PEACE OR WAR

In declaring at Philadelphia that,
if elected President, he would not
tolerate interference with American
property, with American mails or
with legitimate commercial inter-
course" Candidate Hughes intended
one of two things.
Either, for campaign purposes
solely, he was putting in bold, un-
blushing bid for the disloyal pro-
German vote; or he was announcing
a policy which, if applied, would in
volve grave danger of war with Great
Britain and France. This last is true
because in many cases without ques-
tion the so-called interferences have
been within the legal rights of the
Allies and in other cases within what
are claimed to be their legal rights.
For instance, mails to Great Britain
when in American custody, unless
they be official" and SO stamped
with the seal of the British Govern

FUNSTON TELLS THE NECESSITY

The present campaign has brought
out much unmerited abuse of the
present administration for calling out
the national guard for border duty.
Mistakes were perhaps made in the
working of the war machinery last
summer, but the necessity for SOL
diers down on the border was fully
realized by General Funston, COM
manding the Southern Department.
The following dispatch, under a San
Antonio date line, appeared in last
Sundays Kansas City Star, which ex-
plains few things. 1t should be
given due consideration by members
of the other political parties, as Gen
eral Funston is a life-lopgs Republi-
can and could hardly be accused of
mixing, political medicine into the
speech:
when you men of the national
guard were called out, of course you
expected to go slap bang across the
border, and let me assure you that
when history is written it will show
that the calling out of the guard in
June was no child's play-that 1T was
a question Of hours
Gen. Frederick Funston, command
ing the Southern Department, made
the foregoing declaration tonight at
a dinner given by the Third and
Fourth Illinois Infantry.
1.-THE calling out of the national
guard was absolutely necessary, the
general continued. "All of you will
know why some day. And l do not
think there has been any time since
when it would have been safe to re-
duce the number of men on the bor-
der"
The general said that he did not
speak simply to the soldiers present,
but to all the members of the guard,
and requested his hearers to tell their
companions that they held his fullest
confidence.
The general further said:
II feel that the men of the nation
al guard largely have been imposed
upon by the peaceful nature of the
duties which have fallen to their lot,
but you have been equipped and
toughened, and have not the slight
est doubt, If the necessity arises for
you to cross the border, that the ma
tional guard regiments who have
been here three or four months can
deliver the goods and do it in fine
shape"

AMERICANS MAKE DYEsTuFFs

American manufacturers are now
making three-fourths of the $4,000
tons of dyestuffs which were con-
sumed annually in this country until
the war began in Europe. DR.. Thorn
as Norton, dye expert of the federal
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, revealed this fact at the
American Chemical society's confer
ence on dyestuffs. BY next summer
Doctor Norton predicted, the entire
amount will be produced in the Unit
ed States.
He aroused great interest by an
nouncing the government bureau has
prepared complete census of the
5,679 colors used here, with prices,
market conditions, and other inform
alton which will be available soon for
the manufacturers. Dye experts said
that the information, gathered pains
takingly by the federal investigators
of dye conditions throughout the
past year, will widen the scope of
dyemakers so much that all the coal
tar obtainable in this country will
be needed.

SETTING OUR FACES NATURE
WARD

The currents of civilization tend
always to take us out of our environ
ment rather than to fit us into it, We
must recast our habits of thought so
as to set our faces natureward. This
is far more important than any effort
at mere simplicity or toward looping
off the redundancies; it is funda-
mental direction and point of view.
The outlook to nature is the out
look to what is real, and hearty, and
spontaneous. Our eager civiliza-
ton prematurely makes us mentally
old. 1t may be true that the span
of mans life is increasing, but at
twenty we have the knowledge and
the perplexities that our grandfath-
ers had only at forty. Our children
may now be older when they are
! graduated from school, but the high
school course of today is more COM
pick than was the college course OF
fifty years ago. All this has ten
dency to lessen the years Of free and
joyous youth. You have only to see
the faces of boys and girls on your
city streets, to discover how old the
young have grown to be. In home
and school our methods have been
largely those of repression; this is
why the natural buoyant outbursts
that l saw on the city thoroughfare
challenged such instant attention and
surprise. We need to emphasize the
youthful life.
Therefore, preach the things that
we ourselves did not make; for we
are all idolaters,-the things Of our
hands we worship. preach the near
at-hand, however plain and ordinary,
the sky in rain and sun; the bird
on its nest and the nest on its Dough ;
the rough bark of trees; the frost on
bare thin twigs; the mouse skitter-
ing to its burrow; the insect seeking
! its crevice; the smell Of the ground ;
the sweet wind; the leaf that clings
to its twig or that falls when its work
( is done. Wisdom flows from these
as 1t can never flow from libraries
and laboratories.-L. H. Bailey.

WHERE DOLLAR GOES, BOY GOES

In one Kansas county, where an
official survey was made, calls were
made at the homes of 2,436 families,
664 families said they bought at
home, 628 families asked to be ex-
cused from answering questions. One
thousand one hundred and forty-four
families said they bought more or
less outside the state, and these fam
lilies very kindly gave the average
amount of their out-of-the-state pur-
chases. From each of s townships
there were statements showing out
of-the-state purchases running up to
$50 and 500 year. From each of
20 townships there were statements
showing out-of-the-state purchases
running up to $3.50 year, and, in
some instances, on up to $500 and
$500 year. 1t is conservatively es-
timated that this country alone Is
sending out of the state $4,000 a
year for goods which could be
bought at a fair price within its
borders-$5.38 for each man, wo-
man and child in the county-these
figures not including the amount
spent for drugs and medicines but
1,O81 families who said in their state
ments that they were patrons Of itin-
Grant medicine peddlers. This coun-
ty, which is mentioned because 1t is
one of the best counties of the state,
has ten fair-sized towns. Yet, during
the 12-month period preceding the
time when the out-of-the-state buying
test was made, eight of these ten
towns lost in population, the county
seat being one of the losing number.
These figures may bear no relation to
each other, but here is one fact the
Kansas community builder should not
overlook: Every dollar spent In a
business way helps business in some
body's town. Every dollar spent in a
business way helps somebody's town
to grow. And here is another fact to
be remembered: The boy follows the
dollar. The father buys in the city
to save money. The boy goes to the
city to make money. The community
loses the dollar-and 1t loses the boy.

ment, are not British but American
mails, and American mails are not
American mails when in the custody
of another Power, whether that
Power be belligerent or neutral. Ger
tainly, in the present desperate cris-
is, the Allies would not abandon their
rights in order to enable Hughes to
redeem his political promises to the
disloyal vote within the United
States.
So 1t stands as to Hughes and the
affairs Of the Allies. AS to Roose-
welt and Germany, his Battle Creek
speech frankly announced that, by
selling the informed German ships in
American ports, he would have COM
mitted an act of war against Ger
many had he been President. Hughes
Is running on platform, substanti-
ally, of war with the Allies, and
Roosevelt is running Hughes on a
platform, literally, of war with Ger
many.
Now as to Hughes and Roosevelt
and domestic affairs, both want a
reversal" of the Wilson politics.
That means, primarily, repeal of the
Adamson Eight-Hour law. Here
both are on platform which prac-
tically declares an industrial war
within the United States. Both also
seem to agree upon policy Of war
of subjugation in Mexico.
One after another, Republican,
Progressive and Independent lead
ers of national thought, commerce
and industry have come forward say
ing that nothing has been lost to
America by President Wilson's re-
fusal to be led into any one of the
above four possible wars which
would have been gained by war. The
President has stood for the exhaus-
ton of the processes of peace before
resorting to war-and the processes
of peace have proved adequate. We
have peace and we have honor and
we have the blessings of both. Look
the field over. You will not find the
charge that American honor has been
sacrificed emanating from any other
than a partisan source.

PLAYED In TRAGIC SCENE
Is Only Woman Survivor of Company
at Ford's in Our American
Cousin"

Montclair, N. j., Feb. 6.-The only sur.
viving woman member Of the company
that played "Our American Cousin In
Ford's Theater on the night that Abra'
ham Lincoln was assassinated. lives In
Montclair Mrs. Robert Struthers, whose
maiden name was Jennie Gourley, played
the part of Mary Meredith in the comedy
drama. She was reluctant yesterday tc
speak about her experiences in the Ford
Theater on the night that Lincoln was
shot down by John Wilkes Booth, but
she finally consented to relate what she
saw of the ira agedy.
Mrs. Struthers was a member of "OuI
American Cousin" company, of which
Laura Keene was the leading lady.
The only other members of the com
pany now alive are Harry Hawk, w. ]
Ferguson and z. A. Emerson. of Wash

elapsed since she last saw Mr.. Ferguson
Mrs. Struthers recognized him one even
ing recently when she saw him in a mo
ton picture drama at the Montclair
Theater.

On the night that Lincoln was assassi
mated Mrs. Struthers was one of fv'
members OF her family in the theater
She narrowly escaped injury at the hand
Of Booth as he fed, brandishing a knif
! at the audience after firing the shot tina
caused the death of the President.
Mrs. Struthers said she was personally
acquainted with Booth. She said he hat
many friends about the theater. Booth
according to Mrs. Struthers, was not at
tached to any company at the time.
When l came on the stage for tn,
scene" said Mrs. Struthers, 'T saw
Booth standing in the lobby. He hat
just entered the theater and stood witt
his hat in his hand. Asa Trenchart
and l brought our seats down to the
front of the stage. and Asa, as the part
required. asked permission to light a
cigar. When he struck the match he
took a paper from his pocket and ig'
nited It. The burned paper was a will
which bequeathed to him the property
that he regarded as rightfully belong
ing to Mary. At the close of the dia-
logue I saw that Booth had disappeared
from the lobby.
Barely Escaped Booths Knife.
'T had been talking only a moment
with William Withers jr.. the leader OF
the orchestra" Mrs. Struthers cOntin-
ued, when saw Booth come toward
us, waving a knife. The blade ap-
peared to be about foot long. Booth
dashed between US toward the rear en-
trance OF the building, thrusting me
aside with one hand and slashing at Mr..
Withers with the knife. The onslaught
was so sudden that we both thought the
man had gone mad. Then we heard the
report of the shot. The next moment
one of my brothers came running in from
the audience, crying that Booth had shot
Lincoln. There was great confusion. My
father being familiar with the passage
ways of the theater, escorted Miss Keene

Upon American Women.
GALL MEN RULE THEM"
Scores Laws for Allowing Aliens to
Help Govern American Women
After Coming Here.

There was never a political govern
ment that put such indignities upon its
women as the government Of the United
States" declared Miss Laura Clay, OF
Kentucky, in an address before a meet
ing of the Kate Gordon Chapter of the
Southern States Woman's Suffrage Con-
ference. at the New Ebbltt yesterday
afternoon.
The United States is just like Turkey,
she said. All men are rulers and the
women are subjects. She told the mem
bers that II women had the same self
respect as men. they would never allow
the word people" to be used IN the sin
gular, in reference to the Constitution
and the question of electing members of
Congress.
Miss Clay asserted that before there Is
a perpetual peace between nations, the
women OF the world must have a voice
in the councils of nations. As Congress
alone can make war. she said. the wom-
en- Of the United States should have a
voice in the election of their representa-
uYes.
She scored the laws Of the United
States, which permits a foreigner. I'm
mediateIy upon arriving in the United
States and II he is able to keep out Of the
"poorhouse," the right TO help rule
American women. We are not belltg-
erent for women suffrage she said "out
we are firm believers in the principles
Of our forefathers.'
Concluding, Miss Clay declared that
the time is not far of when the United
States will need the support and patriot
ism Of the womankind.
Nine Theumaian. wife OF a member OF
the Turkish Parliament, told the mem
bers that the right kind OF prepared
ness is the unity Of neutral nations
which, with their power. will insure
perpetual peace. The neutral nations are
powerful enough to stop the war. she
said. because they are on the side OF
right
Explaining her plan for bringing peace
10 Europe through neutral nations, she
said that II two OF the neutral nations
would sign a pace never to engage In
war. they could easily induce other neu-
trail nations to join them and. In the end.
the belrrerent nations would Of ne
cessity sign the peace pact.
