Militarism VS.. Democracy

Democracy had progressed to such
an extent in Europe that it was neces-
sary for monarchial parties to have
war, or change their methods of
government" So says DR.. John w.
Slaughter, of the University of Lon
don, who is a native of Alabama and
now lives in England. That is the
view that was expressed by many
Americans when the war broke out
more than year ago.
DIR. Slaughter says that many per-
sons in hiscountry do not understand
the great progress that has been made
in social democracy in Europe and
he might have said that most Ameri-
cans do not understand it; and that
this is particularly true of England.
Through popular education, social
ism, trades-unionism and CO. operative
societies." he says, "the common
people Of England have been taught
what their rights are and how they
can secure them"
OF course, the privileged classes
including the great, land owners who
perform no services, yet have vast in
comes from ground rents-have, as
DR.. Slaughter points out, watched the
growth of the democratic idea in
Great Britain with alarm, just as the
privileged classes in America have
watched with much alarm the growth
of the democratic idea in this country.
And here, as in Great Britain and in
Germany, militarism is peculiarly
the function OF the ruling classes"
"When the opportunity was pre-
sented Of engaging in wars without,
or OF facing difficulties within" as DR..
Slaughter puts it, Germany declared
war, Austria declared war, Russia de-
clared war and Great Britain declared
WARRIOR the common people to fight
and pay for. That easily and natural
ly and correctly accounts for the eff
forts of men Of special privileges in
this country to create q military spirit
here.
| The political and economic prob
lens at home are easily forgotten
when nation is at war, or 10 busy
getting ready to fight a real or an
imaginary foe. 1t is easy for The
People to forget and turn aside from
their political and economic troubles
when calculating, scoundrelly con-
spirators have cultivated hatred fol
some nation. The People will no
willingly bear the expenses of huge
costly military and naval establish
ments unless they have been taught t
fear and then hate their brothers o
some other nation.
The interests--the war trust an(
the whole brood Of special privilege
In this country are alarmed for feai
that some Of their privilege, thei
power to take tribute from the people
viii be taken from them, and 1t shoult
be taken from them. Hence the de
mand for preparedness"
Further, as DR.. Slaughter points out
the British tories would like to see en-
forced military service "as basis fol
the future, for imposing mill
tarism as an adjunct Of the rulinl
classes." 30, American tories-hold
ers Of special privileges, owners 0
millions they have not learned ivan
enforced military service in this coun
try. That is one Of the things desire,
by the jlngoes, by the war trust, by al
those who In the name of "prepara'
tIon for war In order to maintain
peace" would Pruasianize America.

Enrico is in a quandary till he remem-
bers the resemblance between himself
and his master He dresses himself in
the Princes uniform and, goes out and
passes himself off as the Prince. The
body of the Prince is washed up and
found. Valerie indentifies it as Enrico
and tells the chief of police that she
believes her lover has been murdered
for helping her to escape. The chief
of police tells the cabinet ministers of
Valerie's supicions and they decide
that they cannot have a King of such
character ruling them. They decide to
have him disappear and get Valerie
to write a letter saying that she has
changed her mind and wishes to be a
friend of the King. Enrico thinks
that Valerie is false to him as he does
not know all the circumstances that
led to the writing of the letter. He
goes to her house to upbraid her. In
the meantime arrangements are made
to kidnap the supposed King~ When
Enrico in his false situation arrives,
he proves to Valerie that he is in
deed her true lover. She tells him of
the plot against him and aids him to
escape. The paths are too well
guarded and the false Enrico falls a
victim of his ambition.
Other pictures to be shown include
Father and Son, drama of regenera-
ton in three reels starring the film

Prince Ludwig of Gravania is very
wild and often goes away on sprees
that would reflect no credit on the
has servant Enrico who so strongly
resembles him that when he leaves
the palace he dresses the servant as

noticed The servant is in love with a
pretty peasant girl. On one of their
walks the servant makes a cash in

for his paramour. His advances, how
ever, are repulsed. Being not used
to having any of his wishes frustrated,
he gives orders to his grooms to kid
nap the girl and bring her to his room
in the palace. The deed is carried out
and the girl is put in the Princes
room to wait his return While she is
there Enrico enters. She tells him of
her plight and he helps her to escape
through a secret passage. On the
Princes return Enrico upbraids him
for his treatment of Valerie A strug-

killed. Just then news comes that the
King is dead and that the people are

in the United States. The present
scale of wages for coach drivers is
$57 month. You know a man with

cents an hour. We ask in our new
agreement for $40 a month, which is
less than the union scale of wages.

only cents for each passenger from

out for want of cherishing and nOur-
ishing by the state is the noble art
of pugilism. This branch Of science
which demands such a minute knOWl-
edge of anatomy in order to- reach
the weak points,. such as the solar
plexus and the nerves lying behind
the chin, and which has been such
great factor in our climbing to high
civilization, has suffered from the
mixing of races and our inability to
find white hope.
The state has rather frowned upon
the delicate and high-minded amuse-
ment and the expert knockers-Out
are losing their efficiency.
Civilization is slowly perishing on
this. account.
But yet there is hope. The Sports
mems club is coming to the rescue
with a law which will revive the de-
cadent art and will also provide d few
offices for some aspiring politicians
at a salary of five thousand a year
each. The working men and women
and girls of Illinois will no doubt be
glad to contribute of their mUnifcent
earnings toward the payment of the
expenses of this new industry.
Employment is scarce now and
there will be opportunity for many
Woodworking experts with the right
kind of a punch and the ability to
stand punishment to add to the
wealth of the community and put
some money into circulation.

to punish him for his alleged theft
of an automobile, four tires and four
inner tubes, County Detective Rich

sawed three Jail bars in a futile at
tempt to escape. He is now being
held on indictments charging hun
with white slavery, conspiracy and
Jail breaking. Mr.. Peltier concluded
that Sandy would be an old man

got through dealing with him on
those counts.
