CRONIN E HEAR much of patriotism in these days from those who scent war in the air and seem anxious for the fray. Evidently in the minds of these nolse-makers the only of patriotism is one’s willingness to become a human target for a patriot of another country, neither knowing why he wants to kill other nor of any good to result from the killing. Patriotism in peace never seems to have suggested Itself to many these self-appointed guardians of the national honor. | Woe to the American people—woe to the peoples of ail lands, the destinies of democracy depend upon thore who echo this sentiment, or should expression of such sentiment excite other derision in the minds and hearts of the truly democratic spirits our time. Were it not for the Jeffersons and Paines, the Hugoes and Tolstois, greatest of all, the Man of Galllee—men all who preached the 1 of democracy, brotherhood and peace, that equality and right ght triumph over might—were it not for these men and the Bryar La Follettes, and millions of others who have pnesed this way be- and since, bearing the same message, there still would be precious Httle worth fighting for beyond breech-clouts and wooden ¢hoes, save nder to fill the bellies of a jot of military despots incapable of y jucing a tithe of what they consume.
