FOR DEMOCRACY OR FOR HUMANITY'S SAKE. NKW YORK, N. Y., Oc t. Re peating a statement from the vener able Charles W. Hliot, president em- ,.rifii nt ii.ip,.uni .k.. u "l;riV7elh ent when the war resolution was passu eil by congress. The following is from the New . York World editorial under the title "Degrading of a Nation": "The Republican party ha turned its buck on its own principles of I860 and 1918." thus writes the venerable Charles W. Kliot in the current Issue of the Atluntic Monthly. Dr. Kliot adds by way of further comment: "This deplorable change of front is a deep mortification and distress to all patriotic Americans, republican or democratic, and .artle. ularly those who remember the poli tical ideals vhich the republican party was founded to contend for and which w it led to glorious victories." I Handing Was Absent. t As If to emphasize Dr. Kllot's caus tic criticism. Senator Harding said in his speech at 'heeling Tuesday night: "I WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN THE SENATE PASSED THE WAR RESOLUTION, HUT I KNOW WHAT IT CONVEYED, I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, AND WE DID NOT GO TO WAR TO .MAKE THE WOULD SAFBVoit DEMOCRACY. WE TH! NOT GO TO WAR EVEN FOR HU MANITY'S SAKE." Tievelyan remarked of George HI. that "he could never forgive a poll tician for taking the right course un- less 11 waa irom a wrong motive.' Senator Harding himself had no part in voting the -declaration of war against Germany, but he is willling to Justify it provided It is agreed that the motives of the American people were sordid and materialistic. On the basis ie might even forgive Pres ident Wilson for his successful con duct of the war. Fr the rest. Senator Harding re- to c-"ede that our dead died for any noble and inspiring principle. He refuses to admit that the Amer-1-ain people had any exaltation of splr:l; that they regarded the war as an irrepressible conflict between free dom and autocracy, between the doc trine of right and the doctrine of might. To the republican candidate it was just a row over some ships and submarines and a disputed interpre tation of the trading status of neu trul3. A Needless War? If Senator Harding is right in his estimate of the'motives of the Amer-j ican people, the war was a needless war. Every life tK was t-t w-r I wasted and every dollar Hat m i), Pendleton, which had 371 Pre spenl was wasted. We could have cinet 2S h;ld lhe smaicst registration. protection. Both.sides had violaud American richtn nn the hiirh seas. and if nothing muttered except the mulerlalist-c aspects of the case, Ger many hud more to offer than the al liis. The Kaiser could never understand the attitude of the American people toward the war. From his point lof view they were foolishly blind to their own interests. The thing for them to do was to p'ck a quarrel with Great Britain over the blockade .estiicllons, go to war on the side ot the central powei-s and take Canada and all the British possesions in the Western Hemisphere us their share of the spoils. That is what any coun try would have done which wus con cerned only with permanent ma terial advantages and not with mor als.
