WHY I'm THE ABSTRACT?"
[Mendnn Haraldl


The editor of the Ohio State Jour
nal has announced that he will sup
port the amendment to the constitu-
ton to limit elections to six years on
all questions which have been twice
voted upon since Sept a, 1912.
In the abstract, he tells us, it is
the correct view. When a man wants
to fool you, he talks about the abb
stract. We doubt if this learned ed
itOr could tell us what he means by
in the abstract" Slavery was right
in the abstract, so some of the pro
slavery men taught. That abstract
way of thinking of the slavery ques-
tions and this proposed amendment
is one and the same thing.
The abstract can not be divorced
from the concrete, unless one could
conceive Of no evil in the world. The
slavers wanted an excuse for their
iniquituOus practises, so they said
slavery was right in it's abstract The
editor of the Ohio State Journal and
the whisky men in general want to
stop agitation and elections and put
the state entirely at the mercy of the
liquor gang. so they get behind a lot
of sophistries and tell you it is all
right as an abstract proposition.
If one wanted to take any other view
of the matter, he could not, for it is
a saloon measure; the saloons all ov-
er the state being headquarters to
get signers to the petitions. While
the State Journal sells it's space to
the whisky advertisers whose use of
the names of illustrious men to fur
ther their iniquitous business is a
disgrace to journalism.

TWO OPINIONS OF AMERICA
LChicago Tribunel ]

LChicago Tribunel
II. G. Wells writes that: "The
United States will take the financial
scepter out of the hands of London
and become the country of rich men,
to which all other countries will be
in debt. England will cease to be
the fat land of the world That
doubtful privilege of fatness will pass
across the Atlantic" Then he adds
mournfully: That does not, how
ever, mean the American common
man will be any better off than at
present. The rise in prices will pro-
badly make him worse off, but the
American plutocart will become the
financial master of the world. There
will be more prosperity and less
stimulus in American life"
Professor George Simmel writes in
the Berlin Tageblatt: America
stands near by as the waiting heir at
the deathbed of a rich testator The
sending of ammunition is not only
criminal enterprise for the enrich
ment of some purveyors, it is the first
great practical impulse with which
America hopes to accelerate the wes-
tern turn of the hand of world his
tory. 1t plays its arms into the
hands of the European nations, hop
ing they will kill themselves for its
advantage, and then takes huge pro-
fits. America promotes in this sin
gle attitude the weakening of Eu-
rope in two ways"
Mr.. Wells is thinking in English
terms and Professor Simmel in Ger
man terms The fact is that Ameri-
ca is dealing and will deal with the
problems in an American way. We
haven't the English caste system,
and the public opinion that controls
in the United States demands better
living standards for workmen. Mr..

ALCOHOL HER CURSE

Europe has had one year of war.
No one can guess the end. Germany
has been defeating the Russian army
and driving them back. Russia
spends three cents, each year, for
each person for educational purposes.
Germany spends many times that
sum. Several million men have al
ready been killed, wounded, or made
crazy by the horrors of war Eng
land seems to have lost her old time
fighting qualities. The German ar
my is the greatest fighting machine
in the world England has been
drunk too long to be strong. Eng
land is the most Incorporate nation
in the world Alcohol is her curse.

A PREACHER WORTH WHILE

1t was a sultry evening The
pavements and the brick walls were
giving back the heat they had absorb
ed during the day. At the corner
a man was making a speech. His
face was streaming an dthe prespira-
tiOn had soaked even through his
coat, He was talking about electric
light rates; and about religion inter
preted in terms of social justice;
about a little boy who had to leave
school to exc out the family income
and who was killed while on the way
to his job
Every night you may find him at
some corner preaching the faith that
is in him. An even little children
stand at his feet and listen from first
word to last.
He might be quite comfortable at
his suburban hOme-this midsummer
night preacher The breezes blow
there when the air is motionless at
the street corners to which he brings
his message.
His name is H. s. BigelOw 1t is
quite fashionable for the fat and the
self-satisfied to throw bricks at him.

WITHOUT
Equal Franchise Our Government
Is Not a True Democracy,
Say What We May.

[By Judge Charles l., Guy, Supreme
Court of New York;
As a democrat | believe that all
adult, sane human beings who have
not forfeited the right by criminal
misconduct are entitled to voice in
the making of laws which they must
obey and in making the conditions
under which they must live.
As a democrat | believe in democ-
racy, which is something this nation
has never yet tried, Our govern
ment now, in which one-half of the
population is denied a voice in its
affairs, is a government of hypocrisy
and not of democracy.
If American men believe in de-
mocracy, if they believe in the wo-
men who gave them birth, if they be-
lieve in the women who are their
comrades and companions in life,
who make their homes happy, who
make their lives successful, who
stand by them faithfully in every
of life, they will register
their verdict-a verdict that will
stand for all time-that in the eyes
of an American freeman the dignity
of American womanhood stands side
by side and the equal of the dignity
of American manhood.
Not man above woman, not woman
above man, but man and woman side
by side, comrades and companions
life's journey, and God over
all and for all forever.

who sahieye seldom talk, and men
who talk seldom achieve. There is

of it; to commune with men who can
hear the roar OF civilization few

against every man who achieves,

Of its day There never will be a

One of the greatest opportunities In

In practical cooperation of the coun-

with greater possibilities than any

to farmers at low rate OF interest,
and ofttimes without compensation, to
buy blooded livestock, build silos,
fertilize the land, secure better seed
