The Distant Era of Peace

It is the opinion of many excellent people that war is mark of barbarsm and that peace and civilization march hand in hand They believe that after awhile will become civilized that we will dispense with altogether It is generally conceded that the world is taking a thicker layer of civilization but it is yet thin that breaks through it, and esent-day civilization becomes as motted with it the civilization the middle ages
 The advocates of peace that is those who have for 200 years been predicting a universal and per- manent peace have erred in supposng that all that was necessary was to convince people that is wrong Everybody has known that from the be- ginning
 We may call war crime and sin, but it is sin which never troubles the conscience of a nation individual, from the ruler who precpitates it down to the humblest soldier who participates in it. It is regarded with horror but not with com junction. We look at it now, and have always looked at it. a great natural disaster, like earthquake the sweep of a tidal wave
 Wars will when human nature has been changed and human nature changes slowly, if all After every great war people, sckened by blood, have thought there would never be another just men who have gorged themselves at table sick ened the sight of food Many believed that the Napoleonc the last of the wars, the culminat- ing struggle following the French revolutionary war the thirty years war the seven years war all of which had mostened the soil of Europe. But since Waterloo the intervals of peace have been brief.
 Some comparative figures, printed by The Re publican yesterday morning, show that the world has moved backward rather than in the direction of universal peace One hundred years ago, in which practically the nations involved that engaged in the present war the French had 36OO0O and the allies 569,OOO men, total of 929000 That about many trained for and could be armed. Today the nations have nearly 3OOO0OO0 men, all with some training and all of whom could be armed and brought into the field Here is increase of ready warlike strength of more than 4000 per cent.

Next Revolution in Sight

We gain idea of the manner in which the next Mexican revolution will have it's origin and it may be expected to be not long de- layed after CarranZa enters the capital and assumes the control of the government pending the holding of the constitutional elections It is demanded by Villa that a civil government be established at once prior the holding of the elections that the present federal army be immediately dissolved, and to constitute new army; that the land reforms be put into effect at once.
 Villa has evidently been preparing enforce his demands He has been silently laying in stock of ammunition and recognizing the forces which made possible the success of the revolution against Huerta It is be doubted that if he should decide to start revolution he would attract himself only the intact federal forces, but every other dissatisfied element With the prestige gained by Villa the military genius of the revolutionists, and the only successful general among them the provisional rule of Carranza would hardly last until the general elections could be held
 If Carranza should accede to these demands. he would be left open the rivalry in the elections, of any ambitious candidate who might rise against him.
 The immediate settlement of the agraran ques- ton demanded by Villa is the most difficult to all, and it would always be difficult for Caranza. It would be easy enough in the present circumstances divide the great Terrazas and Greet estates into decent holdings but the Maderos also land owners The taking of the lands of the enemies of Carranza and the leaving of those of his friends and supporters would be settlement of the ques- ton all. yx

CAPE COD CANAL COMPLETED

On July 29th the peninsula of Cape Cod became island The long Massachusetts, which curves into the Atlantic has been by canal. which cuts through from BuZzard's bay the south to Cape Cod bay the north, and the formal opening of this waterway occurred on the date named
 Were it that everything in the way of a canal must these days stand comparison with the great achievement Panama, the opening of the Cape Cod canal would certainly excite the interest of this and other nations far greater extent than is the
 Something like s12,OOO,OOO of private capital has been expended in constructing this New England shpway, which will shorten the distance for coasters bound into and of Boston by seventy miles.
 From thirty foot water in Cape Cod bay to the depth in Buzzards bay, the canal is thirteen miles long, though the peninsula proper is but eight miles wide at the point severed
 It is estimated that 15,000 vessels will pass through the canal year. it's minimum depth of twenty-five feet at low water making it available for practically all the Cape Cod coastwise traffic
 Being 100 feet wide in general and 200 feet at points where vessels will pass, the Cape Cod canal is of greater dimensions than the Manchester and larger than the original SueZ canal.
 Backers of the new canal anticipate no difficulty in realizing a profit their investment which has been the of improving an important trade route-New York Evening Telegraph

The cook has toiled with Zest and broiled the steak just to liking. upon my plate l see it wait, magnificent and striking. The gods are kind, that find such meat in steers and cowses all with tanks should give them thanks for inch thick porterhOuses. The doctor views my steak and chews the rag about my diet "You beat the Turks ' he cries; your works will soon be in riot. You ought to eat the wholesome beet, the turnip and the carrot, the bean and squash, so help me Josh" he jabbers, like parrot.

SHORE MORALS

Lunching at Atlantic City restaurant. beside a window which looked out white beach and blue. sunkssed breakers and lovely girls in bathing suits, Raymond Hitchcock said
 The Lambs in their sweet whrlwind tour of a dozen cities made $150,00O That fact makes me as optimistic about American prosperity Cusstard was optimistic about everything.
 "Cusstard was terrible Optimist. For him the dark side didn't exist It positively didn't exist But day at the shore a friend took him aside and groaned:
 "'Oh, these shore moras, These husban nds slaving in the heated town while their wives flirt with brown, bareheaded college boys in white fan mel pants breezy dunes! Cusstard dreadful tragedy has happened. Poor Smith, arriving unex- pectedly last night caught Mrs Smith and Har- ward sophomore spooning the beach, and in his jealous frenzy shot them both.
 "Cusstard the optimist, paled and shuddered at this news Then at once, he smiled his brave and optimistic smile again.
 What! said his friend You smile Cusstard But surely, man. you don't bright side this!
 oh, yes, do' Cusstard answered Yes, do. If Smith had turned night before last, he'd have shot instead of the college boy''

AN OFFENDING PIECE OF FURNITURE

An apostle of the modern efficiency system has decreed that the comfortable easygong rolltop desk must be abolished According his theory affords too easy cover for unfinished work. It enables the man who has not cleared up his work to go to the baseball game too much facility to cover up his incomplete work and off to pleasure with the knowledge that his closed desk looks all right Therefore he proposes that business firms supply their desk with the open faced fat-top desk which be cleaned up when the days work is done
 This may cause speculation to whether this particular efficiency clerk is interested the output of lat-topped desks. There may be a little in this theory but very much. It underwrites the inventiveness of the employe, who is desrous if he do it without discovery, hoot the umpire beat Bogey All desks have stock of drawers and the who is willing put off till tomorrow what ought to be done today make a receptacle for laid the table, whether the desk is of the upright or baby concert style. It may take more deliberate act of deception to dodge the work with the flattop type of desk but the other hand when the man back in the morning the accu mutation the roll topped desk must be cleared away before work can be done.
 Employers who wish to attain the full standard of modern efficiency will probably conclude that to do so they must have at the desks who will finish their work before seeking pleasure no matter what the form of the desk- -Pittsburg Dispatch.

A MASTER OF SPIT BALL PITCHING

In the July American Magazine Eddie" Collins of the Philadelphia Athletics whom Johnny Me Graw of the New York Giants calls the greatest baseball player in the world writes a inter- esting article entitled Pitchers I Have Faced" Collins of the greatest batters in the bus- experience with the best pitchers. Following is part of what he has to say about Eddie Walsh whom he regards as the best spit ball pitcher

 Alfred chased the Danes into France and then relgned peacefully many years He imported leaIn- ing into England and made it so popular that Dukes and Earls stood their swords in the corner and worked for hours making decrepit letters with sputtery pen He revised the laws, making them less fatal for the common people, introduced jus tce, then total stranger in Europe. and used so much practical common that England was the happest land in Europe before he died
