the Japanese navy did In the
Russo-Jsrsnese war. or with their
preparedness. for this stab in the
dark. talked Of cleaning them up
as II II were an easy and quick Job
to be soon over and done with.
As I read the excited demands
for courtsmartial and dishonor to
men who are ready TO die. am
reminded q what Lincoln said in
a dark hour for the Washington
government In the war OF the sos
when hystericsl people were de-
handing that he smash Richmond
In 1861 without benefit Of clergy.
Lincoln illustrated their attitude
by a reference TO the feat OF
Blondin, who was the first to walk
on a tight rope across Niagara
Falls. Tired of uniformed eriti-
cism. the patient but unperturbed
Lincoln made a statement some
thing like this:
Suppose you and other volun-
teer critics had been standing on
the ground looking up al Blondin
in his dangerous adventure. and
one would cry out to him, 'Blon-
dim Go little further TO the left
or you will lose your BALANCED
And another would scream. Move
five inches TO the right or you'll
fall TO the ground and be dashed
10 pieces And others equally
excited were making different sus-
gestions To the man on the tight
wire In the Air. Do you suppose IL
he listened TO them they were CIV
ing him aid Rather were they
not guilty OF importing his sue
cess ?"
As . lifelong editor. may ]
remind my brethren OF the press
that even the great and patriotic
Greeley lost his wisdom in forget

ing of the Bismarck did not create
a panic in Germany, and the de-
struction OF the Prince Of Wales
in the Orient has created none in
England. No more should the first
heavy blow at American naval
forces in Hawaii or other losses
cause the people Of America to
lose their nerve or poise or con-
secration to a point dearer to them
than life.
The pendulum swings from one
extreme TO another. A few weeks
ago I heard some of the very peo-
pie who are now looking for \
victim crying out: why doesn't
the government quit talking with
two faced japanese ENJOYS and
smash the miserable little Japs
before breakfast"
They spoke from ignorance then
as they are speaking now out OF
lack Of knowledge when they seek
to make culprits Of men who are
ready to give their lives to prevent
the distinctions of free govern
ments on the earth. Those who
were clsmoring for before
breakfast humiliation of the Jap
anese forces and the Japanese en-
pire and the bombing of Tokyo, A.
II 1t were something that was
easy, knew nothing Of either how

or how for a score OF years all
the japanese have been regimented
to the one business OF making
ready to destroy all who did not
scquiesce in the old order OF i'm
perislistic government with which
they beguiled their innocent peo-
pie by calling 1t a new order"

RALEIGH. y. C.-There is
no basis for the near-panie or
the hysterical talk of court
msrtisling naval officers be-
cause of the sudden sneak
sinking of an American dread
nsught at Pearl Harbor. or
the destruction of the Prince
of Wales, the British flagship
in Asiatic waters. When a
man rushes out of the dark
and stabs a pedestrian in the
back. the policeman on the
large beat is not suspended or
discharged or put in disgrace.
The United states did not lose
its head in the Wilson days when
the Lusitsnis was sunk II was
recognized as one Of the hazards
ot = war waged by ruthless sssas-
sins.
The people then recognized that
those who used the stiletto and
rracticed submarine piracy could
quickly deal death and destruc-
tion. II must he recognized now
that the early advantage is with
the pirates who employ the blitz-
krleg.
