.Mr. liryan in a recent staieinent appeals to the Ameri
can people to let the president and congress know that
the people at home protest against entering this war on
cither side, "with its fearful expenditure of blood and
treasure; that they are not willing to send American sol
diers across the Atlantic to niarcli under the banner of
European monarchs or die on European soil in settlement
of Euroi icaii ouarrcls.
Sicklv sentimentalisni is running away with ilr.
Aryan's 'coinmoii sense. Personally he is a good fighter
and quite a robust indiv idual when it comes to a sera) of
any kind or in protecting his or the people's rights, lie
has given many demonstrations of courage, lint he is act
ing under false premises in this instance.
Americans do not favor participation in the European
war, under European monarchs, in settlement of European
quarrels. If war conies, it will be to uphold American
rights, trampled upon by (iermany, and not as an ally of
the entente allies to aid their quarrel. The dispute with
(.iermany has no connection with the allies' dispute with
Germany.
Mr. Piryan is wrong when he would have the nation
adopt a peace-al-aiiv-pricc doctrine for peace is not
worth while if purchased at too great a sacrifice and
American citizenship is not worth while if not worth fight
ing for.
America has nothing in common with te lust of Euro
pean monarchs for aggression and power tit the expense
of humanity. "When these monarchs, in pursuance of this
lust, attempt to deprive Americans of their own rights, it is
not the part of a self-respecting nation to meekly submit to
the aggression, which would only be the forerunner of
future tyranny.
Xo one has tried harder or more sincerely to keep the
nation out of war than the president. No one hopes more
fervently that (.Iermany will not declare war by further
overt acts than lie. Hut if war comes, it is the patriotic
duty of every one to support the president, Mr. liryan
along with the rest.
Feudalism rules Europe. Piarbarism is still rampant.
The golden rule remains only a beautiful theory. Brute
force controls tire world ami the mailed fist is still the
mightiest. Out of Armageddcn may come I'topia with its
internationalism when Mr. I'ryan's theories may be prac
ticalbut we are living in the age of nationalism with all
the penalties and handicaps it imposes including the
right of self-protection. "
THE CIGARETTE BILL
RElMfKSKXTATIVE SWEENEY of Josephine county,
who. from the number and character of the bills he
has introduced in the legislature, seems ambitious to regu
late the universe, has amongst his other measures a bill
making it a crime to smoke cigarettes.
This measure is an infringement of the constitutional
rights of the individual and wherever tried has proved im
possible of enforcement. Sale of cigarettes to minors is
already forbidden, and this is as far as either practical or
desirable. Cigarette smoking cannot possibly injure any
one but the individual, and is not in any sense a public
nuisance unless we class both cigar and pipe smokers as
nuisances.
In Washington such a law was in existence for four
years, during which the actual consumption of cigarettes
increased IHM) percent. The bill was finally repealed be
cause it was found impossible to enforce it. The only
result was that the local dealers lost their commissions and
the money went out of the state for their purchases.
If we bar the cigarette, the next step wil' lie to bar
tobacco. If we deprive people of indulgence ;n the sn all
vices we drive them to indulging in the bigger ones. Human
nature will stand just so much repression, and then comes
the reaction which sweeps away barriers and goes the
other extreme. ( Yoniwcll and the Puritans only prepared
the way for the orgy of sin under the restorative as the
pendulum swung the other way.
l!y the law of nature, moderation is virtue, excess i
crime. The only harm in the use of cigarettes is when
they are used iinnioilcrat ely--and the individual luusi reg
ulate that himself. The person who finds smoking an in
jury must cut it out but that is no reason for dcpi ivir.c
his fellow man of a harmless consolation.
