HAMMoND,s HOBBY

.HE ST. James Plaindealer, pa
per which did not support Mr.
= Hammond in his campaign fol-
Congress, and whose editor, Will Cur
tiss, is on the Progressive state ticket
has this to say about Mr.. Hammond:
"a gentleman from st. Paul was
here this week looking for material
for a biographical write-up Of Hon.
w. S. Hammond. Mr. Hammond is
one of those solid, substantial, UMPIRE
tentious kind Of men, who make no
grandstand plays, and it would be
difficult to work in any flamboyant,
spectacular stuff into a biographical
sketch of him. He does his work in
a very efficient, quiet manner, with
no advertising.
Mr.. Hammond is one of the very
best men this state has ever had in
Congress, but he has no publicity
bureau as some of our congressman
have had. If the people of this state
elect him to the governorship he will
90 about the work of that great Of
fee in the same way. He will sit down
at his desk and clean up all unfinished
business. There will be no slackness,
and no tag ends. His motto when he
was a young school teacher was,
''What is worth doing at all is worth
doing well,'' and he has lived up to
that motto all his life, as lawyer,
public official and private citizen. Ii
he has a hobby, it is conscientious
ness in his work"

AUDITOR CONTEST SHOWED
That 1000 Actual Errors Were Made
in Count of Twenty Counties
Probable Total Appalling

The authorship contest in the Re
publican party was ended last week
when Henry Rines conceded that j.
A. Preus was the victor.
The motion for dismissal puts the
costs up to Mr.. Rines, but there are
a number at the capitol who figure
that he will not pay the entire bill,
but that a compromise was reached.
All together, twenty counties were
counted, in which approximately 1000
errors were discovered. Errors were
made both ways, 50 that Rines made
net gain of only 800 votes. Mr.. Rines
figured that If the whole state had
been counted, 5000 to 10000 errors
would have been discovered, but at
the same rate as In the countries
counted, his gain would have been
less than 600 votes The contest, how
ever, served q good purpose IN that
it called attention to the large num-
Der Of errors that win necessarily be
made under the present complicated

(FrOn1 the Forum

world today all civilized nations can
live together in amity, with a place in
the sun for every one of them, and a
helping hand from each to all in time
of passing need. But the appeal to
war remains because there are still
in every nation ignorant, blatant, con-
ceited fools who affirm the necessity
and glory of war; because there are
still in every nation men-well-mean-
ing men-who preserve the old sus-
picions, and the old stupidities and
will not recognize that new religion,
bigger than Christianity as it has been
interpreted by the churches, bigger
than paganism as it has been inter-
preted by the mobs, is knocking at
the doors of the world, and will find
those doors opened wide by the men
and the women who have been wait
ing.
We will have no armies in the fu-
ture, but police only; no ornaments,
no militarism; no bullying of nation
by nation; no legacies of hatred from
defeat, or of contempt from victory.
We will have no diplomacy of the old
type, which vaunts itself upon outwit-
ting its competitors. We will have
craftsmanship of the new type; the
craftsmanship of service, not of sell
fishness. No man shall take pride in
triumph over his brother. no nation
shall be mean enough to traduce or
trick another.
A dream? Gods mercy, mol Is not
the first natural thought of each ma
ton to send sympathy and practical
help to another in any time of sudden
catastrophe, such as earthquake, or
mine disaster, or calamitous flood? In
war men gloat over the tribulations of
their enemies, who yesterday were
their friends. 1t is the change from
sanity to drunkenness. Shall the ma
tions again be drunk with the war
frenzy? Will any man stand out, and
praise the slaughter house, and the
offal, and the reek of blood?
There has too long been careless
ness, and shallow thinking, and n.y.
pocrisy, or the world would have at
least one man who would come for
ward now and be heard through the
roar of all the cannon; a man whose
word would be obeyed by all the war
lords and dictators and cabinets; q
man mightier than mobs, or militar-
ism, or autocracy, because the whole
force Of the organized public opinion
of the world would give authority to
his proclamation:
Let there be peace.

n TINE-TENTHS of getting ahead
N consists of laying something
aside. John Wanamaker.
Capital is wealth, and any man who
has accumulated money or property
is a capitalist to the extent of the
value of that wealth. If he has saved,
the result of his saving is a con-
tribution to the working capital of
the country, because, either by the
savings bank route or by direct in
vestment, a very considerable part
of the savings of the thrifty goes in
to railroad, municipal and industrial
securities, or real estate mortgages,
thus becoming great factor in COM
mercial activity and the building of
homes and cities.
So the man who saves and does
not hoard is a capitalist whether he
realizes it or not and in the end he
is found to possess a good-sized bank
account. Some persons think that big
bank accounts are made by lucky
ventures in finance-perhaps a profit
able speculation, or "buying into a
sure thing on the ground floor" The
fact is, however, that too many good
sized bank accounts have been de-
pleted in that way. A good many
persons build big accounts by going
into business for which they have
been trained, and for which they have
sufficient capital, with credit besides.
Others make choice investments and
then re-invest their interest earnings
and make more good investments when

rule, stripped of his shining armor,
even though jubilant over victories
won on the battlefield, will stand face
to face with his most formidable and
invincible foe, the people.
No longer gladdened and thrilled
by the noise of battle, no longer is
suing sharp commands and dictums,
but stunned and stupefied by the ever
increasing roar Of popular voice,
quaking with fear, sullenly silent, this
great foe to the public welfare will
be compelled to surrender. not alone
himself, but his faith and the faiths
of his father.
For the day of the people will have
dawned.

COMING DAY. OF THE PEOPLE

n RUNK with the lust of power,
i insane through egotism, swept
- away by self-will, the great
est representative of medievalism alive
today is arraying his mighty forces
against the forces of enlightenment.
Striving with almost superhuman eff
fort to stem the oncoming tide of
freedom from despotism; battling with
terrific strength and courage to check
and hold back the giant wave of the
Gospel of the brotherhood of man,
this great arch enemy of the people
is face to face with crushing defeat
1t matters little, whether his mighty
war machine triumphs at the pres

store for this and all opponents of

Throughout the world commerce and
trade are hampered or destroyed. The
rich are made paupers, and the poor
yet poorer. Factories close down;
mills are stopped. The hordes of the
unemployed tramp through the cities.
Women become prostitutes; men be-
come thieves.
This is the glory of war.
And children pay the price. They
pay it in privation and neglect; in the
loss of the necessaries that mean life
or health; in shawdowed childhood,

In the great cities crowds wait for
news. They are elated or depressed
as the bulletins come in, and the ly-
ing rumors, and the incessant contra
dictory dispatches. Their hearts are
with the armies and the fleets of their
country; they dream of triumph, or
duty, or revenge. And word comes
that $4,000 men have been killed in
a single battle.
This is the glory of war.
And women pay the price. They
pay it in the long agonies of suspense
and of dread; in fear confirmed, and
the desolation of those who shall hear
no more in life the voice of husband,
or son or brother. They pay it in de-
privation or actual starvation, now
and in the years to come; in sacrifice,
and heavy labor in the fields, and
stunned lives, and the enduring men,
DRY of great sorrows.
