THE THREATENING DANGER OF 1
MILITARY ATT0CRACY.

BY Gen. Isaac R. Sherwood Of Ohio
The greatest scholars and s0cioIo-
gists of the world today are men Of
peace, It is as true today as when
that great ERglishman. Thomas Gar
lyle, uttered 1t So years ago: "A stand
ing army means waste, depression and
moral decay. No nation can improve
its morals or grow in strength when
its bravest and best sens are year by
year dev0ured in the army
This is the stand taken by the san
est statesmen and the ripest scholar
ship of the age, and is the only posi-
ton which will keep this republic in
the track Of empire fixed by the great
spirits who framed the constitution
and sent the young republic on it's ca
.reer.
The time to end the barbarism Of
war is to scotch the reptile in the
head when we have a chance.
We must not forget that for genera
tons the habits of fight are in our
blood. Not a thousand years ago our
ancestors were raiding the Christian
monasteries Of England, continuing
their deadly marches with the bodies
of newborn infants carried on their
spears and the entrails of the moth
ers strung around their neeks as tro-
phies.
I quote an extract from the great
Rabbi Charles F'leiseher IN his reply
TO President Eliot of Harvard, in which
he makes the president look intellect
ually diminutive;
The Harvard sage errs ia saying
that there is. no reason why the Jews
should not make good fighters. There
happens to he the hest reason The
Jew has got out Of the habit OF fight
ing. He has lost the primitive mans
desire to kill, because he has been SO
long civilized You cannot brutaIize
him again. am happy to feel that.
in the ulain, that Eliots appeal to
the Jews must be in vain. because, by
long tradition, eliminating in native
instinct your average Jew believes
that Israels mission is peace"
Not for Peace at any Price.
In conclusion, / am n0t for peace at
any price, l am for peace until an
emergency arises or when the nation
is threatened. by q foreign foe, When
that occurs, I will offer my services
to the country and vote FOR as many

There was a brief silence between
the two men, when Billy Staples said
Ida sent ME off.
This was all the information any one
ever got out OF Mr., Staples, There is
d story connected with his dismissal
that puts the matter in a different
light.
Miss Trask was one OF house party
given In the autumn, and Of course
Billy was invited too, Edith Storms,
one of the girls of the party, was sit
ting on the porch with Billy and said
to him,
.I'm tired of riding, and I wish We

Of walking as she had claimed. A
branch Of a tree growing very near
the ground and parallel to it formed
convenient seat. Miss Storms sat
down. leaving room for her compan-

the two chatted for awhile on the
scenic beauty of the spot and the still
ness, the lady remarking that it was
just the place for proposal where

be happy to accommodate her If he
were not already engaged.
Miss Storms leaned forward, expos

with her lips very near his he gave it
up. He kissed her
The temptress rose and walked

So we were spending 90 per cent
