JUSTICE AND PEACE.

A great deal of the peace move
ment appears to be due to senti-
ment. Patriotism expresses IT.
self in sentiment. but fundamen-
tally it is what Il man will sac
rifice for public sentiment. When
peace is conducted with an ele-
ment of self sacrifice we will not
need peace societies. The move
ment should not be so much
protest against the clash of ele-
ments as against the causes of
warfare. The only basis of peace
is justice. do not object to war
because ii Is cruel and unjust,
but because 1t Is a clumsy and
brutal instrument to get at JUS
tice. Warfare for right is hon
orable and will continue until
some substantial instrument for
the accomplishment Of justice IS
substituted. What is needed is
enlightenment in our own affairs
as well as international ques-
tons Mankind is an impartial
jury not because mankind is all
wise. but because most Of us
are not directly interested So
long as peoples knavery does
not lie all in one direction we are
safe. America started right with
declaration addressed to "a
decent respect for the opinions
Of mankind" 1t is necessary
that we get back to that funda-
mental belief. AS soon as we
are just to the people Of the
United States we will be in a pO-
sition to be an instrument for

cr the loss. A meeting of the stock

ways and means for rebuilding and
the officers inform us that it is their
intention to construct modern
plant >in every detail. The new
plant may possibly be located in this
city. as free Site has already
been rendered the corporation.
Mr.. Wallinc believes the fire was
caused by Spontaneous combustion in
he pipes on the second floor, but
no one knows the absolute origin and
perhaps never will.
That the plant will be rebuilt at
once there can be no doubt, as 1t is
absolutely necessary that tins be
done The plant has been produc-
ing about l75 900 to 100000 pounds
OF butter annually for several years
and it is very important factor

TRUANT SCHOOLS.

does not hesitate to steal from

not an eminently proper use of
public money to take the truant
from the streets and place him

trade, to work in the fields and.
above all. to get new habits by
and orderly routine of rising.

individual child himself is the
greatest benefit of all Only a
small percentage of the boys
whom we parole from the tru-

are taught the futility of the

BOON AND BoosT"

The Boom and Boost" meeting Of
the Citizens Association Monday ev-
ening was certainly great success
and augurs well for the future of Mt.
Vernon. With two hundred Mt. Ver-
non citizens assembled as members Of
the association, gathered for the one
purpose of the welfare of the city, and
with an evident intention to devote
some of their time and energy in the
future for the upbuilding and progress
of the city, there can be no question
OF the good results to be attained II
the spirit manifested at the meeting,
is continued.
Boom and Boost" the slogan adopt.
ed, Is an excellent one, and should
never be lost sight of. II each citizen
of Mt. Vernon, whether member Of
the Citizens Association or not, will
repeat that slogan to himself several
times day, It will not be long until
there will not be "knocker" In the
city, and everybody will be booster.
That is the right sort of spirit to pos.
sess every citizen.
The Citizens Association has accom-.
plished a great deal for Mt. Vernon,
and 1t can and will, accomplish much
more, II the people give the organiza-
ton their support, and at all times,
both at home and away from home,
have a good word to say for the city.
II Is a good thing to make a new
resolution now and this is an appro-
pirate time to make II. We are at the
Fourth of July season when the spirit
Of patriotism manifests itself stronger
i'm us than at any other time Of the
year And while this patriotic spirit
is bubbling within US, why not start
in and keep up local patriotic spirit
as applied to Mt. Vernon?
The thing to do Is to get the right
sort of spirit running through our sys.
TEN. and IL that kind of circulation is
going all right, the balance will be
easy, and II will not be long until the
most satisfactory results will be ac.
complished.

Dorgan didn't stop or slacken speed
