I called at his office in this city and when I asked him about - registration for select service he said: “National registration will sep- arate the Jeykils and the Hydes. There is a Dr. Jeykil and Mr. Hyde in nations as in individuals. The silly or sinister pacifists who have preached cowardice under the name of pence have deliber- ately appealed to our Mr. Hydes. “Men and women guilty of such teaching are thoroughly bad citizens. They pander to national selfishness and betray the country. “The recent peace-at-any-price pro- paganda has probably worked more mischief in the United States than all the crookedness in busniess and poli- tics during the same period. “Timid and lazy people, men ob- sorbed in money getting, hail with de- light any one who gives high sound- ing names to cowardice and flabbiness. “The average man does not like to face death and hardship, but I believe the average American. is. willing to do his duty; eventhough; it be hard and unpleasant. ‘ “Half preparedness is no pre- paration at all.

But it is a hoary lie to say it takes two to make a quarrel. Germany has made treaties absolutely worthless to protect nations unless backed by arm- ed force. “E STAND FOR A -NATIONAL- ISM OF DUTY. No man has a right to vote who shirks his ob. ligations either In war or in peace. No man has a right to live who has not in his soul the power to die nobly for a great cause. If de- mocracy goes down it were better to die than to live. “The war in Belgium protected France; the fighting in France pro- tects England and the United States.
