But common 8 ense tella me that wara are the product ot crooked thin.k.lng. Ideas are civilization 'a dyna.miCI, and times like these bring out, in bold r• lief, authors of popular political philo. ophies. France has her Velberta and Ren&ala, who tea.ch that " war iJ a necessary oceasion for t)le Jll'&Jliteetatlou of nwral fol"(!e " ; England, her ll.ahiDI, who a11lrm "the old predatory iDJtinet that be ahoufd take fto !au tile pOwer "; Germany, her Nietuchea, Bent· hardi.s and Bteinmetzea, who preaeh that 11 war itt an ordeal inatituted by God " ; our own country, & Homer Lea. who tells 01 that " war u a pet'11l&Uni human obligation. " That ad.hereue to th t>se pbtlosopbie conceptiotll hu mode Europe an armed oamp, iJ very tnct ; that there is 11 present tendeney among our own folk to aubJCrlbe to elm· ilnr ·onceptions, is evidenced by the journalistic jingoism which atriv11 to people the American mind with a myrincl of hnlludnntory fots. I am not 10 good ns to think e\•ery man my friead, nor am 1 80 fearful u to thJnk eve11 man my loe. My contention u that these accepted war .phiLoeopbJee are the product. ot a. one-aided tbialdua, and that their ideas stand fixedly in the first impression ot the storfec1 Arab who, nt even time, looked aerou the duert and, seeing tho fiaure ot a. ma.n approa.chlng, instantly leveled bit muket and murmured: " 'Th1 an enemy"i bot the form drew nearer, he lowered 1111 his gun and said: 11 ' Til a atra.npr"; and when the flgure came into foil view he dropped his mUJket and f1Ul· ning ,forward eried : u'Ti.s my bJ>Other."
