The Viewpoint.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
copyright. 1915. by Frank Craue)

What causes most Of the trouble
among US is narrowness. We cannot get
away from our point of view.
Many Of Us see things accurately
enough and honestly stand for the truth
of things as we see them; the difficulty
is we won't walk around them; we per-
sist in locking only at one side. Hence
our heats, hates, and jealousies.
This war we have on hand is a clash
of laundering egotisms; German, Rus
sian, English, each stand in the en-
closure of his own self-conceit. They
cannot rise to a world feeling.
All race hates have the same poison of
narrowness. To despise the Negro. the
Chinese, the English. the French. means
simply not to have travelled, in mind, not
in body.
Our salvation, our mental insight, our
moral justice, lies in universally.
The soul that has tasted the universal
cannot condemn nor hate any creature.
For this reason large reading cures the
mind of its vicious bias. When you dip
in history, science, literature, and art,
you battle in the universal. You come
back TO men and things with a broad
clarity of vision.
Humanity cures the man. The all ex-
plains the particular.

you will get along better in your work.

Read the Nineteenth Psalm and you

a saving sense of remoteness.
People who quarrel are simply people
that cannot get off from their little
standing ground of opinion.
People who fret are people that have
no wings. They are clodhoppers in
spirit. Every soul should own its pri-
vate airplane wherein TO soar above the
mean issues of the actual, and get a
bird's-eye view.

N The nation that goes TO war must go
nook, line and sinker," as they say.
4 Nations that go TO war any other way
are, as they say, also. duck soup for
the enemy.
No matter what we may think about
war; no matter what we may think about
our own country going TO war; no matter
what we may think about the way in
which we declare war-WAR for the
United States is a fact and the United
States must come out of it on top.
We may think that another pitcher
should have been put in; we may think
that somebody should have been called

been substituted for that ice-wagon on
second" but we root, just the same, for
the home team.
Congress has called for our strongest
lineup.
The war resolution reads:
and that the president be and he is
hereby authorized and directed TO employ the
entire naval and military forces OF the United
States and the resources OF the government 10
carry on war against the Imperial German gov
eminent; and to bring the conflict 10 success
ful termination, all OF the resources OF the coun-

United States"
For the very first thing, the country
must be put on basis of 100 per cent
efficiency.
We join the allies of the Entente pow
ers and we owe it to them and TO the
cause for which we shall fight side by
side with them, having declared our in
tention so to do, to stand with them not
only in what remains TO be done but in
what they have already done.
There has been introduced in the
United States senate a resolution that
should be, MUST be passed Immediately
upon the heels of the war resolution to
make the war resolution 100 per cent eff
fsctive.
III it fails to pass, the war resolution
viii be weakened thereby, and the same
congress that passed the war resolution
vim have failed to do its part.
The resolution to which We refer was
introduced by Senator Sheppard of Tex
-, and provides immediate action for
authority for congress to absolutely
prohibit the manufacture, sale or trans
portation of intoxicating liquors"
The war resolution calls for ''the limit
Of our resources" and the resources of
congress permit action by it that will
keep the country sober while it is fight
ing.
Russia banished vodka
France quit drinking absinthe.
England took control of the pothouses.
They did this as countries at war, for
y the limit of efficiency.
Not all of those who will serve the
United States in war will go into the
army and navy.
The majority of those who will serve
will do so at home.
For those at home the saloons should
be closed forthwith, and the manufac-
ture, sale and transportation Of intoxi-
eating beverages be prohibited absolute
