Prof. Jordan on England.
In Ureal Britain's prewnt war
the rrsosveal. President David
with
Starr
Jordan, ol Stanford University,
the
tint aten In the downfall of that nation
at th Unitarian church, in Oakland,
vm-m., lardn iDoka to a large audi
nee on "Soma Lactone ot the War
tha Transvaal ." la substantiation
hie belief, Dr. Jordan cited the example
ot Greece, Rome and mora rwotiy
Sneia. Ueeald:
"The fall ot tbeee great nations la doe
to war. There is a cynical hue in cue of
Kinllna's posms that baa great aignifi
cance. "Send forth tha beet ye breed,
be ears, and that ia what England la do
ing now, that la what Greece and Rome
did . Tha beat and tha strongest ot the
winnr man : those without fault and
bleoiiab weht forth to ficht and die
And it the beet went forth, who were left
behind bat the second beat to breed the
next generation? That ia why the Ital
ian. French and Spanish peasantry
tha nresent div.iuch men as the 'Man
with tha bo,1 are small and weak
They ara descendant ot tha scullions
and tbe cooks and slaves, those not good
enough to fight, of the previous genera
tions. This baa been true of all nations
m1 led decadent. Franca lost her best
blood in the wars of Napoleon. Tha
plains of Austerliia and of Lodi and all
the great battle fielda of tha I a po ironic
era are strewn with the alalia ot Ue
best that France bred. The peaaantry ot
' Enaland bas deteriorated sadly since
that nation has become an empire. By
th uma oath as her pradeceeeors shs
most go to destruction."
Dr. Jordan laid that hia sympathies
In the present war were with tbe body of
tbe British people, who were, In bi
opinion, "the victims of a gigantic bun
ko game," and baa been led into tbe war
unawares by the politicians and desoa
gogues ot Great ' Britain. The primal
ain. he taid. of Eoaland bad been the
desire to eae whatever of value there
was which belonged to some one else.
There are certain principles, he went
on, which were at the root of tbe present
difficnltv. iffloni them being 1 the beli.f
that Chamberlain haa;fostered that Brit
ish influences should be everywhere par
amount, a tendency to keep a "sore
pace" between all English colonies and
their neighbors, and to overreach on
every frontier, just as shs had done in
Yenexuela and Alaska.
Following this Una of thought, Presi
dent Jordan bit tbe British bard. "It
bas seemed to be a rale in English war
tare," he said, "never to attack anybody
wth clothes on, nevsr to strike anybody
unless hs was down and never to hit
above tbe belt, save when that was tha
only volrterablelpolnt. Ia dealing with
the Dutch Great Britian broke every
pledge made to them. The truth of it is
that tbs British want their land and must
have it to make possible the scheme of
Bhodeeand Cbamberlin for a united
British South Africa.
"Many reasons England has given for
the war, but they are all apeeioaa. She
baa tried to treat tbe two republics aa re
volted colonies. She has complained
hat her sons there have been refused
te franchise; ahe has pointed to the
corruption aad tyranny in the Transvaal
Government. That tbe Boers boasted
that any one Boer could whip fire Eng
lish rankled ; so did tbe memory of Ma
juba bill. '
"Not because of her military glory do
honor England, but because she baa bad
more than her share of tbe wisest and
best men of the world. And so the glory
of the Anglo-Saxon race I not its domin
ion ; but, if it may be so expressed, in
tbe permeationor spread of its tboughU
and its ideas and ita influeoce. They
prate of irresistible tendencies and mani-
bat destiny and so on, but I cay now, a
I said at tbe beginning of tbe war, if
EngliaU soldiers com tbe Band and wipe
eat tbe Boer nation, it will be tbe begin
ning of the end of the British empire.
One ol Senator OUrk's accusers states
that be was bribed in a bathroom. It
ought to have been a clean transaction
Tha only bope against the trusts Iks
in tbe democratic party. Tbe republi
cans ars under too many obligations to
tbem to give any real relief.
The surplus is worrying the treaeury
department. Why not aboliab it by re
dacing datiee on some of the protected
article T
Collie P, Huntington, wbo bas fought
tbe Nicaragnan canal bitterly for years,
fa said now to favor it. , The explana
tion Is to bs found in tbs ship subsidy
and in tbe fact that Mr. Huntington bas
gone Id to tbe ship building busineu.
There is a suing tied, to Lord Salis
bury's reply as to that flour. The ques
tion as to whether provisions are intend
ed for the enemy's forces is to be left to
tbe prize courts with all infinite possi
bilities of deisy.
Tbe Brit'sh are disappointed in us.
Tbey thought the entire country was
backing them against tbe Boers. Unfor
tunately they took Mack and Mark forJ
he country.
Right to tha Point.
Oolda, the famoue author, talks right
to the point on the Boar question. She
says I
It is painful U see a man like Sails
bury playing the role ot apologist tor a
msn of ths Chamberlain type. It seems
that the English Premier could not
stoop ao low as to acquiesce la ths pro
pagation of the idle story that the pres
ent war was begun solely in ths tntereets
and for the rights ot ths outlaadera.
Chamberlain alone is responsible for
this war, and whosvtr baa read his
speeches, his dispatches, his evidence
given before tha Koyai investigating
Commission cannot entertain the least
doubt about it.
There never was any reason, any ex
case for such a war, and it will be a war
without glory and without honor, tor
when a nation enormously rich and
overbearing, a nation capable ot con
trading Immense loans, goes to war sole
ly from motives ot cupidity against
people small in number, with no stand
ing abroad and relatively poor, no vlo
tory ot the former nation can be truly
nonieaad truly great. Tha relaa 0(
Queen victory baa been a long series ol
wars, none of which I deem to have been
either necessary or inevitable.
Tbe farm-r, the business man, the
working man ot England knows littls or
nothing ot tbe agoniee of war. lie has
never suffered personally by it; he has
never seen hia. home burned, his dearest
ones starved, his fields and crops devas
tated, bie cbildrenm as cacrtd . fie can
not, therefore, understand and conceive
that ba does harm ia countenancing tbe
work of a brntal and vulgar politician.
This is tbs nstion's exeats, bat at tbe
same time it is almost inexorable con
demnation ot ths man who is leading a
generous and noble people astray by an
appeal to its low9at instinct and by tak
ing advantage ot its momenta of uncon
sciousness.
Excessive Wealth
From ths World:
In a speech before the State Bar Assoc.
iation at Albany its eminent President,
Mr. Logan, urged that all of the estate of
rich man over and above $10,000,000
should ba turned over to the State at bis
death "for use in the amelioration of so
cial condition, the betterment ot tbe
masses of people and tbe enchancement
of civilisation."
Think what a paradise for politicians
would ba created by these largo sums for
lavish expenditure for which they would
not have to account to tha people I It
the politicians dare to be so prodigal of
tbe public money when they have to raise
t by taxation, what woold tbey not dara
f tbey got tbe money by public inherit
ance T
All those lawyers who are in tbe service
of unscrupulous "captains of industry"
for ths perversion of legislation will In-
dorseMr. Logan's schema because intends
to distract public attention from meas
ures tor preventing the accumulation ot
vast fortunes and the segregation of
wealth in a lew hands.
It may be true, aa Mr. Logan contends,
that a vast inherited fortune ae a rule
serves no good purpose. Bat this ap
plies to a public as well as to a private
beir. And farther.Mr. Logan seems to
orget that there isa limit, beyond which
public benevolences and charities becoms
productive of sloth, pauperism and mor-
and social degradation.
Would not Mr. Logan's remedy be
likely to transform a private evil into a
public ealamitv?
