, so, on the Ameri-
can flag, stars and beams of coll
ored light shine out together;
and wherever this flag comes,
and men behold it, they see in
its sacred emblems no ramping
lion, no fierce eagle, no embattled
castle or insignia of imperial
authority; they see the symbols
Of light. It is the banner OF
dawn. 1t means liberty
When we keep the fires of patriot
ism burning, the light will be so shed
and so thrown upon all the peoples
Of the world and let 1t be understood
as a great woman of this day has
tersely said, the world will go on
and progress only when We have
placed on the Intel of each door in
every land the sign, in blood If it
must be, that the covenant OF the
weak and the unprotected must be
kept
There are some men who stand
mountain high in their patriotism.
There are some citizens who rise
above class in fidelity to their gov
eminent. There are men who call
personal sacrifice for their country a
glory and not burden. One of the
greatest Of these is a man who has
spent his life in a sincere effort to
preach the doctrines in which he
believes. He has by his earnestness
and ability made himself a national
figure but he today has forgotten all
that is personal and is going about
from town to town, from city to city,
lighting the fires Of patriotism. He
is a true Americana real American.
1t is my honor to PRESENT. is your
honor to receive-a real American

THE GREAT LEADER.

With the world hoping for a
strong man" to appear in Russia,
every new leader who appears on the
horizon Is hailed as the new deliver
err.
General RaledInes, the Cossack
leader, is holding the job temporarily.
Probably the chief reason for this
expectancy, is the fact that the AM
erican revolution gave the world q
Washington and the French Revolu-
ton gave 1t a Napoleon.
II there Is any other reason for
expecting a great figure to emerge
from the disorder of the Russian
revolution, 1t is Tolstoy's famous
prophecy. made long before the war
began. Here are two paragraphs
from 1t:
The great conhagration will
start about 1912-in the countries
Of southeastern Europe. 1t will
develop into a destruction and a
calamity in 1914. In that year /
see all Europe in flames and
bleeding. l hear the lamenta-
tiOns from huge battlefields.
Eventually a great Napoleonic
leader will enter the stage of the
bloody drama. He is a man of
little militaristic training, a writ
err or a journalist, but in his grip
most of Europe will remain un-
til 1925.
THE end of the great calamity
will mark a new political era for
the Old World. There will be
left no empires or Kingdoms, but
the world will form a federation
OF the United States Of Nations.
There will remain only four great
giants-the Anglo Saxon, the
Latins, the Slavs, and the
Mongolians".
Since the Teutons are eliminated
from this list Of survivors, the great
leader must spring from the Allied
nations.
To date. the prophecy has been
fulfilled in a rather startling way, but
IL this superman Is to save Europe
from the Teutons. 1t would be en-
couraging to see more signs that he
is getting on the job. Meanwhile it
might be just as well to Keep on
building ships and airplanes.

THE LOST SHEEP RETURN.

The lost sheep are returning to the
fold. II there is more Joy over the
one lost sheep than over the ninety
and nine that are safe, there should
be a celebration over the return of
David Starr Jordan.
This famous educator has been in
the forefront Of the pacifist move
ment. but in a sermon last Sunday
he surprised his hearers with the
opinion that there is no alternative
but to see the war through to a sue
cessful conclusion with full speed
ahead.
Along with this news came the re-
port that Fargo's quondam acquaint-
ance, Max Eastman, had been indict-
ed. They are either coming back to
the fold willingly. or are being drag
ged back. The latchstring hangs out
side for the prodigals yet a little
while.

and the freedom Of the press. The
mere fact that such a protest is
necessary, mirrors conditions in
Petrograd. We can imagine more
healthfuI occupations than running q
pro-Czar daily or even a daily paper
with Kerensky leanings, in Petro-
grad.
This very issue Of political terror
ism has caused the first break in the
Maximalist ranks. To be consistent.
the Maximalists should permit abso-
lutte freedom in the discussion of
political affairs. even to the extent of
countenancing Royalist newspapers.
