THE FORUM
Senator Lane's Action.
La Grande, March 9, 1917. (To the
Editor) The action of Senator Lane
in joining a coterie of senatorial
highwaymen to "hold up" the govern
ment's prepuredness policy, at a criti
cal moment in our international af
fairs, has caused general astonish
ment and bitter humiliation.
But it must not bo forgotten that
these eleven senators represent the
covert sentiment of a very large and
powerful party in the United States.
This party can bo expected to uid and
abet any action, no matter how un
patriotic, to thwart any movement for
an adequate preparation for war.
Not only does this party renounce
every kind of military power when it
is exercised with a view of aggrcs
' sive action, but it will not so much as
countenance any show of force even
for the purpose of insisting that jus
tice and international law shnll pre
vail, that the weak and innocent shnll
not be exploited, and thnt a quiet and
pence-loving people shnll enjoy the
privilege of being quiet.
If the High Priest of military auto
cracy should come out against us with
swords and staves, these apostles of
amity would put up their long, drip
ping red tongues into their scabbards
and Bubmit without so much as lop
ping off the car of the High Priest's
servant.
They would strike the sword from
the hand of the hero and substitute
therefor the emblem of a pink-eyed
turtle dove, stuffed with hot mush.
All true Amoricuns are lovers of
peace peace which is the triumph of
principle, but these doves' down
dreamers woud have us go to any
lengths, even to groveling ' servility
and spineless non-resistance.
I, for one, cannot understand and by
what right these people claim to be
true Americans. Certainly they are
not true to American traditions; they
are false to American ideals.
The whole history of the UniteJ
States bristles with bayonets resist
ance to oppression, armed protest
against arbitrary power.
The men who established this gov
ernment, the men who bequeathed to
us these benign institutions of the
free, loved the principles of justice
and liberty, and loved them with such
an overmastering passion that they
were willing to fight for them, and to
die for them, if need be "in silent
heaps without a sound."
This country was founded by a body
of patriots never surpassed in the his
tory of the world; men who not only
had shed their blood in the buttles of
the frco, but upon whose valiant
hearts the principles of liberty had
been impressed by hundreds of years
ol hereditary struggle, and who, upon
all the fields of freedom's bloody con
flicts, could point to the graves of
their ancestors to attest their right
to be culled the chosen guardians of a

free people.
The privileges of American citizen
ship are not the gracious gift of be
nevolent powers; they were reaped
with the sword from fields of suffer
ing and of blood.
Can anyone conceive of Washing
ton as an advocate of this modern doc
trine of none-resistance? Listen to
his admonition to Congress in 1793
words whose wisdom and foresight
the progress of events has so amply
confirmed:
"There is a rank due the United
SUites among nations which will be
withheld by the reputation of weakness
If we desire to secure peace it must
be shown that we are at all times
ready for war."
Can there be the slightest doubt
where Adams would stand if he were
alive today? Or Jefferson, or Hamil
ton, whose sword rattled on the floor
when he sat down ,to draft the con
stitution ?

peace and haters of war, but each of

finished work which they, vour fig!,
ing forefathers, so nobly carried on;
that from these honored dead you m:iv
take increased devotion to the cause
for which they gave tho lust fiiii
measure of devotion; that you, today
now highly resolve THAT THEIR
DEAD SHALL NOT HAVE DIED IN
VAIN."
Lincoln clearly saw that the prin
ciples on which this government was
founded always had been, and always
would be, a seat of war; and like a
groat high priest officiating at the
altars of freedom, he dedicates the
Amercan people to tho "unfinished
task" of maintaining them and trans
mitting them undiminished from our
hnnd to the enjoyment of coming gen
erations. To this "unfinished task'' the flam
ing spirit of our fighting forefathers
culls us today. Not to us, any more
than to them, is granted the soft
privilege of polticnl repose.
We hope that the United States may
be kept out of this colossal conflict, if
she can, with honor, successfully ren
der the service she owes to humanity.
But if the mantels of the patriots nre
to descend to a lot of forked radishes
in pantaloons, soft parlor soldiers, who
are too proud or too sentimental or
too white livered to fight when our
sacred rights nre insolently challenged
and imperiled, then I foresee fchat the
bitter awakening against which Wash
ington wnrned us will not long be post
poned. Come it will if America in
vites it by a policy of innocuous and
spineless non-resistance.
Besides and beyond all this, what
sort of a nation will this bo when the
first thought of an American is how
to avoid danger, how to save his skin,
bow to shirk the never-ending conflict
between liberty and tyranny, between
democracy and despotism, between
lawful right and wnnton wrong?
