TOLKKATIOX.
The hitter attack made upon La
Tollette when in the discharge of
his duties as he saw them in the
Senate, men threatened and abused
him, shows that there is very little
tolerance even here when a man's
views run counter to what an Amer
ican writer has termed the “damned
compact majority' .
Lafollette, because he acts as he j
thinks best, and as his constituents ■
would have him act, has to face the
clamorous denunciation of those
opposed to his views and this is ex
ceedingly significant.
We may best judge the progress
which a nation has made by the
tolerance it insists shall be extended
those who are in the minority by
those who art- in the majority, and
tile reverence and respect which
will :>e t xtentled lliose men who act
ant' speak as the truth they con
ceive directs them when it differs
ircm the majority.
it is tin easiest tiling to shout
with tin crowd and to mask ones
real views that they may displease
none of those who are shouting. I'
takes a real nutn to dare the powers
which advocate a policy and which
has secured for its advocacy the sup
port of a politit al majority It is
not overt man will do this. T he
-pirit indeed *s often willing but the
hotly is weak. But the few who
hate done it. shall they not rightly
in- honored of 111011° What else is
worth having and what else is worth
supporting ii not the truth as men
see it?
y.t, ii is quite clear, that objec
tionable as Lafollotte a hypocrite
supporting a declaration of war
might be. in acting against his own
judgment, it is not nearly so ob
p t in liable as insisting upon doing
his duty as he sees it.
Such a fact is more bitter criti
, ism of those who oppose Lal'ollette
than anything else. It places them
outside the pah of men who arc
governed by their Intelligence anil
not by their emotions and submits
1 strong argument in favor of the
v,.ry Stand which the Wisconsin
senator lias taken ami for which he
has been abused.
If Wisconsin or any otli r state
sent to Congress a man who would
he a more puppet of the executive
and insist. upon supporting him
right or wrong, then would sdea a
thing as representative government
have been a failure. But the con
stitution reserved the right of de
claring war to Congress for the
very simple reason in theory at any
rate, of making the representative
and aot the administrative depart
ment of government have control
of this critical matter, and it was
ilie right as well as the duty ot
Lafolletti to express his views fear
lessly, as it was manifestly the duty
of those ot his colleagues who were
opposed to him to have received
that opposition with decorous res
pet t nor allowed themselves nor the
Idlers in the galleries to mock the
statement ot his views.
Nothing could be a mote disgrace
ful comment than this upon the ef
fort made.to deny * lie opposition
,ui\ right to act as it should act if
it believes that a declaration oi war
is wrong.
Ancl this certainly would he Un
ease were the positions reversed.
if anyone conscientiously be
lieved that a war with any country
was righteous, necessary and to be
upheld, they would be certainly as
much entitled to face a majority op
posing this idea and to have their
views tolerantly received.
it is an unfortunate feature that
in times like these men become in
tolerant. They give way to their
emotions and sentiment over-rules
reason. They refuse to deliberate
upon the serious consequences oi
ftheir steps and they do not as the
•great wise man of old so strenuously
urged “walk circumspectly”. Their
intelligence is dethroned and their
u-entiment and emotions take its
place and they ref.tsc'1 to “look to
the end”.
There are lots of things in the
United States today much more
serious than the international ques
tion although they may be subsidiary
apparently thereto. The matter of
feeding and clothing and making
happy and comfortable the people
herein is the transcendent question.
The country has no right to turn a
deaf ear to the clamor of the hung
ry in the cities for bread while
shouting for vengeance upon an
other nation. Surely in the turmoil
these things might be listened to
notwithstanding the war urge, but
they are drowned in the alarums
and the tocsins that are sounding
to arms.
This is a time when the nation
above all wants to be directly con
sulted—when the views of the mas
ses should be heard—when the
opinions for or against could be
i plainly registered. Not that this
will be done; it was the reasonable
thing for a democracy to do. so that
! the voice of the people might be
heard.
I The resort to violent methods of
disposing of any question is the
last resort. It is the last resort
I when everything else failed. A re
sort to an effort to finally solve a
disputed matter by force necessitates
a preponderance of forte in all
lines where heretofore it has been
quiescent. It means the summary
removal of the civil liberties and
the substititution thereof of martial
law. Accordingly it is a step so
: serious, so far reaching in its con
sequences, that it may not be lightly
l entered upon.
Frankly President Wilson has for
a long time staved off the final re
sort; he has put it off much further
than it was generally expected,
jbut the country thought the more
of him for that. The country en
dorsed that policy which they sought
in so many quarters to ridicule,
and surely the sentiment has noi
changed so quickly among the peo
ple since last November.
Whether they represent a major
ity opinion or not we do not know,
j hut we do know that Lafollette,
; Stone and the rest who oppose war
| represent quite an enormous num
ber of the population of the
United States. "Moreover”, said
! Thoreau. “any man more right than
J his neighbors, constitutes a major
| itv of one already", and we can
well understand that these men feel
j that they are right and mean to
j act up to their convictions.
tl is a very difficult thing, how
I ever, for a few to oppose the many.
' It requires a strong will and great
moral courage. It has been
instanced by a few in every belliger
ent nation, not with any degree of
tolerance. Yet the names of Lieb
kneclit, Zetkin, ltussel and Treve
lyan in Europe will be recalled with
, the delight that brave men are re
called when the history of the pre
sent stormy tide is re-written in
! calmer and more judicial moods.
Iliad the civilization that existed
been led by such as these, had the
1 ideals which men affected been
cherished as their ideals and beliefs
were men to respect the truth
1 whether in a pleasant or unpleasant
; guise as these men respected it,
were our convictions those horn ol
a conscientious regard for tlie right,
we all know that there would have
been no war.
Hut “none calleth for Justice nor
any pleadeth for Truth; they trust
In vanity and speak lies; they con
ceive mischief and give birth to
iniquity. They hatch cockatrice
eggs and weave the spiders web;
he that eateth of thetr eggs dieth
and that which is crushed breaketh
out into a viper’. Surely so! The
dreadful toll that Europe pays is the
price of years of peace when reck
; less ambition, lust Tor power, greed
of gold turned men from Justice
between man and man and led hu
manity straight into a life of cruel
shams, economic lies and social in
justices.
