Danger Of Social War
"It is well to remember that the
patriots Of lab years ago were alike
opposed to autocracy and to mass rule
by the undisciplined and unrestrained.
This government of ours has grown and
prospered, but we must remember the
ocean is not so wide as it was then, and
that our land must ever be protected
from the conquests OF the predatory
spirits developed by an alien philosophy
which we call Germanic materialism.
Once we permit ourselves to be control
led by determination Of patriotic mo-
tive and high resolve, we can and we
will be leaders in our generation.
The dangerous disease which con-
fronts us is human peryersity and the
undisciplined visions and ambitions Of
man. Until these are conquered we shall
ever be in danger of actual war and
certainly we will be in danger Of social
war.
I'VE have heard much Of late about
self determination as the right Of
states. However mercenary this may
seem as applied to present national and
racial differences. we can make an
, extremely valuable asset out Of self de
termination if we can rise to the point
Of treating it as an inalienable right
Of the individual.
ITO apply this theory In the con-
crete, If you and l. will set in our minds
individually maximum price, beyond
which we will not go. to purchase neces-
sites or luXuries, we can force re
duction in prices. IL every Templar will
refuse to pay $1.25 for candy per pound
and persuade his wife or sweetheart to
do without, the price Of candy will come
down. Likewise, il every Templar. who
is manufacturer of candy, will say
candy is too high, it is my duty to my
brother Templars TO sell this year for
less percentage Of profit and at less
price, candy will come down this can
be applied around in the course not
only to luxuries but to household neces :
stiles. Again il we can make up our
minds to produce more as individuals,
! and to pay no attention to any suggest
cd maximum of effort. we VIII De ad-
ding TO the comfort ana TO the happiness
of all.
'The trouble with American people
! generally is that they look to govern
mental agencies, municipal state aho
national, as their sole means OF reureSS
