It took only forty-eight hours for
the street car men of Chicago and
the traction companies there to decide
that after all arbitration was better
way of settling their wage <controver-
sy than by a strike. The men declin-
ed arbitration prior to the strike but
after it had gone on for two days. they
and the companies arrived at an I'M
derstanding as to what was a fair
method of arbitration. 1t cost the
men in the neighborhood Of $4,000
and the company probably more than
that.

Non7dn's Stand Against War
Her Appeal to Take Unreasoning Anger Out of the
Councils of the World
STARR JORDAN
Chancellor Leland University

, inevitable leader of the Women's
Peace party of America, and later that
of the world. On April Is, at the
Hague, under the patronage of Queen
Wilhelmina came together world
congress of representative women. In
this congress, under the lead Of Miss
| Adams, came many delegates from
the United States, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, Holland, Switzerland and a
few-under difflculty-from the states
actually at war Miss Adams was
made president and the congress
adopted a platform, which so far as
stated in the press, is similar to that
adopted by the women OF America at
preliminary meeting at Washington.
The congress asks for council OF ma
tons, instead of the concert of pow
ers, with it's dangerous and fluctuating
| Balance of Power" 1t asks for q
gradual organization Of civilized ma
lions on basis of order, with the sub
stitution of law for force. 1t demands
Limitation of ornaments, and an inter
national police. 1t calls for the demo
cratic control of foreign policies, for
the franchise for women, for organized
opposition to militarism, and for the
education of the young in ideas of peace
and international friendship, and away
from the medieval notion that war Is
salutary and strengthening expert
ence necessary to the life of nation.
1t calls for the abatement of the econ
omic causes or excuses for war, and,
as an immediate measure, the calling
of general conference of the neutral
nations.
The meeting in Holland did not put
an end 10 the war. Its leaders did not
expect that it would Evils so deeply
entrenched cannot be removed with a
word. It's resolutions included moth
ing novel. nothing that thousands OF
good women and men had not thought
of before. It was not the intention to
make display of originality. The
sole ruler of the world is public opin-
ion. The public opinion of the women
of Europe and of America, this meet

clarity. Its purpose was to set wom-
en- to thinking. The unthfnking ex-
haltation of blind patriotism has been

the most part blind murder and sense
less waste, and the reasons that WON
en- have accepted for their sacrifice
are not true reasons. The Women s
Peace party incites women to think,
and when they think clearly, the war
system of the world is doomed. In the
day when the events of this terrible
wear can be seen in their true perspec-
tive. there will be seen few incidents
so full of hope for the future as the
congress of representative women at
the Hague.

All war is waged against women;
for on them, directly or indirectly,
falls its heaviest burdens of privation
and sorrow. God counts woman's
tears" says the wise man of the Tai
mud And if God has counted all the
tears the women of Europe have shed
in this year Of sorrows, he must have
a fearful score against men who have
so long glorified murder if done on a
grand scale with the sanction OF the
state, and the blessing of the church.
1t was brave woman of Austria,
the Baroness Bertha Won Suttner, who
first told the story of war; it's brutal
ity it's heroism and its lies, as just
women ought to see it. Her story OF
woman's sufferings as set forth IN her
book "Waffen Nieder' Ground Arms,
turned the current of thought for thou
sands of other women and thousands
of men. "Waffen Nieder," Madam Won
Suttner once said to me, was not the
story of my life; it made my life she
had shown a glimpse of better Worlo,
one ruled by ideas, not by bayonets..
And following her, other women
have risen to tell the same story.
Olive Schreiner, in South Africa, spoke
for the women of the Transvaal, ana
for all other women. only woman
knows what man costs; and wom-
en-, the creators of mems bodies, should
have some word to say When THESE
bodies are ordered to destruction.
With Olive schreiner arose Emily
Hobhouse of London in protest against
the hideous evils of the reconcentra-
ton camps. In South Africa, there
as elsewhere, the makers OF war;
foiled by the opposition OF soloiery'
turned against women and other non
combatants. striking at those who can
not strike back.
And the noble work these three
noble women began, has bravery con-
t,nued in the face of the most terrible
outrage of all times. Theirs is the ap-
neal to take unreasoning anger out OF
the councils of the world; to make
lawless violence the last OF last re-
sorts, never the first, in international
DISPUTES. Withal, theirs is the appeal
to guard the lives of women and chill
dren, those who cannot fight, and who
in war can never help themselves.
Madame Rosika Schwimmer came
last fall from Hungary, nation which
ha suffered intolerably from war
in which it was but catspaw IN the
hands of ambitious men. She brought

stirring appeal that they should arise
as one to put an end to this war. 1t
was not clear how this could be done
as a matter of fact. AS matter OF
feeling. however, she struck respon-

PARTY of America arose, pledged to
use all influence possible in the strug-
gle against war.

GETTING IDENTIFIED.

The public measure of a man in any

The Chinch Bug.

The field chinch is the worst
enemy of the staff of life crop in
this state, accoi ding to years OF
statistics in the United States De-
partment O; Agriculture. How
ever, the Missourian who knows
the game will not pillow up his
wheat for either chinch bug or
Hessian fly, today, for they seldom
ruin wheat in Missouri, when
we are blessed with plenty of rain,
Resist that panicky feeling.
The period of prevention of the
bug brood is past. What we need
is practical ways and means for
self defense. Spraying against
chinch bugs is of doubtful value
and expensive. Dissolve a pound
of hard soap in a gallon of hot
water, then add two gallons Of
common coal oil, adding fifteen
parts of cold water, if you decide
to spray a garden patch. seed corn
plot or bluegrass yard.
The mailing Of inoculated or
diseased chinch bugs has been
stopped. The Department of Ag
riculture declares it is a failure.
The Missouri Experiment Station,
the College. of Agriculture and the
Board of Agriculture have all quit
the mailing of sick" bugs.
Any farmer can.produce his own
diseased or infected" chinch bugs
at home. Put live bugs in com.
mon glass fruit jar with plenty of
damp dirt and green wheat, and if
kept in a dark spot for six to
twelve days the bugs las a rule)
show disease and changing of col,
or. Some good farmers feel that
they have gotten profitable re
suits. Try the plan if you like,
but the agricultural authorities
have discarded it as an imprac-
tical popgun for fighting the big
gest bug army in the world of
work.
