"Men May Cry Peace, Peaee!'"

The growth of the peace movement
is succinctly set forth by Mrs. Ham
nah j. Bailey of Winthrop Center,
Maine, superintendent of the depart
ment OF peace and arbitration Of the
Worlds and National w. C. T. u.
She closes with a prophecy that when
the contending nations are exhausted,
bankrupt and humbled, the world will
have seen the folly of it all and will
be ready to settle disagreements in
a wiser way. Let us hope that ma
lions not now involved have already
seen the absurdity and inhumanity of
the present struggle and will refuse
to be in any way drawn into it. Let
us hope also that the wisdom and ST.
lent contempt of neutral nations will
have effect upon the maddened war
promoters and that halt may be call
ed before these great nations, en-
bodying every intelligence, are ex-
hausted and bankrupt
Mrs. Bailey says:
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century the peace movement was in
its infancy. Most people thought
"orid peace was an impossibility. At

that time the Friends church had
been trying to promuigate peace prin-
ciples $50 years A few thinking peo-
pie began to be convinced of the prac-
ticability of settling personal and IN
ternattonal differences by arbitration,
justice and law. They recommended
methods of doing SO. Soon duels were
abolished. About the middle Of the
century debating clubs sometimes dis
cussed the question rs there bet
ter way of settling difficulties between
nations than by force of arms?'
Later few writers of books and
editors of magazines and religious pa
pers began to agitate the question.
Peace societies began to be organized
and soon were increased in numbers
and in membership. At the end OF
the nineteenth and beginning Of the
twentieth century financial support
commenced flowing in rapidly. Peo-
pie of note and nearly all thinking
people advocated the cause of peace
and it became so popular that num-
erous conferences and conventions, In
ternational, National and local, were
held in all Christian countries and
the peace propaganda was rapidly pro-
NOTED and gained friends. But while
its friends were working it's enemies
were also busy. Armaments of great
battleships, and other implements of
warfare were manufactured until
some Of the nations became so intox-
icated with carnal power that they
became exalted in their conceits and
ambitions for military glory and pro-
motion. Then the present horrible
European war was suddenly precipi-
tated, covering large part Of the
earth's territory and involving many
nations. Doubtless it may continue
until the nations become bereaved of
men and ornaments and will be hum
bled, bankrupt and discouraged. We
predict that when 1t ends the glory of
war. will depart with it and men and
nations will seek better and more
humane way to settle difiiculties than

Then--and-

Today there are in the United
States more than a thousand
street railway systems with over
$4,000 miles of trackage with
100000 officers and employees and
$1,000 cars The capitalization of
tine companies was in 1912, 81
S45,299.000. These street rail-
ways carried last year over 1O0,-
100000 passengers, more than
one-fourth of whom received
transfers. Practically all this
business has been developed
within twenty-five years, or since
1889 when the first demonstra-
ton was made Of scientific prac-
ticability of the electric current
for the propulsion Of street cars
in Richmond. Va. Science hav-
ing shown what could be done,
there were development to be per-.
formed in two other fields-in the
financing of electric street rail-
ways and their operation. How
swiftly and thoroughly this de-
veloped, both physical and finan-
cial-has been carried on, is H.
Illustrated by the above stupen-
dous figures. The street car not
only begot new city but a new
type of financier and a new field
of engineering and today the re-
suits Of all this development are
so fixed in our civilization that
one may ride continuously in
trolley cars from New York to
Chicago.

Eighty-two years ago today
the first street car operated was
exhibited in New York. 1t was
a horse car and was built by John
Stephenson. This car consisted
of three separate compartments
each holding ten persons, each
compartment being entered by
separate doors on the side from a
guard rail. Seats were provided
on top of the car for thirty more
persons. The car was run on
wooden rails and was very much
like the English railway coach
though it was considerably lower.
1t was hauled by a team Of horses.
the conductor remaining outside
on the rail, rain or shine. The
company for which 1t was built
was called the New York and
Harlem road, running from
Princess street on the Bowery to
Fourteenth street then up Fourth
avenue to Harlem. Fourth avenue
at that time had not been opened
but the line had been surveyed to
1S4th street. The fare paid
varied with the distance. it being
about ga cents or sixpence
from Princess street to Four
teenth street. 1t was about %
cents from Princess street to
Harlem. But the road did not
succeed and after six years opera
ton it gave way to steam cars.
This remained the only line in the
world until 1852 when charters
were granted for End, 3rd, 9Th
and Sth Avenues, New York.

Sucking Honey from a Lemon.

The average newspaper man likes
to see his paper credited. He likes to
think that other editors see and ap-
prove what he and his associates are
doing. When he takes up an exchange
and discovers one or two clippings
from his own paper, perhaps one of
them evolved and written by him, and
properly credited, he feels a glow of
pride, and the world looks better to
him. When he finds items or stories
stolen from his paper, he is apt to
be little sore" but soon forgets and
forgives. because that is characters
tic of real newspaper men.
But there are compensations to the
man who lives for his sheet, even in
having his STUFF stolen. Here is the
detail, see if you can appreciate the
point. Yesterday we picked up an
exchange and found in it, credited in
the most approved manner, ten edito-
rails from as many of the papers ex-
from the Kennebec Journal We won
dered if our brother editor had not
found ANYTHING he could approve
in our paper when he was clipping so
generously. Then We looked, some
what half-heartedly, to see what he
was talking about. His leader was
interesting to us. 1t was a subject
in which we were interested. We had
written more or less along that line
1t exactly voiced our ideas. We reach
ed for the scissors-this fellow was a
clearer thinker than we had thought.
We would give his views an airing be-
side our own. And then the light
broke: 1t was our own language; we
had written it days ago. The next
editorial (and the only other which the
paper claimed as its OWN was like
wise stolen bodily from our editorial
columns.
There was the compensation. Do
you see it? In spite of our brothers
perfidy' we felt rather grateful to
him and even more friendly than be-
fore, for while he had clipped extern
sively (and credited scrupulousIy)
from other papers, he had appropriat-
ed our words and ideas as his own.
OF course there's a moral but it hits
us SO hard that we don't care to talk
about 1t, and will only offer as excuse
that newspaper men are almost if not
quite human

would be no cross at all--they would
make the beer do and laugh at the
tax gatherer. But owing to the Crea-
tors absent mindedness the poor
workingman is robbed Of his hard
earned pennies on 'inconceivable mill
ions" of half pints of beer
How the booze combinations pity
the poor! And how the press support
ers of the traffic slop their tears

by force of arms. The scripture pro-
phecy of time when Nations shall
learn war no more will be fulfilled.
1t is my opinion that the present war
will not be short one and that it
will be the worst and most destruc-
tive, the most expensive and most
bloody war which has ever been
known. 1t will doubtless affect all
the world and will accomplish that
for which it has been permitted. The
world will see the absurdity of 1t and
will decide to adjust international
disagreements in wiser and less cruel
way"
At the coming national convention
of the w. C. T L. at Atlanta, Mrs.
Bailey will offer the following reso-
luton:
RESOLVED: That there should be
joint limitation of naval ornaments and
implements of war by international
agreement. and military force should be
limited to purposes of police and inter-
national defence. Compulsory military
service should be abandoned.
We recommend the policy and system
of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
in dealing with Mexico and other belig-
erent nations.

Thanksgiving.

Oh. p. Lyman Wheaton in The Christian
Herald)
Father, thou everything!
To whom all seasons move,
We take with fresh thanksgiving
Thy yearly gifts Of love.
Yet, ere We take, we render
First-fruits of praise to thee
Who art the gracious Sender
OF wealth from sea to sea.
Thy sun hath shed its brightness.
Thy clouds have dropped their rain,
Thy snow hath spread its whiteness
And nurture Ger the plain;
Thy dews have soft descended,
Thy cleansing winds have blown,
TIL, tears and douhtings ended,
We bless thee for thine own.
The seed that once in sorrow
We cast into the ground.
On this fair harvest morrow
In Joy and strength is found.
That which men deemed had persisted
The unkindly soil beneath
Hath sprung, in secret cherished
With tenfold life from death.
Filled are our hands with blessing,
Our lips are wide with song
JOYOUS our hearts, confessing
: That all to thee belong.
Take what we gladly proffer.
AS due to thee alone:
Take what we fail to offer
And press it for thine own.
We are Thine harvest, Father,
Ripening till Thou wilt shear;
Us may Thy reapers gather
As wheat without a tare
And when from earth we sever,
Where once In faith we trod,
May we be garnered ever
Within the smile OF God!

The Blessings of the Day.

Today is America day of days
Only Christmas rivals it in the rev.
erance and welcome of all the people
Even independence day has lost large
ly of the appeal of it's high purpose
because of its deplorable folly and re-
suits. But Thanksgiving roots more
deeply every year into the national
heart as realization of its meaning ex-
tends. and the spirit of the season
reaches out from the laden mahogany
of luxury to the bare boards OF ad-
yersity. Every year finds wider
scope of the desire to give others
something for which to be thankful
This year above all others should
Americans whole heartedly and de-
voutly return thanks. In spite of
hard times because of industrial de-
preston; in spite of the hardships
which unemployment and high cost
of necessities, every American should
give thanks that the inhuman slaugh-
ter and devastation which have been
inflicted upon the Old World have not
yet involved this country.
Let us thank the Author of all that
intelligence which is patient and long
suffering and abhors war. that our
country has been spared in peace and
plenty-even if that plenty" be so un-
evenly and unjustly distributed.
Today families and friends join in
feasting-and, let US hope, in prayer
fitness and thanksgiving par
taking joyfully of the good will of the
occasion. In His inspiration was the
days genesis. In His spirit it is
broadening in meaning and teaching.
Then let US give thanks for multi
pie blessings and forget. for one day
at least, the things about which we
have grumbled and which have SEEM
ed so large and Importantly unfortu-
nate for US in the months just passed.

HOMELAND OF MAINE,
Ry ELIZABETH Powers MERRILL
By ELIZABETH POWERS MERRILL.

Come home to Maine, to its mountains and forests
Home where the hilltops shining with dew,
Home where God moulded your spirit in beauty,
Home to the n1otherland waiting for you.
Come where the pines in the sunlight swaying,
Rocked by the wind waves blown the hl
Rest where the rivers their secrets are telling
Wooing the soul of you silent and still.
Come as of old to the home the hillside,
Listen again to the call of the bell
Bearing you back to the hours of your childhood,
Bringing peace that no mortal tell
Here the warm heart of love has failed you,
Strength of heart that wrung from the SOIL
Loves benediction forever awaits you-
Clasp of hand that is roughened by toll
Come when the splendor of sweeps the valleys,
Come, though the storrn-king is lashing the main
Over the day of earth death hovers,-
Come to the life givng waters of Maine.
Fling far away your ambitions and strivings
Loosen your hold on the dry husks of earth
Childhood is to you than your dreaming,
Heaven is nearer than hour of your BIRTH
Come with your joy with your sorrow,
Come with your gadness or come with your PAIN
Gained by the pines and the infinite stiffness,
God will re-enter your soul life again
You will awake to the grandeur of living,
Baptized with strength from old earths vital breast
Fashioned by power eternal
Grded again for your souls endless ques
Come home to Maine, to its mountains and forests
Home where the hilltops shining with dew,
Home where God moulded your spirit in beauty.
Home the motherland calling for you
