uncommon thing for the Board of Com

CATION of citizens to protest against the

the Commissioners are again confronted
with a delegation filing a protest and de-

Do We Need Soldiers,

When the Sunday News comes to me
turn at once to the letter of Sidney Her
bert and read it with interest; then
deeds of men whom the world calls he
roes, who may have been in past days a
seeming need, but who now must be
counted among the superfiuous products,
for the world has outgrown even the wish
to repeat the deeds of those who have
turned the earth upside down, and who
may safely and profitably be placed upon
the retired list, the military survivals."
The dawn of a better civilization has pro-
duced a substitute, and we realize that
the intellect of man must do away with
the appeal to force. If we accept Sher-
mans Interpretation of war, and for once
we may adopt his view, why longer cling
to it as a remedy for our ills? Why train
young men to do the work of slaughter,
when better fields are open to them?
Ernest Crosby believes that the time is
ripe for the appearance of a new Ger
vantes' who will show us the soldier as
he really Is, stripped of his adornments:
then we may know the cost and the re-
suit of his work. For If the majority of
men con be brought to see clearly the
truth as it now appears to Mr.. Crosby
and the few who think with him we shall
be relieved of a great burden

peaceful abode continue to glorify the
military heroes of the past, while realiz-
ing that our present age has no more

so as would be a deputation of butchers

may learn what Il is well TO avoid by
observing them.
