AND COITY PROCEDINGS TOO SWIFT AN “ECHO” (Duluth News-Tribune) . Some.of Creel’s fool friends are surer than he that he was k. “right” and expressed a “fine sentiment”’ when he said: “I will bie be proud to my dying day that my country was inadequately prepared when it entered the conflict.”” They are cocksure there is nothing wrong: with this and that there “isn’t an Ameri- can worthy the name who doesn’t echo it.” But Creel isn’t so cocksure he didn’t make an ass of him- self. He is not so certain that in order to be a good American one has to be helpless. In the cold, gray dawn of the day after, |. he is not so positive that America is America only when lying on her back waiting to be kicked, nor that the three years before April 1, 1914, are indeed a cause for such supreme pride in unpreparedness. Anyway, the afternoon papers in Washington on the day of the publication of the speech from which the quotation was taken, carried a Creel denial, one made on his authority. It was said he was misquoted and misrepresented. His after . thought was that he was merely glad the future could not say with truth that America started this war—it is quite generally conceded she did not—or that she had any selfish motive in going to war. The proof was unpreparedness. But unfortunantely for this apology, there was.a steno- graphic report made ‘of his speech as of all the others at the convention of lecturers supposed to take their publicity cuye from his. The stenographer vouches for the correctness of his transcript. i But Creel’s doubts of his own sentiments will not affect those adulators who know he is infallible whether-mentally drunk or sober. They know what he said is right whether he meant it or not, and that all who disagree with the sweetness of his spiritual intoxication are “imitation Prussians.” They are incapable of distinguishing between preparedness and militarism; between getting ready for the inevitable and running amuck; between offense and defense, or between :a. democratic military organization.under civil authority and a government and people under autocratic military control.- Yet there is a difference. - o Fortunately, too, this Trotzky element in our population is more voluble than numerous, and thanks to'France and Great Britain, Germany was not sitting on- America’s back—to recall another Raemaeker cartoon—when Creel concedes it ‘was pro- per to offer armed resistance in the name of democracy. “pOC” SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CAREFUL ‘Dr. Robert McElroy of New York who spoke in nine states, filled in the background of some of his ¢charges of pro-German- ism and anti-Americanism to a special news correspondent who sent the story broadcast. Among other things, Dr. Mec- Elroy is quoted as saying: “At the University of Wisconsin,” he said, “where there are about 2,000 students, I spoke to a large audience of young men wearing the khaki of the United States. I was telling them of America’s real purposes and aims and ideals in this war. T seemed to me that from the outset the audience took strangely little interest in the things I was talking about. “When I began to quote from some of President Wilson’s -messages,” ‘continued Dr. McElroy, “the rattle of snapping rifle triggers throughout the audi- ence—the men, being under compulsory military training, have guns—sounded very much like an at- tempt to break up the speech.” Poor “Doc!” Didn’t-he know that Wisconsin only a few weeks ago recieved a message from the president at the start of the senatroial campaign endorsing a democrat for the senatorship against a republican in a republican state? And didn’t he know how Vice President Marshall called the pro- gressive republicans of Wisconsin “sewage?” And didn’t he know that the president’s favorite was snowed under by the voters who refused to be dominated into voting for some one whom they did not want to represent them? 2 He says it seemed to him that the audience took little in- terest in what he was talking about, but to the students it _ would seem the “doc” was treading on pretty thin ice so soon after the election in the Badger state. who did not feel cal D, been provoked grant defiance ventions. SURE, GIVE ’EM ALL A PARDON St. Paul started to take action against the auto speeders of that city a few days ago, as the result of killings and the maim- ing of pedestrians, and arrests commenced to come in. Fines were assessed and it was the workhouse for others of speciql _ recklessness. Irrespective of persons, the officers made arrests and then came the usual stunt, political pulls being used in attempts to free offenders.
