had dragged.
Preparedness Get ready to fight! More
men for the Army More for the Navy!
More battleships More submarines! More
training camps! More guns, more chaplains!
In vain did the unexcited editors ask for
Specifc0tions! The Militarists could not tell
us what enemy threatened
They could not name the nation that we
feared. They could not give one single
reason why we should enter upon immense
military expenditure
Very wisely and truly, President Wilson
said that we did not need it. He set his face
against it. He opposed that turbulent war
rior, Col. Roosevelt He opposed all the jim
goes.
He said that the European War was no
concern of ours.
He said that no reason existed for a change
of policy on our part
Is it not so? You know that it is. In his
Indianapolis speech and others, he put HIM
self sQuarely against the Miltarists, the Pre-
parodness hullaballoo, and the intermeddling
with foreign affairs.
Such was the Presidents attitude in 1914
and 10: afterwards, he completely changed;
and then he went farther the other 1r0y, than
Roosevelt had gOne-and thus he took the
wind out of Theodore's disappointed sails.
In other words, Wilson opposed Roosevelt,
until after it seemed that Roosevelt had the
country with him; and then Wilson put
Theodores nose out Of Joint, by Seeing his
bid, and going him few chips "bettcr."
Isn't this exactly true? Didn't it, in 1915,
seem that the main issue in the Presidential

Didn't Woodrow Wilson change the whole
political situation, in the twinkle of an eye,
by suddenly and completely reversing his own
position?
You certainly cannot have forgotten, that
it did.
From his attitude of stand-pat-ism on Pre-
paledness. Mr. Wilson abruptly announced,
IN public speech, that he favored an en-
larGement of our military establishment, until
ere shou1d h0re tie biggest N0ry IN the acorzd!
In this spectacular purloinage of Roose-
velt's thunder, he left Theodore to a rear seat
on Preparedness.
AS you will remember, the Presidential
campaign opened up, between Wilson and
Hughes. with so slight a difference between
the two, that Hughes at first directed, his at
tacks On Wilson to some minor matters Of
patronage and Civil Service
There was SO little to talk about, that Will

Then Roosevelt pitched in, and he spured

Consider that /!

Consider tnat
The President goes in person to tell the
Senate, that in December 1916, he had taken
it upon himself, on behalf Of all the neutral
nations, (and mankind) to write the same
note to all the belligerents- Germany, Aus
tria, Turkey, and Bulgaria, as we'll as Eng
Aand, France and Italy-asking them TO
state the terms upon which they would
deem it possible to make peace"
Stop a moment, right there!
In writing this "identic note" to all the
belhgerents, the President must necessarily
have been honest, in his professions Of de-
sire to act as peacemaker.
You must likewise take it for granted that
he had an honest desire to maize peace, else
justifabe.
present attitude, when you credit him for
honesty and earnestness, IN January
If he could have succeeded with his peace
efforts, in December and January, he would
have left mankind in the lurch, unredeemed,
unregenerated, unemancipated from unlVer-
sal Militarism and other thralldoms.
On January %, 1917, the President had
not consecrated billions Of American dollars
and millions of American lives, ito fight for
the ultimate peace of the world and for the
liberation of its peoples; for the rights OF
nations great and small, and the privilege
of men everywhere to choose their way Of
life and obedience"
("Men everywhere" does not include the
ten million American conscript8 Or the
American freemen who are in jail, for having
presumed to think that they were free 'to
choose their way Of life and obedience.O
On January %, 1917, the President was
honestly intent upon leaving the Kaiser and
Germans to settle it between themselves, as to
what sort of government Germany should
have, dynastc, militaristic, or otherwise.
In Jan, 1917, he was not willing to send
armies to Europe in the interest of'England,
and to prevent the Germans from completing
the Berlin to Bagdad railroad.
In January, 1917, we were not frightened
by the spectre of German invasion, and we
we're not concerned about the books which
German writer's had published.
In short, had England been willing to meet
Germany in a Peace Congress-, five months
ago, our President was willing to let by-gones
be by-gones, and to let Militarism, in Ger
many and elsewhere, remain on its throne!
To express the same thought another way

crime against u.s. against humanity, or against
democracy, that the President THEN con-

What has happened to change the Presi-
dents mind since January 22nd?
Name 1t!
You cannot do it, nobody can: there is
something hidden from our view, and we are
CROPPING in the dark.
But let me call your attention to another
portion of the Presidents January speech:
Is the present war struggle for just and
secure peace only for a new balance Of power?
If it be only struggle for balance Of

See how shocking a change has come over

At his instance, submissive Congress has

million American fathers are harassed
and tormented by the prospective loss of their

Ny GOD! WHAT IS ALL THIS FOR?
What awful change of actual conditions

What horrible provocation has been given
us, since Wilson kissed the Book, four months
ago?
Tell the plain fathers and mothers, whose
sons are practically condemned to servitude
and foreign sacrifice, WHAT IS THE REASON FOR
ALL THIS
In December last, the President proposed
to act as mediator, in the ending of the War;
on January It'll, he was sending the German
Emperor messages of good Will; on January
%, he went before the Senate and repeated
his preachment for peace, saying, that there
should not be a victory for any of the ma
lions, but a peace which should be the agree
ment of equals, leaving "no stings, no re-

after disturb the tranquility Of nations.
Let us get our facts straight n01O, for the
time swiftly approaches when passion will
overflow the truth.
On Jan. p, 1917, President Wilson was
more than 60 years DID, only 3 months younger
than myself: if he and have not yet reached
the age of wisdom, we never will.
What did he say, in his carefully prepared
address to the y. S. Senate-and to 'man-
kind"-fro months ago.
I use the word "mankind,' because Mr..
Wilson has filled my head with it.
It is Wilson's pet word: the subject of all
his oratOry is, 'mankind."
Sometimes, [ am almost persuaded that
Woodrow Wilson considers himself sort of
Universal Guardian for the Human Race
He is not mere Presidential Limited, con-
fined to American road-beds, and carrying
passenger intra State and Interstate in this
Union but he is a kind of international
Pedagogue, commissioned from on High to
regulate the worldwide affairs Of "mankind."
Let me beg you to take little time and
patience for refreshing your memory as to
what the President said to the Senate-and
to manhind-on the shank of January this
gear.
The President began as follows

will be encamped for the next week or
