Stood For Democracy
And the Republic

The issue IN the electlon
Sunday was vital. Germany
has been tortured now for IA
years. She has been SUBJ
jected to burdens heavier
than she can bear. Great
numbers of her people have
been reduced to penury and
driven to desperation. The
conditions are just right for
the demagogue and the
blatherskite. Many Of the
young, enraged at the
thought Of having tn e ir
country treated as a pariah
among nations for genera
tions. have been e silly
swayed by the spokesmen of
extreme measures. Many,
we have been told, have
turned to Communism; and
many more to Fascism; and
both h ave been arrayed
against the republic, against
democracy and against the
world.
In Hitler the Fascists have
had a brilliant, bitter, auda-
cious leader who has taken
the young men, and the en-
bittered, to the mountain top
and promised them all the
kingdoms of the earth. Both
the Communists and the Hit
lerites turn a hostile face to
the world. The triumph of
either would have meant
trouble. And in the end
tragedy to Germany.
And Hinden burg? He
shares in the feeling that
Germany has been tortured
enough; that Germany is en-
titled also to the right of
self-determination, but he is
a realist, with the patience of
true greatness, and no one
would suggest that he loves
his country less than any
other man. And he stood for
democracy and the republic !
Outstanding Hero
Of the War
There is something very
fine in the character of this
old man. In youth he gave
his life to Germany. AS far
as we have heard, he never
had any thought of mere
personal glory in that SER
vice. He swore allegiance to
the Kaiser-and served the
monarchy with rare bril-
lance and undertaking 10y
atty.
He was the outstanding
German hero of the war;
and no alien foot was set
on German soil while the
struggle lasted. He retired
with dignity, to be recalled
