REPUBLICAN LAW SAVED DEMOCRATS.

the face OF the greatest financial panic tho coun-
Il try has ever known, the Democratic party in
Congress had to turn back TO the Republican currency
law 10 avert financial disaster Never, perhaps, did
great party in complete control all the branches OF
Government ever cat such humble pic did the Demo-
Gratis when they asked Congress TO the terms Of
the Vrooand- Adrch Currency Bill to save the country
from panic
For nvo years the vreeland- -Aldrich Currency Bill
has been the favorite source of criticism by the DEM
ocrats They attacked it from every side Yet when
they camo TO pass their own Gass-oweu Currency
Bin for tho purpose of preventing panics, they
bodied therein the essential features Of the very
measure which they had attacked
scores of times on the floor Of both the House and
Senate Democrats declared the Glass-Owen Bill would
render a panic impossible. Democratic stump speak
crs took up this assertion and declared measure
had finally been found TO put end to pancs. The
Democratic press followed with fusome praise Of the
proposed panic panacoa.
Then the Democrats passed the Glass-Owcn Bill.
That had been a law for eight months but organ
zation under it had been effected Then the great
European war came European stocks and bonds
were dumped America. The country was seized
with financial fear Something had to be done It
was reported that The Democratic Glass-Owen Bill
which had been SO widely heraldod could not be put
into working effect for thirty days more Yet in that
thirty days business might be paralyzed The sua-
ton was critical Their eight months old currency
bill could not do the business The President and his
Secretary of the Treasury knew IT, They we're grasp
ing for relief measure The fact forced upon
them that the old Republican vreeand-Adrch mea-
sure was their only salvation So. with bitter re-
uctanco. they asked Congress TO use It's provisions
TO save the, country. Congress- did It and the panic
ayerted.

10 the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-For more than q generation
militarism has been prosututing the
hest minds u could enslave to the
work of destruction.
II has been pointed out that the
most intricate and marvellous ma
chine in this age OF machines is
modern battlcship. There rs nothing
else in The whole mechanical world
combining so many ingenious con-
trivances. such gigantic forces and
such perfect unity in widely extended
factors.
No instrument for the production Of
wealth and the building of human be-
ings has had such concentrated at
tcntion Of so many human minds as
the machine gun for snuiiing out
o. human lives. If tie same skill,
energy and resources had been de-
voted TO machines for harvesting
wheat for life as has been given 10
machines for harvesting men for
death. the feed OF The world would
be little more than the pressing of a
button.
Militarism has turned the great
from the problem of bringing more
abundant life TO mankind into chan
rcls where il is concerned with the
dismembering of the living human
body and strangling the breath Of
lifo In that body.

upon by the war lords of each nation

In Europe cities were even To-
Gated. railroads built. canals dug. tun-
nels bored and the whole intricate
mechanism Of the social machine was
warped. twisted and bent TO suit the
demands OF militarism.
