Certain Glasses Not Affected
We will readily admit that there
are certain classes Of people, upon
whose conduct, the approval or dis
approval of society does have a modi-
flying effect, because it is always more
pleasant to be praised than blamed.
but we insist that the experience Of
the world has plainly shown us that
this force is not strong enough to
justify us in discarding the use Of
physical force whenever it is demon
strated that moral suasion will not
accomplish the desired result. Do
not misunderstood us; we believe in
using every ounce of moral force the
world possesses, and in its organiza-
ton up to the highest point of ex-
ficiency; but we contend that in the
present moral development Of man.
kind that moral force must be sup
plemented by physical force, active or
potential. 1t will be found, not al
ways necessary to use the physical
force, as its mere presence, and the
knowledge that it will be used to the
utmost if necessary, will usually be
all that is necessary to enforce the
DEGREES of the league.
How far would moral and economic
pressure have gotten with China in
her Boxer uprising, or with Turkey
when she was exterminating the Ar
menians, or with Germany, who to
this day has never expressed one word
other than in justification of her dew
ilish deeds in Belgium, and such hor-
rible acts as her cold blooded murder
of a thousand women, little children,
and non-combatants by the sinking Of
the Lusitania; Of her deliberate and
systematic course of robbery, muir
der, arson, and rape? Morality that
did not bear the brand Made in Ger

and all their fiendish work had the
unqualified approval Of the German
God, their crazy kaiser, was so fond
of calling upon. What chance had

To Protect It's Members

Now this league Of nations is de-
signed to protect its members in
their rights just Ike organized gov
ernment in our New West was in
tended to protect the person and
property Of the early settler ami just
as it was not safe for the early set
tier to disarm before society was able
to protect him, neither will il be safe
for the individual nation to disarm
before the collective power Of the as
ISOLATED nations OF the world will be
able to protect IT.
Get this idea clear: That horse and
cattle stealing. and murder became
unpopular in the west, just in pro-
portion to the determination Of the
law abiding elements Of society TO
work in harmony and 10 back up the
law officers to the last man when
necessary, Each man realized that
he was a member OF the community.

Just Imagine This

What kind of force does your police
organization represent moral, or ply
sical2 IL moral, why would 1t not
be better to have it composed of
preachers, Sunday school teachers,
and class leaders; they would be bet
ter qualified to emphasize moral
we have at present. Imagine a saliva
ton army captain as traffic cop at a
busy corner, with his bible In his
hand. Someone comes sailing along
exceeding the speed limits, the cap
tain halts him and quotes a passage
OF scripture to him, bestows his bless
ing on him and allows him to pro-
ceed upon. his merry way. Great,
isn't it? Why was It that in the
early days in our western country,
when things were new and wild out
there. that about everybody had ona
and some had two, young cannons
strapped to him? We all know why,
1t was because society had not as yet
organized its force for protection
against lawlessness, and each one had
to be a law unto himself, and believe
me, he did not depend on moral
suasion for his protection, any more
than organized society does. Now
note this fact: 1t was not safe for the
individual to lay aside his weapons
until society became organized and
able to cope with lawlessness, not by
means OF moral suasion but by means
of jails, penitentiaries, and scaffolds.
in other words physical force, and
readiness 10 use it if necessary to en-
force human rights and justice. Well
the world at the present time is in
about the same condition as to its
national relations as our west was at
that time in its individual relations.
It seems pretty hard for some nations
TO drawdraw the line between Mine
and Thine with any degree Of accur-
acy, with the result that these afore-
said weapons, with which each has
provided himself come into pretty
frequent use, and it has become quite
an interesting game, trying to see
which one can accumulate and make
use of the most deadly and effective
weapons
