Not fiven the Critics of
the President Disapprove of
the Purpose of the Speech
Praifeworthily presumptuous.
I" That, in a nutshell, is our opinion of
the speerh of President Wilson to the
•enat*> on a permanent peace to be ar
rstifted thru a concert of nations.
The president will be surprised over
the indorsements the speech will receive
and he will be surprised by the opposi
tion it will arouse. Indorsements and op
positions will come from the most unex
pected sources.
In the first place he has departed rad
ically from American traditions and he
will find those, even arnonj: h - cl* scs*
followers and most ardent admirers, who
have an aversion to that sort of thing.
The president continues to b« a prece
dent destroyer.
He will encounter, also, among these
follower- and admirers, in both panics,
those to whom that word “enforce,
used in connection with peace is very dis
tasteful, representing to them an incon
sistency with their views as pacifists and
what they deem the attitude of this gov
ernment should be as a leader for peace.
Sources from which we would have
every reason to expect a lambasting for
the president, are really sympathetic, ex
pressing the opinion that the suggestions
contained are advanced on intimation
that makes them timely.
It is construed by a part of the Ameri
can press as an appeal in behalf of the
Teutonic powers. It has been favorably
received by most of the press in London.
The fact of the matter is. it has car
ried the country quite off its feet and
the feet have not as yet been regained.
Os one thing, however, The Times is
quite positive.
And that one thing is that the purpose
of the speech is most admirable, which it
has been admitted to be by newspajfcrs.
that are not friendly to the president.
It was bold in him and. perhaps, a bit
unfortunate, that he should have as
sumed that peace, if it is to be lasting,
••must come without victory."
He leaves an opening in this speech
tor the criticism that he is meddling in
U matter that is as vital to those who
are fighting the war, as he most properly
construes the matter of an international
concert for peace to become to us, after
the war.
The English press takes exception to
this part of the note while the comment
upon it generally is favorable.
On the other hand, the tone of the
Canadian press is. almost without an im
portant exception, unfavorable, which
fact, no doubt, will strengthen the view
of those who look at the speech w ith the
glasses of diplomats and consider it In
conceivable that the president has taken
this step without first having consulted
directly with those highest in authortiy
In all countries in the war.
If those who are wise in diplomacy
have the speech reasoned out aright, j lift
how near are the warring nation, to
peace?
Assuming that the president speak?
With knowledge that the rest of the
country has not, the peace of Europe,
Insofar as this present war is concerned.
Is not far off.
That conflict settled, and the sugges
tions of President Wilson entertained in
Its terms, the p« ac* of tnc world, And
peace ever listing, may l»- a. n< i r
If world peace is the thing desired by
the other nations, the president, on be
? half of the United States, h; > turned .»
master trick.
The beauty of th« plan lie ; in the most
apparent fact that a lasting |»«*ace is the
V**r> thing these nations an- fighting for.
fc Its defect to the pacifists way of
thinking, is in the suggestion that we
nr*' wilting to fight with them for it.
Hut the most ardent pacifist will have
to admit that it represents progress in
\ the direction rtf the goad desired, and that
It must have some pretty substantia!
qualities as a speech for peace, to h«**
qu»t with tbs v*-ry earnest opposition
from Theodore Rooaeveit, two-gun man.
••Why doesn't he bring the pence of
' justice to Mexico.’ ask> the t oioiiel,
aligned against the president like the
(good, true partisan he has come to be of
i late.
Hr suggests a wav to that very thing,
i good frit ml Theodore. Why don t you
take oil vour coat, like a good American
should do. and -land by the president and
nelp him help Mexico?
Theodore Roosevelt, permit us to say,
'incidentally, was the very l»e>t president
the United States could have h.»d at the
time he was president.
But he becomes no part of the scheme
by reason of temperamental fitness, when
jthe idea is to arrange a pact that will
! enable thr nations to put aside the
grim monster, WAR. as the concerted
i effort of the powers suggested by Presi
dent W ils -n. would put it aside —forever.

Tncle Sam Makes Profit
In the Insurance Business

by act of congress a* ’he b-ginning of the war
to carry on a* a publi* service the insurance

j companies had either teas**} to write policies
or were demanding exorbitant premiums
The only inveh’nienr that Untie Sam made
was the appropria’ion 1190,000 to pay the
expenses of organizing, printing. ?ta’ion* r '. and

The Sheep and the Shepherds ,
BY OR. FRANK CRA NS
(Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)
’Pho sht'pp ait* the people of the na
tions. They till the soil, make the k ,mm "*•
itml ilo all the other business neeessarv
to life.
The nation is the name of the pen they
happen to he in. Some pens are laryre.
some small, some have low fences, ;tn 1
some very hixh and strong walls.
The shepherds are the rulers, ineludinc
kin>fs, ministers, diplomats, and Kenerals.
Hy ijrnorance, tradition, and lark ot or
ganization, the sheep are unable and
afraid to govern themselves so they sub
mit to the shepherds and are governed
by them.
No two flck*Ks of sheep ever want to
tight. No flock ever wislies the destruc
tion or impoverishment «>t another, as
they all know that the more prosperous
one is the more pro»{x?rous they all are.
The shepherds, however, are under the
delusion that the welfare of each tVs’k
depends upon the ruin of other lli**ks.
They are also filled with pride, ambition,
and notions ot gl wy and fame. 1 hese
sentiments they instil into the poor
she*Tv
l*.\ persistent preparedness and talk of
defense md patriotism they keep eon
stantly on the verge of violence. Hy an
accidental spark the conflagration is kin
dled War breaks out.
Then the sheep tho they have no <iuar
re! under heaven against their neighbors,
gw out to raven and kill. The shepherds*
whos.' .juartvl it is, do not engage in the
conflict, but stand behind the sheep and
give orders.
W hen the war is over the same poor
boobs who %'ent out and slaughtered, be
cause they were told, return home and
gn * i work to make money to pay the in
demnity. ail to make “reparation” for
th<* crime they never wanted to commit
tn th* first place.
Kven in the victorious country the p«v>-
ple are impoverished, fwr a victory is
about a.- deadly as a defeat.
When we apeak of a nation’s glory
we never mean the people that constitute
:t. but the rulers who control it. When
we sj>eHk of its wretchedness it is just
the reverse.
Kulers sometimes profit by wars; the
people never.
No sheep are the enemies of other
heep; their only enemies are the shep
herds.
War would cease if heaven would
krndly remove the rulers and let the peo
ple manage their own at!airs.
All the miseries of the sheep arise
from the fact that they aie sheep, and
have n«*t the brains not* the courage to
govern themselves, but make themselves
he pawns of the shepherds.
In the game of .-heep and shepherd*
