PATRIOTS FOR GAIN.
Allen Benson in Pearson's:
Forty of the biggest men in Wall
street arc connected, in one way or
another, with war munitions compa
nies or with companies that arc deal
ins with them. In addition to the
twenty patriots whom I have named
arc: Oliver Ames, George F. Baker,
Cornelius Bliss, Jr., Anthony X. Bra
dy, W. E. Corey, H. Rciman Duval.
Pliny Fisk,' John W. Griggs, B. S
Guinness, A. Barton Hepburn, Gerald
Porter, Samuel McRoberts, C. D.
Norton, William H. Porter, Charles
M. Schwab, George R. Sheldon. E. T.
Stotesbury, Francis Lynde Stetson
and James N. Wallace.
Every man who is profiting directly
or indirectly from the manufacture
and sale vi war munitions, may. nev
ertheless be purely patriotic when he
urges the United. States to be "pre
pared" and thus enter the market for
great quantities of war munitions.
Each of them may honestly believe
the nation is in such great danger of
war that it should proceed to arm it
self to the teeth. Nobody on the oth
er hand, is compelled to believe in
the disinterested patriotism of those
who, profiting from war-contracts
with Europe, urge the United States
to become a great purchaser of war
materials. We have every reason to
suspect them and we should suspect
them. Their financial interest is too
great to justify the belief that in urg
ing preparedness they are consider
ing only the national welfare. If they
are considering only the national wel
fare, let them urge congress to place
the government in a position to man
ufacture its own munitions. If theyj
are not willing to do that, they must
stand convicted of tainted patriotism.
We expect these beneficiaries of
war who axe crying so loudly for
"preparedness" to forego their pros
pective profits? Who expects them to
urge the government o become the
manufacturer of its own war muni
tions? Is there a single syllable of
their propaganda that has the ring
of honesty? What do they mean when
they say want us to have a larger and
better army than Germany had
month before the outbreak of the
war? Do they mean they want us to
have a larger and better navy than
Great Britain had- If "preparedness"
is the way to peace, plainly Germany's
army was not large enough nor was
Great Britain's navy large enough.
How large should Germany's army
havt been, and how large should have
been the navy of Great Britain? Will
our prosperous, patriotic countrymen
kindly tell us?
Will they tell what this nation
should do, if, having followed their
advice and plunged on armaments,
some other nation should plunge a
little harder and exceed us? Having
300 dreadnaughts, what should we do
if some other nation had 125? If so,
Colonel Thompson and the other gen
tlemen of our National league tell us
how we could prevent the other na
tion from bringing its dreadnaught
fleet up to 175? If we cannot prevent
other nations from playing the game
of "preparedness," is it not inevitable
that, once begun, it must go on until
one or the other nations is financially
.exhausted?
The munitions patriot may remark
at this point that therein lies our op
portunity that we are the richest na
tion on earth and can exhaust the
other fellow. But suppose there are
, two or more other fellows? Have our
munitions patriots never heard of al
liances? Are we richer than all the
rest of the world?

MISFITS
Speaking of worrying, an Albany
minister gave an example that illus
trates very well what the basis is for
the average worrying. A boy was
seen to be sobbing. He was asked
what the matter was. "I feci so bad,"
he said. "I'm afraid when I grow up
I won't have money with which to
pay my taxes."
Most worrying is the living in the
future instead of now.
It is easy to sec breakers ahead and
a woodpile looks mighty hig before
it is tackled.
An expert says Mrs. Wilson has
practicability, executive ability, gen
iality, versatility, converiationality
find analytical capacity. There now!
Two more Me. people arc seeking
notoriety by the Adam and Eve life
Milt in the woods. Or. a year or two
ago had a dose of that kind of stuff.
If Garrison's conscription plan op
crates Misfiats is liable to get caught,
as he is doing his best to play young.
Though winter one's head swims
vhencver war figures arc mentioned.
This is the week we celebrate. No
Dem. Xm. D.
Mr. Rryan in his paper accounts for
the fact that a minister occasionally
joins the jingoes because there was
one Judas among the twelve.
Let the men who profit by the war.
the cannon and munition makers, pay
the extra tax.
Ford's optimism is as refreshing as
a summer's breeze.
