FROM ADDRESS OF
COL. ROOSEVELT AT
SARATOGA SPRINGS

The events Of the past year and
half have shown that Repub-
Iican Congress is necessary.
This country needs Congress
which, will give the Administration
vigorous support, and yet viii
fearIessty supervise and when
necessary investigate what is be-
ing done.
"Since the war began the Re-
pubIicans in Congress have acted
in a spirit of the largest patriot
ism, and wholly without regard to
questions Of politics.
"Where the Administration was
wrong, the bulk Of the Repub-
lieans ventured to withstand it
and have stood by the country.
whereas the bulk Of the Democrats
have not done so.
"The men elected this fall
should not only be absolutely
loyal but possessed Of broad vi.
sion, sound common sense, high
character and unyielding resolu-
ton; for they must grappIe with
tremendous international ques-
tons. A tinid man, a half heart
ed pacifist may do as incalculable
harm as the demasoeue or con-
scienceless political trickster. And
Of course no disloyai man and no
man Of merely luke warm loyalty
should be chosen. no matter what
the ticket on which he runs"

THE MAD UNDER DOG.

Germany is beaten, bare of materi
ais, bare of all credit, pretty bare even
of food, with hundreds of thousands of
dead, the taste of humiliation and re-
probation in her mouth, dependent all
round upon such terms as her enemies
may grant. Truly, hard case! For
more than a hundred years no other
big nation has been so decisively the
under dog.
Take only the. German testimony, ex-
Guiding all other. BY that testimony it.
self there was a time-in July, 1911
when the fate of the world lay in the
hands Of the German government. 1t
was Austria's ruthless ultimatum to
Serbia that started his war, an nlti-
matum which implicitly involved Ger
many. Accept the statement of the
German government that it did not
want war; still, by its own testimony,
it sat by while its partner Tipped the
coin that would bring war if it fell
tails up.
The German government knew that
beyond question. 1t raised no caution
airy finger. Say it did not want war.
That can mean nothing else than that
it expected to bluff Russia again, as
Germany and Austria had bluffed her
few years before over Bosnia and
Herzegovina-the Kaiser boasting of
it afterward On its own testimony 1t
took a gamblers chance OF war. All
the ensuing death and woe the world
over run back to that
The German government committed
crime for which PREPARATION in any
scheme of. existence within human ex-
perienee is oat of the question. In Att
til4's time they attempted a crude sort
OF reparation by slaughtering the pop
ulation of conquered territory.
But reparation is utterly out of the
question. Germany's hard plight must
be viewed intelligently. Before sym
pathizing with an under dog, it is right
to know whether it is a mad dog

And the women of America will not
be content to have these opportunities
handed out to them, either grudingly
or patronizingly, as though they were
inferior or unworthy.
This war has shown that women are
equal to about every task which men
have been called on to perform, and
that physically, mentally and morally.
they hold their own with the average
man-and in some respects they have
shown themselves to be superior.
In the working out of community
problems, which affect the home, the
school, the church, and the factory
women can render superb service.
But they will do their best work in
a genuine democracy-not under a
man-made system that either toler-
ates them or processes to be amused

the suffering, to assist the weak, to
forget wrongs and remember benefits
Ito love the truth, to be sincere, to
utter honest words, to love liberty, to
wage relentless war against slavery in
all its. forms, to love wife and child

love the beautiful in art, i Nature, to
cultivate the mind, to be familiar with
the mighty thoughts that genius has
expressed, the noble deeds of all the
world, to cultivate courage and cheer
