CALLS
NATION
RELIC
BY gibson GARDNER

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April Fl
That patriotism is a prejud &C
and the nation a relic of the Ro.
man period, as out of date in the
present day civilization as the
catapault, is a doctrine brought
to this country by August Schvan
who recently lectured before The
Women's Peace Party in this city
Schvan is a Swedish man of af
fairs who came to the United
States hoping to clear the way 70,
q more intelligent peace program
at the conclusion of the war.
He has held many important
poses in Sweden and recently de
clined a seat in the Swedish sen
ate.
Schvan told the Women
Peace Party that to insure perma
nent world peace, IT would b.
necessary:
To abandon all ideas OF
natiOnalism and so-called pa
triotism;
To junk all so-called in
ternational law - q thing
which does not exist;
To discard the whole tribe
Of present day politicians
who are for the most part
intellectual heirs of the old
time medicine men;
To discard likewise the en-.
tire outfit Of diplomats;
To face the fact that the
present-day statesmanship is
bankrupt, that peace treaties
between nations are like
agreements between crimin-
ais not to commit crime;
To awake to the fact that
the earth is an entity, entire
ly explored and without
mysterious, lurking, hostile
aliens;
To realize that the theory
of the nation, ms we now re-
gard It, is born of = fear Of
hostile aliens and Is an arti-
fetal organization of people
70 rcpcl attack;
To realize that all men are
economically intcriependcnt;
that economies and national
ism are as irreconcilable as
are the superstitions of the
medicine men with an age Of
electricity;
To observe that man Is
primarily an economic ami
lnal moved by a healthy de-
sire to get minimum Of re-
suit from minimum OF ef-
fort;
That the idea OF the ma
tion Is an artificial inculca-
ton drulmmed into children
by means Of fIag-waving and
mis-written history;
That the BationaIistic pre-
judice is fostered by various
kinds Of special privilege,
among them being diploma
tic sinecures, armament man.
ufacture for profit, protective
tariffs, and the practice Of
pseudo-stat esmanship Tor

THE President refused to extend his lndianap-

other cities, There would have been no COM

CEEINC that the cause of our troubles is not
y the war but Democratic Blundering, the
people will attend to the removal OF that cause
at the first opportunity.
DEMOCRATS in Congress count that day lost
- in which bill is not introduced that has
for its purpose the 6lching Of few slmoleons
from Uncle SANS strong box.
IDEA seems to prevail in army and navy CIR
cles, anent our preparedness for war, is that
we are going around with chip upon each

THE Federal Reserve Banks will never be
big success until Republican Congress
makes the act over and inects some common

THE way leading Democratic papers are ad-

pork barrel" holds too many attractions tor
this advice to be followed.
is THIS LUKE LEA person the whole thing IN
this State? The manner in which ne has
the Legislature eating out his hand is either a
tribute to his political shrewdness or slam at

CPEAKINC of six-year term but, no; let

years Of this.
NEARLY everybody is trying to do something
II for the unemployed except the admlnlstra-
ton and Congress.
TT WE had 100000 of those fighting Bel
gians, in case of war we could spit in the

THE broadside Gov CoLQUITT delivered at the
L President and his policies has failed to
elicit reply that replies.
TT is safe to assume that W. ]. BRYAN will not
be as prominent in the next National Demo
cratic convention as in the last one.
TT BEGINS to look like CHAMP CLARK S proph-
L esy that the Democratic nomination IN 1910
wouldn't be worth having is coming true
THE manner in which LUKE LEA is shaping up
L things for the Legislature is causing quiet
smile among those who predicted such course.
THE President, as prophet on business I'M
provement, is shy few chips. Two years
of watchful waiting lend the spirit OF truth to
this statement
THERE may be plenty Of food for reflection,
and those who voted these psychological
times upon us ought to have to subsist upon this
kind of diet for million years.
TT IS said the President will take the southern
route on his wgy home from California. AS
this will necessitate his touching Texas, ne Will
doubtless pass that way in the night.
A LTHOUCH nearly the whole OF Terres Haute,
n Ind, including the Mayor, is under indict-
ment for election frauds, it hasn't anything on
Memphis, Tenn, so far as the frauds are con-
cerned.
WHEN the President makes that Indianapolis
w speech, it will be case of one man with
an enormous SALARY explaining to men whom
he has deprived of the privilege of drawing one
that conditions are just psychological.
WHAT the Governor of Texas had to say to
w the President of the United Stateswas in no
way connected with the length of time between
drinks Something or other was hinted about
it being long time between eats with some,
though.
THE Birmingham News felcitates the South
upon the fact that the President is the first
Southern man to hold that office in sixty years.

THERE is a feeling in business circle that tne
prosperity promised in 1912 was lost IN

DEASON ocean rates are so high IS that ships
IL have no certainty of a return cargo. Poor
time to start Government ownership.
ONE good thing about the Democratic party IS
- that it always makes itself so obnoxious
that it never stays in office but one term.
TN DEALING with England, it remains to be
l seen whether the State Department will take
the same course as in the Mexican squabble.
THERE are great many men IN the Demo
cratic party who are not so sure now tnat
the President is the biggest man since LINCOLN.
THE taking up of that Hamilton County con-
test for the Legislature to pass upon Its
merits was like the taking of CHRIST before

THE Presidents return trip from California

WHEN the President rises to explain why the

It isn't merely that the Ger government has always recognized this principle and venture to call the American practice Illegal truth that Germany herself has uniform ly practsed the very thing that the Germans row con dem.

 Hayes at the White House, and the National Academy Of Sciences at the Smithsonian Institution, and is now on exhibition in the Museum at Ken silgton, but a similar early machine
 is shown in the national Museum
 The later developments of the phon- ograph are represented in a series of
 Edison instruments in which the re-
 cords are made on wax cylinders by
 steel stylus, and by inventions of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, Chiches- ter A. Bell and Mir. Sumner Fainter,
 iI which the record on the wax cylin-
 der is carved out by sty;us termi-
 hating in a cutting point The first
 practical machine of this sort was produced by them in 1887, and called the Graphophone
 Another group of original apparatus Illustrates the talking machine called
 the Gramophone, devised by Mir Emile Bcrliner. first introduced in 1887, and publicly demonstrated the following year before Franklin Insti- ute of Philadelphia. In this instru- mcnt the sound vibrations are first recorded in a delicate flm of wax or fatty substance spread on tho surface
 of a flat zinc disc. The lines thus traced by the stylus are etched by means of chronic acid into the zinc
 10 en even depth. From this record
 a reverse electrotype matrlx i5 then made and from it a large number of India-rubber copies arc produced.
 The Franklin Institute machine, a collection of MT. Berliner's eariyeX- Perimeutal apparatus ana specimens showing the various steps in the man. ufacture of his records form part of the Museum collection. The Gram ophone was the forerunner Of ha Victor talking machine, examples Of which together with one os tee latcat Edison machines and an electrically operated Columbia Graphopn5ne, are also displayed
 Unlike purely historical collections the exhibits of mechanical technology
 include ever growing series of instru- ments aud devices, which are kept up
 to date by the additions of each mod ern improvement.

Britons have the sweetest tooth, and Americans come next, if the sta tistics for consumption of sugar mean anything. An Englishman eats an nually 92.4 pounds, an American con sumes 79.2 pounds In Denmark the average consumption is 72.6 pounds per capita; in Switzerland 1t is 55 pounds; in Germany Holland, Swed en and Norway it is from 39 to A pounds; in France, 35 pounds; in Bel eium. 33; in Austria, 242; in Russia l9S; in Pottugal, 15.4; in Spain and Turkey.
