submarine. and in the course Of that
time the U-boat sank two British steam

Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Crane)

We respect your patriotic fervor,
friend, but would remind you that to be
patriot you do not have to revert to
savagery.
Hate, prejudice, and intolerance are
not needed by your country. In fact, In
troublous times nothing is more valuable
than sanity and courtesy.
You can be true American and not
cease to be gentleman.
Charity is good at all times. II has
been said upon the highest authority
that it is the greatest of virtues. And
one of the best forms of il is charity
toward the opinions of others.
And of charity remember the descrip-
ton: Charity suffereth long, and is
kind; vaunteth not herself, is not pulled
up"
IL there is any time when we need to
be tolerant of the views Of others. when
We should not swagger and strut and
brag and threaten. il is when we stand
on the verge of war.
For instance, this is no time TO be
making nasty insinuations about Japan.
The Japanese are courteous people and
should be treated courteously. Nothing
is at once so unworthy of intelligent peo-
pie and so dangerous among the ignor-
ant as race prejudice. There is no rea-
son why our relations with the Japanese
should not continue cordial, and il they
do not the fault will be ours.
There is no reason also why we should
treat with suspicion or abuse German
born fellow citizens. They are not re-
sponsible for the deeds Of the highbind-
ers that are debating the policy of the
German government.
Let us also have done with ugly insin-
uations against one another because we
differ in opinion as to what President
Wilson and congress should do. If /
think we ought to deal promptly and Sc
verely with Germany, that does not mean
that the munition millionaires have
bought me. And if / believe we ought
to go slow and 60 into war only under the
most extreme provocation, that does not
mean that / am German spy.
A little seIf-restraint and ordinary de-
cency would not hurt any Of us.
We are all Americans, and when the
pinch comes we shall all be found stand
ing shoulder 20 shoulder; and let US not
allow the heat of our convictions TO carry
us into shrieking unfounded ISLANDERS and
trying to gain our point by violent and
vicious suspicious of each others mo
tives.

And Jesus Christ Was
the Prince of Knockers"

There is a bunch of sore heads" (de-
ightful world ''in Detroit, says the Very
Rev. Dean Edwards of ST. Pauls cathe-
dral, (which is ready to sacrifice every
thing themselves included) on the altar
Of their personal viewpoint" which
augurs We would say, that they are sin
cere and true believers at any rate.
No half-hearted, luke-warm reformers
should be tolerated.
No person who is not so imbued with
faith in the rightness and goodness of
his cause that he would not consider all
else well lost if he could but advance it
by the fraction Of an inch, is of the
slightest use.
These are the great men and women of
the world.
These are Jesus, Luther, Savonarola-
everybody who has ever made any prog
ress in changing the false for the true.
These are the people VINO are inspired
with something bigger than themselves
for which they are out a willing, glowing
vehicle.
We did not know that We had them in
Detroit, but DR.. Edwards says we have.
He does not like them and calls them
knockers"
He says that to further our own
opinion at the expense of other peoples
achievements is downright folly" which
is a curious statement for a minister of
the gospel to make.
What are the "soreheads" trying to do
today but clean out a system which ex-
PLOTS the masses and give these masses
chance for decent, happy living?
Those who pun down and have no con-
! structive policy, he declares, are crazy,
/ but let us rather pull down the old, fes-
tering institutions which breed poverty
and disease, and leave a clear space open
TO the pure air and sunshine Of heaven
( trusting with that faith he so com
mends) that in good time a better form
Of social structure will replace il.
Altogether DIR. Edwards sermon
sounds like political speech made along
party lines the party in this case being
the capitalist system under which We
are living.
He says that the Kingdom Of heaven
4 is within ones self" Is his kingdom
Of heaven then bounded on the north
I by capitalism, on the east by precedent
on the south by conservatism and on the
west by "let well-enough alone"
