BY THOMAS. n. MARSHALL,
Former Vice President Of the
United states.

NE has gone a long dis
tance these days when he
reaches what he is will
ing to call an impression.
None appears bold enough to pro-
ceed to an actual opinion. Like
one Of the knights of old engaged
over the color Of a shield. a man
boastful of an opinion is likely to
realize in the end that he was at
best half right and at least half
wrong. Why tho doubt and un-
certainty about so many ques-
tions? Is the difficulty in the
questions or In the minds of those
examing the questions?
Diplomatists OF Europe give it
as their deliberate opinion that
Americans can well do without the
use Of intoxicants because the air
we breathe furnishes SUFFICIENT ex-
hilaratfon to quicken the processes
of the mind. True. we are nim-
ble-minded people. Some Of us
like to be thought British in our
mental processes: others Of us.
French or Italian. and still others.
German. But the public press.
granting it to be the mirror of
American thought and tendency
Of mind. reveals that we are
who. in the language OF the
Scriptures. spent their time in
nothing else. but either to tell or
to hear some new thing" These
Athenians never concluded any
thing. We. like them. are the
greatest starters and the poorest
finishers in the world. We are like
an infant which grabs a thing 1t
desires with one hand. something
both while overreaching itself for
some new thing entirely different.
In ono respect this attitude OF
mind conduces to the peace OF the
republic. II there arise some vex-
ing and momentous question, we
are content to start an investiga-
ton, even though nothing came Of
the last investigation we ordered.
Before facts on which to base con-
clusions are ascertained some
thing new to attract our attention
arises and We forget our original
new one. In most respects, how
ever. 1t is unfortunate that we do
not pursue our inquiries to definite
conclusions on which fixed facts
about public affairs may be
grounded.
OF course. we lead our lives by
probabilities. Nothing would go
duced to mathematical certainty.
But why constantly add unneces-
sary elements to the problem of
probabilities? A pathological sur
geon may be able to cut out of the
language a word which does not
please him. but he cannot efface the
concept of that word from the
minds of his fellow men. II 1t were
possible by the excfSion OF word
to blot its meaning from the mind
Of man, I would take up a collec-
tion to pay the surgical and hos
pital expenses Of cutting the word
'if" from the English language. I
fall to perceive any possible good
either to the United States or to
the world by the constant insertion
Of that two-lettered word into the
problems OF life.
"If" America had Joined the
league Of nations the Turk would
not have dared to insist upon his
return to continental Europe. we
recently have been told: IF" Amer
ica were in the league. we likewise
have been informed. thousands.
perhaps hundreds of thousands. of
our boys would be members of an
armed force organized to keep the
Turk out of Europe. The "if" upon
which these conflicting views were
based has enkendered heated con-
troversy.

The Wilsonites.

A decidedly interesting question has
arisen. Are the Wilsonites reaction
aries, or progressives?
Politicians holding to the former
classincations assert and insist that
the league Of nations is now old stun;
that the democratic party and the
country have advanced beyond it:
that the verdict Of two years ago
scrapped the league SO Tar a. America
is concerned; that to pitch another
presidential campaign in that key,
either under the leadership Of Gov.
Cox or another-any other-would be
again to invite disaster:
Politicians holding to the latter
classification assert and insist that the
league Is still live stun: that the coun-
try two years ago voted under q mis-.
apprehension and is now convinced of
the fact: that while the next cam.
paign should not be based solely on
the league, it would be Q fatal mis-.
take to haciktrack on that issue by
leaving it out Of the equation. Put a
league plank into the platform along
with planks relating to other sub
jects, and take the country's judgment
on tho combination.
This shows. rs some other things
do. that the Wilsonites are under live.
lY discussion in clubroom. cioakroom
and .curbstone circles in connection
with the next quadrennial contest,
and that their moves are being noted
and studied for signs and portents.

political name they bear. He il a

big feature in these meetings. Every
one who sings is cordially invited to
join the big chorus. There will be

tor in a great meeting at East Liver

word is necessary. Services at 7:15
