try a luriuer laughing stock or in
volve us in war over it.
Great Britain is said to want an
other large sum of money with which
to nnance the war. The easiest way
to gel it is to send over a few war
ships and about titty thousand men to
help themselves to the hoard in New
York. The only opposition they should
reasonably expect trorn past perto’-m
knee is a note or two knd maybe a
cablegram ot protesL
A police graft investigation la on
in Chieugo. There are two things
about guud government that should
be freijnentiy emphasized. First you
have to tlgni to get it; second, you
have a continual tight to keep it.
There is no resting on laurels, hurnui
nature is such that on the least re
laxation of vigilance some form of
tyrany begins.
Some of the belligerents have a
censorship that may be described
as fairly complete. We know, for in
stance, Just what the British authori
ties want us to know of some of the
huopenmgs on the British isles. Some
time later we may have other reoo"ts
which, however, we do not credit be
cause wo had already made up our
m'nda, according to the censored and
doctored stuff, of course. All nations
treat us and everybody else somewhat
Is the same fashion. Alter a while
wc learn the reul truth, perhaps, and
it doesn’t make much difference any
way, as It Is not our war.
But for that mutter, ull rulers are
pretty much the same. Our own s>od
democratic president has worked a
Or r.»v.i>hip on us that hus been mire
Btuily complete than uny In Europe
sru he has hi pt It up for months.
For itusons that cun only be imagin
ed and for whirh he himself could
flat' no real excuse, In all probabili
ty. he > ae kept the people of this
Col'btry who are paying the bills in
ignorance o. the fact that we have
l> n hi wrr «!'L llaili and San Do
mlngo for a number of months. Just
how long it has been the lord only
knows, and maybe somebody or o'her
in tbs nuvy or war departments. In
both those repubtloe our marines and
blue Jaokest hare fought a cumber
of pitched battles with the half caste
natives, of full blooded niggers If you
don't like It so well, and our men
have not always got the best of It.
The reason for this has been that
acting under cautious instructions
from Wilson our naval commani’rs
must wire the White House be'ore
they can bat an eyelash. If, as yes
terday, one marine was killed and
several were wounded, the only
course open was to take the killed
and wounded aboard ship and wire
the White House for instructions. Not
the war department, mind you, but
the White House. At the war de
partment are red blooded men who
know Just what should be done under
3ueh circumstances. But in the White
House is a man who has a fine brain
but it is good only for thinking.
When he faces a situation that calls
for action he Is seized with a fit of
trembling. He cannot act. He never
did n thing In his life. At the very
though of acting he becomes paralyz
ed. He never has been other than
an academician and it is useless to
expect him to change. Not only that,
but If he has a good man under him
he emasculates him by taking from
him all power to do anything. He Is
stil' allowed to discuss certain things,
such as what good the democratic ad
ministration U doing for farmers and
such tommy rot. But a man like
Dewey or Funston who Is capuble of
action, good two fisted action. Is al
lowed to do nothing whatever until
a timid, fearful, vnsclllating ucademic
mind his considered the matter for
davs. for weeks, for months, for years
and forever—and nothing ever done.
Probably Mr. Wilson will never
explain why he has let Americans get
shot down by Haitians without any
attempt at punishment. He will never
tell why he has kept such a strict
censorship over Haitian and San Do
mingan clashes with Americanmarines.
But he does not have to explain this,
bf euuse we know now that it was
due to the approaching election.
Why our men were ever landed In
Haiti and San Domingo is still a
question but now that they are there
why don't they do their work and get
out? Here is one case at least where
our army and navy are fully equal
to the job, and If the president’s In
tellect told him that our marines
should interefre at all, why does it i
not nlso tell him that our army end
navy should step in and finish the
Job? He has not the excuse he had ’
with .Mexico that our military force l:
inadequate. Which, by tho way, Js
the excuse he has given relative
insults flout European powers.
Our army and navy are perfectly
capable of attending to tho mlserublt
inhabitants of Haiti and Ban Doming.,
and doing It In short order too, si
tlial for many years thereafter when
ever America speaks each and every
one of them will obey without ques
tion.
But Mr. Wilson wlU never act In
tills or any other euse. He simply
cannot. He Is not a man of action.
He is u thinker, a dreamer, a politic
ian und he will never let the array
or navy do anything. He can tula
forever, but he cannot perform. It is
quite probable that if we had a navy
uj strong as Britain's und an army as
strong as Germany's and Sir. Wilson
were president we would still have to
continue the administration's negative
policy of watchful waiting. ^
