TRUE CITIZENSHIP

Much as we dislike to admit It, there
still exists distinct apathy toward
the war on the part of a great many
people in various parts of the country.
The reason for this is even deeper than
constitutional pacifism or pro-Ger-
manism based upon explainable blood
or mental association. The fact is,
although We did not realize 1t until
recently, the average citizen of this
country has not had instilled in him
real responsibility in and to his gov
eminent. The extreme development Of
the democratic idea in America and
the ultra-pOlitical nature of our form
Of government has resulted in the al
most total disappearance of the appre-
citation by the individual of what the
government means to him.
The changing of this condition Is
possibly the most serious problem fac
ing the United States today, outside
of winning the war. 1t involves a com
plete REIMBURSEMENT and revtallzing Of
our methods of civic instruction. This
work must start in the schools of the
lowest grade. Many men who have
had the advantage of collegiate in
structiOn in political economy, and
even the influence Of the discussion Of
these. matters in high school debating
societies, appreciate the problem. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
by far the greater majority of boys
who later make up the citizenry of the
nation leave school after passing
through only the most elementary
grades
The National Security League. or
ganized at the start Of the war as
preparedness prOganda and now devot'
ing its entire efforts to the awakening
OF the people to realization ri the
meanings of the war and the menace
of defeat has undertaken nation
wide campaign on this question of true
citizenship which is worthy of atten-
ton and support. 1t has enlisted the
cooperation of state, county and city
superintendents of schools In all parts
OF the country to make daily insfruc-
ton on the war part of actual school
tuition. The league has also obtained
the release to It on full pay by the
Boards of Trustees of a number OF the
largest colleges and universities IN me
country of q corps OF professors VINO
are to constitute National Patriotic
Education Faculty" TO carry on THIS
work in the broader field. These men
will create a sort of peripatetic uni
versity, tourneying personally into al
parts of the country to spread this
thought of the necessity Of awakening
the citizenship of the country to re-
sponsibility in its government More
power to the National Security League
end may the nation quickly realize the
Importance of its work!

NEED FOR FIRING SQUAD

1t must have occurred to a pT...
many people, In reading the newspansr
accounts of the lenient methods adont
ed by the government authorities in
dealing with the spy question, that the
plying of this trade by German or
German sympathizer is far safer than
service IN the army of the Kaiser.
The most serious penalty imposed

A man who is convicted of being a

can lives and property is given n

Other men, engaged in subterranean
efforts which might result in the kill
ing of more American boys than could
be accomplished by an entire German
regiment, are pleasantly informed in
quarters where they are provided with
creature comforts unknown to the
young men who are unfolding the
Stars and Stripes In No Mans Land.
The reason for this state of affairs
is hard To appreciate. The country is
at war and war Is not 'civil" matter.
A man who conspires to place a bomb
in an American troop-ship or a vessel
carrying much needed supplies to our
allies is warning against this country
as much (even more, we believe) as
the private or officer in the German
ranks swho is exposed to American
bullets. Why, then, should We treat
these vipers as offenders against the
civil law? Let's order out the firing
