Certain it is that the duty of those who believe the war is wrong is fearlessly and publicly to say so, after the manner of that enlightened group in England which, with David Lloyd-George as its spokesman, rendered such loyal service to freedom and fair-play and all that England aspires to be by publicly denouncing the Boer War and boldly refusing to countenance or further it in any way. Such a group of men, if we had it, and if they were sincere, would be of tremendous moral value in our community today. In those who believe, however...

It is marred by occasional exaggerations and the style is a little too elaborate and rhetorical throughout. The editorials, which...
...This means, first of all, that he must have some human sense, some insight into his fellow-men and some grasp on all those processes whereby our complex society is carried on. He must know history, politics, economics. He must be sensitive to civic and economic wrong. He must feel the drive of our common life forward toward better institutions and relations...
