Doubtless there are some Americans of unquestionable loyalty, who hold views on this subject as colorless as those expressed this morning by Mr. Shubow; but it doesn't make the rest of us any more certain of their loyalty to have them attempt to show that the Country is "politically intolerant"--simply because this bunch of poisonous reptiles is being driven out. It would be just as reasonable to say that Massachusetts is "intolerant," because convicted murderers in Massachusetts are sent to the electric chair...
Average Americans! Roosevelt hits it, and yet he doesn't hit it, in his title. Who are the average Americans? Are they the men of the A. E.

But Mr. Carver doesn't advocate that, for he says "If . . . the principles of peace triumph, civilization will advance." He means, of course, that we have done well to give up our attempt to smash a new system of government with guns; we should try the methods of peace and understanding, that we may not drift "toward another Dark...
