War Waste
Nv Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

The European nations are bluffing
manfully. Germany declares that she
can fight on indefinitely, having plenty Of
men, plenty of food, and plenty of gold.
Russia. France and England issue like
boastful announcements.
1t is all very we'll to whistle loudly to
keep up your courage. but whistling does
not do away with hard fact. And the
hard fact is that even were the war to
cease today it would take generation or
so TO repair the colossal damage already
wrought.
And what will be the condition of
Europe if stubborn pride and organized
vanity continue this senseless conflict for
four or five years. us Kitchener seems
to imagine its probable duration?
In the English House of Lords the
other day it was declared that 'the huge
war loans piled one upon another pointed
straight to the bankruptcy of Europe.
and TO possible revolution on top Of that"
Commenting upon this, the Frank
furter Zeitung made some significant
statements in regard to Germany. all the
more striking because of that newspap-
er's close relation to the banking and
commercial interests of the empire.
"Our productive labor" says the lei
tung, has in good part shrunk away,
while millions of the most skilled men
are now diverted into manufacture Of war
supplies. And what we make is no long
err productive goods which till now meant
new values and an enlargement Of our
national wealth Where we formerly
fbuilt houses. factories, machines, canals,
and merchant ships, now we produce only
war material. The work of our hands
disappears in the air as powder and lead.
We are using up our resources, our capi-
tai We save but we create no new re-
serves"
This is sound sense. No amount OF
patriotic braggadocio can conceal the
Iurid fact that the whole business of war
IS pure waste II is sowing the goods, the
money, the very energy and life-blood OF
the people in the red burrows Of slaugh-
ter.
War is the climax Of unreason. 1t is
| the flaming triumph Of misgovernment.
I II is ruin, both fer eenquernr and con-
Quered.
Every day Europe continues this child
fish. mad struggle over nothing, at all, she
lis slipping back toward poverty and bar
barism.
And every day that America keeps out
I of the trouble she is bounding forward
toward the leadership of civilization.

Toledo Gets a Forward

Toledo is to be congratulated upon &C

and Sciences and professor of social sci

able, fearless and progressive a man as
Scott Nearing; and Detroit, by its close
proximity, may be expected to benefit TO
some degree.
1t will probably be remembered that
Prof. Nearing was expelled from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania last June by the
trustees of that institution, without even
the formality of an explanation: the
aforesaid trustees not approving Of his
utterances on the subject of social condi-
lions, especially as applied to capital and
labor
The fact that the trustees are all cor
poration men, may have little bearing
upon the subject, but their defense of
themselves, in so many and devious ways.
most of them of such trifing Importance,
places them in a position more or less
ridiculous.
The theories of Prof. Nearing are not
original, having come into prominence
some 1900 years ago with a man named
Jesus; but as applied to modern business
they are as highly Objectionable to many
of the financiers today, as they were then
to the money changers in the Temple.
All Prof. Nearing seems trying to do. is
to apply Christian principles to social con-
ditions.

papers are finding it harder and harder
to indulge in free speech and make liv-
ing. Editors and college professors are

SMOOTH swINDLER AT WORK

The most versatile and accomplished
swindler that has ever honored Gooo-
ing with his attentions closed highly
successful campaign last Friday and
vanished. This man showed no par
TALLY and played no favorites. He
went right down the line, pluckins
right and left, as score or the LEADING
business firms can testify.
His name is S. ID. Maxwell. He ar
rived at Gooding from parts unknown
about six weeks ago and announced
that he wanted to buy some land. The
real estate men paid him considerable
attention and gave him many free
rides. Then he went over to Glover
creek and contracted to buy half of the
stock of the Bray Lake reservoir, which
he proceeded Immediately to enlarge.
The stock was to be paid for in tn.
near future when a very wealthy
cousin sent him the money. He en-
ployed George Baker and some others
to work on the reservoir and the
value of their labor amounts 10 $500
or more.
On the strength of these active opc--
ations, smooth talk and frequent ret
erences to large remittances that were
on the way, Maxwell established All
extensive and choice line Of credits
with the business men. He purchaser
supplies for his Bray Lake force AM

when his shipment OF coin would al

Maxwell's final deal was the pQr'
