many Of our history makers. The tomb
stones were old, so old that they were a

duct which would eliminate war In time.
Since his time in part by reason OF his
teaching and example in part thru the
general mental and moral advance which
we call civilization, most Of the causes
which served to make war necessity
have been eliminated. The conception of
the unity of the race. the fatherhood of
God, the brotherhood of man. has been
developed. as well as the clear percep-
ton that the prosperity or calamity OF
one nation effects in some degree all the
others The whole body OF international
law, the recognition OF the right of a ma
ton to conduct It's own affairs without
interference by another and the practice
Of arbitration have all been evolved. In
our own day a perfectly adequate tribunal
has been established for the adjustment
of national differences No excuse for
war remains except false idea OF ma
tional honor. inherited from barbarism, or
the purely selfish expectation Of gain. Can
we then imagine that Christ would ap.
prove a war wholly unnecessary and
waged from the most unworthy motives?
much harder question Is the place Of
pain in a divinely ordered universe. I
will state my own view. In a word, 1t Is
that pain is the chief agency in the de-
Xelopment Of the race. OF all the agencies

physical and mental, is obviously much

1t would naturally be directed to the re.

To the Editor Of The Journal,
My attention. has just been called to

can be found in the words or acts Of
Christ" you say: .l a.
The statement suggests question which We
do not pretend TO be able to answer. but one
which we would like to have answered for ma
1t Is admitted, we suppose, that Christ did rec
ogniZe a divine order in the life of mankind as
a part of nature; in that order there is a nIace
for individual human suffering. why not then
for nations en- masse? Why not for war? ~
No exception is, Of course, taken to
your implied dissent from my position,
but with your kind permission I should
like to suggest an answer. We may sup
pose that Christ did recognize individual
suffering as part of the divine order. a
necessity of mans environment, not as
desirable or an end in itself. He also rec

which would continue into the future.

THE OIL "OcToPUs"

How 1t Worked In Little Town

To the Editor Of The Journal
I have just read in T h 10 urna.I Of
Jan. 20 of the oil octopus efforts to con-
troll, the. oil trade in st. Paul, and it re-
minded me of what an Ohio lady told me
Their village was supplied by man with
a tank wagon. The Standard sent man
and team to the town. The people would
not buy Of him. He put the price down
but even then they would not buy. At
last he offered to GIVE to number of
them If they would let him fill the home
mans cans The upshot Of this sort Of
competition was that the home man had
to leave.
Why cannot people see that they gain
nothing by killing off their home trade?
If people. would not sanction the intru-
sion it would break up the monopoly.

literally for the climate, without kick

| mate Is a real asset. =a. s.:
The opportunity to make money Is not
| as good here, in my estimation, as in the
| northwest. Farming, when done at all,
| is on large scale. Horticulture is an
! important industry, and many people
make living out of it; but 1t takes time
| to grow fruit orchard. Peaches pears
and plums and such fruits take four
years to mature; oranges take six years,
and Is strictly a rich mans crop. be-
Tlieve a more sure living can be made
from twenty acres Of potatoes on the

oranges in southern California
Real estate IS In the air. Minneapolis

| From Ell Paso SOUTH and all over this

with sallews compilations and hollow
cheeksTand eyes, in search Of health, fol-
| lowing the sun around all day in the
| parks and other public places, as If their
lives depended upon it; stunned by their

many, as judged by their appearances,
having very little means, expecting i'm
mediate help from the climatic change;
seldom getting it; and eventually becom-

It's a great mistake for sick people to

an ideal winter climate but it Is not a
cure-all, by any means. If people come
early, they may get helped. but where
