PATRIOTISM
AND.
DEMOCRACY

Address delivered before the Coterie
M Cyril Bailey son Of Mr.. and Mrs
IA Bailey of Paw Paw. He Is q
graduate of the Paw Paw schools and
oof the Literary department of the U.
sof M. He enlisted after graduation
iin the $50 u. s. Ambulance corps of
the army and is now at Allentown,
Pa, expecting to sail for France soon.
The splendid and scholarly address
WAS delivered while at home on a
holiday furlough.
Nothing is more obvious than that
the commitment Of our efforts or a
vigorous prosecution of the war will
mean a sacrifice of some democratic
privileges. 1t will require in tee first
place our acquiescence in strong
Capitalization of government. Private
enterprise must give way to the
government ownership and operation
of some public utilities ir order to in
sure rapid transit and concentration
of supplies; new and hitherto unneces-
-sary departments of government are
created; full public discussion of legis-
lation, considered necessary priv
9ege of democratic government, must
ne curtailed to meet the demand for
rapidity of action in war. 1t is
found necessary to subject vast num-
hers of men to an undemocratic mill
taTy system, where they necessarily
have voice in the selection OF the
officers they are expected to obey.
The contingency of war with its
military machine. its demand for
strongly centralized control, its re-
qulrement of secrecy and the ability
TO strike quickly, its curtailment of
freedom of the press and of free
speech is the strongest support to the
,autocratic form of government.
We admit Their, that in making war
on a large scale We are in the process
for the moment pursuing an undemo-
cratic course. We should inquire what
are our grounds for believing that our
war for democracy will in fact pro-
mote democracy nationally, Internal
.Sonally and systematically.
In outlining the plan of the dis
'cussion it would seem reasonable to
examine first the issues of the war or
rather the facts which made it neces-
sary to go to war in order to protect
our democratic government from des-
trnctlon. In the second place we

conflict Of reason when diplomacy
fails Of its object. l4if
Now the ascendancy of peace In the
world coming as the result Of victory
for our cause, must encourage demo-
cracy by discouraging the contingency
of war which is the strongest support
to autocracy. 1t will encourage the
growth of supernatural democracy by
enabling sane, reasonable men to real
ize the essential nationality of the
democratic form of government. We
are confident that the common man
everywhere will come to believe as
We do, that while democracy may
sacrifice some emergency efficiency, it
insures stability Of government by
training the ordinary citizen to per-
form the functions of government;
and it insures that government being
OF and by the people though slow
will always have as it's aim what is
for the people. We should remember
that the individual is supernatural
and superinternational; the individual
in the ultimate analysis Is the user Of
all the institutions Of government.
We should stand reminded that all the
great and enduring reforms in the
history OF the world have sprung from
the masses, and what becomes estab-
lished as right in the mind of man
becomes in the end the enduring
thing in spite of the Vaccinations of
wrong. Recognizing the issue as a

should review the basis on which we
will make peace, or the. manner In
which the success Of our war aims in
the peace settlement will promote de-
mocracy among the nations. In the
third place it seems desirable to con-
slider the extent in which victory for
our arms will further the establish
ment of permanent world peace, and
how this will promote democracy sup
ernationally, that is to say indepen-
IDENTIFY of nationalism or information
alism.
Let us first then see the manner in
which the ambitions of the German
government menaced our democracy.
And it is necessary to observe with
some closeness the autocratic charater
of the German government. German
international policy is determined by
the Kaiser and the Bundesrath or
Federal Council. The Reichtag, the
only representative body, has no voice
in declaring war and its docility in
following the Imperial will is illus
trated by the fact that Liebknecht was
the only one of the many German
Socialists i'm the Reichstag to oppose
the war appropriations asked by the
Kaiser in August 1914.
The fact that the Reichstag later
voted for peace without annexations
or indemnities did not mean that this
is the peace aim of the German
Government. 1t meant only that the
Imperial Government had availed it's
self of what Bismarck himself called
"The speaking trumpet of the Reich
stag" in an effort to deceive the world.
Germany has been systematically
Prussianized. 1t is true that Ger
many led the world in the enactment
of social labor legislation, such as old
age pensions, workmens compensation
insurance and tho shor. working day.
And the Kaiser proposes electoral r,
form now to make the members of the
more representative of the
people. But these things are fostered
by the government as malevolent acts
of the fatherly Imperial government
to cultivate popular admiration of it
self that it may pursue its irrespon-
Sible ambitions as opportunity offered
by the restrictions of
government of and by the people.
AS national spokesman the present
Emperor early assumed the duty of
Judging works of art, scientific achiev-
nents and eminence in literature and !
thought. This assertion of such
confidence appeared somewhat
1umorously as the exaggerated ego
ism of a monomaniac. However it
developed that without favors from
he Kaiser, public recognition of merit
ecame impossible in Germany, and

the top Of the steps ,Elinor turned.
"You will never know just how sorry
I am" she said, and went through her
garden to the house.
From that Friday morning until the
evening Of the following day Elinor
was quite alone.
Hour after hour she spent pacing the
terrace, looking down into the valley.
On Friday night, unable to sleep, she
threw q negligee over her shoulders
and went down to her garden. The
village slept quietly, but there was a
light in Wards small window near the
church. She remained on the terrace
until the flight was extinguished.
At dinner that Saturday Boroday's

meal. Walter HUI came little late.
