| fife case the human powers working i for righteousness will exactly agree 1 as to what is truth and righteousness. 1 That time is not yet, but We may not neglect the lessons of our history, or | fail to take all such physical precau- ! tions as tend to prevent the catac-
 clyms of ruin and destruction which
 war brings upon a people, 1 believe tory pointing to the bringing on of war by our military establishment. | But we have only to run the files of history and of our diplomatic and oth- CT similar records to learn that the | existence of such establishment, mea- ger as it has been, has more than once saved us from war.
 It is not playing soldier" that these
 militiamen are called to, but real la
 bor, real study and real training by exercise for the highest purpose that man social is ever called upon to pur
 sue However much individuals of these organizations seem to ignore this, however much they make oppor- tunity for sport or folly through the organizations, it must be borne in mind that members of most organizations are subject to the same weaknesses, even students and teachers in schools, and alas! even members of churches.
 If the proposed armories are buildcd, they will afford a splendid opportunity for the organized forces, for good in their communities to do helpful service, not easily possible without such places for the gathering together of men-men who, perhaps, are not prone to attend church on Sunday, or prayer or social improve ment meetings during the week. The fact that these men can and will gather together to practice that which in itself is wholesome, to study that which is mentally stimulating, is sug gestive of an opportunity for you and for me to reach them at some such gatherings, to quicken them with the leaven of ou: own righteousness possibly to find that they have some life-giving leaven for us.
 The time for total disarmament will come far away in the future. Until that time does come, if we wish to re- main nation, wish to continue the development of such righteousness as by their struggles and thenr sacrifices we have received from the fathers we must either organize and maintain a much larger standing army or must develop to the highest point our Or ganized Militia. The latter plan is not the best in itself, but it is prob ably the best available, certainly the less expensive and the more in ac- cord with the habit of though and the traditions of our people.
 It behoves the friends of peace to do everything within their power to promote peace, but until the day comes in which we are sure that ann
 pie provision has been made for se- curing peace, without resort to arms, it is the height of folly for us as a na- ton to do anything that will impair the usefulness and value of the mea- ger military equipment which we sup port.

PEACE PRESIDENT ON WAR
 READINESS.

When a few weeks ago a bill pass ed .he lower branch of the Vermont legislature authorizing the appropra- ten of $25,000 for armories, a certain clergyman of that state, very good man man, but like many other good men unfamiliar with the military his tory of our country, wrote to Presi- dent Charles H. Spooner, of Norwich are only for playing soldier called at tention to the states backwar6Iess in eaucation and closed with this appeal:
 "Your name appears as one of the active vice presidents of the Vermont Peace Society. 1 am therefore writ ing you to ask that you do all in your power to prevent our state from mak- ing so serious mistake as it is likely to make unless our right minded citi- zens enter their vigorous protest. Does it not behoove the friends of peace to do everything within their power to prevent the appropriations for armor ies?"
 TO the request President Spooner responded with letter which is so admirable that it would do vast ser wee in educating the public mind if it were reprinted as tract and cir Culated by the thousands by some re eronsible society Norwich University is the military college of Vermont Al ter referring to the fact that he was the most active man in the founding of the Vermont Peace Society, thus ! not seeking to evade his connection with that organization, Dr. Spooner said:
 All the evils that have followed our Civil War, and still do follow, are as nothing when compared with the evils that would have existed without a settlement of the difficulties and without eradication of the evils that caused that war. It is absolutely true that had enough been spent upon our military establishment to make it an effective force in 1S60-only moiety of the cost of the war-there would have been no war; and, it is proper to add, the evil causes would have remained for a possible later eradica tien by other means. In the absence of that later possibility we believe, and rightly, that to humanity the re- suits of that war were worth all 1t cost and much more. It still remains that the cost was and is far great than necessary if proper expenditures had been made before the fact instead of during and after it. Insurance of life and of property by preventing the loss thereof is worth all the premiums expelided in that prevention.

The passenger engineer did not know the freight train was. moving, and he put7on a lit tie more speed When several hundred yards ffe1lrthe switch upon which the freight Mas entering the main line he saw : the engine and tender turning into that track. Reaching for the emergency brakes, he locked them fast and reversed the engine. The strainmen, on the passenger say that for distance of 200 yards the wheels of the seven-coach steel passenger train slid along the track without turning once, because of the weight behind them The distance was too short and Engineer Mann and Fire man Harp of the passenger train jumped. A moment later the crash came.
 Steel Cars Saved Their Lives. .Baggageman E. H. Blankenship on No. 43 believes his life was saved be- cause of the steel cars, as well as the lives of the mail clerks and all the others in the front part of the train, who were unaware of the approaching crash. MT. Blankenship was seated in an end of the car when the crash came and was hurled beneath heavy trunks. He escaped serious injury. Along the side of the car which was behind the tender Of the engine he could hear the grinding noise of the two trains in contact. As the train came to stop he climbed out and found load of cross ties wedged against the steel car which had protected his life.
 The engine and tender of the freight train were in the ditch. The Wrecker from Riddle was summoned and the cars removed from against the passenger train, which backed in- to Little Rock. Tho passenger train was making about eight or ten miles per hour when the collision came.
 Engineer Manhs Injuries.
 One of the sad features of the wreck was the injuries sustained by Engineer Mann of the passenger train. He was one of the oldest men in the service and was at all times cool and resourceful. When he saw that a freight train was going to sideswipe his train on the left and that an em- bankment 40 feet high was on the right, he figured that his train would turn over and go down the embank- mcnt and bury him he jumped in that direction. When he decided to jump he crossed over to the fireman's side and jumped between the two trains that were rapidly converging. He sus-
