THINKING AHEAD

TvvIDENCES are everywhere to indicate
Ithat the world isn't going through the
firs without some slight occasional Attic
ton of nerves. Straight thinking is at
times q bit difficult. Senator owens sugs
gestion In the Senate yesterday Of formal
commercial boycott to be enforced against
Germany after the war by a new agree
ment among the Allies shows that unwis
dom can be conspicuous now and then
even In Washington.
1t 10 Senator Owens belief that the
threat Ct such a boycott would bring the
Kaiser almost instantly to his mailed
knees. The immediate result of such an
agreement would be stiffening of public
opinion in Germany and strength in the
wavering policies which have been weak
ening steadily in opposition to the frank
honest and decent processes of the Presi-
dents diplomacy The wiser statesmen of
the Allies denounced a similar suggestion
when 1t was advanced in the Paris confer.
ence at the inspiration of the British Board
of Trade.
The future Of the world will not be de-
cided by the war. 1t will be decided by
the nature OF the peace that follows war.
A boycott against any one. nation would
give to all the people Disseminated against
the unfailing inspiration of martyrdom
Moreover the isolation of Germany would
be adequate to justify in the minds o. the
population most of the lies that they have
been hearing from the throne and the For
eign Once. Another argument against the
proposed Isolation of Germany is in the
fact that such a boycott would be undemo-
cratic. And 1t is to be hoped that this
war vii. be waged even in he peace par.
lays as war for democracy.

THE MUTINY IN WISCONSIN

THE large pro-Germsn vote cast in
= the Wisconsin primaries is disgrace
not only to the State but TO all America.
II is not mtigated by the nomination
Of Lenroot by the Republicans and OF
Davies by the Democrats, both support
ers Of the war. Lenroot's lead over
Thompson, the La Toilette candidate, is
so small that the genuine Americans in
the State must get together before the
election. The forces of Americanism
must not be divided
Germanism has thriven in Wisconsin
because politicians, seeking their own
political advantage, have pandered to it.
They have been unwilling to denounce
divided loyalty for fear that they would
lose votes. They have nursed the citi-
zens of German ancestry, have coddled
them and have said nice things about
their love of the fatherland. Their con-
duct has been that Of traitors to their
own country.
There is no room in America today for
any German sympathizers. A man is for
us or he is against us. He cannot be on
the fence. There has been too much
pussy-footing heretofore when dealing
with the admirers of the Kaiser That
must come to an end and at once. Where
division between Republicans and DEM
ocrats is likely to produce such a di-
vision between Americans and Germans
that the Germans can win, party lines
must be broken down so that the sheep
may be separated from the goats.
There is no question of respecting the
rights of the minority involved, nor does
the issue of free speech have any stand
ing. The great mass of Americans are
behind the President in the conduct of the
war. The comparatively small number
of German sympathizers, whether of ma
tive stock or of German descent, have no
more right to be heard in the great crisis
than have mutineers in an army. The
nation is committed to policy. It's
son are laying down their lives that that
policy may be carried out Every Amer
lean worthy the name will support the
men at the front, will hearten them by
backing up the efforts of the Govern
ment to re-enforce them and will talk
and act Americanism at every opportu-
nifty. The others will be wise if they keep
silent We are called upon to make great
sacrifices and there will be no patience
Will dlly Ote WIN dlltHlplS W tllooS
sacrifices greater by starting a fire in
the rear. ~
The time has come when every loyal
American with a German name should
cease to think of himself as German in
any way. There is no place for hyphen-
ism. Compounding citizenship is worse
than compoundng felony.
The opportunity has presented itself
for Wisconsin to set an example to the
rest of the country now that the results
of La Toilette pro-German propaganda
are made manifest. The condemnation of
the Senator by the State Legislature was
not enough. 1t must go further. Social
ism, serving as a cover for pro- Ger
mSaism, has no more rights than La
Folletteism. This, too, must be demon
strated in Wisconsin if we are to be
saved from complications which every
friend of orderly government must look
forward to with apprehension.
The test of Americani1m just now is
loyalty to the President of the United
States and not loyalty to the Kaiser.

WAR WORK AND SUNDAY

THE robust manner in which the Rev
Or. John watchorn threw Methodist
traditions to the winds and the celerity
with which the Methodist Conference Of
Philadelphia swung after him in the dec
laration that Sunday must not be regarded
as . day OF rest SO long as there is war
work to be done was adequate to show
how thoroughly the thought Of the time
has grasped the main issue in it's full
difnensions.
The earlier rules under which Sunday
was observed as q rest day for reasons Of
piety were founded on experience more
profound than any that can be crowded
Into the life Of one advanced thinker. The
woria has learned the true value OF this
and many other restrictions which for
t4erfy owed their existence only to the
Gpof)er faiths and beliefs inherited from
olees times than ours.
