MILITARISM HAS NO PLACE
Stern Indictment of Existing Order Of
Things Put Forth by Writer
of Authority.

The world shudders and lifts a hand
that trembles from the very awfulness
Of war. An armistice follows, the poor
thinks that had been men-lovers, hus-
bands, fathers-are gathered in all
their hideous, mangled loathsomeness
and buried. Ten men sit around a
council table. The issue is still the
same, right is right, wrong is wrong.
Both sides give and take A treaty
settles what thousand battles could
not solve. Debt, taxes, pensions, be-
reavement and poverty follow in an
awful train, and two nations build up
another army and navy to insure and
protect peace. And the world hugs it's
mad delusion and squanders the sub
stance OF it's people for lie; for a
lie, either way you view 1t. If we are
truly civilized, really, the product of
the constructive forces of thought and
intelligence, then militarism has no
rightful place in our scheme of things
And if militarism is by any possible
argument justified, then we are not
civilized; we are savages disguised by
veneer of culture; we are barbarians
masquerading in "a thing of shreds
and patches. DIR. Themes E. Green,
in "Imbecility of Militarism."

Legend Of the Lincoln ln1p,


Have you ever heard the story of
the Lincoln Imp" Listen, and l
will tell you about that wicked little
sprite.
In the eastern part of England
there is a quaint old town named
Lincoln, or Linclum, as it was called
in olden days This town, which is
hundreds of years old, is built on a
hillside, and what do you think is on
top of that hill? A beautiful cathe-
dral! One day, a long time ago, the
devil let loose some of the little de-
mons to play. One of them thought
it would be great fun to get into the
cathedral and make mischief So he
slipped away from the others and en-
tering the church he ran down the
aisles, and after tearing up the prayer
books he broke the two great candle
sticks which were on the altar, and
did ever so many other wicked and
naughty things. Suddenly he heard
the sound of music! 1t was the organ
playing and the choir singing for YES
pers. The music enchanted the little
devil and he remained quiet for so
long time that he finally was turned
to stone, and there he has stayed
ever since. You may see him to this
day, perched high on the columns of
the choir. This is the legend of the
Lincoln Imp."-The Churchman.

SAVING THE VENUS OF MILO
Extraordinary Precautions Taken to
Guard Art Treasure imRos-
sible to Replace.

When, during the war of 1870, the
German army drew near the French
capital, one of the first measures the
Parisians took was to place the art
treasures of the Louvre in Safety. The
paintings of Raphael, Titan, Paolo,
Veronese, Rembrandt and Rubens
were carefully packed and shipped to
Brest. There they could, if necessary
be put on shipboard and taken from
the country.
1t was not so easy to save the pieces
of marble statuary, for their weight
and fragility made them difficult to
handle; but the French determined
that the famous Venus of Milo, at
least, should not fall into the hands
of the Prussians.
So they took her down from her ped
estal and laid her in casket carefully
padded and wrapped. At night the
casket was taken out through secret
door and hidden secretly in the cellar
of the police prefecture, at the end
Of certain passageway.
They walled in the casket and clev.
erly gave the wall an appearance of
great age and dilapidation. In front
of this wall they laid number of val
liable public documents, so that if they
should happen to be found their i'm
portance would lead the discoveries
to think there was nothing else hid
den there. In front of the papers they
built another wall. Here the Venus
of Milo remained, much to the distress
of those patriotic Parisians who did
not know where she was and supposed
that she had been stolen, through the
siege Of the city by the Germans and
through the disorders Of the commune.
One day the prefecture caught fire
and was pretty completely destroyed
The distress of those who knew that
the Venus was concealed there can
be imagined. AS soon as the fire was
extinguished they fastened to the sink
ing ruins and after some digging
found the casket, buried in heaps oil
! dirt and stones, but uninjured.
1t is understood that the Venus has
gone into hiding again this year, moi
to reappear until peace is restored and
Paris is free from danger of the in
vader.-YOuths COMPANION.

HOW TO GET TOGETHER.

The most expensive system OF dis.

cisely the one in which producer and
consumer deal directly with each
other. Mr.. Farmer hauls hundred
pounds of vegetables FIVE miles to
city market. Mrs. Housewife trav-
els five miles tosreach the market
and carries forty cents worth home.
No middleman interviewed. Pro.
ducer's price and consumers price
were Identical. But the actual cost
of getting that forty cents worth
from farm to kitchen was enormous
If Mr.. Farmer and Mrs. Housewife
had ANYTHING in particular to do-if
their time were commercially valu-
able-the cost would be prohibitive.. 7
There is nothing in any cost-of-liv.
ing remedy that sees no farther than
mere elimination of some middleman.
Mr..Farmer and Mrs. Housewife may
enjoy the trip to market. There may
be diversion in simply getting pro
Queer and consumer together; but
there is no real economy in it. The
real Job is not so much to eliminate
middleman as to devise system
that shall be more economical than
his. and that involves organization on
q pretty extensive scale.

Democrats toDiscuss Repeal
Of Free Tolls.
PLATFORM NOT BINDING
Leaders Say Conditions Have Changed
Since Adoption Of the Plank
at Baltimore.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Repeal of the
provision of the Panama canal act
exempting coastwise ships from tolls,
favored by President Wilson, is to be
made a subject of consideration and
action by Democratic caucus of the
senate This would be a wise and
necessary course in the interest OF
party harmony and the nations for
eign policy is the conclusion Of ad'
ministration senators who have dis.
cussed the subject with the president
within the last few days.
The fact the Democratic party en-
dorsed the toll exemption at the Bal
timore convention, these senators and
President Wilson hold, should not be
a subject of open controversy at this
time because conditions involved in
the tolls question have changed since
that time. The point to be settled is
whether the policy adopted by the ma.
ton through the action of congress
should be reversed regardless of the
declaration in the Baltimore platform.
President Wilson has made it clear
to senate and house leaders that he
is not attempting to force congress to
reverse itself. He has outlined to
them the countrys situation with re-
spect to foreign relations and his be-
lief that a reversal of the policy on
the tolls question would be the best
thing. He is seeking to convince con
gress that this is SO, but party lead
ers who have talked with him declare
that he is not attempting it in any
spirit of antagonism, but in spirit
of cooperation for the general well
fare. i .......
