A STICK IN THE WHEEL OF CIVIL
lZATlON

Ida NJ Tarbell is one of America %
greatest women She stands in the
forefront Of writer's on history
economics and political science, being
recognized as an authority in these
fields. Miss Tarbell thinks clearly
and writes clearly upon any topic
which she chooses to discuss. We
commend to our readers the following
article which she wrote for The Wig.

"Playing cutie fish, as Lincoln
called it, is one Of the commonest
tricks in polemics. In attack, in de-
tense, in escape, your partisan cuttle-
fish can throw out its black fluid,
darkoning facts until the straight line
Of reasoning is in a hopeless tangle.
A favorite form of this sort of polemic
trickery is obscuring the issue by de-
claring your opponent has no policy
Lincoln, the openest of reasoners,
he who at every point in an argument
took almost Quixotic pains to make
his meaning and policy clear, Was
forced always to keep an eye open
for this particular cuttle-fish trick It
was played ON him constantly in the
Civil war by the northern pacifists.
They wanted his terms He had stat
ed them repeatedly from the start

that alone,
Every great contest breeds a school
Of this pestiferous cuttle-fish. We
have them -darkening our troub-
led waters with their "We-don'tknow-
why-weare-fighting ink. They want
terms" and threaten to hinder the
war in every way possible until they
get them
There are two ways of explaining
the people who today declare that we
have been hurried" into this war and
that we don't know what we are fight
ing for one is that intellectual blind
ness--that ability to think what you
want to think, to see no more than you
