THE NORMAL WEARS OUT.

Pres. BENZ. Ide Wheeler declares
that we are deluded in looking upon
peace as the normal status of human
affairs Man." he says, "is by an
thropology and zoology a homicidal
mammal. The normal status of hui
man affairs involves competition,
strife"
Of course, Mr.. Wheeler is right.
And it is a good thing that he is so.
Certain as fine collegians and philos-
ophers as Mr.. Wheeler have declared
all life to be a. contention of forces,
and it is not to be disputed that, one
time, mans status was either that of
a black sinner and barbarian or that
Of spineless pollywog. Man is what
he is because he has everlastingly
bucked against the normal.
II war. not peace, is the normal
status of human affairs. blessed be
the light given us by which to combat
that normal, as we thought ourselves
out of that barbarism, or wriggled
ourselves out of that mud puddle!
Let us not delude ourselves. War,
not peace, is the normal status Of
human affairs. Let us look this
squarely in the face, recognize it and
deal with it as man has dealt with
the normal status from the start.
We have only to agree that war, as a
normal status, is waste, folly, barbar-
ism. The pollywog, back in his pud-
die at the beginning Of man, wouldn't
submit to such status, and acquired
a backbone, legs and other progress
sive attributes because he wouldn't.
Human wisdom of our century should
not hesitate about breaking up nor

WITH PORTUGAL IN IT.

Portugal is all primed for war, say
the latest European dispatches, and
ready to fight side by side with the
Allies.
At the beginning of the war, when
all the major combatants were pour
ing millions Of men into the field,
with still more millions in reserve,
Portugal's action was of little rela.
tive importance. But it is quite diff.
ferent now. The best of the fighting
men on both sides have fallen.
France, Germany and Austria have
about used up their veteran reserves
and the war is being carried on, prin-
cipally, by old men and schoolboys.
Portugal can muster close to 3OO,-
900 trained soldiers with an morgan
lied reserve of nearly million,
which has probably been whipped in
to state of greater or lesser eff
cheney. The Allies can provide them
abundantly with arms. An army of
a million fresh soldiers may turn the
tide; it may prove the last straw to
break already over-burdened backs
Actual participation by Portugal is
not to be treated too lightly.

A seven-hour speech by Senator La
Toilette against the measure and a
clash between Senators Reed and Oil
yer over the proposal to print as a
public document the Bethlehem's ar
gument against a government armor-
plate plant delayed the final vote.
The Bethlehem's arguments were or
dered printed by unanimous consent.
On his return he vainly. sought re-
consideration, charging that Senator
Oliver, as an owner Of steel stock,
had voted money into his own pocket
by supporting the proposal. y
Senators Tillman, Swanson and

the bill. The house conferees will be
chosen Tuesday, and daily sessions

the Northwestern university student

that weed crop to harvest. you will
have to hurry. Weed seed is getting
nearer ripe every day. The hot dry
weather has hurried ripening instead
of belating it. Bur pulling time is
coming and the horse weeds in the
