[speech: william howard taft]
and that the suffering, cruelty, corruption, and demoralization that following its train should be, as far as we can bring it about, lifted as a burden from the human race
it is our duty to take every legitimate and proper step we can to persuade the nations of the world to settle their controversies in some other ways
they are looking to us as a country independent of entagling alliances
separated from all possible attacks but two wide oceans
rich, powerful, and in a situation where n0body can accuse of being afraid of any nation or of taking this step because we are afraid of war, if war were a necessity
it is the common people of the world that are interested in this business
they know when we have war, it is they that have to bear the burden
it’s their sisters and mothers and daughters that have to wait trembling to hear the news from the battlefield to learn whether their dear ones have bitten the dust
it’s the great mass of the plain people that lincoln loves so well that have to stand the brunt of war
they do not have the glory of coming home with the gold plates and the feathers and all that falls to the leader
they are not elected presidents because they happen to be successful
they know the demoralization that follows in the wake of war
we should lead the way and all doubts is our— as to our constitutional authority
should be resolved in favor of our stepping forward as a nation
with the power, the wealth, the fortune, and the opportunity that god has given us
to help along the movement of christian progress towards permanent peace
