THE PEOPLE’S WILL.
j
Tim war makers across the sea should keep wary eyes to
leeward. They are driving the armies on to death. Did they
ever stop to think that those armies have really no grievance
against t he other armies, that they are killing and that are kill
ing them in reinin'? They know how glad those men in the
ranks would he to know that the era of murder had passed.
Are they not afraid that a few inspired men in the ranks may
rise and call a halt ?
This brings at once the thought that no future war should
ever be fought among civilized pimples without those peoples “
demand it. :•
Out war with Spain was the people’s war and a public do
mand crowded’ it upon congress and over President McKinley’s ;i;
plea to wait. It was because the cruelties of Spain to the Cu- $
bans had become intolerable in our people’s minds.
And cannot that thought, amplified and reduced to form :;i
be woven into a slat iit<■ in an international code for the guidance !■;
of tin1 nation- and in the interest of mercy and peace?
We believe that in the old code there was a provision that j:
differences between nations should be submitted to arbitration £
before a war should he declared’. |
P.ut no power in Europe was impressed enough with it to ij
heed it when tla* war note w as finally sounded. Hut the people S
were not consulted. Will they not have to before another S
great war i< sprung? $
When peace finally comes and the people are permitted to g
survey the w reck and to estimate the gains and losses, will not ;i
a determination grow in their minds that never again shall like
horrors be wmuglil until the men in the ranks and in the pur
suits of peace shall have been consulted. !|
THE PRESIDENT AND FOREIGN TRADE.
I’h -id' iit Wilson socked his fist into Ids palm when, in ad
dressing a grain dealer*’ convention in Baltimore, lie again
made an appeal for less timidity among American business men.
This is a subject with which his tongue has gained a friendly
familiarily by reason of frequent contact.
4 We mean who will prevail,” he said, with a smite r.f his
hands, 44not because of the backing of the government, bid be
cause of their skill and brains.”
Which, in it* pungent essences, is but an >xcus<: for the
state department under the political rule of Bryan — and not
much changed since that time which rendered' ineffective a
consular service that was beginning to be of value to American
business men.
Business men cannot go abroad without the aid of their
government. And presidential elocution will not further for
eign business. A nation that is not standing up, four square to |
the world, is imt going to do much business with the world. A
straightforward foreign policy — something this administra
tion never has possessed; a straight forward naval and' army
policy, which thi* administration never has possessed; a Imsi
ness and not a political policy in its consular activities — these
are some of tlm essentials without which our foreign trade will
go to smash just as certain as the war ends.
Business men have tried a number of experiments, the out- _
come of which do not bear out the presidential statement that
‘‘there is no contest between proper business and the govern
meat.”
A SIGN OF DEMORALIZATION.
Il i» clear that Austria, at least, is growing very weary of
the war. The feeling of the* people behind the armies we have
no means of knowing, but from a single fact, judge the-feeling
in the army. And we only judge that by the number of prison
ers that are being taken. In 1 lie last few weeks one Russian
general has taken more prisoners than lie has men in his own
army. This indicates that the impression is growing that they
are fighting ami dying for nothing, and that it is time to quit, r
This is the more apparent when we reflect that, man to man,
they are equal or superior soldiers to tin* Russians from the ~
east or the Italians on the south, and ought to give* the northern *
Teutonic power more anxiety than any defeat along the long
battle front.
A demoralized army is like an automobile with all four
tires punctured.
-;0 ;
Industrial preparedness is just as essential as military pre
paredm-s, ami the windjammer that mounts the hustings and
strains his leather lungs in behalf of the former without declar
ing to the long suffering country that the preparedness of pro
tect ion is just as necessary, if not more so, needs to take a course
in political economy that will put a few sensible ideas in bis
think tank. If we are to have military preparedness, we must
have money to pay for forts and guns and ships, and'if we have
the money to pay for these things we must have a prosperous
country. \Ve cannot have a prosperous country without a pro
tective tariff, and there is no use preaching any other kind of
a political gospel to the denizens who live and breathe beneath
the fluttering folds of Old <1 lory.
