Turning Over An
Old Leaf
By Phillip A. Gladheim

There were faces to remember in the
Valley of the Shadow;
There were faces unregarded, there
were faces to forget;
There were fires of grief and fear
that are a few forgotten ashes;
There were sparks of recognition that
are not forgotten yet"
1t is amazing with what presump-
ton the so-called intelligentia and the
brain-trusters of this generation fail
to take seriously the deposited wis
dom of this epublic-wisdom which
created the Republic, and wisdom that
should be revered and needed in this
hour of crisis.
What joy to discover a speech by
John C. Calhoun, delivered in the
House of Representatives on February
25, 1914. Here is some American wis
dom 1877 years old. Every newspaper
in the country should print this speech
on the first page in large, bold letters.
The title is DUTY of Minority in
State of War:
"How far the minority, in a state
of war, may justly oppose the meas
ures of government is a question of
the greatest delicacy. On the one side,
an honest man, if he believes in war
to be unjust or unwise, will not dis
avow his opinion. But, on the other
hand, an upright citizen will do no
act, whatever he may think of the
war, to put his country in the power
of the enemy. 1t is this double aspect
of the subject which indicates the
course that reason approves. Among
ourselves, at home, we may contend;
but, whatever may be requisite to give
the reputation and arms of the Re-
public superiority over its enemy,
it is the duty of all-the minority no
less than the majority-to support.
Like the system of our state and gen.
eral governments-with they are
many, to the world but one-so it
ought to be with parties: among our
selves we may divide, but in relation
to other nations there ought to be only
the American people. In some cases it
may possibly be doubtful, even to the
most conscientious, how to act This
is one of the misfortunes of differing
from the rest of the community on the
subject of war. Government can COM
mand the arm and hand, the bone and
muscle, of the nation; but these are
powerless, nerveless, without the con-
curing good wishes of the community.
He who, in estimating the strength
of people, looks only to their num-
bers and physical force, leaves out of
