The GREATER PoWER.-The

The GREATER POWER.-There
are no such things as self-made men.
1t is sure fact that man has nothing
to do with his coming or going from
here.
Man plows the soil, plants the seed,
digs out the ore and converts it into
articles of use, yet without the help
of some greater power than man,
mans work would be futile. What
power men or women possess must
be supplied by God or nature, and
even such great benefactors as Thos.
Edison and Henry Ford could do
nothing without that help.
Some work and produce while
others destroy, but if all were built to
build no mothers son would need go
to war. The boy who builds supplies
the one who destroys with food,
clothes and ammunition to keep him
active, so he can kill and destroy.
Some say war is a necessity and
after this conflict the right ciViliza-
ton will pop in, even though pre-
paredness and the manliness of war
will continue to be preached. would
not like to tell a man that war is
wrong and then tell him that 1 am
going to prepare to fight to maintain
peace. Preparedness for war to bring
about universal and lasting peace in
this patched-up world that some SUI
preme power only gave us permis-
sion to live in is like trying to be in
two places at once.
We do not own one foot of this
world, to tell the truth. AS soon as
we have teachers enough throughout
the world to teach the faIlacy of war
and enough people willing to take
heed we will have civilization.
We should be thankful to those
who by honest, hard work helped to
build the world, and, above all, a
power greater than man, without
which we could not breathe or exist.

Join together in sympathy for all of
our fellow men who are being slaugh-
tered, instead of taking sides, as
many are doing. For, after all, the
working man has nothing in common
with monarchs or aristocrats, and
the American citizen should be the
first to realize that fact.-Geo. Mus
grave.

WET QUESTIoNS-

WET QUESTIONS.-How does the
vets demonstration appear to you
now, Hon. VIM. Hale? Does it ap-
pear to you as if the Chicago public
desires a dry Sunday? In my esti-
nation the answer is large mo"
Qm teetotaler.)
Did you see the vast multitude of
humanity which paraded the streets
of Chicago, proving to you it's not
what the public wants?
Did you see the different lodges in
line displaying their hatred for
dry Sunday? Where were the COB
scure drys"?
What are your intentions for the
future, big Bill''? You possess the
autocracy for the present, NO doubt,
but use some good common sense in
your Uranium in disposing of same.
My idea is, repeal the order imme-

RINGS.-One of the signs of the
childish mind among men is the
wearing of rings. The man who
wears jewelry is weak sister and if
he wears a diamond ring he should
be treated as a simple-minded per-
son. The diamond ring or the dia-
mond shirt stud or tie pin brands
the wearer as having not yet COM
pIeteIy emerged into adult life. AS
the psychology experts would say, he
has a mind of the 10-year-old boy.
Labor leaders are accustomed to
wear rings. Even Bill Haywood wears
ring. Mr.. O'Connen, the union ma
chinist who was on the industrial re-
lations commission with Frank P.
Walsh, wore a diamond ring at every
session.
Say, men, let's take off the rings
and stick pins and shirt studs and
noisy cuff buttons-An Employer.

a COMPLETE course in the world s
IN literature. selected by experts

officials who keep in close touch with
the needs of the people, is the latest
experiment of the bureau of education
in Washington-an experiment which
it is hoped, will result in the material
elevation of the literary tastes of the
people throughout the United States.
For years teachers and preachers
have been insisting that the average
citizen of the United States reads en-
tirely too much trash" that the chill
dren of the nation are being brought
UP solely on reading which not only
does not improve their minds. but
which actually Injuries them. But the
movement has stopped there. No one
has thought to carry 1t further or to
remedy the evil to which it gave rise.
1t therefore remained for P. P. Clax-
ton, chief of the bureau Of education
of the Department Of the Interior. to
see what the government could do to
better the literary taste Of the coun-

discussing this experiment, ito lay

is the opinion of the bureau of educa-

no sense an advertisement for any
