1T Is MODERN Wharf.-The allies

The babies must starve. Grown-ups
might get the Red Cross milk, and,
anyway, the babies would become
soldiers, some day.
The aged, the blind, the crippled,
the women must die. They may take
some little part in making enemy war

hell away from us! :.
THE PACIFIST
BY John Kendrick Bangs in New
York Times
The pacif1st would raise no beans,
Or other garden fruits,
Because he'd learned from maya
zines
They sprouted little SHOOTS.
He'd have no grass upon his place
Because it reached his ears
That grass first showed its verdant
face
In countless little SPEARS.
And flowers, too, the man eschewed,
1t seemed so very sad
That every bud and blossom rude
A hidden PISTIL had.
AS far as his religion went,
He left it in the lurch,
Lest from his peaee-views he be bent
By CANYONS of the church.
For pigs he left his fellow-man,
Though mankind he adored,
For some one told him that the PEN
Was mightier than the SWORD.
His daily tasks he ne'er began,
Thus leaving all undone,
Because beginning them, poor man,
He feared they'd be BEGUN.
On living high the man was bound,
Though every bill a wrench meant,
Because all through his life he found
A TRENCH in each retrenchment
And saddest part of all, poor chap,
Despite their wondrous charms,
He pushed his babies off his lap
Because they were IN ARMS

liberal education in music it is also a
superb vocal lesson by a master; but
most of all it is musically charming,

Perhaps it is his American nativity
and continental genealogy that makes
him such an emigrant in song. for
wherever he finds himself whether in
classic French, British fields of folk
lore, modern German or Russian of
Castifan, or Mexican, it is as though
he had just come home In each he is
specialist, and to my ears is, or was
yesterday, at his serenist and finest in
Brahms "In Summer Fields" and in
DIndy's deeply spiritual "Lied Mari

song.

POINTS OUT CAUSES
Of NATIONAL DECAY
Judge Alden Has Sharp
Tongue and Is Consider
ably of a ScOld

Dishonesty in commercial life, rot
tenness in politics, unhappiness in do
nestle relations, and indifference to
religion, evils of the present age, came
under the keen intellectual scalpel of
Judge Alden, famous lecturer, humor-
ist,reformer, and jurist, VINO spoke last
night at the armory as the third num-
Der in the Salem fyceum course, and
the root and cause of the evils laid
bare to the public gaze. With keen
blrbs Of humor, he opened the way to
the hearts of the audience, and then
drove home the steel of his argument,
the burden of which was that individ-
uals are shirking their responsibilities
to their fellow men, that petty thiev-
cry is practised and graft denounced
by the thievers, that growing indif-
ference toward religion is at the base
of all evils, social and political.
He defended the grafter-told why
the CRATER is here, and plainly said
that the man who would cheat in the
small deals of life WAS the founda-
tion upon which the greater graft was
based. He declared that back of all
this materlalism, this worship of the
golden calf, was the indifference to-
ward the teachings of Christ, and said
that history SHOWS that every nation
in the past that turned from God to
Gold has gone down to ignominious de-
feat.
Talks About Honesty.
In the ordinary walks OF life, he av-
erred that to have friends, a man must
be L friend. He pointed out that men
will fall upon the neck of one who
praised him but walk on ais neck if he
critcizes or snows up petty foibles and
weaknesses. In this regard, he told
how the writing and singing in an
amateur minstrel show of fourteen
verses of biting sarcasm turned his ca
reer from a writer of poetry to that of
l reformer. The sarcasm was barbed
with wit and found its mark so, in
his lecture, he illuminated mis- points
with brilliant shafts of wit and clever
turns of phrase, and the audience
laughed at the jokes and writhed at
the bite.
He showed the Inconsistency of the
man who sits by the stove in the corn
err grocery and walls and howls about
the grafters in the state and nation
and then goes home and mixes the
product of the COW with the product of
the pump, and still thinks he is hon
est. He declared men should cease to
east critical eyes on the horizon for
the sins of Others but should turn the
eye inwardly, for the reformation OF
the state and nation Begins with the
individual.
Too Many Churches.
And as it was thus in commercial
and political life, so it is in domestic
and religious life, he averred. II was
his opinion that lack of self.respect
was the cause of the moral turpitude
