to teach patriotism from q platform
In Vermont but because any valu-
able characteristic Is stimulated and

comes TO action there are practically
two steps open to the United States
One is to declare war and send the

ably an army later to join the war
against Germany The other step Is

fort to protect American commerce
and American lives without otherwise
taking part in the war Every Ameri-
can Of whatever breed or birth con

either his patriotism or his courage is
as grave an insult as 10 question the
virtue of woman. Yet there is
varying intensity OF feeling relative
to the present national situation and II
will be good thing to go to the pub
lie meeting and hear the issues. dis
cussed. The Banner in this crisis is
an earnest supporter CT President Will
son. He has been recently chosen as
the head of the nation by the greatest
popular support ever given to any
president. or the ruler OF any land en-
the face OF the globe at any time dur
ing the worlds history. Under the
constitution he is the commander in
chief of cur army and navy. We do
not have to agree with him in all de-
tails, but in the hour OF danger and
apparently coming war we may we'll
stand behind the president Those
who would go farther aud who believe
it our national duty to enter the war
against Germany have right to their
views. Our descendants thousand
years hence will be the best judges.
In the meantime, even in war, we
should be tolerant and forgiving slow

human limitations will permit.

The failure of the United States
senate to pass the Wilson resolution
was due OF course not to the twelve
senators who opposed it but to the
eighty-fiye senators who allowed them
selves to be overridden by an insignif-
cant minol ,ty. A two thirds majority
of the Senate can change its rules at
any time and pass any bill or resolu-
ton. In ether words the United
States senate, even in the face OF a
national crisis, allowed its old and
discreditable precedent to stand in
the way of action. If this disgraceful
failure should lead to change of the
senate rules some progress would be
brought about II Is not the first
time that senate Of the United
States has shown its weakness in re-
fusing to throw overheard an old pre-
cedent which is of no real value.
