The possibility of the United
States entering into this war is a
thing not lightly to be considered
by any person. Moreover what has
occurred in even the most demo
crat:' of the belligerent nations is
such that may w- 11 give pause.
While the intention is expressed
of destroying the Teuton policy ot
frightfulness and bringing about a
condition of greater democracy,
freedom and popular responsibility,
the war lias led directly to the emas
culation of every vestige of liberty
personal or social in the warring
nations, and the creation of a con
dition which if it happened during
times of peace could only have led
directly to a revolution. The free
dom of the press, popular protest,
popular propaganda of all kinds,
lias been suppressed, and only with
great dill: ulty and daring of sinister
threats have ii a few places labor
organizations upheld some trace ot j
the right of collective action. I
Now ail of these things thus sup-1
pressed Ik.vi ti only gained aT
a-r infinite struggle and not a little I
bloodshed, and it is the menace to
these things that militarism and
war < mini;! that makes one hesl
tati t< approvt hostilities whit h in
the last anal' -is are concerned not
so mui li '\ r individual or human
TaR^^WT*always more
abb- rights of profit. To throw
over board everything that has been
achieved in the struggle for human
liberty that profits may be unhamp
ered is after all somewhat a dubious
more reassured
within the war
governments,
diir.ng the ex
proc "ding.
All would be
wi re one to observe
ring nations. the
whi'-h control them
igeie ii - of war, endeavor to compel
property and wealth to as unstinted
a service for the national good as
the persons of the individual citizen.
But although the various leagues
which advocate subtly for war under
the guise of preparedness have with
out fail and most tirelessly advo
cated personal conscription they
have stopped short at that and not
made any mention of property or
financial conscription, reports of
which are only arriving across tlie
Atlantic from the still unterrified
souls within the labor movement
in Great Britain. Yet as the slogan
All of England meant only the per
sonal service of the people in the
field or in the workshop, so All for
the United States means in the esti
mation of the Security Leaguers all
for service in the army and navy
and in the munition factory.
It war has to come after succeed
ing at the maintenance of peace for
two whole years, it is not right or
uist that the nation should sacfl
fice its flesh and blood and leave the
lifeb-.-s wealth of the money grub
bers untouched. If there is to be
crafting of the person, there should
as well lie drafting of the property
of the citizen, so that in the de
fense or in the furtherance of the
interests of the nation, there may he
no ignoble and inefficient inequal
ity such as those earnest advocates
of preparedness and war so cheer
fully urge.
ECONOMIC DETEISMIMSM.
An interesting case is that of the
clergyman known as the- “fighting
parson”, the Rev. Taylor, who quit
his post in a Congregational Church
In an Eastern city because he de
clared that the church failed of its
social obligations and responsibil
lt>es. He held that they misinter
pieted the gospel and while the
rnembers of his congregation were
individually good, they subtly sup
ported the work of evil.
His viewpoint was that they were
serving God and Mammon and as
such condoning the evils that soci
ally existed.
The good man takes a narrow
I view oi' life and one which has been
! marked of fanaticism in almost
every ape. What he failed to ob
serve is that society is anchored to
the means whereby it makes its liv
ing and how it gets its bread. With
those means provided for us through
; profit system, it is naturally in
< vitable that the profit system taint
Hie strongest ideals and the noblest
sentiments. That is the all power
ful urge of the economic factor
! which as much inspires and affects
patriotic and national actions as it
[effects religion and the church.
The main impulse of human be
' tags is to prolong existence ai d tlie
basic manner in which they do sc
shall of necessity feature every one
of the mental, moral or political in
| stitutions that exist. As that system
j is the profit sysetm, all our institu
tions have to partake of this ma
Atrial foster father whether w- wiM
or no.
We cannot mention today any
(person who is not resting his fame
•more upon what he gets for the
doing than what he has done. The
amount of money a man makes will
| be a far more important factor in
II stahlishing his respectability than
I mght else and although the ways
if sonit men of millions may be as
; filthy as a sewer rat. the fact that
'hey haw millions prevents criticism
it is u-.ilth not charity thaf cov
multitude of inquities. We
adjudge modern authors to their
nil-lies in the Temple of Fame by
Mn amount of money thej make by
their work, and the high price of a
painting establishes it at once in its
position in the world or art.
The soul of the Kev. Taylor Is
( burdened with the fact that social
r iponsibilities such as stirred the
mind and soul and eloquence of|
i Christ are wholly ignored by liis |
latter day followers. But he over- i
t looks the fact that what has been j
done is to adapt and adjust the
(teachings which have been handed
down from that remote evangelical
period to tlte more complex require
: ments of our civilization. It has
. long ago been decided that present
day society cannot literally follow
I the gospels and it is far more re
spci table and decent to make the
| gospels accomodate their teachings
to modern society. The frequent
; complaints made by sincere and
most earnest preachers that their
, churches are empty, while they
j cudgel their brains as to how they
| shall fill them, merely point to the
I incompatibility of giving the husks
j for the Bread of Life. It would
I appear that Spencer’s remark that
: the age has the religion which is
i best suited to it, should receive
i more attention from clerical ideal
ists. The fact that God and Mam
mon may be identified in modern I
life lias been most, nobly illustrated
by such venerable authorities as j
John D. Rockefeller and a host ot [
others. The absurdity of encour-1
aging a literal belief in that admonl- |
tion that it is as hard for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of heaven
as lor a camel to pass through tlie |
ev< of a needle should at once |
strike any person who considers tlie
wonderful benefactions with which
the holy and pious rich have endow
'd the churches and aiding them
selves in proving the danger of too
hastily accepting doctrines which
may have been easy enough of ac
ceptance in a church where all
tilings were common hut which are
intolerably revolutionary in an age
wherein the community of tilings is
possible only in the stress of war.
We can appreciate the fact today
that llie caution to love one’s neigh
bor as oneself and to do to others
as we would that they should do to
us is out of place when profits accu
mulate through the monopolization
of property, and the artificially
higher costs of living receive the
sanction of the very best the most
pious and most religious people. The
form of the Golden Rule that will
find its way into circulation has to
adjust itself to more utilitarian and
profitable considerations.
