How unpleasant this would be,
And began 20 plan procedure

But found that my aggressor

A GLOOMY PROSPECT.


Last fall when Lord Kitchener an
nounced that the. European war might
last three years the world thought he
must be beside himself So tremen~
dous was the expense and so frightful
the laughter that it seemed impos-
sible that the struggle could be pro-
lOnged beyond the opening Of spring
Yet here the summer season is upon
US and the end is apparently further
away than ever. Entrenched millions
bid each other defiance and struggle
back and forth for months over few
hundreds yards of territory-recov-
ering, losing, and recovering again as
the tide of battle GIBBS and flows That
the combatants nave no hope Of an
early termination Of their struggle
and that they are preparing 10 carry
the war on indefinitely 5 attested by
their endeavOrs to secure equipment
that cannot be utilized for many
months. This is brought home 10 US
by the present activity Of our next
door neighbor. Canada, where train
ing camps are now being established
10 prepare 100, 600 soldiers for Eu-
ropean service These men are vet
to be recruited and they cannot pos
sihly be whipped into shape before
the coming Of the winter season They
can hardly be expected. therefore, TO
come into active service for almost
a year, for winter in Europe is not
exactly conducive 10 open campaign
ing.
This war has already lavished the
savings of the world and il seems to
be only in its beginning The future
will have the bill 10 pay aIIl it viii be
paid by coming - suffering and the
woe OF generations yet 70 be Let Us
have a care that the future genera
lions OF our own land have no part
in the payment Of this debt OF wick
edness.

rROGREssIvE PHILOSOPHY.

Here is a bit Of progressive philos-
Ophy, also fundamentally democratic,
which though voiced by a bull mooser.
is well worth perusal and analysis. II
comes from Hiram Johnson, progress
sive governor of California. and would
that it might have been said by Sam
uel VI. Ralston. democratic governor
Of Indiana. though we anticipate that
Gov. RalstOn. if the democracy of the
state would give him chance, might
utter pretty much the same thing As.
the story goes, Gov. Johnson when
recently asked to outline the greatest
achievement OF the five years of pro-
gressive dominance in California, an
sWered:
The breaking down of that old
cynicism in regard TO the posi-
bility OF the peoples government.
In place OF that hOpelessness with
which the political and govern
mental nrobler' was regarded we
have substituted popular self
confidence and knowledge
among the people that what they
want in the way of legislation or
administrative government they
can get.
To substitute popular self-cOnf-
dence for hopelessness is an almighty
big thing ana it may be the sole ex-
PLANTATION of the fact that progress
sivism is very much alive in Hiram
Johnson's state. even if pretty consid-
erably moribund in other parts.
one of the great political needs of
the whole nation is popular conviction
that the people can get what they
want and. if they don't it is their own
fault
Dollar tyranny, saloon politics.
crooked or other machines" corrupt
bosses, all the evils of a republican
form of government are very largely
the creations of popular hopelessness,
or avoidance of political duty. The
voters are responsible for just what
the country gets. Responsibility goes
with the franchise. The victims OF
machines" corruption and special
privileges are those who permit such
things
But such evils are not wholly with
out their compensation. In assuming
her right power against political cor
ruption California discovered that she
had power not only to put down evil
but also 10 promote tremendous good,
and, glorying i'm that new power, she
went ahead with policies that mean
progress and greater happiness for
her people Had she stopped with
the mere ousting of the old gang"
she would soon have lapsed into hope
lessneSS and soon have again been at
the mercy of the old gang."
Decay awaits the republican state
or nation whose people have finally
lost confidence in their power TO do
with the ballot, The answer TO an
archy. or any sort Of revolution is
that the people have full power To do
anything they desire, in the ballot.
And highly fortunate is that people
who are fully conscious of such power
and possess the courage to use it for
their own interests.
