TOLERANCE
Is there any quality more desir
able in these excitable times than
sane, reserved, calm tolerance? If
there is, it must be a wondrous vir
tue.
In our intense desire to be truly
patriotic we are often inclined to
jump at conclusions, to go off at half
trigger, to be swept on the heights of
enthusiasm toward foolish and illogi
cal acts. It is undoubtedly better, of
course, to be an unthinking patriot
than an unjustified neutral, but there
really is not so much difference; the
one does both good and ill for his
country, the other does nothing at
all.
We should work sincerely to de
velop this attitude of tolerance to
ward the world, of calm judgment in
everything we do, whether it be in
the ordinary routine of every' day life
or in the special act inspired by pat
riotism. The soldier in battle uses
the judgment of military order and
formation; he does not let his he
roic impulses send him out on wild
goose chases that would not only
waste his own usefulness, but be
detrimental to the successful accom
plishment of what the regiment set
out to do. Similarly we should be
sure of our footing before we attempt
anything in the name of. patriotism
that endangers the peace of mind and
welfare of others.
There are numerous examples of
misdirected partiotism that come to
our attention every day. Always the
impulse is sincere, but emotion and
snap judgment distort the point of
view. Certain newspapers, for in
stance, recently caused a lot of hys
terical talk and wasted a lot of per
fectly good energy by flaring forth
with an article which purported to
show that Nebraska University,
through the kaiser's agents, was
spending more money for the teach
ing of the German language than it
was for instruction in the mother
tongue. It turned out later, of course,
that the man who started the story
didn't know what he was talking
about. In his eager look about him
to find some patriotic work to do. he
saw what he thought was a terrible
state of affairs and without taking
time to inquire thoroughly he set In
motion a big storm of protest.
No one who is himself a true
American has ever ventured to doubt
the sincerity of the writer of the ar
article. As is always the case, his
motive was sincere and his purpose
commendable. But he did not as
sume toward the matter the sane at
titude of tolerance that he should.
Had he proceeded on the assumption
that the University was doing its
duty and had not been bamboozled by
the kaiser, and had then looked into
the matter carefully, he would have
saved the University a great deal of
unpleasant notoriety and would not
have thrown temporary shadows of
dishonor upon the members of the
faculty employed in German instruc
tion. This example is cited because
every student knows of it. There
is an incredible lot of similar intol
erant, unthinking, blundering work
going on. As students we can at
least train ourselves to be sane and
tolerant if we are not in a position
to advise others to be so.
side world and to her own people, the
truth is that she is facing fearful odds
and is in dire straits. The embargo
placed by President Wilson on Amer
ican shipments to neutrals struck Ger
many a body blow, and shipments to
her from South American countries
are going to be stopped or greatly cur
tailed through our influence and our
control over coal supplies needed by
their navies and industries. Ger
many's efforts for peace are dictated
largely by fear of America and Ameri
ca's power. The German people are
crying for peace, and the time has
come or is shortly coming when the
German Imperial government must
needs listen to the German people.
They are being fed now on hopes of
victory and stories of dissensions
among the American people and a
lack of support of our government by
our people.
No more convincing argument could
be made to the people of Germany of
the hopelessness of victory being ob
tained by continued fighting than a
great subscription to the liberty
loan, demonstrating not only the tre
mendous power of America, but the
fact that the American people are
whole-heartedly in favor of prosecut
ing the war with vigor and willing to
finance our government to the limit.
Every purchase of a liberty loan
bond not only supplies the sinews of
war but it shoots a fact into the Ger
man mind the fact that the Ameri
can people are behind the American
army and behind the American presi
dent, and that there is no end to this
war except the achievement of the
ends that America is fighting for.
Every purchaser of a liberty bond
does something to end the war, does
something to shorten the war.
When you shorten the war you
shorten the terms of our soldiers who
serve in France; you save many from
death and suffering and privation.
You save others from the dangerous
voyage across submarined seas and
the dangers of service in Europe. The
success of the liberty loan will be a
shortening of the war and a saving of
American lives. We have given our
sons to battle, we must lend our dol
lars to back them up, to make them
powerful and effective, and as safe
and as secure as may be.
