The Pacifist Has FACTS
Upon Which to Base His
Opposition to Militarism.
The preparedness advocate will almost
invariably reach this speech in advanc
ing his argument:
“Suppose the United States should be
attacked tomorrow/'
You stop him right there and ask him
by whom you are to suppose the United
States to be attacked, and he will just as
invariably reply:
"Well, suppose we should be attacked
by Germany."
You stop him again at that point and
ask his just how Germany would go
about it to attack the United States at
the present time with a fleet of warships
that she dare not permit in the open, and
you will find that you have the prepared
ness advocate supposing a little farther
ahead and assuming that Germany
proves to be victorious in the present
eenflict, and assuming that we will then
be in danger of attack no sooner than
The conflict is over.
That, to our way of thinking, is the
great fault and the great weakness in the
position of the preparedness advocate.
-Before he can find any excuse in the
world for more warships, more guns,
more soldiers and more everything else
belonging to MILITARISM and WAR,
h 0 has to “SUPPOSE" this and “AS
SUME” that, for without “supposing"
and •'assuming" his argument becomes
ligless and empty.
[. Preparedness is from beginning to end
a hypothetical proposition.
One doesn’t have to be a “copperhead"
to discern the fact.
Neither does he have to be, as Col.
Roosevelt says he is, a “weakling" or
a “coward."
But be he a “copperhead," or a “weak-
Hng.” or a “coward," the opponent of |
preparedness bases his position on
FACTS and NOT upon supposition or
assumption or upon any hypothesis.
He doesn’t have to “SUPPOSE" that
Germany, Austria, England, France,
Russia, Italy and the other countries en
gaged in the bloodiest struggle in the
history of the world THOUGHT they
were preparing for peace, but found out
to their bitter sorrow that they PRE
PARED for WAR.
That is a FACT upon which the
pacifist bases his opposition to the same
kind of preparedness for his United
States.
The “copperhead” doesn’t have to
"•appose” that preparedness in the old
country has laid the fields in waste,
cooked them with the blood of men,
turned plowshares into swords and claim
ed the lives of those whose hands were
.at the plows.
That is a FACT upon which the
pacifist bases his opposition to the same
kind of preparedness for his United
States.
The "copperhead” doesn’t have to “sup
pone” that the industries of the old
eduntry have been wrecked, that the fac
tories are still and that machinery is
foiling to pieces while the workers are
assay shooting at each other to kill each
Wther.
h That is a FACT upon which the paci-
Bhis opposition to the same
reparedness for his United
perhead” does not have to
" that the work of buildinjr
opped in the old country and
ray to a work of TEARING
FACT upon which the pad*
fist bases his opposition to the same
kind of preparedness for his l nited
States.
* The “copperhead" does not have to
“SUPPOSE" that a mother weeps today
in a hbme once happy, for the son whose
body they have heaped with thousands
of others in a trench.
The “copperhead" does not have to
“SUPPOSE” that a widow weeps today
in a home once happy, for the husband
whose body lies at the bottom of the sea: j
that a daughter weeps for a father ; that
a sister weeps for a brother; that the
cost of war can be measured only in the
tear* of women.
That is a FACT upon which the paci
fist bases his opposition to the same kind
of preparedness for his l. nited States.,
There is no SUPPOSITION about it.
The “copperhead" does not have to
“SUPPOSE" that war in the old country
will leave every nation engaged in it
crippled in men. crippled in money, crip
pled in ambition and crippled in every
conceivable form for, to put it most con
servatively, one hundred years.
That is a FACT upon which the paci
fist bases his oposition to the same kind
of preparedness for his United States.
And looking to the future:
The “copperhead” does not have to
“SUPPOSE" that at the end of the pres
ent conflict no country involved in it will
have any stomach for more war. and that
no country would be able to finance a
war in case it still wanted to fight.
That is a FACT upon which the paci
fist bases his opposition to preparedness
as applied to the future for his United
States and the danger of attack.
The “copperhead" does have to sup
pose that each and every one of these
countries will recognize the economical
advantage in disarmament or in a court
of nations to insure the future peace of
the world and a common brotherhood of
man and the triumph of Christianity and
civilization, by ABOLISHING WAR
FOR ALL TIME.
That the countries now at war will
realize that the money it will take for
them to start preparing all over again
will be sorely needed for the work of re
building, is a FACT upon which the paci
fist bases his opposition to a program of
preparedness for his United States.
Theodore Roosevelt, while in Detroit,
delivering speeches which “supposed”
and “assumed,” sometimes that Ger
many would be the country to attack us
and sometimes that it would be Japan;
while supposing a situation in Mexico
that would compel us to turn our forces,
prepared for “defense" into forces of
OFFENSE, to save some American capi
talist’s mine or cattle ranch, mentioned
ONE fact.
He emphasized for pacifiists or “cop
perheads." or “weaklings’ ’or “cow
ards” the fact that the work of slaughter
has been going on in Europe now for
nearly two years, and that THE UNIT
ED STATES OF AMERICA HAS NOT
BEEN DRAWN INTO IT.
And that the United States of Amer
ica HAS NOT BEEN DRAWN INTO
IT because Woodrow Wilson has been
able to do with diplomacy what Theo
dore Roosevelt, had he been president,
would have ATTEMPTED to do with
bullets, and the Lord only knows wheth
er by now it would have been done or
would be still in the doing.
This is a FACT upon which the pacif
ists base their opposition to prepared
ness, and to Theodore Roosevelt for
president of the United States.

EXERCISE AFTER FORTY.
BY H. ADDINGTON BRUCE
Author of "The Riddle of Peraonsllty “Psychology and Parenthood." stc.
Physical exercise Is a good thing
for all men at all ages. But not
every kind of physical exercise is
good for all men at all ages This
is something to be particularly kepi
In mind by the man wno has turned
N
The age of 40 —at all events, the
age of 45 —is the age when the hu
man organism begins to weaken
physically. A slight but significant
sign of this is the necessity most
men then experience of putting on
spectacles.
The eyes that have stood the
sear and tear of life now need help.
They can no longer be strained with
impunity as in youth and early
manhood.
So with the internal organs and
tissues, especially the heart and
blood-vessels. No matter how tem
perate the life may have been their
elasticity is now reduced. Hence
forth it is dangerous to put on them
any excessive strain.
This does not mean that the man
of 40 or 45 should begin to lead a
sedentary, inactive life. Not at all.
Exercise is as necessary to his men
tal and physical well being as if was
in the days of his boyhood.
But he must not think of exercls
ing as strenuously as he did when
he was young. Most of the games
of his boyhood must become mem
ories to him.
Baseball he must be content with
watching—unless he be so fortunate
as to have access to that Interest
ing variation of it, battleship base
ball, a game well suited to the man
beyond 40. Football, like ordinary
baseball, he can play only from the
grandstand.
Every game, in short, that in
volves running, jumping, or similar
action taxing the heart must be left
to younger men.
Still, there are plenty of ways In
which the middle-aged man can
safely find the exercise he needs,
and. let. us hope, the exerelse he
ardently eraves.
There Is walking, that best of
all forms of exercise If taken in
moderation and with the mind
pleasurably occupied during the
walk. There is rowing—likewise to
The Keep Well Column
BAD EVES
Many peoplp know but little of the
consequences of bad eyes, unless
taken care of in
institutions and do not become a
menace to the public.
But school children whose eyes
look all right, hut who have certain
diseases or defects that render study
and education a hardship, may be
come a danger to other people.
A school child, born with an un
detected cataract, or very near
sighted so that he cannot see the
blackboard, soon falls behind his
class and becomes discouraged with
his school life.
A child with far sight or astigma
tism. or some mu'filar defect of the
eyes which causes headache, will
contract a dislike for booka, atudy
be taken moderately. There Is
horseback riding.
Also, in the winter, there Is bowl
ing, a splendid game for the mid
dle-aged. whi n not enrried to ex
cess. And in the spring, summer,
and fall, there is golf.
Os all the games that ever were
invented, non** takes the palm from
golf, regarded from the point of
view of being w*-ll adapted to the
| needs of the man of middle life.
Muscles and mind alike it exer
cises, in the open air, and without
necessity for violeut effort. Any
man who overstrains himself play
ing golf has only himself to blame.
And. let a man once develop a
fondness for golf, he will always
have available a prompt cure for
"the blues.”
Decidedly, the man of 40 cannot
complain of larking suitable means
of exercise. One or more of these
he should choose.
If he must .forego the strenuous
games in which he once delighted,
let him not fall Into the error of
giving up exercise altogether. That
way trouble surely awaits him.

ptinishc-d for something for which he
really Is not to blame.
Children whose educational prog
res* Is embarrassed by reason of
uncorrected physical defects, soon
acquire a loathing for education and
all that education represents, and
the seeds of Idleness and irresponsl
billty being sown, may develop into
criminals or dependents.
Kducatlon Is one of the greatest
barriers to crime and poverty I*
Is therefore essential that children
should he well educated, and that
bad eyes or any other physical or
mental defects be detected and cor

easy and agreeable as possible.

' A Report On Dirt.
To the Editor of The Times:
In the front of the main library
on Gratiot-ave., there is a sign:
"Dirt Breeds DiseaseAfier hav
ing read that sign. I a.*ked myself
the question, what do they mean by
that? IX> they mean that we
should eat the dirt’ You do not
understand me, do you?
Why, if dirt breeds disease, do
not the officials of the city of De
troit. clean up the alleys at bast
once a month? I invite you to look
over the alleys from St. Antoine st.
to Russell-st , and from Gratiot-ave.
to Forest-ave., and you will sec that
the dirt in the alleys is almost one
yard high.
I wish to ask one more question,
and that is: Why. if "cleanliness
is next to Godliness," don’t we have
in this <-ity more than one public
bath house? We have so many
churches in this city, nnd the most
of them are being used very little
why not build up at least one dozen
free bath houses, where the citizen?
will have the greatest use in the
world? There are a few more things
the city must have, hut those that
I mention are the most essential.

(Copyright, 1916, by Wank Crane) r
The hundredth man is the man who if}

He is doing just about what he ought}
to do, barring the universal frailties, m
He is making good. }
When he makes an appointment he}:
keeps it. ?
When he has to deliver “a message U{ ;
Garcia,” he delivers it. He does not ex-*
plain why he couldn’t. {
When he states a thing it is just
as he stAtes it; no more, no less. 1
He does not exaggerate, gesticulate |
nor vociferate. Asa consequence his or}
dinary tone of voice is more convincinj
than other men’s shouting. ?
He is not fond of the pronoun I. \
He does not indulge in self dispraise?
that most disagreeable fashion of self*
praise.
He is much more concerned about thi
right than about his rights.
He shoulders cheerfully his responsh
bilities.
He gives to the world an equivalent so%
what he gets from the world.
Wherever you find a man of this kinc
you find ninety-nine who are hanging oi
to his coat-tails.
It is the one man out of every hundre<
that is making things go; the others a i
following along.
The hundredth man is not looking foi
favors, tips, pulls, and help.
In any business he is the one who ii
indispensable. For whatever he does h<
does a little better than any one els<

He is dependable. You never have t<

what he is supposed to do or not.
He is a good loser. When he makes
mistakes he owns up and takes the con
sequences.
He despises no human being.
He respects every woman.
He demands nothing from his friends
He is never mean, small, selfish, vin
dictive, nor sulky.
When he feels bad he goes away unti
he gets over it, and does not afflict oth

He knows the golden mean. For he ii
