Another friend Of Colonel Roosevelt
when asked about the report, said:
"If it is Colonel Roosevelt's ambition
to be elected President so that he
would occupy a niche in the temple Of
fame as the worlds greatest pence
maker. the chances are that he would
succeed. His success in bringing peace
between Russia and Japan has endeared
him to those two countries, while his
acquaintance with the heads Of the
other countries at war would be big
asset. They have respect for him as a
fighter. for his record shows that he
is not too proud to fight, just as his
record shows that he would not wan
tonly thrust the nation into war"
After more talk of the same sort. this
man added: And don't forget that the
only American recognized in an in
tcrnational manner as an advocate Of
peace is Colonel Roosevelt. who was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize"

to the worthiness Of the cause of war.
Again consider the expense Of war
with the commercial value of any adj
vantage gained by war. Any ideal
or principle enforced by war is en-
forced only in letter not in spirit.
But victory for one side and peace
between the countries do not settle
the question for there Is more hatred
between the countries. at the end of
the war than at the beginning. One
side would hate the other side for
what they have suffered while the 9TH
er side would have an equal hate.
Hate given means hate returned. Any
advantage gained will be the start for
another quarrel. Napoleon himself
acknowledged that nothing durable
can be accomplished by war. He fell
from the position of conqueror of Eu-
rope to an exile at st. Helena. Caesar,
the warrior, fell beneath the assassins'
daggers. If nothing permanent can
be accomplished by war, what is the
use Of war? Only loss of life and
property is incurred. Debts are heap
ed for which peace must pay the price.
To, illustrate my point ] shall tell
the story Of two knights. A knight
was riding along the road when he
saw shield which was made Of gold.
A second knight saw the other side Of

When the knights met, they fell into

other claimed it was made of silver.
During their discussion they nearly
came to blows. Finally they decided
to go back and look at the shield a
second time. They found they were
both right and that they were both
wrong for the shield was silver on one
side and gold upon the other. Thus

The following essay on WAR; was
given by Edward Johnson recently in
the second English class:
One of the most lamentable things
which ever befalls this world is war.
Today have just received a letter
from Captain Sentry in which he re-
joices concerning a recent victory of
his old regiment. He spoke as If
bloodshed and slaughter were a plea
sure and the larger the number of
the enemy killed, the better.
Race hatred is the cause of most
wars. Sometimes wars are begun
upon a more trivial cause, which
could easily be settled by little re-
assuring and mutual agreement by
both parties. Even II the question
could not be settled in this way. let
the people think of the great loss of
life and money which must be sacri-
feed in an event of war. A great

peace comes. How much is a life
worth? Compare the worth Of life

Much interest has been shown in
the normal work in the past month.
Although few visited the normal
room during the Visitors week, yet
we appreciate the interest shown by
the mothers who did. We trust our
rural friends will feel free to visit
this institution which exists solely
for the benefit Of the schools Of this
county.
During the past few days our at
tention has been called briefly to
Thanksgiving. The various rooms
of the Central building have been de-
corated with borders for this parti-
cular month by the normal girls.
Each work tells US that Thanksgiv-
ing is drawing near.
During the third week of Novem-
Der, it was very interesting to watch
the children gather around the nor
NAL room during noon and morning
hours. What was the cause of all
this Why the normal girls had a
candy sale. The sale proved SO good,
that the pupils, / may say, also some
of the teachers will be frequent Wis
,itors to this room. We took in SO. O3.
At the present time, the girls are
testing their skill in arithmetic. Ev-
cry day two speed tests are given.
Results show that there is decided
