No Thrill Now in the

TTigt item appeared in Detroit news
papers Friday, under a most modest
heading.
Take note that the ship was sunk with- j
out warning.
Take note that there were seven Ameri
cana on the ship.
Take note that no attempt was rr ide to j
succor the survivors imperiled in a small
boat.
The same principle—exactly the same
principle —is involved as was involved in
the sinking of the Lusitania and the La
conia.
A few days ago the sinking of this
ship would have called for big scare head
ings in these newspapers.
But yaaterday it was off by itself in an
obscure position. •
A ship yesterday was a ship just as
much as it was 10 days ago.
International law was violated in the
■inking of this ship just the same as it
was violated in the sinking of the Lusi
tania and the Laconia.
The act by Germany was just as wan
ton.
But the big headings were needed yes
terday for another announcement.
They were needed to announce the
signing by the president of the resolution
adopted by congress, declaring a state of
The telegraph editors felt no thrill in
the sinking of the Argo.
They felt no thrill because they saw
no thrill in it for the readers of their re
spective newspapers
The idea is:
War has been declared and American
lives are at once worth so much less that
the facing of death by a small handful
of thorn contains no thrill.
War cheapens life. .
That ia why The Times opposed this
war up to the last ditch.
It must be won, now that we are in it,
gj*d to win we must have no regard what
aoover for the value of a human life, or a
thousand lives.
That is war.
This fa All About 44 John
Brown/’ Who Was the
Bully of a Small Town
This is ail about John Brown, the bully
of a country town.
HU name was not John Brown, but
we will call him John Brown for a reason
that will appear obvious as we go along.
John Brown was a big, strapping, ath
letic fellow.
For a means of livelihood he drove a
log team and wrestled with logs.
He was as big and powerful as a man
as Germany is as a nation.
On week days he was always at work.
and working hard.
He wit industrious at these times, as
Germany was before this war and be
tween her other wars.
But on Saturday nights John Brown
invariably, got drunk.
John Brown was as strongly addicted
to drink as Germany is to militarism.
WhUky was John Brown’s failing.
Militarism has always been Germany’s
failing,
On week days, when logging it and
away from whisky. John Brown wa- as
likable as any German at whose board
you may have been privileged to sit to
partake with him of his limburger or
pickled herring.
On week days, when logging it and
away from whUky, John Brown was so
gentle a man that he refused to apply
the whip to his horses
On Saturday nights, when as drunk
upon whiaky as a nation may become up
on military power, John Brown would
almost without fail make the announce
ment several times a night that he could
•‘whip any man in the town.”
And John Brown DID whip many a
man in that town.
Nevertheless, there were men before
SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1917
whom he made his boast, who could have
whipped John Brown, very easily, when
he was very drunk but some of these
men were big enough to say:
“John Brown, you are so full that a
child could whip you.
And instead of hitting him with their
fists, or kicking him, or anything like
that, they would take him by the arm
and lead him home where a gray-haired
mother was waiting for him.
This gmy-hatrvd mother was the real
victim of John Brown’s whisky habit,
just as gray-haired mothers, waiting for
their sons, are the real victims of Ger
many’s failing for militarism.
One Saturday night when John Brown
was very’ drunk, he met his Waterloo at
the hands of a man who gave him a
fearful threshing.
A ring of the small towns citizens
saw the fray, and in this ring were men
whom John Brown had threshed.
They saw John Brown weakening as
the tight progressed—saw him gTowing
quite helpless.
It was a fine time for them to help
his adversary with a punch, but his ad
versary was so clearly the master that
none of them interfered.
“He is getting a licking that he will
remember.” they said to themselves.
They reasoned, apparently, that there
was no need of heaping on the punish
ment, and that there would be little
glory- in it for them if they did.
And that was John Brown's last fight.
He swore off and never took another
drink and became respected by his
townsmen.
And the result was that a gray-haired
mother was made happy, just as gray
haired mothers everywhere will be hap
py when all the nations of the world have
had their last drunk on militarism.
The bully nation of Europe is getting
his sobering-up whipping.
It is all but whipped by an adversary
clearly it* conqueror.
The I’nited States, even yet, is in the
ring of nations looking on.
Here’s hoping that the fight is over
before wc have to enter it in real earnest
and that the demands of our president,
whom we all support, may lie satisfied
before we are found with a part in it to
which little glory will attach, and for
which mothers, mostly, will suffer.
Let’s Fight, But Let's Not
Stand By and Let the War
Spirit Rob the Cradles
We hope that the little girls who
marched in the A ** I0 » l Wayne did
not get their feet wet.
We hope that the long walk wasn't too
much for them.
We hope that all the hysterical excite
ment which is l>eing injected into their
emotional natures, so extremely bad for
young organisms, will not combine with
the rest of it and make them sick.
We hope that the women (and men)
who are back of this thing REALIZE
WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
Maybe we should hope that they do
NOT realize what they are doing.
We hope that the conserving, maternal
instinct has not quite forsaken woman
kind for a wild orgy.
Let grown-ups do as they like.
It is their privilege.
All that we plead for is the children.
We are not warring on children.
Why, then, should we war w-ith them?
W’hy must they l>e robbed of their
birthright, joyousness and love for all
mankind, by injecting into their minds
the horrid thought* of war?
Hadn't we letter take them to the w ild
flowers and let them forget it?
Let’s not stand by and see the war
spirit rob the cradles.
From Another Point ot View
By C. T. S.
“Wait,” says our old friend Doc, well
known and popular chiropodist—“ Wait,”
says Doc. "until our aviators get going
and the war will be over."

The patriotism of our own William Al
den Smith, who wa. c never a partisan in
times like these, suggests the country
would prefer standing »>y the president if
there were a coalition cabinet with some

Ixxlge, another good Republican, its pre
mier.

Villa says he is neutral. That sounds
suspicious enough and w ould seem to con

these days, compromises by insisting that

I'he Germans are an intelligent folk.
Why can they not see the thing that is
leading them to destruction? It is not
England; it is Junkerdom. that is their
rl:cmy.
I he Knglish, French and Russian farm
ers. shopkeepers and clerks who have left
their occupations and gone to war would
all l*c glad to go home and about their
business if it were not for Junkerdom.
I hey don't halt' the German |>eople. T>i*y
would I** glad to co-operate with tham
and see them prosper. No people hates
another people. It’s the infernal dynas
ties. and ihe kind of politics that gathers
around dynasties, that cause all tha
trouble.
If Kurope would all her kings,
emperors, crown princes, dukes, and
magnificanres to the South Sca islands,
tnd govern her nations for the benefit
of the people in them, there would b«
the grandest peacefest and universal Eu
ropean *onablr the world has ever seen.
Ihe revolution in Russia almost pay*
for the war. Now if Germany and Aus
tria would only follow suit!
Germany, Krgland. all the nations say
they do not want to conclude the war
except upon such terms as shall insure
that their soldiers shall not have died In
vain.
If anv one country is victorious #*■*»«•
another they do die in vain. Hut if the
>eople shall triumph over autocracy, then
they shall not have died in vain,
t Democracy is worth the price.
