Juneipid R oundu p Annii al 3rxx X O 00 of I|t0 (Eountry cyl Man Should be as Ready to Sacrifice His Property as His Life Nations, as they exist today, are organization of man — organizations that have been formed for the mutual benefit of the individuals of whom they are composed. The greatest nations are those that have been born in an hour of crisis, a time when a great principle was at stake and there were none but men to uphold it. When a man is a citizen of such a nation, he is bound not only to up- hold his country in time of war or period of peace ; but is bound, by his oath of allegiance, to the principle for which the nation stands. He has given his word; if that be broken, his honor is gone and he may justly be branded a coward. But, as long as men ' s opinions differ, the principles upon which na- tions are founded will be antagonistic. If, by the coercion of events not under the control of human hands, such opposing principles come into open hostility, the men who support those principles should give their lives for the stake involved and for the most part do. Some men, of course, are cads, and when called upon to fight are found wanting. Such men are not worthy of consideration. There are men, however, who would gladly die for their country, but who are continually howling about the high taxes. Such men may be patriots at heart, but they are sadly mistaken ones. All that they have they owe to the government that made their wealth possible, and yet they, whiningly, seek to withhold it. They would give their life-blood for their country, yet would not give their labor-sweat for their nation ' s wel- fare. Their slogan is Millions of lives, but not one cent for defense. Is such a course reasonable? Is it even consistent? No man is truly worthy of the name of citizen unless he be absolutely loyal, — so loyal that an attempt to buy him is worse than an attempt to murder him. If he lives up to that degree of loyalty, it must inevitably follow that every ounce of his power, every fiber of his being, every atom of his manhood will be at the service of that principle for which he and his country stand. Then, both in spirit and in truth, all that he is and has will be so wrapped up in the welfare of his country and its all-pervading principle that he would gladly sacrifice his life and property to the welfare of cause and country.
