New York , Sept. 8. Former Prei

Ing In the Outlook today. He says
part :
"It Is one of our prime duties as
nation to seek peace. It Is an ev <
higher duty to seek righteousness.
Is also our duty not to Indulge
shams , not to make believe we a
getting peace by some patent contrl
anco which sensible men ought
know cannot work In practice ai
which , If we sought to make It wor
might cause irretrievable harm. I si
cerely believe in the principle of arl
tratlon ; I believe in applying that prl
ciplo so far as practicable ; but I b
Hove that the effort to apply it who
It Is not practicable cannot do go <
and may do serious harm. Confusi
thinking and willingness to substltu
words for thought , even though 1
spired by an entirely amicable sen
mentality , do not tend toward soui
action. "
Mr. Roosevelt cites the revolutlo
ary war , the civil war and the Spa
Ish-Amerlcan war as instances
which "we put righteousness abo1
peace. " He also cites the existing r
