Senator BOrdh

 CaII of the Wdr


 In his speech before the United States senate few days ago, Senator Eclsh of Utah made the most thrill ing appeal ever made in America since Patrick Henry's immortal call to the Virginia legislature. Eastern papers carried the Borah speech in full It ought to be read by every man and woman in this land. The Review uses the following and urges every read to learn it by heart:
 Amid the sacrilege of war it is our belief that the old order passeth. In such a contest there is little room for compromise. We can no more quit than Washington could have quYt at | Valley Forge We can no more com promise than Lincoln could have com promised after Charlottesville.
 In other words. MT. President, what ever may have been our opinion in the | beginning of the war, both sides real ize TOW that this is not only war between great nations, involving the | interests of all their citizens, but that it is distinctly a war between sys- tems of government. and it is so rec niZed
 We need not prophecy now when victory will come. Neither is it prof itable to speculate how it will come. | If it is a real and not a sham peace, we will have no trouble in recogniz- ing it when, it does c6me. Whether it shall come in the bloody and visi- ble triumph of arms or, as we hope, through the overthrow and destruc- ton or Tilitarism by the people of the respective countries, we do not know. But that it will come we con fidently believe Indeed, if the prin- ciples of right and the precepts of liberty are not a myth, we know it will come.
 It has been said by some one that it was not possible for Napoleon to win at Waterloo. net on account of Wellington, not on account of Bluech CT, but on account of the unchangins laws of liberty and justice. Let us call something of this faith to our own contest. Let us go forward in the belief that it is not possible in the morning of the twentieth century of the Christian civilization for mili- tarism. fer brute force, to triumph. It would be in contravention to every law. human and divine, upon which rests the happiness and preservation of the human family. It would be to place brute force first in the divine economy of things It would be to place might over right, and in the last and final struggle that cannot be done
 It has often been said since the war began. Mir President. that a re public cannot make war. I srample the doctrine under my feet. I scorn the faithless creed of towards and traitors. If republic cannot make war. if it cannot stand the ordeal O. conflict, why in the name of the liv- ing GCd gre our boys on the western front? Are they there to suffer and die for miserable craft that can clly float in the serene breeze of the summer seas and must sink or drive for port at the first coming on of the storm? No; they are there to de- fend craft which is equal to every conflict and superior to every foe the triumph and the pride of all the barks that have battled with the ocean of time.
 republic Can make war It can make war successfully and triumph antly and remain republic every hour of the conflict. The genius who presided over the organization of this republic, whose impressive force was knit into every fiber of our national organization. was the greatest soldier, 1F the most far-visioned leader and statesman of all time He knew that though devoted to peace the time would come when the republic would have to make war. Over and over again he sOlemnly warned his coun- trymen to be ever ready and always prepared. He intended, therefore, that this republic should make war and make war effectively, and the republic which Washington framed and bap- tized with his love can make war Let these faithless recreants cease to preach their pernicious doctrine
 The American soldier. part of the life of his nation. imbued with devo- ticn to his country. has something in him that no system or mere mili- ,ary training and discipline as applied to automatons of an absolute gov ernment can ever give. The most priceless heritage which this war will leave to war-torn and weary world is the demonstrated fact that a free people of a free government can make war successfully and triumphantly, can defy and defeat militarism. and preserve through it all their indepen- dence, their freedom. and the integ- rity of their institutions.
