No ROIshsVism Needed ReTe

Inc American people nave proven
themselves to be the greatest wonder
Of the world.
This is tue not merely because
they have, within a period Of but little
over four centuries, converted a huge.
savage Wilderness into the richest and
most powerful OF all nations, but par
ticulsrly beause they have created ant
maintained continuously since It's or
ganiZaton in 1875 government
which stands, and is we'll worthy o.
standing, as a model for all the world.
1t is understandable that people o
other nations, because Of the HimS
structures upon which many OF then
governmental institutions have beer
erected, should driIt blindly or des
perately toward the Niagaranisms- an.
aTchism, bolsheyism, or what not
which confront many governments ir
Europe today, but America need,
none Of thest; for Americans are al
ready free TO do whatever they want Il
do and be whatever they want TO be.
In this great country there is no neeo
nor excuse for anarchism nor bolshev
ism nor any other untried or disc1edit
ed dreams Of overwrough, minds; Tor,
whatever Of happiness or Of freedom o
Of warfare is conceivable by morta
minds is already easily obtainable b,
US whenever fair share Of our people
conclude that they really desire it.
II the American people want to
manage their own railroads or the tele
graph lines or any other American
business or industry they can, by the
quiet and peaceable use Of their ballot
put their available legal machinery in
to motion and the thing is done. In
deed, whatever our people want 10 do
or undo they have butto speak through
ihe ballot and it will be speedily ac
complished either by making, enlorc
ing, or by repeating laws or by amend
ment to the Constitution.
Moreover, this power OF the ballot is
so great that We Americans can, op
short notice at any time, and in a per
tectly peaceable and lawful manner, BY
means Of suitable constitutional amend
ments ahd laws and through the power
Of suffrage not merely change Our statu
tory and constitutional provisions ,o
any extent desired, but we can, il We
so will, go 10 the extent Of repeating
all our laws, and even the Constitution
itself, and set up limited OF absolute
monarchy or any other lorm Of govern
ment, either with OF without a consti-
tuition,
Since, then, under our present form
Of government, we already have this
absolute freedom Of action it would
seem that there can be no justification
nor even excuse whatever for the atti'
tude Of those Who preach or advocate
political creeds or doctrines in conhci
with the fundamental principles Of our
great, free American government.

A League of Danger

ed League Of Nations with all tht
fine lervor Of the prophet. His en-
thusiasm is contagious. But enthusi
asm needs 10 be subjected to COO
scrutiny to separate the practical from
the Impractical.
So carried away is Mr.. Wilson tha,
ha seems TO see, as The alternative tc
his league, only war and devastation.
Il this thing is not doue, he says, all
naJi0ns will be set up as hostile camps
again"
Not necessarily, Without any form
al agreement with Canada, the bound
airy between the Dominion and the
United States is the longest unIortifed
frontier Of any consequence in the
world. Without any general treaty OF
arbitration the United States did not
fight England and France for more
than century. We had no league
with these countries, and the altema,
tive was not war.
It is we'll to bear in mind that the
real league Of peace is not in formal
and mechanical orgipatioD. It is in
the hearts and minds OF men.
The world is in no danger Of war
from such nations as Britain, France
and the United States. They have
reached stage in civilization where
they belong in the circle Of the well
bred. They are not lruculent, They
will not fight wars Of aggression.
There are other less advanced ma
tions that are possible future storm
centetS. In spite Of temporary aver.
sion to war, in spite Of Temporary sur
render oil ambitions, they cannot be
depended on.
The only effective guarantee against
war on the part Of these uneasy powers
is the entente Of free nations, the
gentlemen'S agreement, the habit Of
cooperation for common end under
the compulsion Of mortal purpose.
The question is how most effectively
to preserve this entente. For when
the common understanding is gone
the soul is gone, and all the treaties in
the world would not recreate it.
The President proposes formal
league which is in many respects
1t binds the United States
in hard and fast agreement with ma.
tons Of varying cultures and moral
standards, To such a superstate there
is definite surrender Of sovereignty.
The United States would submit its
TO the superstate's decision.
1t would be morally bound to alter its
tariffs 10 meet the supcrstate's de-
crees. II would be under obligation
to 90 10 war at the decision OF the
and to refrain at the same
compulsior. II would surrender the
Monroe Doctrine, which has been one
Of the worlds greatest agencies for
peace, in favor Of a dubious expert.
memi.
Such a league may be the distant
ideal, But in the world Of men aud
women as they exist today it would be
a source OF danger, not Of security.
It is TOO far in advance OF what ex
perience teaches Of human nature.
