Wars and Machinery.

More than ever before in the history
Of the world. wars are affairs of machi
merry rather than individual strength or
personal prowcsS. All Of our industries
are carried OH hv mahinery. Rapid trans
pOrtation has been made possible only
by machinery. and machinery will play
an increasingly important part in the
wars Of the future. BE that a. il may,
however, the chief reliance If a country
for nation defense. j. a sturdy. trained.
patriotic citizenship. Without this e.
%scntial. destructive intentions lose half
their potentially. The United States
afford L. depend entirely upon Y
number of mighty fighting machines like
our great hatticShipS. for the safety and
preservation If that country. England
has made that mistake. Had the British
empire been able To- put five million fully
nquippcd aud trained mcn-a small thing
compared 10 the vast size Of the empire
into the field M the outset Of the war
the conflict would now bc o-cr.

CHANCE FOR BUYERS OF steel.
AND IRON PRODUCTS.

The establishment II announced Of
a 5000, 10000 steel corporation by Hen
~ Clay Frick, the well known Pitts
burg multi-millionairr. which II cX-
pected TO be- a rival of the United
States Steel trust. If il b. true that
Carnegie and Frick, those giants of
the financial world whose growth was
based almost solely upon the profits
madc from iron manufactures. may
actually start a war against each other,
there may be a feeble CLEAN of hope
for the MASSES who must pcrforcr buy
their products. If the prices Of steel
and iron products should be brought
down somewhere near the level Of the
actual values of the articles sold by
these gigantic manufacturing trusts,
this would be q most appropriate oc-
casson for celebration by their cuS-
toners.
II is probably too much 10 hope for
the manufacture by either trust Iof
such stoves az those which Mother used
10 boast she used for "A quarter of a
eniury. without rust or break. or for
other implements of ron or steel such
as the farmers and mechanics once
found dependable for years Of ons
tant use, railroad rail which will
not rust out and split within a few
years after they are laid. Ii would not
pay the steel trusts To make things So
durable aS the iron mongcrS once pro
duced. Their profits are earned by
forcing people To- buy often. \ stove
that would last for twenty-five years
or a cultivator that would not Ia 20
10 pieces quickly would he a poor
thing for the production Of a Carnegie
or a Prick fortune.
Still, the news that Carnegie and
Frick may some day be- competing
with each other gives one ground TO
dream that the people may finally get
a chance TO ave a few pennies ont of
their annual tribute To the steel
giants. to lay up towards the purchase
of a p~honograph or perhaps even a
cheap automobile.
