THE VALUE OF UNDERSTl TlNDING.

Solomon makes pronounced diff
ference between knowledge and un-
dcrstanding. and we are all agreed
that solomon was n wonderfully wise
man. There are plentiful sources of
knowledge in the world, and the man
who is not informed is, except in
very rare instances, ignorant by
choice. We have schools aplenty
and various other agencies which
seek to impart knowledge to those
who wish for 1t. Even the un-
schoolcd man, II he has an ordi-
narily good intellect and is sharp and
observing, cannot fall far behind the
procession in the accumulation Of
knowledge There are men who
have never gone to school. but who
have trained their eyes and ears to
do fun duty as they passed to and
fro among their fellow beings. who
have been able to make of them
selves something more than Just an
ordinary human being. and have
sometimes made bigger mark in
the world than others who had
greater advantages. A man cannot
live among other men in this day
and time without accumulating n
considerable stock of knowledge, un-
less he is mentally deficient. But
the most of us are surrounded from
our youth up with inducements and
opportunities to increase our stock
of knowledge. But all the knowl-
edge we can get does not insure the
getting of understanding.
Understanding is not gift. nor is
II something that we can obtain by
the payment OF tuition. Men of
great learning are often deficient in
wisdom. This is quality that
comes through cultivation of the
mental processes of the man himself.
He may obtain the best OF advice.
but that does not make him wise,
Every man must achieve wisdom for
himself. No man is going to bestow

ANOTHER WAR LESSON.

There have been many useful les
sons impressed upon the American
people by the struggle that is going
on across the sea. First and fore
most we are taught that. so FAR from
preparedness bringing ON war it is
the inequality OF preparedness that
has induced the better prepared ma
tons to try conclusions with those
who were less prepared. England
has shown us what can happen to a
great nation that has slept on its
precautions and has had to fight n
losing battle against n power that
had long been getting ready for the
fray Had England been as well pre-
pared as Germany, this war would
have been over long ago. If indeed
1t had ever started But the num-
army is not the sum total OF pre-
paredncss. England has suffered
more from industrial unreadincss
than she has for the actual number
OF ships, Not only has il been nee
dustrial fabric Of the empire. hut
the process has been fruitful OF
strikes and internal dissension that
threatened to be more fatal to her

WHAT Is MlLITAIISM?

We have heard of great deal
from the opponents Of preparedness
about the danger of militarism, and
that it was better for us to remain
an unprotected nation than to run
the risk Of being prussanzed. We
have been warned that the military
idea might become dominant in our
thoughts and policies, and that n
strong army would be Il standing
menace To individual liberty. We
are referred 10 instances in history
where "A people has been overawed
/ by "A strong military arm in the
hands of n designing commander and
their liberties crushed out 10y mil
itary force
The great fallacy of this argument
is that "A strong army and navy as
strong as the nation needs for de-
fcnsc against its enemies. is not a
menace 10 the people nor is 1t a
controlling power in opposition to
the popular viii Armies are made
up of the citizens. and whatever tho
aims and aspirations Of its citizens,
these will be reflected in its army.
An army made up of our own broth
crs and sons and OF our ncighbor'a
brothers and sons would never be "A
menace to us. An army Of men
] hrnupht nm IN VaIup thp uriNilprps of
democracy would never become the
instrument for oppressition upon its
own fellow citizens. \ people imbued
with democratic ideas would not sub
NIT To military domination and they
could not be made to do so. When
ever in history tyrant has sought
TO crush the aspirations of his peo-
pie. he has done so through the
medium OF hired alien army.
Prussian militarism, which haa
been blamed for the present iblo
condition in Europe was not a thinG
created by the army. The people
wcro taught and strongly imbued
with militaristic ideas and through
them the army became "A militeristic
tool for the attempted realization of
their agc-old dream Of conquest 1t
was the people that made the Ger
man empire miitaristc through all
its ideas and activities, and the milit-
arism Of Prussia would not last six
months If the people did not loyalty
cling to the teachings Of generations
of ambitious autocrats. Let the pco-
plo Of Germany cease to cling to
/ with democratic tendencies and we
would hear no more OF German mill
/ itarism, even If they maintained the
/ largest army and navy on earth
France is well supplied with soldiers,
and they are loyalty upheld by tho
people, but Franco is democratic and
the army is only "A part of the French
citizenship. The biggest army that
| the United States may ever have will
be democratic institution. recruited
from the ranks of libcrty-loving
people. and 1t could never become a
menace to our institutions until the
people become SO unmindful of their
liberties as to forget the principles
upon which our government was
founded.

\ WORLD COURT.

Mr.. Taft is credited with the as
sertion that the world will never see
the end of war until world court is
established. Now we have the great
est respect for the eX-presidents wis
dom and perspicuity. but we submit
that the bare assertion of the effic-
acy of world court to put a stop
to war and teach the nations peace
needs some qualification. The mere
idea of securing international peace
and harmony by the influence of a
judicial decision rs not only imprac-
tlcable, but it sounds very much like
the rawlings of that class of pacifists
who hold that moral influence is
strong enough to cope with the ar
rogance of militarism, a contention
which every man in his right mind
is compelled to reject 1t takes
something more than judicial edicts
and sentimental gush to induce the
nations of the earth to sheath the
sword. MIR. Taft, though, belongs to
the league to enforce peace" and
the title of this society gives the key
to The rational idea of carrying out
its proposals. Some day, we are con-
strained to believe, all humanity will
be in the notion to beat their swords
into plowshares, but before that time
comes there will have to be a Won
derful revolution in human ideas of
universal brotherhood and general
disposition to regard the rights of
missing in present-day dealings be-
tween man and man and between ma
ton and nation--a process which will
doubtless require centuries to de-
velop. Just now. as in all ages past
and for n long time to come peace
is only respected when it is backed
up by arms, and war is only avoided
when you think the other fellow is
the better prepared. 1t sounds
anomalous to say that we must fight
in order to have peace, but that is
just the truth of the matter after
all sentimental sophistry is laid
aside. We may not have to fight for
peace, but unless we are willing and
able to fight we have no assurance
that our desire for peace will be re-
spccted. The greatest safeguard
against war is to be so well prepared
that the other fellow will deem II
dangerous to break our peace A
world court is a good thing, but un-
less there is force behind it to COM
pei obedience to its decisions 1t can
be nothing else but n useless farce.

So far as actual attainments of cul-

| upon him an understanding mind,
another. Much knowledge is a help
to wisdom, but it is not wisdom
Much absorption OF the wisdom of
others may point out the way to
you. but it cannot make you wise.
You must cultivate understanding
for yourself, for all the wisdom and
the knowledge others can offer you
are but the materials out of which
you may build your house of Wis
dom, or you may remain simply a
walking encyclopedia of valuable in
formation and of wise sayings that
are as lumber in your mental attic,
because you do not know how to
turn them to beneficial use. But in
as far as you practice the habit of
making these things apply to what
you see and hear from day to day,
as far as you persist in analyzing
the thoughts and action Of your
bNH toIISclbuSntSS ana Apply your
knowledge of wisdom to the things
that are taking place about YOU, as
far as you seek to get down to the
bottom Of the motives and intents
that rule the actions OF men-so far
are you progressing on the road to
understanding.
Before you become an apt scholar
in this school you must learn to
subordinate yourself, your interests
your opinions, your ambitions, to tnc
realization that there is something
greater and higher in the lives of
men than personal qualification. Men
are not moved altogether by the
baser passions. You must not be
hasty in judgment or prone to jump
at conclusions. Other men are built
out of the same clay as yourself. and
other men have ambitions and as
pirations just as high and just as
low as those which move you. Men
do not differ greatly in their esti-
mates of fundamental truths, but
they look at the truth from differ
ing viewpoints. Birth, education and
environment all help to give each
man different twist of mind from
his fellows. Most of the disputes,
the wars, the heartburnings, dissen-
sions among men come not from
antagonizing views of truth but be-
cause they have "A different realiza-
ton of the same truth. Get a bunch
of men into a heated argument, and
the thoughtful listener will find that
most of their differences are not cs-
sential-they all believe in the same
things, but the same truth looks diff
fcrent to each one according to the
bent of his habit of thought The
man with understanding is he who
does not fail into such disputes but
is able to hold an even balance and
to appreciate the good there is in
each contention and the error of
each conception. If people could
only get understanding as easily as
they get knowledge there would be
few quarres in this world. Dissen-
sion feeds only on lack of under
misunderstanding

as a measure of national safety, but
as "A matter of economy in men and

government has had to face, and the

This is not to be accomplished by
crushing the protests of labor. nor
by systematically cutting down the
efficiency of capital. But some way
must be found to make both capital
and labor subordinate their selfish
contentious to the general good of
the whole people and learn to work
in harmony for the upbuilding of
