I Am Public Opinion 
All men fear me! 
I declare that Uncle Sam shall not go 
to his knees to beg you to buy his 
bonds. That is no position for a fight- 
ing man. But if you have the money 
to buy and do not buy, I will make 
this No Man s Land for you! 
I will judge you not by an allegiance 
expressed in mere words. 
I will judge you not by your mad cheers 
as our boys march away to whatever 
fate may have in store for them. 
I will judge you not by the warmth of 
the tears you shed over the lists of the 
dead and the injured that come to us 
from time to time. 
I will judge you not by your uncovered 
head and solemn mien as our maimed 
in battle return to our shores for loving 
care. 
But, as wise as I am just, I will judge 
you by the material aid you give to 
the fighting men who are facing death 
that you may live and move and have 
your being in a world made safe. 
I warn you — don’t talk patriotism over 
here unless your money is talking vic- 
tory Over There. 
I am public opinion! 
.Is I judge, all men stand or 
fall!
