End Assaults Upon the
PEOPLES Patriotism!
lFrom The National Republican,

for land or loot. Only one thought has
appealed to the people-thab OF defend
ing the republic. To this appeal they
have responded msgnincently.
The talk OF general disloyaltY in the
United States is the work OF design
ing agitators who have something In
mind other than telling the truth and
serving the republic. Such men have
been trying to pervert the high and
holy purposes OF war TO the base ends
OF personal, partisan or racial preJu-
dice and ambition. The designing and
malicious men who have endeavored to
use this war TO stir up domestic en-
mites, arouse racial prejudice and ha-
tired, or put over controverted schemes
OF economic reconstruction having
nothing whatever to do with the one
great cause Of winning the war, thus
dividing instead Of uniting the people,
are the Kaiser's best friends In the
United States.

PEACE AND THE TARIEF

ten these words In the current number
OF that Institutions house organ, apro-

rather than lower them. in International
trade. So. the tariff seems destined to
be one Of the big issues after the
war"
Mr.. Sabln's remarks are timely and 10
the point. Even two years ago we were
neglecting the sound advice, In time
Of peace prepare for war but that is
no reason Why, in time Of war, we

Because we are a creditor nation and
because our natural resources are

The press bureaus have had much "a
say about disloyalty among the people
Some Of the politicians have even tried
TO make II appear that so large a pro-
portion Of the population is disloyal
that voting the ticket which won a
plurality in Wisconsin, for instance. is
TO be taken as an evidence Of a fail
ure to pass the acid test of patriotism
There has been a copiOus flow Of piffle
about disloyalty and pro-Germanism, a
| little OF IL warranted, but most OF IL
uttered for selfish personal and parti-
san purposes, or inspired by hysteria.
10 has been a fine advertisement OF ma
tional unity to our enemies; this free
and unlimited coinage Of bunk about a
general disloyalty which exists only In
the imaginatlons OF persons who per-
sst in believing that the only sign OF
patriotism is giving three cheers daily
for every deserving Democratic ONCE
holder In the land, or subscribing to
every bit Of bolsheviki bunk put forth
by politicians who have suddenly be-
come super-patriotic. Some OF those
now engaged In impugning the loyalty
OF others, have not a clear patriotic
record Of their own.
The truth IS that the American peo-
pie have, in this crisis, without regard
to party, creed or race, shown a 10y
atty without parallel in the history Of
this or any other land, and which is
truly inspiring to those who read the
signs Of the times Alright. This is a
cosmopolitan nation, In its composition
unlike any other in the world. We are
moved in this war by no racial hatred.
