Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass hit out straight from the shoul-

now that the guns are cooling, are
unwilling. to pay for American victory
He said:

Could Stand II.
Consider IL the war had lasted an
other year what would have been our
state. Instead of sixty thousand dead
we likely would have had hundreds of
thousands. In time we might have
equaled the record of France, with
her two million slain. And yet some
OF US grumble because the government
must spend further money to main
tain the comfort and bring home In
safety those boys whose lives we're
spared
fifteen billions OF dollars, expenditure
of which had been authorized and
which would have had to be expended,
with billions OF other dollars, had the
war gone on another year. We all are
glad, OF course, that 1t is not neces-
sary to spend these additional bill
lions, but had 1t been necessary the

I'VE still would have been far be-
hind France in the amount of our

Dollars and Sons.
1T Is incOmprehensible to me that
any OF the men who gave their sons
SO gladly and SO proudly to their
country in its hour OF peril should
turn so quickly to cold and calculat-
ing contemplation of the dollar. Had
the war gone on they would, with
e-ual pride, have offered other sons
and would have continued to give OF
their wealth ungrudgingly. Now that
the coming of peace has restored
their sons to them, will they tighten
up their purse-strings and adopt an
attitude which would seem to say:
Let the go, ernment go hangr
Il think the number OF croakers
relatively Is very small, but their wall
ings and lamentations travel far and

not stout OF heart.
Plain Patriots.
Il do not believe that the plain
people OF America either are fearful
Of the future or distrustful of their
government. When the next loan Is

will understand its necessity and will
gladly meet its requirements.
Plain fathers and mothers through
out the land have not so soon ceased
TO be thankful that the ending Of the
war has restored their sons to them"

On the ISSUE Of
Americanism There Can
Be No Compromise

truthful self-sacrificing, and considerable OF
others.
There are some who imagine that the
greatness of America demands that this
nation act like selfish, intolerant bully.
Having attained wealth and certain IN
fluence, we should use these advantages Tor
our own ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
They speak Of being "a red-blooded Amer
lean" in way that sounds very much like
the boasting of Bowery tough.
If America is to be great 1T must be AZ
gentleman is great. It is as disgusting
for a nation as for a man to swagger.
We cannot play our part in the new COM
pact Of the world unless we are willing to
make sacrifices, to give and take, to allow
other nations equal privileges with our
selves.
There is a good deal of Amercanism
that is no more than German Junkerism,
rafting the saber, Boosting of the SUI
periority of our blood, and the dominance
of our wealth.
Americas crown of leadership is her
devotion to ideals, her unselfish helpfulness,
and the brotherliness of her attitude.
Those who would have us now, after our
splendid beginning in cooperation with
the rest of the world, withdraw and give
ourselves up TO isolation, jealousy and dis
trust, are not real Americans.
They are American Junkers.

Most Of the sins of statesmen grow out
of the root Of all political evil, which is
the doctrine set forth in Machiavelli's
Prince"
The gist of that error lies in the assump-
ton that the standard of morality is not
the same in a state as in an individual.
The idea seems TO be that it Is well for
the private citizen TO be honest, upright
and kind, even If he loses by it, for he can
get his reward in heaven, while the state,
having only an earthly existence, must seize
its profits and prosperity at once.
This was the natural consequence of the
medieval theory that all things in this
present world are necessarily evil, and that
good can be attained only by the compensa-
tons beyond the grave.
We are getting into better theory of
morals. for we are coming TO believe that
righteousness and all the higher spiritual
forces enrich this life, and their rewards
are not all postponed
And in these latter days we are realizing
that a state can no more hope to reach the
fullness Of prosperity and power by cruelty,
lying, and frightfulness than a man can
expect to be strong and happy by trampling
underfoot those virtues that are observed
by weaker folk.
A nation can be great only as an indi-
vidual Is great; that is, by being strong,
