THE ART OF KILLING EACH OTHER.

The art of killing has kept pace with
other arts and invention. Nowadays
we kill our enemies in the more artis-
tic manner of the Twentieth century
and with the latest and most effective
implements and appliances. Of course
it all amounts to the same thing as
concerns those who are killed but war
and killing has been fully modern
ICED.
The veteran Of the civil war who is
reading the bulletin boards and the
newspapers eagerly for news from the
front went aield in different fashion
from the soldiers who boarded trans
ports at Galveston. His gun, com
pared to the modern rifle with its steei
jacketed bullet and its five mile range
was a crowbar. Some of the civil wal
soldiers took afeld with them guns
that had been used by Hessians and
changed from flint locks to percussion
and had been carried by three gener-
atoms OF American soldiers. 1t carried
a ball nearly three-quarters Of an
inch wide across the base and

DROPPING IN ON WILSON.

1y no chance for anybody to Just

FAR MERS AND FACTORIES.
TParkerSburs Eclipse,

Farmers are just as much interested
in factories in the towns contiguous to
their farms as are the town people
When the town grows land values close
to these towns increase in value. In
creased value in farms means more
money to the land owner. Factories in
town increase the value of town
property making all land and property
owners directly interested in these
propositions. If Parkersburg could Sc
cure enough factories to make 1t
town of 5000 people within ten years,
property in town would treble in value.
Farm lands within several miles would
materially increase in value. This Is
not idle talk, but fact easily proven
by those who care to investigate. Thus
every property owner is directly inter-
ested in any proposition which Will
bring more people here.

VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION.
TDes Moiries Capital1

Judge G. G. Lee of Ames, who wants
to run for governor in violation of the
constitution Of Iowa. had better recall
some OF the addresses he has been
making before the graduates OF high
schools and colleges. In, such address
es the Judge has talked about strict
obedience to law and has undoubt-
eddy said that what the country needs
is higher sense Of honor"
We suggest that the Judge read the
constitution of Iowa, which SAYS: The
judge OF the district court snail be in
eligible to any other office, except that
of judge of the supreme court during
the term for which he was elected
1t is stated that the judge proposes
to resign. But that does not help the
| situation. The law says he is 'inelig-

woRKMEN's COMPENSATION.
New York Evening Post.l


The chairman of the commission
which administers the Wisconsin
workmens compensation law draws
striking contrast between it's working
and that of the system which prevailed
before the law was passed. In 1910, he
says, it cost "s450,0 900 to carry s150o00
to the injured Workmen: in 1914 (the
estimate being based on the showing
for january the injured Worknen Will
receive 100000 and the administration
will cost less than s12, 600" These fig-
ures are startling; but. whether strict
ly accurate or not, they reflect the
general nature Of the. beneficient
change wrought by workmen's COM
pensation laws. Is is this manifest
avoidance Of the lamentable waste in
volved in the litigation system which
did as much, perhaps. as any one thing
to recon mend the idea of the auto
matte compensation plan to the gen
eral approval OF public opinion in this
country Even in this aspect, the
waste was but one part of the matter;
for besides the deplorable waste there
was the cruel uncertainty When we
add TO this the other two great factors
In the case-the hardship of having
the workman bear the brunt of acc-
dents which are part of the normal
risks Of the trade, and the incentive
which q proper compensation law sup
plies to the prevent.un or accidents
there is no difficulty III understanding
the rapid heauway made By this kind
of legislation in state after state.

A Plea For Rstieencs.

More than one protest has been
heard of late against what the New
York Nation calls this frenzy Of plain
speech on subjects proper and inn
proper-mostly improper-that charac-
terizes public discussion today" AS
The Nation dispassionately states the
situat ton, "at one end of the scale is
the college professor who believes sin
cerely in the necessity of teaching a
certain amount of sex hygiene to chill
dren: at the other end of the scale is
the Broadway manager who has cap
italized the brothel; and between the
two is a whole army of writer's, speak
ers, educators, agitators, more or less
intelligent, more or less sincere. who
have been working on the single as
sumption that the evils of the world
need only to be sufficiently advertised
to be cured OF the voices raised in
challenge of this assumption perhaps
none has attracted more attention than
tina. Of Miss Agnes Reppiier, the dis
tinguished eSsayist, who discusses the

Since there is really nothing new about

Repplier, why this relentless deter :

she holds no brief for the conspiracy
Of silence;' which she admits was "a
menace in its day." she maintains that
the breaking Of silence need not imply
the opening of the flood gates OF
speech" She goes on to say:

lack OF balance, the lack of soberness
