Art there atty things In life worth the ►uin of human blood and human suf fering, the aum of far-reaching injus tice* which war coat*? It la Incredible that In this age of supposed enlightenment there yet re main tho*e who *lncerely believe that civilization cun progreM out of mur der and Woodshed. t' we are to meeaure natlona by the wealth and the territory they achieve through killing out other natlona. then we face ttie conclusion that the sur vtval of the fttle*t meßna merely the ■urvlval of the most ruthless and aav age. The rhyatcal and moral horror* of war are tlitnga over which hlalorlana discreetly drop a curtain, while the glory of the great aneriflce and the hcrolatn of those who were offered upon bnUlefteld I* *ung and lauded on all aldea. la the game worth the candle? la the game of kingdoms and empire*, w hich act a for Ita prise the dominion of one power over another, worth ttie sacred ftnine of human life that ta burned for tt? la the spangle of each separate hu man life Indeed *uch a trifle that it may be poured out without meaaure to pay for the thing that ruler* call “success?*' This question of whit Justifies n«- ttoniil com petit lon tn the destruction of human life end human works comes right down to another question. In what does our love of country find Its roots? Arc we to value our lives as nothing If the call shall corns to spend them that our country may grow greater In wealth and larger In territory? At. Jules Payot, tn a French school hook, attempts to answer these qnes tlons. He rejects the Idea that one l ’country'’ means ones native soil, el even one's community of Interests. He rejects the idea that such motives a.< these afford lire worth the price of taking and giving up life. "No!” lie exclaims, "1 cannot consent to be » murderer or to die myself save for a good that Is highrr than Hfe. save for a duty that Is more Imperious than t'-e essential duty of respecting the lives of others." Hut there Is one thing that M Payot believes to be of supreme value, one thing that he believes ts worth the price of wsr and one only. This one thing lies at the foundation of moral duties snd ts the very reason for civi lisation "It Is ths right of being a man; it Is the right of guarding In tact my dignity as a citlsen; It Is the light to go and come as 1 please In my own country, to pay no tax save that of my own levying, to speak my own language freely, to bs subjected to tbe law of no despot, man or natu a of prey ' This ts th« voice of republicanism crying ngutnst the tyrannies of kings the ideal of freedom reud-r against that of dominion. The ultimaje end u! the great waste and ruin now gt>. Ing on In Europe must come to thla: •hall the people be free or shall the power of rulers be absolute? It Is true that In this struggle em pire ts against empire, but before It is ended we shall hear the voice of the people raised against the voice of their rulers, for even eucceee In devastation and death cannot hrtng success in autocracy.
