THE WAR HowLERS

Those who are bowling for war with
Mexico, and statesmen" who appeal for
a vindication of our honor when there is
no affront to avenge, would probably b,
among the last to take mp arms and fac.
the enemy. They want war, but they
want some other persons to do the fight
ing. III these men who are bowling for
conflict today had ever experienced the
horrors OF carnage they would be very
slow TO incite the war spirit in the hearts
OF their countrymen.
One OF the most effective cartoons
against war appeared the other day, de-
plotting a grey haired, motherly looking
woman sitting alone with the memories
OF husband and two brothers who went
to war never to return. Think OF the
hundreds of others who would be called
on to join the mournful loneliness of this
woman. and OF others bereft of manly
sons. 1t is the widows and ophans that
pay the toll of war, while those who
would have war for little glory's sake
are unscathed. 1t is bad enough TO fight
when the flag has been insulted and the
government scorned, but when there is
no necessity to resort TO the arbitra
ment OF the sword it is nothing short OF
criminal to engage in fomenting senti-
ment for war. The cost of war is an i'm
material matter; it is the terrible cost OF
lie that stands as rebuke to war.

SHOULD PUBLISH RECEIPTS

How strange it is that the Republican
newspapers that claim that the Dawson
tax laws were enacted for the benefit OF
the middle class of taxpayers. such as
the farmers and the workingmen who
own their homes, have never published
any tax receipts showing how the taxes
OF the middle class have been reduced,
since the present tax laws have been pun
In full operation. Is it not reasonable to
suppose that il this wonderful reduction
had taken place that the organs of the
state administration would publish list
OF the names of the farmers whose taxes
have been reduced?
One OF the foremost advocates and most
ardent and eloquent defenders Of the Daw-
son tax laws is the Ceredo Advance, still
1t has submitted no tax receipts of the
farmers of Wayne county for the years
of 1912 and 1913 to prove that there has
been reduction as promised. When
attention is called to the failure OF this
promised reduction many of the organs
grow angry and indulge in ugly names.
