this when the things we hold most
dear are imperiled it is especially
necessary that We be watchful for
errors. No human administration
could be free from errors, and per-
lection in every: detail - not to be ex-
pected in a task of such tremendous
magnitude as that in which we are
now engaged. For this reason criti.
cism should not be captious. There
should be no nagging fault-find!ng
from any source. But real errors,
errors that in any way seriously affect
our efficiency or our spirit, should be
pointed cut and proper influence

particularly the duty of the peoples
representatives to be both p%atriotical-
ly Watchful and coursgeousiy frank.
But in this hour they should speak
and act solely as representatives of
the people, never as "a representatives
OF q party. No party action in rela.
ton to this war and in opposition to
the administration can escape the
suspicion and the charge of partisan
purpose unless it comes in response
to the plain and ihsistent demand of
the great body OF the people. The
national leadership being fixed and
Interchangeable, organized party OPP
position can be in effect nothing less
than partisan a%ntagonistn to that
leadership, an antagonism weakening
and destructive to the nation and en-
%conraging to the enemy. Such a
course will appeal only to those who
set party above country or to those
who are interested in our defeat. The
American people will not bear with
patience & policy Of party opposition
to the government in this crisis.
But, it il argued, the party must be
preserved. Right. And the way to
preserve it ia to devote all its powers
freely, generously and dlsinterestedly
to the victorious contamination of
this cause. The way to preserve 1T ia
to forget party interest Or party ad-
vantage and concentrate our thought
and our influence upon the national
purpose. We sliall come out OF the

our sword lifted. We shall come out
Of the war with equal honor and equal
glory, prepared to play our great part
In the work that must then be done.

dying, nor sick. 1t wasnever greater
than it is now. But If in this supreme

level of a political scold and exerts its
powars toward discussion and not
toward unity it will perish, and it will
