II was drunk.
That tells the story. M e Davis
sober was an affable friend, an affec-
tionate husband and father. M. E.
Davis plus whisky was the senseless
wretch who turned his gun against the
one above all others whom he loved
and cherished.
II was drunk"
That was no excuse to plead before
the bar of justice save in mitigation of
the offense, else any man might go
and get drunk and kill with impunity.
81 didn't mean to harm hair of my
wife's head"
OF course he did not. 1t was not
Davis, but whisky, that pointed the
gun. But the law held Davis, not the
whisky responsible. When Davis was
arrested whisky was not arrested;
when he was tried before judge and
jury, whisky was not tried, when he
was sent to prison whisky was let go
scot free.
| Whisky is coward.
1t assumes none of the responsibility
which it creates. 1t gets men into trou-
BILE and leaves them there. 1t can make
difficulties, but it cannot solve prob
lens. 1t can put mems brains in a
tangle, but it cannot make their paths

Meanwhile inventors are busy devisinS
aerial warships and rapid slaughter
machines. One genius, it is reported,
has invented rife from which thou
sands of messengers of death may be
fired each minute. Inventions like
these are the best possible prevention
of war.
Still the very fact that people are
found who would prohibit or prevent
war on strictly humanitarian or con-
scientious principles, proves that the
world is growing better, not worse. In
olden times when physical strength
and prowess designated the king, can
ming, or man who was able to enforce
his order by mere physical superiority,
when a duel between Hector and
Achilles or David and Goliath decided
battle, was inexpensive and by en-
i
bracing a strong element of romance,
appealed to human sympathy. Since
that time it has grown in brutality
and ruthless slaughter while the
heroic element has given way to cold
blooded mathematical calculations,
causing wonder with strong mixture
of disgust
Directly the two events referred to
before, will not stop war, but indi-
rectly each will exert its influence
toward preventing the wholesale she'd
ding of human blood. There is very
little glory in war and such as is left
goes to the general whose superior cal
culations made victory certain; the
manned or dead on the battlefield pay
the bill.

The Hearst
Independent League.

The Hearst Independence League |
is today holding convention at Chi
cago, with pretensions to being ma
tional party and as such entitled to
nominate candidates for the federal
government.
On the face, it looks as if this is
essentially a one-man's league, and of
a sore-head at that. William Randolph
Hearst, the only son of the late Sen
ator George Hearst, of California, in
herited a colossal wealth from his
father, and this will be at least
doubled upon the death of his mother,
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, now a liberal
patroness of the University of Cali
fornia.
About twenty-four years ago the late
Senator bought the San Francisco Ex-
aminer for his son, then young grad
uate of Harvard. The new owner de-
voted himself heart and soul to his en-
terprise; while he engaged capable
men at liberal salaries, he studied
journalism from the very bottom and
worked as hard or harder than any
man employed by him. The Examiner
under it's former owner, Clarence R.
Greenhouse had been a conservative
| Democratic paper; Hearst adopted
sensational methods and by advocat.

rapidly placed his paper on paying
