"ClvlLiZED WARFARE!"

Many Of the daily papers have been
speaking of the use of dum-dum
shells as unfair "civilized warfare"
The words are more than paradox
AS we'll might one say, a cold fire or
hot ice. Civilized, indeed! and yet
the whole thing is relic OF barbar-
ism. OF brute beasts of the jungle,
without brains and untamed, nothing
more could well be expected; but for
thinking human beings-brethers of
one common family, regardless Of
race, country, tongue or even color
and with the deadliest weapons,
Ruriicg each other across the great
divide and leaving the pools of human
blood upon the fields of battle, Is un-
"questionably appalling! And for what
:are they thus locked in the death
sstruggle! Simply for advantage, the
zone of the other, in commerce. And
how many dollars are at stake? All
told they would not be worth one hu"
man life. "Civilized warfare" which
with the crack of every rife, sends a
son, brother, husband or father out OF
the world and leaves behind him a
Borrowing mother, wife and children
who must be encouraged to forget
their anguish in the thought that he
died for "his country's honor" Died
rather, for his country's dishonor
For that country is in dishonor which
sacrifices her sons for filthy luchre
1t is not "civilized warfare" but un
civilized barbarianism!
Let us who are American citizen
hopeAnd pray that the dawn of bel
ter id will hasten; a day when W
shall learn war no more. When W
shall beat our swords into plowshare
and our spears into pruning hooks
"Civilized" and warfare" are nc
terms to be associated together. B
tween them is a great gulf fixed, an
may that gulf widen until the SCUM
of battle shall have died away foreve
and the last bullet is laid up as rel
of a shameful past.

The Hankinson preacher, E. D. Get

welcome in newspaper circles as we'll

AMERICAN LOSSES.

While thousands are going down in
the European war, perhaps some tlg'
ures from the head office of the Life
Extension Institute in New York as
to Americas losses might be worth
thinking over for moment. The fol-
lowing are a few of their findings:
In our battle with the preventable
maladies we still lose $4,000 lives ev-
cry year. This is nearly four times as
many people as were killed on the bat
tie fields of the Franco-Prussian War,
and undoubtedly far more than will be
killed in all the battles of the present
great war. Our annual loss is equal
to a battle of Waterloo every sixteen
days during the entire year, and a
Battle of Gettysburg about every
three days. Every year diseases of
the heart, arteries and kidneys, which
are nearly all preventable or postpon-
able if detected in time, cost us as
many lives as were destroyed by
wounds and diseases in the Union
Army during the Civil War. In Eu-
rope they are destroying life by hu-
man design; here, by human neglect.
Vital statistics are bringing many evil
dences of physical degeneration, es-
pecially in middle life and old age.
They indicate two persons die now
from degenerative diseases of the
heart, arteries and blood vessels
where one diei 30 years age. The
mortality above age As has steadily in
creased, and preventable life-waste in
the younger ages is still excessive.
The birth-rate is declining. Our loss
es are increasing in the prime of life.
A volunteer army of education is need
ed to check the enemy, especially at
this point. If We can maintain civic
improvement societies why not a cit
izen improvement society of this sort?

OUT WORRY.

"A little land and a living surely is
better than desperate struggle and
wealth possibly is the motto of a
colony of 500 persons, known in South
ern California as the Little Landers,
who form a cooperative agricultural
community at San Ysidro, a short dis
lance from SanDiego," says the Octo'
Der Popular Mechanics Magazine in an
illustrated article. "The settlement Is
made up of families whose landhold-
ings represent only what their mem
bers are capable of cultivating thor
oughly and easily without employing
help.
"A bring together of social and in
tellectual advantages with husbandry

Intensive cultivation of the land in

a park, and looks to the moral and

bers. A clubhouse shelters a small
library and also serves as a meeting
place where classes in science, agri-
culture, and the Bible are held for the
adults. The education Of the children
to a certain point is provided for by
a community school.

is GOD IN THIS WAR?

When men are fighting for peace or
freedom it sometimes seems that the
hand of God is manifest in the results
but in the present family row between
kings, it seems like an insult to the
diety to suggest divine support for the
contestants. Leave God out of this
fight. it is mans fight and We hardly
believe them justified in calling upon
divine guidance in the awful trail of
death and suffering the armies are
leaving.

PITY FOR WOMEN OF EUROPE.

PITY FOR WOMEN OF EUROPE.
In the October American Magazine
Mollie Best, an American contributor
now in Europe, writes the following
letter showing now the women of Eu-
rope are the ones who are suffering
most:
"You imagine a war as a state Of
gerat excitement; believe 1t was
more or less picturesque in London.
But here in Belfast war means adso-
lutte deadness. The streets are throng-
ed with people because all industry is
paralyzed for lack Of men. All night
long. for two nights, thousands Of
white men, soon to be converted into
fertilizer, have been loaded into boats
and sailed away across the channel.

been impressed by the Government. II

treated by his companions and was
hardly able to stand. His pretty wife
was very patient with him. The men
were all rather exhilarated. But these
sturdy, laughing women. who were
walking the streets few days ago
with their heads thrown back, they
laugh no more. There isn't as much
weeping as you would expect They
are very proud people. One looks up
dry-eyed and says, I have six children

WE WONDER.

The promise of cheaper living, made
previous to the last election seems to
have been a myth, as there has never
been time during the present gene
ration when the cost of living came
anywhere near reaching the present
fabulous figures. It was of course un-
derstood that great many Of the
promises was bait used in hooking
votes, but even admitting that fact,
still we cannot help but believe that
something might be done to punish
the spectators guilty of the tremen-
dous price advances of the past few
weeks. To illustrate some of the
trouble at least we cite an instance
where one of the Valley City men on
his way home in the evening bought a
basket of grapes and paid IS cents
for the same and after reaching home
picked up paper published in a city
on the banks of Lake Michigan in the
, vinyard belt and was astonished tt

KIT CARSON HOME
TO Be MUSEUM

| Santa Fe, Nov. 1.-THE Kit Car
son home, one OF the landmarks OF
Taos, is to be transformed into mu
scum, according to word brought tn
Santa Fe by Walter S. Ufer. the
Chicago artist. The Taos Commercial
club intends to change its lighting so
as to make it suitable for art exhib-
its and thus add another incentive to
artists to make the Taos colony their
home. Mr.. ufer says there is no
other place in the United States that
Eoffers so much to the artist in way
OF figures for models, especially In
dams and Mexicans, and in the way
OF mountain and other cenery as
Taos, except it be perhaps, Santa Fe.
| Mr.. Ufer recently returned from
Munich. where he had studied under
Walter Thor. the celebrated German
figure painter, and he came to Taos
upon recommendation of Mayor Car
ter Harrison of Chicago, who will
next summer build himself sum
'mer home at Taos and il urging
wealthy Chicago people to choose
either Santa Fe or Taos for a cool
summer colony that offers more in

lions than Colorado Springs. or even
