MONKEYING WITH EUROPE

MUNhE IINN
In our last issue we said "The more we
monkey with Europe the more Europe
will want to monkey with u.s." AT that
time we did not know we were hewing
so close to the written Democratic word.
Since then we happened to run across a
Democratic Campaign Text Book for 1915
the platform upon which Woodrow Will
son was reelected. On the pages giving
Governor Glynn's speech we find the
following:
Governor Glynn's speech sounds party
battle summons" and quotes the governor
as follows:
"'The President of the United States
stands today where stood the men who
made America and saved America.
IF Washington was right, if Jefferson
was right, If Hamilton was right, if Lin
coin was right, then the President of the
United States is right today.
"And whom, we ask, will the policy of
our opponents (Republicans) satisfy and
for how long? Fighting for every de-
gree of injury would mean perpetual war,
and this is the policy of our opponents,
deny it how they will. 1t would not allow
the United States to keep the sword in
the scabbard as long as there remains an
unrighted wrong or an unsatisfied hope
between the snowy wastes of Siberia anf
the jungled hills of Borneo 1t would make
America as dangerous to itself and 9TH
ers, as destructive and as uncomfortable
as the cannon of Victor Hugo's tale of '93.
1t would give us war abroad each time
the fighting cock Of the European wealth
er vane shifted with the breeze. 1t would
make America the cock pit of the world.
1t would mean the reversal OF our ira
ditional policy of government.
1t would make all the other nations the
wards of the United States and the Unit
ed States the Keeper of the World. What
would become of the Monroe Doctrine UNI
der such policy? How long do our OPP
ponents suppose we would be allowed to
NEEDLE in European affairs while deny
ing Europe the right to NEEDLE in Ameri-
can affairs? The policy of our opponents
is a dream. 1t never could be POSSIBLE
ity. 1t is not even advanced in good faith.
. . In a word this policy of our
opponents would make the United States
the policeman of Europe. Rome tried to
be policeman of the world and Went
down. Spain tried and went down, and
the United States proposed to profit by
the experience of the ages and avoid am
billions whose reward is sorrow and
whose crown is death"
This address was made in defense OF
the "He Kept Us Out of War" slogan,
and against the Republican charge that it
was murderous to have kept out of the
war with Germany so long. 1t now reads
like the speech of one of the men who
has recently been denounced as a "con-
temptible gutter" Or like one of those
who has been called 'pigmv minded" Or
a dream of man living in forgotten
age"
At any rate it is the warp and wool of
the American plank of the platform on
which Woodrow Wilson was reelected. If
there is one thing we like more than an
other it is to once in while cake dose
of our own medicine, and if there is one
thing we like better than that, it is to
give the other fellow dose Of his own
medicine.
