Militarism and Democracy.
n the Portland Oregonian.


However the present war may end,
its progress so far has demonstrated
the efficiency of centralized, more or
less autocratic power in equipping a
nation for war, and the relative in
efficiency of the nations which have
popular rule, Unpreparedness will
still have been responsible for pro-
longation of the war, while had Brit
ain been as ready as Germany, 1t
might have been settled in a year.
The best explanation is that mill
tarism and democracy do not mix.
The chief use of a great war machine
is to acquire territory by force or to
hold territory already acquired by that
means. Such acquisition is inconsist-
ent with the principles of democracy,
except when a people divided by an
artificial boundary wishes to become
united, as in the case of the Servians
or of the people of AlSace and Lor-
raine. Monarchies which adhere to
the divine right theory have no re-
gard for the wishes of territory they
would annex, and desire constantly
to enlarge their borders. Democracies,
whether under a republic or consti-
.tutional monarchy, have no such mo-
tive for armament, and can be in
iduced to make ready for war only by
Imminent danger of aggression or by
determination to recover what they
3 have lost. When a governing ma
,tion like Great Britain or the United
States become involved in war with a
first-class power it usually suffers re-
verses at the outset, but history re-
cords that it then rushes to arms and
gives a good account of itself in the
end These nations pay a high price
for their unreadiness, and invite at
tacks which would not be made if
they were well armed.

York no More.
NEW YORK, Sept. "a. = Doctor
Joseph Knirim, who owns the Pilsner
Sanatorium, in Hanover Square, an
nounced last night, when his last pa
tent" departed, that he had sold his
last glass of Pilsner Urquell beer.
When the European was stopped inn
portations of the celebrated Urquell,
a product of the Burgerliches Brau-
haus, of Pilsen. the herr doctor had
a big supply in his cellar.
He took down his beer signs and
discouraged the drinking of too much
of the precious refreshment," and
said that he would serve seidels to no
one and glasses only to patients.
He laid aside enough barrels for his
own use for eight months, and when
the surplus was exhausted last night
the last Pilsner Urquell to be had in
the city was gone.

n Prayer

God of the warning nations,
God of the ways of peace,
Hark to the pleas of women
And bid the warfare cease!
HarK to the prayers or children,
Their small hands lifted up,
And from the world forever
Remove this bitter cup!
In years of peaceful living
Thy servants have forgot
The grief that follows carnage,
And now, their blood grown hot,
They challenge each the other,
And with no needing for
The necklaced arms of loved ones
They clatter forth to war.
Oh, God remove this madness,
And make Thy servants sane!
Remove the fields of carnage,
Where wounded and where slain
Are trampled to CORY remnants!
Our Cod, of war and peace,
Remove from men their blindness
And bid the warfare cease
A wife stands all forsaken
And peers into the storm,
Above the smoke of battle
She marks the vultures swarm.
No loved one hears her pleading
And to her succor flies
Beside where she stands weeping
A baby starves and dies.
God. lift the burden from them
Who bear the burden most!
God touch the hearts of rulers
God turn each warning host
From ways that lead to slaughter
Back to the paths of peace!
God, hear the plants of women
And bid the warning ceasel

Clubs Well Stocked Bar Used to Liqui-
date Debts.

NEW YORK, Sept 24.-All the wet
wines and also the dry brands and
the liquors, the chief remaining as
set of the Vaudeville Comedy Club.
at 149 West Forty third street. which
was formerly the Hotel Metropole,
were sold yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Moffit, the sale being conducted by
Daniel Greenwald, sheriff's auc-
tiloneer
The Vaudeville Comedy Club as
the name suggests, is or was an or
ganization of actors and other pro-
fessional men. Whatever the reason
for the financial depression that
caused the club to run into debt, it
might be stated that the bar GER
tainly was not at fault for it con-
tanned a variety of beverages that
any late at night club could be proud
of and which gave no excuse to any
member to 'go out for d drink"

AUSTRIA TORN INTERNALLY.

The recent victories of the Servians

MAJOR HIGGlNsoN ON VALUE OF
CHARACTER.

Few things have made a deeper i'm.
preston upon the public mind than
the declaration Of the late J. Pierpont
Morgan, In his evidence before a Con.
rressional committee not long before
his death, that in the business world
character was Of immeasurably great
or value than collateral. And now
another captain Of industry, Major
Henry /. Higglnson of Boston, bears
similar testimony TO the soundnes5
Of the same great principle, giving g.,
however, an even broader scope.
When asked on the eve Of his eigh.
tieth birthday recently, by a reporter
Of the Boston Post, what message he
had for the young men OF today, he
IS said TO have replied Just this.
Let each make The best use OF the
chance he has to do the best he can
In the circumstances in which he Is
placed. Better them. II he can; but
remember that the only asset anybody
has is character"
It is a good working philosophy of
life for any young man to adopt and
follow knowledge, chromosomes
brilliancy, capital, influence - these
aids may carry young man a certain
distance and may seem to promise
him the attainments of his goal,
whether ii be power or fame or riches.
But the wisdom of wide experience
and of n deep knowledge Of human
nature, so pithily embodied in Major
Higginson's words, teaches that great
err, and in the long run, far more pow
erful than any or all Of these, is char
acter. And II the question is asked,
Exactly what is meant by charac-
ter?' the answer may perhaps be;
