ENORMOUS WASTE.

The man of this world is no long'
Indifferent to the mountainous wasro
represented by the saloon and its at
tendant vices. The statesman more
than the preacher. the ballot box more
than the pulpit, is called upon to con-
front this awful waste of human en-
ergy, this dissipation of earth's re-
sources, misdirection of mans toll. 1t
is by decree OF the economist, of
the good statesman, the boasted prac.
tical man OF business, the manager of
railroads and the directors of banks,
that the saloon has got to go.-Rev.
Jenkin Lloyd Jones.

WHAT DOES HE cEr7

A New York business man puts II
this way:
Suppose two workingmen, quitting
on Saturday, each with, say, $12 in
his pay envelope One goes to the
corner saloon and spends 81 for drink
going home to his family drunk,
and with IS in his pocket. while the
other goes to the corner and delib-
erately throws 81 out of his pay en-
velope into the sewer-going home so
ber, and with $s in his pocket. Which
is the better husband and father?
What did the first man purchase with
his money!"

WHY rs A TRUST?

q OPPOSE the farmers OF the Northwest
y should join in a large organization for
the purpose of securing good prices for
the results Of their tabor. Would this com
bine be prosecuted as a trust and possibly
dissolved because Of "restraint of trade?
Would such an organization be illegal in
the eyes of the law, or a lawful institution?
The courts apparently differ on the subject,
il recent decisions are any criterion.
Three United States District Court Judges
decided last October that the North Allan
tic steamship trust was not committing an
unlawful act by combining and maintaining
a pool to fix rates of fare for Storage and
third-class passengers. The court main
tanned that the fares were not excessive and
the combination prevented throat-cutting,
which might be worse.
The International Harvester Company
was tried before a district court last August
and ordered dissolved because it was a big
concern. It came out in the testimony that
the harvester company had not violated any
law, as it had not raised prices Or threatened
extinction of independent concerns. 1t had
only done what the steamship company had
done, combined to prevent throat-cutting
among numberless small concerns. Yet one
trust was patted on the head, called a good
fellow and sent on its way, while the other
was kicked out with the command to "un-
scramble" itself.
The Supreme Court Of the United States
has now to decide, on an appeal, if the Or
der was constitutional. Trust law is ap-
p%arently more complicated than a trust.

FINELY Pertinent Comment Upon Men and Affairs Fdowngu Trend Of World News
Suggestions Of interest to readers; Hints Along Lines Of Progressive Farm Thought

$50 people to the square mile III prosperity
and comforter did before a wicked war
blasted it-and Holland 416.
In the second place, and even adopting
the absurd assumption that deliberate cur
tailment Of population is necessary-which
is wholly an assumption and not supported
by any respectable scientific fact or even
theory--war is too blind a way to do it.
TO say that Providence intended that hu-
mainly should curb its natural increase by
war is to insult Providence by denying it
ordinary intelligence.
And if society must kill to prevent over
population, why kill its %fittest, as war does'
War is not a survival Of the fit, but Of the
unfit-the fit are taken and the culls are
left to breed inferior future generations.
If society must kill to protect itself, why
not kill intelligently? Why not periodically
slaughter the unfit? Let civilization, in
stead of leading barbarism out of darkness,
slay it in its benightedness and take its land.
China is rich and large. The Chinese are not
progressive. If society must kill, let it kill
intelligently; let it depopulate China and
occupy it with its civilized overflow.
Nonsense? Of course, but not half SO
nonsensical as the outpOurings Of Edgar
Stanton Maclay in his defense of militarism
which is barbarism surviving past its time.
The limits of the soils capacity to sup
port life are not yet even known, not to
speak Of being reached. So far as a world
congestion Of humanity is concerned, there
seems to be a law, illustrated by the large
birth rate that goes with pioneering hard
ships and the low birth rate that accom-
panies comfort and luxury, to prevent that
imaginary peril.
And even if it be admitted that arbitrary
curtailment of population is necessary, no
c%rueller, cruder, madden way of doing it
than by the barbaric method Of war could
be imagined.

APPALLING DEFENSE OF WAR.

QUITE the most atrocious defense Of
w war-incidentally it is also a bitter at
tack on peace as an enemy Of man
kinds furnished by Edgar Stanton Ma
clay, author "The History Of the Navy
in the North American Review, says an
Eastern journal.
Falling back on exploded and forgotten
Nautilus, his point is that if we let humanity
increase in peace, we shall starve:
We must not close our eyes to the fact that
there are fewer than thirty million square miles
Of land suitable for the support Of mankind on
the globe. Centuries of experience show that this
land will not support more than a hundred per-
sons per square mile; so that the worlds popula-
ton would seem to be limited to three billions.
Already the earth's population exceeds half this
limit. If all nations are to cease preparations for
war and concentrate their energies in the pursuit
will be more than three billions in less than a
single generation. Obviously, If the worlds pop
ulation is not kept down by war, 1t will be re-
stricted by other means. etc.
Nothing more atrocious than this can be
imagined.
In the first place, Centuries of expert
ence'' are worthless in view Of the fact that
the world has not yet begun to learn the
possibilities of the soil in supporting life.
The arbitrary limit Of a hundred people to
the square mile is absurd. Belgium supports

A IN CHINA.

WYE QUOTE the following, which il
w quite worth giving a moments no.
tee, from the amiable poet philoso-
pher, Walt Mason:
The war goes on, the soldiers labor ~ hours
a day at Staying foes; and men are welding
sword and saber who should be plying spades
and hoes. There is no sign Of early quitting, since
neither side can overwhelm; and grand old China
does her knitting, and peace abides within her
realm. The rage grows hot, instead of colder,
among most nations not at war; each has a chip
upon its shoulder, and wonders what it's waiting
for. They fear the struggle will be over before
they have a chance to whoop; but China bales
her hay and clover, and puts up cans of BIRDS
nest soup. In her calm blood there is no fever, she
homes not for the fields alarms; she does not
wish to swing a cleaver, or snickersnee, or other
arms. She lists not to the martial clackers, she
entertains no frenzied hates, but wisely builds
her cannon-crackers, and ships them proudly to
the States. From Sacramento to Salina We jeer
the lowly Mongol's name, and glibly talk Of
Heather China" and laugh to scorn her quiet
game. But now the world is battle crazy, old
China It's that puts up ice; inscrutable, her meth.
DDS may, she calmly stews her rats and rice.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
THERE are many people to whom the
i greeting Happy New Year!" may

llIIltlI dlC Iudiy pCoPiC W NHohh 'h~
greeting "Happy New Year," may
seem rather a mockery, for to many
the old year has not brought forth the full
fillment of wishes for a "Happy New Year"
pronounced January l, 1914. But who
knows what future is stored for him i'll the
365 days Of the new year? The year 1915
may go down in history as one Of the most
prosperous the United States has ever
known. 1t may in the future recall a year
of business revival, the like Of which was
never seen before. 1t may mean a wealth
of trade with South America and Europe
which will enrich the Golfers of this Nation
beyond the most lurid imagination. 1t may
mean a prosperity that will be general and
widespread in America.
Of course this view of the future is pos.
sibly with glasses of too pronounced a rose
tint, but is not optimism better than pessim-
ism? And then there are signs, plenty OF
them. that augur well for the United States
in the year to come. There is little appar-
ent reason now why it should not be a re-
markably prosperous year, though the sad
part of it is it would probably be a prosper
ity reaped at the expense Of our brethren
in Europe.
Be assured that it will be a far happier
new year for you in America-partlcularly
for you in the wonderful Pacific Northwest
than for hundreds of thousands, nay, mil
lions, Of rich and poor alike in Europe.
Where riches stave off actual want and hun
ger in France, in England and in Germany,
still there is the more poignant distress
that of bereavement. In few families is not
a son. a husband, a father or a cousin dead,
killed in battle.
We have many causes here in America to
congratulate ourselves at the beginning of
the year of our Lord, 1915. Everywhere
business conditions are far better than they
were a year ago, and a confidence in the
future Of many projects is to be found in
plenty. Money is being put into wider cir
~culation and the benefit is widespread. The
feeling of stringency that has gripped the
money market Of the country is loosenine
and dollars and cents are parted with moro
freely than they were even a few months
ago.
