THE DECLINE OF WAR.
Pursuit. OF Property and wealth the Mali
Cause.

Pursuit of Property and wealth the Main
Cause.
The warlike Temperament Of man has
been one of the most prominent char
acteristics from the earliest times. To
live to fight has been the chief aim OF
most primitive peoples, and has been a
leading occupation Of all civilized ones,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
Armies have grown in size, weapons
have multiplied in number and destruc-
tiveness, battles have grown more and
more deadly In action, while also be-
coming more merciful In their accom-
paniments; but still 1t is everywhere
apparent that, in spite of these aids to
carnage, the military spirit Is on the
decline.
May we not look for the cause Of this
in the enormously increased cost or
warfare and its Interference with the
pursuit of prosperity and wealth? When
the internal losses to people become
greater than those they can gain
through conquest and annexation they
will be very loath to enter into a great
conflict.
am very far from saying that many
other causes, such as ethics and a
growing spirit of mercy, may not have
contributed to this pacification of the ma
tions, but is 1t not true that the cost Of
war Is the chief preventative Of warf
If, so, does it not illustrate the rule
that the reactions set up by the vast
technical Improvement Of methods OF
destruction have reacted on the primi-
tive cause Of the destruction-viz, the
human willard have lessened the
cause by modifying the heart and brain
Of man?

A Fat woman.s Dilemma.

Among the passengers on an accomo-
dation train a few days ago was a very
stout old lady. She occupied an entire
seat because there was no room be-
side her for any one else. She looked
worried. Finally when the train was
nearing Haverford station she leaned
over and tapped the shoulder of a
young man in front Of her.

looked SO surprised that the old lady

Hsr . Southern Ranwav President Deals
with His Employees

Hsu . Southern Railway President Deals
with His Employees
Vice President Baldwin Of the South
ern railway has furnished an excel
lent example for the other railway man
ayers Of the country In dealing with en-
plOyes concerning wages and hours OF
work. When the trainmen Of that road
asked an increase of pay he did not re
fuse TO consider their request or reject
1t peremptorily, but asked two months
time to answer 1t, which they granted.
Then he proceeded to make an inves-
tigation of the condition and compen-
satiOn Of the men on his road In COM
parison with the employees OF other
roads, which resulted in the preparation
Of an elaborate report and the arrange
ment of a new schedule equalizlng the
wages and hours of work of all the
trainmen on the system. And when the
time came to give his answer the COM
mittee received 1t in the form of
printed pamphlet, giving also the new
schedule, which he asked them to ac-
cept, and statement Of the financial
condition of the road, showing its earn
ings and expenditures, and candid
explanation of the reasons why 1t was
impossible to give any increase Of pay
In this year.
A copy of this pamphlet was sent to
every employe of the road, and after
they had time to read and reflect upon
1t their committee was invited to per-
sonal conference which lasted two or
three days, and the whole subject was
gone over. The members of the COM
mittce representing the high-priced
men were ready to accept the schedule
at once, but the freight train crews and
the firemen objected and the chiefs of
the different brotherhoods were called
for advice.
Mr.. Baldwin did not decline to dis
cuss the affairs of the road with out
siders, as so many railway managers
have done, but invited them to con-
ference and went over the whole sub
ject with them at meetings that lasted
two days. They pointed out some de
fects in the schedule, which he prompt
ly corrected, and asked some modifica-
tions to meet the wishes of certain
classes of men, which We're made; but
there was no suggestion from any
source that was not carefully consider
ed and answered in a most courteous
and candid manner, and before the
conference ended the new schedules
were accepted and signed by the auth
orized representatives of all the differ
ent brOtherhoods.
