courier arrived here today bringing

The population is urged to re-

Peace and Preparedness

To the Editor of The Republican;
 The sophistry of a statement is sometimes obscured by the elegance and keenness of expression Such a statement appeared recently in The Republican in an argument faNorlng preparation for war. This IS the statement: "Uuti all men are good until their conduct is based upon and prompted by the desire of each to do his duty each to himself, his country and his Creator, force must be resorted to, to compel that right conduct whether the offender be an individual or a state.
 At first reading there seems to be nothing wrong with that statement but on close analysis we find it d false premise upon which to found an argument in favor of prepared ness for war. If we should wait for all men to become good before using other means than force to compel right conduct we would never make any progress toward either individual or national righteousness. A great deal of the wrong conduct in this world is due to a misunderstanding of the basic principles of life and of our relation to each other
 The most potent factor to bring about right conduct is to appeal to the wrong doer in such a way that he will voluntarily follow the right course. Force offers no convincing argument either to the mind or to the conscience It is applied not to the higher instincts of the man but to his fear of bodily or material in jury That force should be used only when all other means fail or cannot be gainsayed.
 We do not need to wait for every man to become good before applying the rule of justice to international affairs Self interest will line the great majority of men up against war Very few persons derive any benefit in their country's warfare. The saintly people are not the only ones who abhor war.
 If all those good people who are continually hoping that we may n yer again be involved in war are serious in their declara ton. why do they continually advise us to keep our swords sharpened, our guns load ed and bayonets fixed ready for the
Arizona republican., 1915-06-28

charge? If they are serious why don't they set in motion or help set in motion the machinery of peace?
 How many wars might have been avoided had we prepared the mach inery of peace instead of implements of war and destruction?
 It is true a perfectly good people would rightfully resist force directed at their own destruction. But in ternational disarmament does not propose disarming any single nation while the others continue building and developing their military power. International disarmament contem- plates the disarmament of every na- tion in a ratio that may be agreed upon. If one nations line of de- fense is not as strong as it might be the line of attack of the opposing nation is also weak.
 But he greatest nope of the paci- fisct is to establish the machinery of peace in place of the engines of war If we hope for peace we must prepare for war. To hope for peace and prepare for war is absurb
 There are many lessons to be learned from the present European struggle. Two of them are these: | irst. that preparedness for war does not secure peace. Second, that scrap of paper" between two or three nations will not afford protection from a powerful and well-prepared neighbor.
 The conclusion is this. That world wide disarmament and an interna- tional court of justice offers the most likely solution of the matter. If force must be restored to enforce the man dates of the court the combined strength of the signatory powers could easily bring the offending power to terms. But acquiescence to all decisions of such a court is reas- onably expected and force may be rarely applied. The chance of one nation standing out against the world would preclude any resistance to the mandates of the court. When all the great powers of the world are sigma tory to an international Judicial or arbitration court no one nation will dare to treat that seal as a scrap of paper
 Time is not ripe for universal peace No indeed! But time is ripe for good long step in that direction It will take years to work out. and in some instances it may seem to fail. But we can just remember then how the other plan failed. Ultimate ly it must work out right because arbitration or judicial proce- dure is the only logical way to deal with human relations either indi- Vidually or as nations

THIS WRITER NEVER WRITES

Count Okuma, though he is the author of books and pamphlets and innumerable magazine and innumer- able magazine and newspaper arti- Cles, dictates all his work to a sec retary and so far as is known has never even written his own sigma ture. The truth of the matter is that he forms the beautiful Chinese characters like schoolboy, ana, since the autographs of the great are highly prized in Japan. many eX- pedients have been unsuccessfully tried to get a scrap of his writing.
 A friend once made an attempt which came near being successful. He pretended to have forgotten how to form certain Chinese character and asked how it should be written Count Okuma took up the brush and paper which had been conveniently placed at his elbow. but the plot failed at the last moment for he put down the writing material with smile and traced the character with his finger in the ashes of the hearth.-Carl Crow in the Worlds Work for June.

TOBACCO RAISING IS SINFUL?

FRESH AIR A MENTAL FOOD

 Get all the fresh air you can into your home Unless a 5trurg wind is blowing, or the temperature is uncomfortably low, keep your win doWs open day and night. Especially keep them open at night, when you can protect your self from cold by your bed coverings. The fresher the air you breathe. the stronger you will be. mentally as well as physically This results from the fact that the mind often finds expression through a physical organ, the brain. Everything that promotes the vel fare of the brain is a help to mental activity
 The brain, like every other organ of the body requires a good supply of blood. Fresh air is invaluable tO the making of good blood.
 It is invaluable because of the presence in it of an element-oXy- gen-without which life could not be maintained. Breathed in with the

 Indirectly also it promotes organic ;a1 the digestive processes.
 Recent experiments have proved that digestion always goes more smoothly when food is eaten with relish. The greater the appetite the greater the relish; and the greater the relish the better the di- gestion On the opposite, food eaten when one is not really hungry IS always hard to digest.
 Fresh air. as everybody knows from personal experience, has a re- markably stimulating effect on appe- tite After a few hours spent out doors, even if spent in physical in activity there is always an unusually keen desire for food.
