Mark Twain on Peace

In spite of Mark Twains horror of
war he was inclined. says Albert
Bigelow Paine. author of Mark
Twain. a Biography" to speak I'M
hopefully of plans for universal peace.
THE gospel of peace he was ac
customed to say, lis always making
a deal of noise, always rejoicing in
its progress, but always neglecting to
furnish statistics. There are no
peaceful nations now. All Christen-
dom is a soldier-camp The poor
have been taxed in some nations to
the starvation point TO support the
giant ornaments which Christian
governments have built up, each to
protect itself from the rest Of the
Christian brotherhood, and incident
ally to snatch any scrap of real es-
tate left exposed by a weaker owner.
Within the last generation
each Christian power has turned the
bulk of its attention to finding out
newer and still newer and more and
more effective ways of killing Chris
tians and, incidentally, a pagan now
and then, and the surest way to get
rich quickly in ChTist's kingdom is
to invent a kind of a gun that can
kill more Christians at one shot than
ether existing kinds. All the Chris
tian nations are at it. The more adj
vanced they are the bigger and more
destructive engines of war they

the learned volume on Religious
Confessions and Contestants, by
Anna Robson Burr. AS the title
might seem to indicate, this book is
not a history of the different con-

adopted by religious denominations.
On the contrary the book is a critical
psychological study of religious eX-
periences and of the impulse that
leads religious types to make known
the beliefs and emotions that are
felt. The book is an attempt to ind
law, order and reason in field
seemingly capricious and mean
ingless.
The author declares that char
scteristic of this age is its interest
in religion, and that the study of
religion is essentially modern. IN
the past" she says, men studied
dogma; they studied theology; they
studied metaphysics and mystical
philosophy, but they did not study
religion" The author has collated

data of religious experiences OF
various sorts. These she analyses

Editor Palladium:

Editor Palladium:
After returning to this city from a
two weeks trip and reading the mass
of Richmond by the liquor interests
I feel constrained to resent this insult
to our intelligence.
The burden of the four ADVERTISE
ments to date is the bland assertion
that if the liquor interests are not oil
lowed to sell their product in Rich
mond legally, they will find means TO
sell it illegally, just the same, or
worse. and that hence Richmond
should cheerfully submit to the les
ser Of the two alternative evils
This argument constitutes the last
despairing stand of the liquor inter
ests. They have been forced slow.
ly but steadily from every legiti
mate ground of argument. No
longer do the defenders of the saloon
even attempt to justify the retention
of the saloon upon the ground that it
is. in the last analysis. of profit to the
community. No longer do they pro
claim its inalienable right to exist
No longer do they urge that it meets
any legitimate need of man in his
effort to properly order his life. Even
the great mass Of argument from the
opposition they are not even attempt.
ing to meet fairly and squarely on the
issues at stake. They have been driv.
en- to the last ditch, out of which
comes, as a reason for our mercy, the
despairing cry, sounding to many like
a whimpering threat, that If liquor can
not be sold legally, it will be sold il
legally. Such prostitution of even
elemental logic should read them out
of court in any public forum.
Let us analyse the anomalous posi-
ton in which such an argument places
liquor advocate His consuming pas
sion is ostensibly to save Richmond
from the blighting curse Of the blind
tiger What, would ask, constitutes
the essential curse of blind tiger:
1t is the fact that it sells beer and
whiskey-especially whiskey, we hear
from the brewery agent, "a whiskey
agent would probably decry the evils
Of beer That is the fundamental and
essential objection to the blind tiger
i is that it sells alcoholic drink-the
identical objection laid against the
licensed saloon. The statement of Mr.
Gordon that the blind tiger sells
more whiskey than beer is a mere
cOWardly clouding OF the issue, in the
light of the enormous sale of whiSkeH
by the saloon. If Mr.. Gordon is
really sincere in saving our citizen
ship from the evils of Whiskey, he
would lend his zeal to preventing the
sale of Whiskey in the licensed traf
fC.
The real issue, however, is this:
If it is harmful to a community, as
