THE OBTUSE SPEAKER

1t Is very hard sometimes to con-
scientiously credit some in public life
with serious convictions in the courses
they pursue on questions Of vital mo-
ment 10 the country, but The lnteili-
cencer has done this in spite OF some
persistent doubts. But no just person
can entirely ,absoIve Speaker Clark
from the suspicion of prejudice and an
obstinate irritation instead of attrlbu-
ting 10 him a clear vision on the selec;
tive draft question. His splencuc out
bursts certainly warrant us in taking
another measure Of the man than that
which has heretofore given him stat
ure in his own party. 1t. takes more
than a reputation for good fellow
to make a statesman.
One of Speaker Clark's warmest per
sonal and political friends, the brilliant:
Henry Watterson, was much dis
tressed over his announced intention
to vote against the selective draft, and
in Il kindly message to him warned
him that persistence in his reported
intentions would surely return to dog
his political future and bar his use.
fulness to public life. Mr.. Watterson
closed with these really touching and
appealing words:
Il am distressed that YOU cannot see
your way TO this view, but seem about
TO ally yourself with policy OF OBJ
struction which can only embarrass US
and aid the enemy. and it is in deep
solicitude for our country and sincere
affection for you that l venture to Oh
Itrude this protest"
In going against such sincere, friend
ly admonitions and the vigorous pro-
tests of his own constituency Mr.
Clark has shown n mental obtusencss
rarely developed in public service in
this country. However, it is the Speak
er's own funeral. and he himself has
set to work 10 dig his own political
grave. And few will be left to mourn
him.

might be used to so good advantage
right there in Pennsylvania"
There is nothing in this really weak
contribution TO the general calumny
against the Pennsylvania Senator, ex-
cept that it reflects on his personal
honesty, joining with the other jour
nalistic rats that have been gnawing
on his public record Intellectually Cor
years past. Senator Penrose may be
no saint. but so far none Of his de-
tractors has been able to make any
dent IN his personal integrity. Fle has
fought his way to success by his own
efforts, and because he has achieved
success he with many others are made
the sport of those who have achieved
nothing but failure, and who do not
merit anything but the contempt OF
! their fellowmen.

Thee seems 10 be SO much misunder-
standing about what universal mll!'
tary training and service really means
that want TO say word OF eXplana-
ton. But frat let me impress, as deep
ly and as earnestly as ! know how.
that nobody wants war. Nobody wants
war any more than he wants append
citis, or tuberculosis. or any OF the
other scourges OF humanity. Unfor-
tunately, however, we aren't always
asked whether We want war or not.
War is thrust upon us: rs sickness is
thrust upon us. And when they come
all we have it in our power to do is
to fight. as best we may, for our lives
or for our health, as the case may be.
1t is fact not generally appreciated.
but Il fact, nevertheless, that, accord
ing to the constitution OF the United
States, all boys and men. from the
ages OF Is to 40, are subject to mill
tary service in times OF war.
This means that when war comes
to us our boys have to 80 70 war II
the country peeds them. We canno:
help II. The fart remains. The fact
rehains further that if they were not
liable for war relentless emery flood
ing the land ms the Germans flooded
Belgiur would force therl into Ii de-
Tense Of their lives.
So that, whether or no, in case OF
war. our boys uust fight.
Now what those that advocate uni.
vcrsal training want. and all that they
want. is that when this fight comes
our boys will be as prepared as pos
sible TO defend themselves, their
homes, their mothers. their fathers.
They want the boys OF America to
