WARFARE SHOULD END FOR ALL TIME Ten years ago the world war had begun and was raging in Europe. The United States, at that time, was not engaged in it, nor was there thought that this country would become engaged in it. But the unparalleled struggle took its awful course through four appalling years. It finally came to an end, with millions slain, with other millions maimed, with tens of billions of dollars of property destroyed. Whole countries were left almost in ruins. Was that war necessary? No! Ten million times, NO! It was so unnecessary—so agonizingly cruel—so colossally amitious, that the world should catch the lesson and never—never—let it be repeated. Mankind has advanced so far, that wars should be unnecessary. That is, wars should be regarded as unnecessary. They are unnecessary, in truth. But hitherto it has been impossible to convince a large portion of the human race that wars are not required. The United States may well aid each and every practical well-digested movement for the ending of warfare, provided such movements do not involve this country in the domestic political affairs of foreign countries. The national budget system should be conserved in its integrity against any and every assault that may be made against it. MIDWEST ROAD PROGRESS NOW REMARKABLE Concrete is taking the place of the bog roads of Missouri and other Midwestern states.

MIDWEST ROAD PROGRESS NOW REMARKABLE Concrete is taking the place of the bog roads of Missouri and other Midwestern states. With a showing of pardonable pride, the Kansas City Star says that it is now possible to drive from Kansas City to Topeka, seventy five miles, over the newly paved Victoria highway. Concrete avenues reach in other directions to Leavenworth, and toward St. Joseph and Excelsior Springs. “This sort of thing,” says the Star, “is going on in every part of Missouri and in many parts of Kansas.” One taste of a permanently paved highway is enough to convince the most backward community. Just how much California’s pioneering in road construction has influenced the central states can not be definitely known; but it is a fact that one of the Oklahoma state highway commissioners was formerly a newspaper editor in Los Angeles county, and it is an open secret that thousands of people from other parts of the Republic tour the west every season. Whatever the source of the inspiration, the results are highly gratifying. California is interested in the road progress of Missouri, and of Kansas, and of all states, because Californians oftentimes go a-touring; and they hope some day to find hard surface boulevards all the way from Coast to Coast, and from border to border by many convenient cross-country routes. California will profit also from the increased travel which will come westward as roads are more inviting. One of the great Smith family has led the flying expedition around the world.

PARAGRAPH By ROBERT QUILLEN Usually a ballot is just the result of the normal functioning of a prejudice. Most people who are forever having their feelings hurt no even more of it. Daughters seem to think three R's stand for rouge, rile and rest. Alas! If they have been married a year the Daily Dozen do not refer to kisses. Fable: He received urgent calls from great churches, though he preached the simple gospel. There’s always something. But the time you get the girls marries off you begin to develop rheumatism. Japan will mobilize, also, just for fun; but no official word has come from Haiti. Drat it! One can't be a he-man without herding cattle, and nearly all the big herds are gone. A free country is one in which everybody feels qualified to tell the chief executive how to do it. The test of free speech is to listen while the other fellow expresses views you don't like. It isn't the bride his sisters dislike. They merely dislike giving up their job of boasting him. Some little girls are normal and happy, and some are frequently reminded of their finger nails. Another dangerous form of violent exercise is shop-lifting. And a great many people espouse modernism for the same reason that our child likes a new doll. WHAT IS THE PICKWICK SYSTEM?

ABE MARTIN DINNER SHOWES Sir Frank Lockwood, one of the most brilliant advocates of the English bar, was famed alike for his witticisms and his professional acuteness. Touching a remark as to the extraordinary dulness of certain men who have occupied the judicial bench in England, he used to relate in the following words an instance within his own experience: A man had stolen a spade, and was tried before a stupid, but well meaning and thoroughly sonscientious magistrate. He carefully looked up "Archibald's Criminal Law" to find a precedent on which he could convict and punish the man. "I can't find anything under the word 'spade,'" said he, "although I see that a man was convicted and severely punished for stealing a shovel." Then, looking at the culprit severely over his spectacles, he added, "you have had a very narrow escape, but you may go now." They fell of a former Broadway bartender who decided to become a sheep herder in Arizona after prohibition. One of his patrons offered him the job on his ranch. Three weeks later the boss turned up at the ranch. "Well, I guess you've come to fire me," said the ex-bartender. "No. Don't you like the job?" "Yes, I like it, but are you sure you want me to stay?" "Certainly." "Well, if you want me to stay on you'll have to get some new sheep. All them old ones has lit out on you."

He recently arrived in this country to conduct for a season. The conductor has had a brilliant career. He was born in Tver, in the northern part of Russia in 1874. His first musical instruction was given him in his home. His progress was so precocious that at the age of 12 he became conductor, for two years, in the theatre of his native town. He had not only to conduct, but to compose music for the dramas performed in the theatre. At 14 Kaussevitzky entered the Moscow conservatory. There he became a pupil on the double-bass of Rambausse and developed such rigidity on this clumsy instrument that he succeeded his professor as teacher of it at the Conservatoire and later became the most famous double-bass virtuoso in the world. Forms Student Orchestra All along, however, he had ambitions to become a conductor. In 1907 he formed an orchestra from the pupils of the Hochschule Berlin, with which he worked two years, studying chiefly the bass and Wagner. Returning Russia in 1909 he organized the Kaussevitzky Orchestra, which became famous, and also gave performances at his Moscow concerts with a chorus of 250 pieces. In the summer, for many years, he toured the provinces with his orchestra and inaugurated the series of famous tours to the ports of the Volga. For these tours he engaged a special help with a platform at the back and sailed from port to port, introducing in many places that had ever heard an orchestra the work great masters.

COMMENTS OF the PRESS What Editors Are Saying THIS CRIME THING—St. Paul News Word from Chicago is that the Loeb-Leopold hearing will cost the community not less than $600,000. That sum is less than a regular trial would have cost, but it is illuminative in that it informs the public, not only there but everywhere, that crime is enormously expensive in dollars and cents, to say nothing of its hideousness. Chicago now has attained a record of a murder a day. Not all of these crimes will entail such expenses as are attached to the Loeb-Leopold hearing, but no one of them will fail to take its money toll from the pockets of the taxpayers. And what is true of Chicago is also true in every other community where crimes, great or small, are committed. Every time an offense against the law is perpetrated, whether it be of minor or major degree, it reaches into the pocket of every citizen and takes therefrom, in cold cash, either so many cents or so many dollars, as the case may demand. We deprecate it but do not measure crime for what it is. We look upon it as merely an infringement or assault of one or more persons upon others, individually or collectively and in one way or another—as a shock to the human sensibilities. It is all of that and far more. It is a money tax of burdensome size. It is something that we permit to be forced on us, and for which we must and do pay in cold, hard cash. It is something that impoverishes us not only morally, physically and mentally, but financially. The remedy is in the hands of civilization everywhere. That crime's repulsive face leers at us from every angle is our fault and our alone. And we pay a heavy price for that leer. PROMOTING COURTESY—Glenaldale News On the menus of the Pullman Company there appears this request: "Will you please report to the management any unusual courtesies or attention on the part of employees?" This is much better policy than that used by most big corporations who ask that unattention and discourtesy be reported, thereby placing the employee on the defensive, and making it easy for the patron to find fault. The Pullman way assumes that the employee is honorable and loyal to the company and tends to make the patron believe that he is going to get good service. Both the company and the patron are likely to have the goodwill of the employee if they are looking for it, and the reverse is true also. INJUSTICE It is not what a man outwardly has or wants that constitutes the happiness or misery of him. Nakedness, hunger, distress of all kinds, death itself have been cheerfully suffered, when the heart was right. It is the feeling of injustice that is innermostly true. INJUSTICE It is not what a man outwardly has or wants that constitutes the happiness or misery of him. Nakedness, hunger, distress of all kinds, death itself have been cheerfully suffered, when the heart was right. It is the feeling of injustice that is insupportable to all men, observes Thomas Carlyle. "The brutalist black African cannot bear that he should be used unjustly. No man can bear it, or ought to bear it. A deeper law than any parchment law whatsoever, a law written direct by the hand of God in the inmost being of man, incessantly protests against it." he writes. What is injustice? "Another name for disorder, for unveracity, unreality; a thing which veracious created Nature rejects and disowns," answers Carryle. "It is not the outward pain of injustice; that, were it even the flaying of the back with knotted scourges, the severing of the head with guillotines, is comparatively a small matter. The real smart is the soul's pain and stigma, the hurt inflicted on the moral self. "The rudest clown must draw himself up into attitude of battle, and resistance to death, if such be offered him. He cannot live under it; his soul aloud, and all the Universe with silent beckonings, says, 'It cannot be.' He must revenge himself. There is something infinitely respectable in this, and we may say universally rejected; it is the common stamp of manhood vindicating itself in all of us, the basis of whatever is worthy in all of us, and through superficial diversities, the same in all." As disorder, insane by nature of it, is the hatefulest of things to man, who lives by sanity and order, so injustice is the worst evil; some call it the only evil, in this world. All men submit to toll, to disappointment, to unhappiness; it is their lot here; but in all hearts, inextinguishable by sceptic logic, by sorrow, perversion or despair itself, there is a still small voice intimating that it is not the final lot; that wild waste, incoherent as it looks, a God preides over it; that it is not an injustice, but justice. Yet one would say, a permanent injustice even from an Infinite Power would prove unendurable by men." The key to the age may be this, or that, or the other, as the young orators describe; to Emerson the key to all ages is—Imbecility; imbecility in the vast majority of men at all times, and even in heroes in all but certain eminent moments; victims of gravity, custom and fear. This gives force to the strong—that the multitude have no habit of self-reliance or original action," he concludes. Snappy New Styles THE new Stetson Styles for this season please us immensely.
