THE Cliifiigo Tribune carries at tho hoad of its editor
ial column as the journals guiding motto the follow
ing words of Stephen Decatur: v
"Our country! In her tntcrro itrse with foreign nations may sho al
ways be In tho right; but our country, right or wrong."
Xot what is best for the nation, for the people, or for
the world, not what is just and right hut the course map
ped out by the ruler, ruling caste or party to fulfill selfish
desire right or wrong.
This sentiment plunged Europe into a bloody war and
keeps it a shambles. It is the same old appeal to loyalty
devised in the days of the God-ldug, when the king could
do no wrong. It has been invaluable to the conqueror,
the ravisher and the destroyer, royal and otherwise. It
is a relic of h:rharisui, a flower of feudalism and ought to
be in the junk pile. U is a fake patriotism that places
conquest above righteousness, and substitutes the van
dalism ot an Attilla lor the wellare of humanity.
"Might makes right'' is the philosophy of the modem
war lord just as it was of the cave-man. The cave-man
evolved into a tribesman, the tribe into the nation. In
the transition, the chief assumed divinity, just as some of
the huropean rulers do today. Conquest all but obliter
ated the nation in the empire and the nation became
the individual property of the emperor or orowii, who
owned the land and the people and in a part of Europe
still owns them. Patriotism in these nations takes the
form of loyalty to the monarch, the king, the czar, the
kaiser right or wrong.
The caprice, the whim, tin? ambition of a ruler, or
ruling faction, can confiscate the lives of the people, oven
in a republic, and the people are expected to cheerfully
march up to slaughter, whether the cause be just or un
just right or wrong. To question is treason. Our
science of government recognizes a human being's right
to property but not to life. "The people have no voice in
the declaration of wars. Popular referendums upon war
are unheard of. Millions have been slaughtered, are be
ing slaughtered, without even knowing what they are
fight iug for.
The cave-man has passed away but his philosophy still
lives in the hearts of the monarchs and the militarists, and
the journal that calls itself the "world's greatest news
paper" has adopted this logic in its championship of civilization!

TIIE people arc not fit to govern themselves." Boss
Barnes of New York.
"To hell with libertv. Tho people of Mexico are ignor
ant. They must be ruled. "What they need is a strong
man a man of iron." Ilucrta of Mexico.
"Oregon (because of the initiative and referendum) is
the fool of the family." Oregonian.
The language is different but the senctiments are the
same. It is the political idea of the fifteenth century, still
surviving in the twentieth. It takes no account of popular
education, or of the greatest civilized force, the printing
press it is the voice of the feudal lords and masters..
They exist just as surely as they did in the time of King
Arthur. They have greater power.
In the old days the king's highway was free to all.
But there is no king's highway today, for in this age the
means of transportation the railroads belong to our
lords and masters, by which they control the prosperity
of the nation, while they go on dcclaming that the people
aye not fit to govern themselves airily fit to toil or die as
their masters require or demand.
What love of humanity, how noble a patriotism in
spires our leaders. May they continue to be frank and
truthful, for by so doing they hasten the day and hour
of the great awakening.
