IN FOOTSTEPS OF THE GREAT,
Kindly Encouragement for Young Men
Working Their Way.

Two young college men were indus
triously spending their summer vaca-
ton in the testing room of a large
electric manufacturing works, where
they were able to supplement their
studies at the technical school by prac-
tical application and experience. The
July afternoons were long, and the
work at times very slack, so in one
of these intervals of halfidleness the
young men determined to turn to and
give the laboratory Ia which they
worked a thorough cleaning. 1t was
at this idncture that the janitor hap
pened dlong-an old retainer whose
years OF usefulness had long since
passed. but who still made a feeble,
shiftless pretense of keeping busy, and
was indulgently carried along on the
payroll of the company. Catching

That Surprise Party.

An Atchison man who was the sub

to see a lawyer. He says the people

SMITHS HIDE ON FENCE.
Los Angeles Chamber Of Commerce Skins Mendaeious Congressman.

The Los Angeles Chamber of Com merce has adopted resolutions peel ing the hide off Congressman Smith for what it bruntly describes as his grossly unfair, misleading and false statements, calculated to deceive members of congress and other per sons not acquainted with the facts, to the prejudice of the Forestry Bureau, and to the injury of Los Angeles in connection with it's project for obtain ing a water supply from the Owens River Valley"
 Smith endeavored, in his speech, to discredit and iniure the city's wa ter project by asserting that nothing has been done toward carrying it out, except some surveys and some ef- forts to finance that undertaking" '" This assertion, says the Chamber, was false, as Smith we'll knew, or might easily have ascertained had he desired to make a candid and truth full statement on the subject.
 More than 700 men are at work on the aqueduct, a contract for a million dollar siphon is about to be let by the city and one tunnel has been driv- en 1,5O0 feet already.
 The Chamber of Commerce recog- nizes as true one statement made by Smith, namely;
 "I have been resisting it( the exten- sion by the forest reserve) in season and out of season for nearly year. have been doing all that I could to block the progress of the movement from the time 1t began" and the Chamber finds, in the mental attitude thus revealed, the reason and the ami mus which prompted Smith in mak- ing the misrepresentation and mis- statements of which his argument in the house is chiefly composed.

MONEY THE PEAcEMAKER.
Capital Is the Force That Restraints
 the Dogs of War.

Capital is the only truly internation- al force of the modern world. In the Middle Ages the Church stood above kings; now the rulers of kings are the cosmopolitan financiers.
 When an ancient king thought of going to war he first considered whether he could meet with ten thous- and men the enemy that came against him with twenty thousand. If the pros pect seemed unpromising, he made peace quickly. Now the first question Is whether the finance minister can raise a satisfactory loan. If not, the war is of. And it happens that the very men who must furnish the money for destruction are the owners of a good part of the property that is to be de- stroyed. Formerly there was victory and defeat; now there is only defeat, for whoever wins, business, which is the common interest of all mankind, must lose.
 Even in the romantic days of chiv- airy, people used to fight, not only because they liked it, but especially because they thought they could make something out of it. The fact that modern war is reaching the stage in which none of the parties to it can make anything, but all must inevitably lose, explains better than the growth of peace societies why nations are less willing to fight now than they ever were before.
 We find ourselves, therefore, in this situation. Every great nation in the world, and indeed almost every na- tion, great or small, is spending from a fifth to a third of its income on pre- parations for doing the greatest pos sible injury to it's own people. It is as if the guests at colored ball should go armed with razor blades without handles, ready to begin the festivities by cutting their own hands. The statesmen of the world, who are com monly supposed to have somewhat higher grade of intelligence, are spend ing thousands of dollars in just that way. The suppression of the razor budgets would transform the rocky roads over which most Finance Min isters are hobbling snro aowery beds of ease. As long as war meant simply trying to injure one's neighbor, the Golden Rule was powerless to stop it. Now that it means injuring ones self the Golden Rule is re-enforced by practical sense.-S. E.
