Saloon Door Patriotism

\ letter to the New York World is
given below. 1t is not only true of ev-
cry city that supports saloons but has
its counterpart in degree, in cities
hulks that hang about the favorite loaf
ing places and settle all the great prob
lens Of humanity every day. These
patriots can escape the military draft
and they will not work. They should
be conscripted into some sort of pub
lie service.
To the Editor of The World:
l have been reading in The World
recently of the shortage of men to
build ships for our government. Then
in the name of justice why not con-
script the loafers who hang around
the saloons? l mean the loafers who
lsle under the skirts of a wife and
children.
l am An IllShNoman. married to an
American who dates his Americanism
hack to the time of Columbus, per-
haps who when tho bodies of our MUIR
dered soldiers were being washed up
on the shores of Ireland and Scotland
was displaying his patriotism by loaf
ing in and around the saloons in the
neighborhood from two to four days
every other week, and also while his
government is sending out call after
call for men to build ships. This in
spite of the fact that he is a shipyard
mechanic and has employment when
he wants it in one of our best ship
Yards.
Personally see no difference in such
q man and Trotzky. who appears in
this mornings World putting Russia
on the auction block. Such man is
working in the interest of our enemies
and is a traitor and should be dealt
with accordingly. Why should a NOR
ally good man be slaughtered on the
battlefield or sent to the bottom of the
ocean while the drunken loafcrs are
safe at home protected by wife and
children who have to go without food
and clothes in order that the wife and
children of the saloonkeeper NAV be
ted and dressed?
Although | was born in Ireland. AM
erica is ny beloved country ! am
proud OF my children born under the
Stars and Stripes: may ! live long
enough to teach them something their
American father cannot teach-that is
to be Americans.

Patriotism and Intolerance

Persecution OF loyal men because OF
aliegedly indiocreet utteranceS should
be curbed. Many Of US commended
Pres Wilson for keeping US out of war
between the date of the Lusitania crime
and the two years more or less follow
ing. Many loyalists still commend
Wilson for rendering that service but
criticise him severely for failing to pre-
pare in earnest to meet The Huns m
the field The Huns practically de-
clared war against the United States
in sinking the Lusitania. A pro-Ger-
man Pacitist is not peace-maker put
2 traitor. Bolsheviki Pacifism is truss
titled cowardice. The individual VINO
will not defend himself or his family
against a burglar, is not peace maker
but a moral and intellectual IDIOT.
Last night returned Cana dian SOL
diers and others hooted Col. Bf!a'i'
Wilson'S former Secretary of State, ana
refused to allow him to speak at pro-
hibition meeting in Toronto. Col. by
an is not impeccable but he is loyal.
The Colonel did all he could to prevent
declaration Of war. but when the dec
laration was made he stood for BACK
ing it with force and arms. Ford OF
Detroit took the same position. but TIE
more he cried Peace, Peace" the more
the Huns cried War, War" We snail
not increase the number Of patriots ny
identifying dread of war with coward
ice that will not fight.
True, a critic. like the criticised. may
make mistakes but patriots of impulse
require the brake supplied by the
~ ION -
nal.
If there is one coward that is worse
than another it is the fellow who holds
his insolent mouth ready to ling
"German." at any and all who happen
t. cross him in any way In these
ZINES, if there is anything that will
make red American blood boil it is to
be called a pro-German.
The attitude Of the Bates students in
defending their professor. by remem-
bering a tremendously overbalanclns
weight Of things in his favor instead OF
FORGETTING them all and remembering

cial and private life.
Intolerance, and Decentralization
Nv those who do nothing and thus es-
cape a possible charge Of making ell :
ror is doing much to embitter feelings
among those all bent in the same d.-
rection-for driving Prussianism and
it's inh una nisms into the earth out of
sight.
Let us go after those who ARE.
playing the German game in any way.
but let us be very careful how we
convict on slight evidence, those who
arc at heart as loyal as we are. Some
of us are unfortunate in making our
meaning plain, and the blunt facts CT
history sometimes jar in an atmosphere
of patriotic idealism. Let US give Prof
Tubbs the benefit of his past good work
and not convict him publicly until he
has had a fair trial before the heads Of
his institution.

peoples in times Of peace seem to have
no aptitude for war; but let war come,
the national temperament undergoes
immediate change. All difference OF
opinion gives way to one common in
terest of the whole nation. Patriotism
dominates every other human impulse.
Such is the lesson taught by the history
of England and of the United States.
That thoughtful German minds should
have overlooked these characteristics
of the people Of the two great nations
they anita Gonized is inexplicable. ex-
cept on the supposition that they were
so blinded by their conceit that they
saw nothing in the path Of their ambi-
ton. Whenever I have read the history
of the United States or of England,
have admired the patriotic spirit that
never failed to respond to love of coun-
try This impression was strengthened
by my recent observations.

The Playful Hun

(Fred j. Hall, in New York Tribune
Treat kindly all the German spies,
For they are gentle creatures;
1t would not do TO muss their hair
Or mutilate their features.
And if one blows a factory up,
Remember he's Hun
And isn't really bad at heart
And does it just for fun.
And if he sinks ship at sea
And browns our soldier folk,
Let not our angry passions rise,
But treat il as joke.
And when he murders, lies or steals,
Don't try to make him rue it:
He really does not understand
That he ought not to do il.
It's just simple, kindly way
He has to show his joy;
So gently pat him on the head
And call him Naughty boy"
Tis very wrong to lock him up.
Or even damn and curse him;
We ought to give him all he wants
And coddle him and nurse him.
So let us try in every way
To please the playful Hun.
And never think to punish him
For anything he's done.
