c untries.
<h< uld die f>*rilines of war favor the German empire at sea
end the American marked la o; en to the commerce of the Teu
tonic nation-. the effect of such an order by the German govern
ment would be demoralizing to a far floater degree than can re
,-r j from the British order Where one American linn or cor
j ..ration ha.- favored the German cans*.. probably ten have fa
\. ivd sl at of the aides, both by subscribing to loans and by j rnp
airnnda again-; Gwinan methods of warfare. Were the tabk to
! turned there would be a great harve.-t in .-lore for Am email
bii-iness houses of pro-German tendencies.
But the hue and cry that is being ra>ed throughout the coun
try against the Briti-h action and the talk of organizing a. nation
wide movement to lake action in the matter i.- another example
et the over ofiiciousness of those who are ever zealous to dictate
to the con.-tituted authorities as If) their duties in case of emer
gency. The probabilities are that the administration and con
gee--, which are intrusted with the affairs of the nation, are well
able to handle the situation without meddling from self-consti
t u-d organizations for the guardianship of the national welfare
and honor.
A fact which should not be lost sight of. and which has an
jm; ortant bearing upon .my quarrel which we may have with
Great Britain, is that no matter what may develop, the interests
of the country are safeguarded and reparation for injury is in
jured without resort to arms. By the terms of the treaty in effect
between Great Britain and the United States it is possible to re
dress grievances such as the one in question by peaceable means.
So at there is no call for undue excitement, even though an
inyi'tice has been done to some of our citizens. This will not aid
a Miiution; and it may be depended upon that a satisfactory ad
ju.-tmei ; of the trouble will lie made eventually.

As ha-- always been the case where an attempt has been made
in American elections to deliver the solid vote of any certain cle
ment of American citizenship to one candidate or party, the effort
i divert the solid German-American vote to Hughes is doomed
to failure. It has no more chance of success than had former
attempts to deliver the “Irish vote,” the “labor vote” and the
“church vote.” Speaking as a Germ an - Ameri c an recently at St.
Louis. Charles Boesshenstein, Democratic national committeeman
from Illinois, said in answer to Louis E. Brandt ci the Chicago
Staats-Zeitung, spokesman for the German-American Alliance,
who asserted that the organization would favor Hughes: “Ger
umil-Americans will decide Dr themselves. It is an insult to their
intelligence for any self-appointed racial exploiter to attempt to de
liver them bodily to Mr. Facing Both ways.” This name, taken
! frr-m "Pilgrim’s Progress,” it is explained, is applied by Mr.
Boessbenstcin to former Justice Hughes, whose candidacy is de
: Mgned to catch the voters coming and going. He is. said i*'f
(ominitteeman, the pet candidate of certain elements who main
lain that Wilson i.s too severe wi ll Germany.

country. At the outbreak of ihe Kuropean war, Mr. Smyth said,
Valise her, v\ln» w:a in Germany, volunteered his services to his
c, i ntry. although he was pa.11 the age limit. He was told to
i;:i■ New \ ork and report to \ on Papen. ‘‘1 will be glad to
Pm ; 11 1 can for my c mntry,” Mr. Smyth quoted Tau.eher as sav

I Tin* fact th.fit a :V.v Progressve national cnmini-w-emen voted

u'nr.-e Mr. IT;;gh<and a few more declined to vme a the quc'
tion. need blmd no one as to the true significance of ■ iiat took
place in Chicago.
It the practical dissolution of the Progressive pai y as a
national party, it \v:b a recognition on the part of two-thirds of
the members of the committee of a fact already practical y accom
plished. The Progressive party cannot be kept up with ike sup,
port of Idaho. Kentucky. Montana. North Carolina. Rhode I.dai.d
and I'tah. the staies which voted “no.” Nor with the e and tie ■
who refused to vote.
Tiie fact that the committeemen from these states contented
themselves with voting “no” or declining to vote, without indi
cating any intention or even hope of carrying the party through
the pre-ent campaign, shows that they, too, realize the hopeless
ness of the situation. They would not vote to indorse Mr. Hughes,
but they would not attempt to indorse anyone et c as a candidate
f.-r their party. That is only another way of saying what the
majority practically said, that the end has come.
It is true that the resolutions of the national committee sim
ply “indorse and concur in the recommendations of Colonel Roose
velt.” It is also true that the committee recommended that “rhe
organization of the Progressive party be preserved so far as is pos
| sible and n> far as is best consistent with the purpose of national
1 service.” There is thus no formal dissolution. But the facts are
I more eloquent than any form.
ProgressivCm, however, survives. It survives in the platforms
of both the Republican and Democratic parties. It survives in the
spirit of the leaders and followers who will return, as a rule, to
the party whence they came. It will no doubt survive in the form
of a local or independent organization in several states for a while.
I But it will take a great event to rekindle it to the flame of 1912.

H-MAPiSHAL H. K. LOVE
WINS PRIZE FOR ESSAY
The following fmm the ‘ (Cal.>
! Tribune rf recent date tells of th literary
-s of 11 iv Love, ex United States
marsh .1 A this divi-ion, and a former
member of Ohmei Roosevelt’s regiment of
K,Rider- during the 5 anku-Spanko
■ H. Iv. Love of 570 Fi’.inimnt avenue has
!,■ -warded the S250 prize offered by the
National Security League in its .-vrond prAe
contest for the best essay < n ‘National Se
curity a- It Invoices the Pre; aration and
U.-e of the Citizenry.’ The essay has be i.
printed by the league and sent broadcast
from it-> rfkee.- in New 1 ork.
** ‘C-* it airly not site:- the months pre
ceding the civil war lias the nation thought
so much.’ said Love in thr es-ay. ‘or its
though: been so c wwo-i up u a single sub
[ j.-et. The ques:ii’U is tl.vays. Is it neces
| . arv to prepare for national defense? if so.
! to what extent and hr .v? What policy our
| government should adopt for “security” is
i the in;i.st important question since that of
(hattel slavery. As finally decided, it may
prove epochal for good or ill. If we do not
arm. it is possible we may thereby aid in
making an end to war. If we arm, and by
so doing safeguard popular government,
American ideals and the white race, we may.
and most likely will, be best helping the
cause of universal peace under Caucasian
leadership.
" ‘If. then, it be conceded that wars are
not about to cease, and we are not to be
! exempt therefrom; that to arm is probably
Jo help the cause ol universal peace, and
is necessary for our own welfare an l n
order that we may do our duty to our race
I and to civilization, the way is cleared for
the consideration i our security an i the
u-e and preparation of the ci.i/emv there
Sir.’
“Later in the essay he writes:
“ ‘We fervently believe that American
i-leals are a need of the world and should be
cherished and developed. We hd'pve, n»i
withstanding manifest shortcomings, that
America holds the best hopes of mankind.
Such being our conscientious belief, our
pl n duty is t-» preserve and defend our
land and our institutions to the utlermo t ;
any other conception of duty is but pu d
lanimou .’
I ove advocated the merit system of
promotion among officers and men in the
army and the government control of sev
•a 1 <li t ri<-1 schools where teaching should
be molded along civic and governmental
I •witii military training enforced. Drill
in,; of recruiis, he says, should be mad-*
(s.mnoi'nry m all cities and universal tram
ire; should be taken up v.oth a hearty tie
terminal i n by tin* ?n:d • populace.”
