PEACE OR JUSTICE?

When peace comes at the end OF
this war, It is to be lasting peace or
merely an armistice?
This is the question which should
concern the world. No negotiations
for peace will be of service that Will
tend to emphasize compromise and to
submerge justice.
1t is reported that an inquiry has
been sent from this country to the Ger
man emperor as to whether he would
be willing to discuss terms of peace.
A similar inquiry, 1t is also reported,
has been made of the British govern
ment. 1t is hardly necessary to eau
ton our readers with regard to reports
OF this sort. II is as futile to conduct
diplomatic negotiations by newspaper
editorials. In the one case, as in
the other, It is easy for the reader to
Jump at wrong conclusions through
inadequate knowledge of the facts.
Such reports, however, do consider
able damage by awakening false
hopes. With every day of this war
It is natural that desire for its end
should grow. What is more impor-
tant, however, than speedy concll-
sion. II Is not as important that
peace should come soon as that when
IL comes 1t should not prove to be a
sham peace.
The neutral nations of the earth can
inlict on Europe no injury compar-
able to that which would result in
bringing and end to the cause of those
hostilities. Horrible as the recent
carnage is, there is one thing that
would be still more horrible, a renewal
of the carnage on greater scale. An
armistice, under the guise of peace,
without settlement Of the issues
that caused the war, would invite q
renewal of the carnage as soon as
either side could renew its strength.
II German militarism is the only
defense against the barbarism of semi
Asiatic Russia, as the Germans be
lieve, then the world had better learn
that fact now and not wait until an
other war enforces the lesson. If, on
the other hand, militarism, as we be
lieve is a greater danger than barbar
ism because it can not be educated
while barbarism cam then those who
are fighting against militarism should

TWO ROAD BOND ELECTIONS
IN SEPTEMBER-BoTH CARRY.

Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 5.-Accord-
ing to a report issued by the Texas
Business Mems Association today
there has been but little interest
shown in good road bond elections in
Texas during September Only two
projects were voted on last month;
they carried by overwhelming majori-
ties, authorizing the issuance Of high
way construction bonds aggregating
sS5O,OOO.
On September 10th the citizens Of
Precinct No. 1, of Pamela county. vot.
ed road bonds amounting to $225,00
The other election was conducted in
Hardin county and entailed bonds in
the sum of s125,OOO. The proceeds
from this project will be expended in
constructing a system of public
highways in the districts of Saratoga,

FRIoHTFuL COST OF WAR.

Wars cost money Human life is sec
ondary. The sInews of war is not men
but money. Therefore. the length OF
the European struggle win be deter
mined by the cash and credit resources
OF the continent.
Following are some OF the reasons
why peace should reign within a year,
possibly within six months.
The Franco-Prussian war cost
France SAT- per man per day. The
Boer war cost England one pound or
s4.S6 per man per day. The Balkan
war figured s2.4S per man per day.
For the purposes OF this discussion,
we may as we'll disregard the Boer
war and the expense incidental there
TO. The most recent estimate, viz,
that Of the Balkan war CAB is the
best for our purposes because condi-
lions were more nearly parallel to
those prevailing in the current UNI
pleasantness," except that In the Bal
kan war there were no fleets OF Yep
pelins and aeroplanes; no squadrons
OF automobile trucks; no automobile
batteries; no fourteen-inch siege guns
O rother expensive paraphernalia now
being used. A very conservative es-
innate oft per man cost Of the pres
ent war would therefore be $3.50 per
day. Just as this article is going to
press the statement is published that
the cost to Great Britain for forty
three days OF war is officially reported
ut s166, 800, 900. or 10000 per day.
Now let us go into the realm Of BILL
lions for a few moments: Fifty million
dollars a day is s1.5OO.OOO.O0O per
month. $4,000. 100000 in six months,
$4,000, 100000 a year. This means
that II the war continues for twelve
months the combined debt Of these
nations will nearly double, for 1t now
stands at S24,OOO.OOO,OOO,
In order to furnish perspective We
will mention the fact that there are
only si1.OOO,OOO.OOO of gold bullion in

THE STOCK LAW AND HARD
TIMES.

Farmer John Smith in letter to the
Rockdale Reporter. charges the stock
law with responsibility for much OF
the present hard times and gives
his reasons, WHICH are highly interest
ing, as follows
"The time is here that we have to
do something. The most important
thing has been neglected for years.
Here we are raising cotton and living
out OF the store and starving at the
same time. SO far as cotton is con-
cerned II is n dead failure. A man
can't make a living raising II at any
price. II brings nothing but hard
work and nothing to eat and wear
Why not make a change?
Two-thirds of the people have Meth.
er milk, butter or meat The fields
have been turned out and the hogs
and cattle have been penned. Why
not pen the fields and turn out the
hogs and cattle? Beef, pork and ba.
con have gone so high that none but
the rich can buy it. What will he
our next step? Why do away with the
stock law all over the timbered coun
try. Then in few years We would
have our beef and pork back to 3 ant
&c. Fence the farms. Do away with
the stock law, and let us raise our
meats outside and be in plenty once
more Any man can raise and sell
enough pork in three or four years tc
fence a farm and have his own
meat too Look at the price Of leath
err; in fact, everything made in raw
hides since we stopped raising cattle
There is all the mast and grass or
the outside TO raise all the beef ant
pork we need, so let's fence the cot
ton patch. Quit raising cotton; raise
hogs, cattle, corn, wheat, barley ant
molassses; raise potatoes, vegetable:
and poultry; make your living al
home, then wa wont have anything
to kick about"

weakness and its futility.
At such a time as this a neutral
nation like the United States has an
enormous responsibility. 1t can not
discharge that responsibility II, by its
offers of mediation at an inopportune
time. II should place either side in the
position OF declining peace when &C
ceptance Of peace would be the &C
ceptance OF injustice. In the interest
OF humanity 1t behooves the United
States to be wise as well as humane.

seek is the peace Of justice.-The Out
