WHO is THE TRUE IDEALIST
By Hermann Hagedorn
of The Vig;lantcs

/ know a Paclfist. He Is a slncer'
Pacifist. tie is not pro-German o
Sein-Feiner, but a real, unsubsi
died, conscientious objector t.
war He objects to all wars. He OBJ
jects therefore to this war.
He says that it is time that sons
nation should set an example to the
world in the presence of aggression
by not offering resistance to the az
gressor. Better that the whole ne
ton should be wiped out, its
churches and universities RACED. t.
the ground, its youth slaughtered OF
dragged into slavery, than that Z
people should oppose force with
force and fight for its liberties.
Ny Pacifist expresses these views
frequently A number of people
say: HE is Nut" But surpris'
ing number say: "How beautiful
Of course, his views are impracti-
cal But it is good in times like
these that there should be someone
who clings to ideals"
Whereupon, these honest people
subscribe to Liberty Bonds and do
other things to help wage war
against Germany, for they are on
the whole level-headed citizens. But
once a week they grow sentimental
about the Pacifist.
He is an idealist," they say.
But it happens that that is ex-
actly what he is not.
An idealist is man who believes
that the things you can't see and
hear and touch and taste and smell
are more important than. the things
that actually do strike your physical
senses. He thinks for instance that
love is worth more than money; that
to speak the truth and be poor is
better than to lie and own a limou-
sine; that to be right is better than
to be President. The real idealist
believes that liberty is worth more
than prosperity and comfort. He is
wiling to give up his dollars and his
comfort to preserve it. He even
links that liberty for his children
n other peoples children is worth
more than his own life. H is will
ng to risk his life for it. He, is ev-
n willing to give up his life for it.
The Pacifist declares that he al
% believes that the things of the |
pirit are better than the things of |
he flesh. In fact, he has an idea
hat he is the only fellow who does /
'elieve that. He thinks that liberty |
5 fine. and slavery is awful.
But
When his neighbors are carried /
nto slavery, he scurries into his eel !
ar for fear of attracting the at !
ention of the slave-driver and irri-
ating him with an appearance of
isapproval.
When his own liberty is threaten
d, and not only his own liberty but
he liberty Of his children, he pro-
oses to give up that liberty without
struggle, and moves that the keys
} the front door be formally pre-
ented to the burglar, the cutthroat
nd the ripper.
Does the Pac:eist love liberty
Iore than prosperity and comfort
nd life?
',!'e suspect not
Scarcely.
The Pacifist converses beautiful
. Meanwhile, wrong may tri-
nph, liberty may be quenched,
en- and women may be sold into
avery, art literature and religion
ay be flung back thousand t
.ars. =
"Be it sou cries the Pacifist. ,

. GOVERNMENT IN
JAPAN HIS AIM

Tokyo, Mar. 1.-Undismayed by the
recent attempt on his life, Yukie
Ozaki, Japan's foremost progressist,
will lead the forces of constitutional
ism in the pending struggle for
more representative form Of govern
ment. That was made clear during
an interview which he gave to the
correspondent of the Associated
Press, concerning the political situa-
ton of the japanese empire.
Japanese politics is complicated
even for us Japanese" he said. ITO
make the situation as clear as pos
sible to the American people, let me
say simply that our aim is that the
ministers of state who direct the af-
fairs of this empire shall be chosen
with some regard for the makeup of
the house Of representatives, which
is elected by the people. That is, aft
er all, the essential meaning of our
constitution. For years we have had
a series Of political groups, personal
in nature, vaguely formed, quickly
disappearing. Now the majority

groups led by the doshikai party,
which was founded by Prince Kat
sura, have amalgamated into the con-
stitutiona1 party in opposition to the
other great party, the tseiyukai or
political friends association. There
are subsidiary groups, but the essen
tial is that we have formed two main
units.
"Even now these two parties have
no distinctive principles or platforms,
as they are understood in America or
England. But that will come later.
The important thing is that they have
been formed, and the essential is that
the members of the diet who belong
to them shall be recognized.
The majority party must have a
voice in the formation of q cabinet
and the party form of government
must be the basis of naming a minis

"Now, the great stumbling block to
constitutional progress in Japan" Mr.
Ozaki continued, 'is the genro, or

of the first Matsukata. They began
to advise the emperor and they have
