(’()K I)(>\ A ALASKA, SATI KDAY, SKI'TLM UKI.‘ s. I'M,
' BRYAN FINALLY GETS OFF RIGHT
It is good to read the Commoner these days. We have re
ference to Mr. Bryan’s contributions, of course. Though not so
practical as that promulgated by Colonel Roosevelt, the doc
trine that the former loader of Democracy is now preaching
pulsates with lofty purpose and intense love of country. Peace
at any price has been discarded, and now the permanent issue
a patriotism that will stop at no sacrifice to win the war.
The Commoner has no patience whatever with the “con
scientious objectors.’ Listen to this: “Some are conscientious
Iv opposed to war—any war—and may prefer to submit to any
punishment the government sees fit to inflict rather than to
take up arms, but even such cannot justify resistance. * * *
still less can tolerance be shown to those who, while opposing
conscription, attempt to draft others to join them in opposing
conscription. War is a last resort—-it is a reflection upon civili
zation that is still redens the earth—hut so long ns nations go
to war the citizen cannot escape a citizens duty. If his con
science forbids him to do what his government demands, lie
must submit without complaint to whatever punishment in
flicted, whether the punishment be imprisonment or death.”
This is a splendid doctrine, and it would appear that, with
his recent conversion, Mr. Bryan is at last coming into his own. i j
Nor does he stop here. The conscientious objectors are not the U
only ones who Ivave incurred his wrath. He reminds us that the L
right of free speech is being abused. This seems strange, com- j
ing as it does from the most extravagant speaker of the age, j
but he has the right idea at that. According to him, it is per
fectly proper to discuss the wisdom of going to war before war f
is declared, but when congress acts the discussion is closed. 1
After that, no one should be permitted to make an unwarranted !
attack on the government and claim immunity by right of free
speech. Hence we can afford to waste no sympathy upon those
who have been arrested for unpatriotic utterances. This is a
shot in the right direction, and coming from the original evan
gelist of free speech, is most noteworthy.

GOING INTO BATTLE
Evidently the American “Sammies” are about to receive
their baptism of fire on the western front. General Pershing,
comanding the American expeditionary force, has moved his
teadquarters from Paris to a point a few miles back of tie
fighting front. Here the American soldiers are receiving tie*
finishing touches on their period of intensive training in the
art of modern warfare.
From press dispatches, it appears that the American fly
ing corps will be the first to go into battle. Under the instruc
tions of skilled French aviators, the American flyers have been
going through a course of training in aerial combat to fit them
for the daring work ahead.
The number of American soldiers in France is problemati
cal, and the number is, perhaps, known only to General Persh
ing and a few officials of the war department. The number,
however, must be considerable and must constitute an army of
fair sized proportions. Otherwise it is hardly likely that the
American troops would be placed on the firing line at this
early date.
The section of fighting front to be taken over by the Ameri
can troops and the length of front to be held by them are, of
course, militay secrets, but it is likely that the “Sammies” will
be alongside the “Tommies” on the one hand and the “Poilus”
on the other.
The news that our troops are about to go into action gives
the country a distinct thrill, and at the same time leads every
good American to breathe a hope that the boys will give a good
account of themselves.
-:o:
Those Washington sufragettes who persist in picketing the
White House and insulting the president will ultimately bring
their cause into such disrepute that they will die of old age be
fore universal woman suffrage will be known in the United
States.
