I need not go into details. the humblest wageearner in the land knows what this means. A republic based upon a declaration of equality to all its citizens and operated by the consent of the majority of the people only needs sufficient soldiery to police and defend in emergency. but where a minority class seeks to throttle and hold the majority in subjection and slavery force is required. and the standing army is the most suggestive and the most potent. We need not tell the naturalized citizens who came from any of the provinces of European nations the effect of militarism. They know what a government by force means. In the selection of a standing army only those physically and mentally sound are enlisted. and thus it is the greater the army the less the mental and physical average of those remaining to father the future generations.
