THE WOMAN'S PEACE PARTY.

Under the caption of -Four Lights" the Womar's
Peace party is issuing folder in violent opposition
TO the principle of universal military training. or
seIcctivo CONSUMPTION. which is the particular qucS-
ton before congress and the United States at the
present time.
Here is a section Of the closing argument in the
last section of their latest edition: Upon the out
come of the great debate 'Conscrpion VS.
Democracy depends the question of whether the
last fortress of democracy in the world and the
greatest adventure in human history shall go down
in failure
Is this a correct statement of the problem? Will
democracy be in any way lcsscncd by CONSUMPTION?
1t is hard to believe that the effect Of conscrip'ion
will be to dcmoralizc democracy in the United
States. As a nation We opposed to war and to
any thing which smacks of militarism. After the
European has been concluded it is certain that
if universal training seems necessary in order to
preserve the United States. will adopt form
which will train "a in the rudiments of soldiery,
but will not lay the foundation for militaristic
form of government which will overthrow the
democracy of America
It is hard to conceive how the Woman's Peace
PARTY justifies the construction it places con-
scrip,ion. CONSUMPTION is an ugly word, but though
ugly it democratic from whatever angle it is
viewed There is no advantage, either, in attcmpt
ing to soften the harshncss Of the word. Conscrp
ton means tina, you go to whether You care to
not and that you mobilize when the government
of the United states decides that you needed.
1t appears to If this is the most substantial
Of foundations for the preservation Of democracy.

BLINDFOLDED AND ALONE.

Rlindfolded and alone I stand
With unknown thresholds each hand;
The darkness deepens as gropc
Afraid to fear. afraid to hope:

Blindfuded and alone wait;

And joy is weak and grief is strong.
And years and days long, long.
