WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE
WAR? 49, %

Every thoughtful person is won
dering what will happen after the
end OF the present terrible wal in
Europe. Many are striving to find
some possible benefit likely to result
from such enormous sacrifices.
For many years the people OF
Europe have staggered under the
weight Of a colossal military sys-
tenn. Can the war remove that
weight from the shoulders of the pro.
ducing masses? Possibly.
And, again, can the war produce
an International condition which will
insure the observance Of treaty
contracts?. Possibly.
Can the war result in the down
fall of thrones, and the uplift Of re-
publics? Possibly.
Can the a help to end the
carnage of militarism which has
blighted the earth during all ages?
Possibly.
1t is possible for some good to
result from this terribly destructive
war, and it is always advisable to
hope for the best but prepare for
the worst If militarism wins, this
country will need a largely increas-
ed navy and army to protect our
shores from some. ambitious mill
tary autocrat. s

THE TRADE COMMISSION BILL

LIE IhNOE ~
The new Trade Commission bill
declares, unfair methods of compe-
tition in commerce unlawful" en-
powers and directs the commission
to prevent" them, and authorizes it
to proceed to determine what are
unfair methods" many given
case, either upon complaint Or on its
own initiative. && ,.
This new law is one of the last
measures demanded by President Will
son to end the immoral practices of
Of predatory wealth. Had this law
been passed a generation ago, the
Rockefellers and Carnegies and men
Of that class could never have taken
from the producers of wealth in this
country their colossal fortunes which
run up into the hundreds of millions.
A large volume could be filled in
describing all Of the unfair schemes
resorted to by the trusts, for the pur-
pose Of destroying small competitors
and controlling the prices of commodi-
ties. But, under the guiding hand Of
President Wilson, the people Of this
. country are stamping out the multi
tude Of abuses which enabled the few
to unjustly take a large share of the
earnings of the many.

WAR is WORSE.

General Sherman said: ,""\Var is
He'll" He meant that war is the
greatest evil he could think OF. He
was right, but Sherman was a better
| soldier that a theologian. He knew
more about war than he did about
hell. He had already been in war.
If anything could be worse than
| hell it is war. We have been taught
that people who suffer in hell are
the ones that ought to be there.
But the victims of war have no bust
ness there. They ought to he at
home, making 4 living for their FAM
lilies, doing something useful, and ell
joying life.
1t is said that the people who go
to he'll reach that unhappy place as
a result Of their W deliberate
choice. -
But those who go to war are often
forced into it-often beaten and
dragged into it against, their will,
through the choice or plumbers Or
selfish ambition of, someone else.
We understand that in he'll, what
! ever that is, only the guilty suffer.
| But in war it is the innocent that
| suffer and the guilty sit back in
some safe place and grab Oft what
ever profit or honor there u.s. .
Moreover, / am sure that the scholars
must be able to find some sort of
arguments, however inadequate to
many minds, to justify the existence
Of a hell, since SO many good and
| wise men have believed there must
be one.
But there is no argument&that will
justify to a reasonable mind the ex-
|%istence of war &@H
And besides, it may be remarked,
there is nobody who doubts the ex-
istence of war.
Yes, war is. worse in many ways

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
President Wilson has called upon
Congress to make good the shrinkage
in the revenues of this country,
caused by the war in Europe. The
following are extracts from the mes
sage: S5 4 St NJ
Conditions have arisen which no
men foresaw; they affect the whole
world Of commerce and economic pro-
duction; they; must be faced and dealt
with. : : = 1t would be very dan
$gerous to create a moments doubt
as to the strength and sufficiency.
o 1.-THE treasury of the United States,
its ability to assist, to steady and
sustain, the financial operations of the
country's business. = : = We cannot
too scrnpulously or carefully safe
guard a financial situation which is
at best, while war continues in Eu-
rope, difficult and abnormal. Hest
tation and delay are the worst forms
Of bad policy ii.
This country took no part in the
making Of these war conditions, and
everyone will agree with the Presi-
dents request to face the crisis
WITH CALM JUDGMENT AND UN-
RUFFI4ED SPIRITS, LIKE MEN
ACCUSTOMED TO DEAL WITH
THE UNEXPECTED, HABITUATED
TO TAKING CARE OF THEM
SELVES, MASTERS OF THEIR
OWN AFFAIRS AND THEIR OWN
FORTUNES"
While the war continues u tax
able imports will be far below the
normal and it is estimated. that the.
shrinkage will be at least $500 ,0o0,-
900 4 year. NoWit IS a question how
shall this loss be made good. Shall
this country borrow or levy increased
taxes {?
