x Charles E. Hughes was strikingly apt in
scoining the phrase. "a fighting Constitution"

his enormous powers to-day by the written
authority OF the people. Every organism
must contain within itself the inherent
spowers of existence. or it must die. The

Too Much Ado About Nothing

T must be apparent to anybody that the
so-called Peoples Council of America is an
outfit bent upon obstructing the course Of
this government in the war. Tho group of
men and women composing this organization,
not one of whom was heard of two weeks
ago. are seeking to form into a militant mass
the pacifist element OF our population
The council has been driven from State
10 state. not because they present formi-
dable front or have any dangerous following.
but because they have been unduly adver-
used 1t has been possible at all times for
this small crowd to have assembled un-
hindered In some back room and carried out
every plan which they may have conceived.
But they wanted publicity, and have played
successfully for 1t. They have appeared in
many cities with much sounding Of trumpets
and much matchmaking, declaring they
wanted mass m Getting, a great hall and a
general hurrah. 1t is hard to escape the
conviction that 1t would have been far better
II the whole crew had been ignored It GER
tainly would have avoided such an unfor-
tunate issue as has been raised in Chicago
with Governor Lowden arrayed against Mayor
thompson, and the State roops threatening
violence against the city police There is
nothing In that spectacle that invites admira-
ton or applause. However right the Gov
ernor may be and however wrong the Mayor
may be, it is not inspiring to find the eyecu
tive OF a great State assailing the executive
OF great city oyer a small band of peace
shouters
This Juror gives Infinitely greater comfort
to the enemy and far more encoura cement to
the un-American portion OF our population
than would the organization of dozen
peoples councils of this particular brand
rho action of State Governors in dumping
the pacifists upon each other has given them
exactly the exploitation which they are after.
and makes mountains of mole hills SO small
as TO defy detection. Also. it has raised
an acute issue that now must be met, and
met with incorporating frmness.
