The Washington herald., 1912-09-22

I'VE have learned the great power OF
cooperation in business dealings be-
tween individuals and this is opposed
to war between nations.
The masses from which the human
are setting a higher value upon their
own life and health. and this reduces the
chances of war.
Work Appeals Most.
There can be but one logical conclu-
sion to the conservation movement II
is illogical that a people that would in
telliSently and enthusiastically cooperate
to prevent waste of material wealth and
human life in the vocatiOns of peace
would lightly sacrifice both through the
destructive agency of war. War is the
very antithesis of conservation. The
tive ideas are uncompromisingly an
tagonistic.
Another notable indication OF the COM
ing day of peace is the great change that
young men toward military life. Work is
the Alpha and Omega of our creed. The
essential idIeness of the military career
does not appeal TO American ambition.
Soldering has become a synonym for
'loafins' for the dishonorable shirking
of labor. Not only is there Increasing
difficulty in enlisting men. but even the
honor of being educated at the govern
ment's expense in our military and naval
academies is no longer eagerly sought
as of old; the honor now often has to
seek the man."
