Intolerance
eY Or, FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. By Frank Crane)

We have a pretty big case of con-
science on in the United States. The
overwhelming sentiment of the country
has forced Us into war. Congress has
declared it, 1t is the duty of all Amer
leans TO stand by the expressed will of
their representatives, each to DO what he
can to insure his country's success. ~
But there is a large number Of people
who were opposed TO our taking arms,
and who conscentiously believe that our
difficulty with Germany might have been
better settled some other way.
To call these people names. to accuse
them of being Germanophiles, or trait
ors, or enemies to their country, TO give
the word "pacifst' sneering twist, as
tho all who strive for peace do so be-
cause they are cowardly, this is not only
intolerance, but cheap and nasty intol-
erance.
| ann a pacifst, and shall be proud to
wear the title to my dying day be-
lieve that war is colossal stupidity, the
result of the great illusion" under
which the backward-minded govern
hents of the nations rest.

many however because in the present
crisis there is no other way out for us.
Any government is criminal that does
not protect its citizens to the limit Of
its powers
Furthermore, the irresistible logic Of
events shows plainly that no peace is
possible with a government like the pres
ent one Of Germany. which substitutes
self-interest for humanity and morals,
except its destruction. | am for war
with Germany precisely as / would favor
shooting a mad dog or catching bur-
glar
But this does not at all mean that my
opinion of national mihtarism has
changed All thru this war we ought to
be getting ready for permanent peace.
We ought to line up with the allies with
the constant intention of forming with
them q League Of Peace, the beginnings
Of a civilized world government. when
We have settled with the diSturber Of the
peace When we get thru with this ter
rife struggle | believe the democracies
of the world will be in the saddle. and
we can take steps toward general dis
armament II Russia, France, England
and America will stand together after
the war We can rid the earth of its aw-
ful incubus of ornaments We can then
have a preparedness by mutual agree
ment, which is a million times cheaper
than preparedness by arming each ma
tion 20 the limit
But there are many Of my fellow pa
cifsts who do not follow me- They are
as loyal as l. They are entitled TO their
opinion. This is free country, even in
war time. It is no place for violent in
tolerance.

Wanted-A New Field
For a Worthy Man Whose
Ability We Recommend


This is liner ad. which We have de-
cided to move to this column to show our
contempt for the Osler theory.
Besides, We are somewhat interested in
Detroit man whose extremity demands
the very position you may have TO give
him.
He didn't come into the Office with
his ad.
We met him on the street.
We had met before on the street, or
when he had come to The Times Office as
a visitor
He has been identified for number Of
years with the insurance business, as a
solicitor.
He is well known.
Always a supporter Of The Times and
its policies. his enthusiasm brought him
with word of encouragement and cheer
for the newspapers makers.
But as we met and exchanged greet
ings, with "How are your" we failed to
hear the customary Fine; fine"
What pain in a heart that word fine
often hides from the world.
We had met at the very time when
our friend had reached the conclusion
that he could no longer deceive anybody
when he had resolved that he must put
away pride and unbosom himself.
He stopped and braced himself for the
doing of that from which man will hold
aloof until the very last.
81 am not well, old man" he said.
There is a great deal on my mind.
'I am no longer young man; my
business requires strength Of body, a
ruggedness of mind and a convincing per
sonality that sometimes feel no longer
possess. feel that l am being crowded
out. The returns from my efforts show
it. / am making the hardest kind of a
fight, but the odds are great"
There is considerable tragedy in those
words.
They are particularly tragic as com
ing from one who has cherished asso-
Citations, both business and social, ne
would like to preserve, but who faces
the oncoming of old age with the fear
that all must be sacrificed.
The trouble with this man is that
he has gotten into rut and cannot get
out.
We want to help him get out.
Not a strong man, physically, but
still powerful mentally, there is much
usefulness in him. and what he needs is
new field of endeavor, in perhaps bit
easier road to travel.
The Times does not believe that what
Osler said is true. e..
The Times DOES believe that mans
BEST WORK should be done after he
reaches 40
This man for whom we speak needs
only the association of someone to en-
courage him, and if that someone is
available The Times stands ready to
vouch for character, willingness, trust
worthiness and ability.
If you have the place, something that
does not require great physical strength
either inside or outside, please commu-
nicate with the editor Of The Times
We solicit for man we know TO be
in every sense, worthy.
