Show - v"-r i ii ii m Those Who Cry for War There are ever two ends to to an nlley always two shores to a sea. There is a credit sido to war. Tne bayonet lias carried car-ried civilization as far as ever did the Bible or the bill of exchange. Were wo to war with Spain tt would be a healthy exorcise and sow a harvest of popular good, It would for one matter civilize Spain. Her barbarism and her ignorance would tall from her limbs like a garment laid off. Wo would flog her out of tho 10th and into tho 20th century. For ourselves war would bo a stimulus and an inspiration. It would be a fagot thrown on our fires of patriotism, trade dulled and dollar deadened for 30 years. It would wipe out Maon and Dixon's line and burn away tiic division fences between tho two sections. It would dc-story dc-story the bloody shirt. Wo would emerge em-erge from this baptism of battle witli no north, no south, no cast, no west; wo would be one people of one country. Alfred II. Lewis. .i i 1. 1 i .. tiii.. |
