to the stage it had reached before the war" This remarkable statement lately made by one of the most learned in England a correspondent of the New York Evening Post The Englishman thought that the wars effect civilization would be serious largely because of the setback it would give to education. He said that schools would have to economize. that schoolmasters would have to teach larger predicted soldiers who return to civil occupations would lose their initiative through habitual submission to orders.
 The Englshman cited makes a specially of the philosophy of mathematics There is more difficult field of study. But it is possible that a mind able observe and explore such lofty realms of thought may go astray in considering sociological matters. There are few students of contemporary civilization who believe that the world will be long in recovering from it's wound Probably the terrible loss of vigorous manhood will brake indus trial development. But it is well to remember that war does consist entirely of the slaughter of young and the destruction of buildings and forests.
 Consider for instance, the case of England Be- fore the war the civilization of that country bound up in traditions and social castes The school system poor. An ultra conservative government rather impeded than helped the social state of the people Now the whole nation is a closely organized unit. More than two million people engaged in the manufacture of munitions. Thousands of pro fessional men to in the munitions factories one or two days a to relieve the regular workers. The masses raised from a sort of shftless fatalism to patriotic energy The government instead of being w-moving and indifferent is alert and determined. Similar conditions prevail in nearly all of the bel lgerent countries
 The thorough awakening of government and people will in a measure counteract the wars devas taton of commerce and industry. Thousands of promising young have been killed. but those who left win be nfamed action by the great oppor tunties before them. Thousands of buildings have been razed but the work of reconstruction will keep busy the workers and factories until the machinery of commerce is again in motion
 The suffering caused by the is prodigious and unthnkable But the stricken nations going to be prostrated. They will be busy mourn. Time is an astounding healer.

THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT

 OVER THE W ]. ASSOCIATION

There is a psychological advantage in the irrigation district system that may not at first be thought of That lies in the fact that the strength of tie government of 1t is recognized just as residents of a school district recognize the authority of the trustees the people of a city recognize the authority of the municipal govern ment whereas in an association that exists only by agreement there is no recognition of authority and obstacles are presented by members of the as sociation that would not be offered hy those living under a government. People get used to doing certain things without grumbling under certain cir cumstances when other less binding circumstances there would be objec- ton, quihbling and delay.
 The district plan is extending con stantly. It generally prevails through out California and the northwest Great interest is being manifested n it nm Ter nearly all the reclamation proiect7 though there is yet apathy concerning t in the salt River and Poiee projects.

A WORD TO CANDIDATES

Let candidates hollow and shout themselves hoarse And demagogues hypnotize victims perforce At the end of the when the votes are all cast And the shouting is over and past It matters not who minority, All bow to the ruling majority. It is hard task at this stage of the game To tell politicians a-thirsting fame That all their self boosting and quafedness Which in movies and papers they try to express May land thenI alas, with the minority Instead of the hoped-for majority. The writer. woman admits with some shame The tricks and foul play in this "politix game l. is sometimes gamble and frequently takes Both good name and honor to make winning stakes. Then sadly the helpless minority Submits to the will of the majority. To thoughtful observers who follow the game And have their notions of praise and of blame It would sometimes appear to be mere by play To gain public office for selfish display And then the discouraged minority Still bows to the will of the majority. For ways that are subtle and catchy and sleek, The shrewd politician is clever and quick His ads" will outclass those of good laundry soaps Canned goods and the latest in rolled wheat oats And then the out-witted minority
 Must stick the hood -winled ma jorty Imagine George Washington. noble and grand, Go begging for votes all the land
 While Martha street-car, in shop or store Distributes his photos and bOost-cards galore They would rather belong the PASSE minority Than to such an undgnified BLASE majority. But this ls no tearfu sad song
 Of country and "potx" all gone wrong
 Trust the plain. honest people who yet holding
 sway

 Where the truly progressive minority

TEARS, IDLE TEARS

Tears. idle tears I know not what they mean. Tears from the depth of some divine despair Rise in the heart and gather to the eyes. In looking the happy autumn fields, And thinking of the days that are no more. Fresh the first beam gttering a sail. That brings friends up from the underworld Sad the last which reddens That sinks with all we love below the verg; So sad, fresh, the days that are more. An, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns The earliest pipe of half awakened birds To dying ears. when onto dying eyes The easement slowly grows a gmmering square; So sad. strange, the days that are more. Dear remembered kisses after death. And sweet those by hopeless fancy feigned On lips that for others; deep love, Deep first love, and wild with all regret; O. death in life the days that more.
 -Tennyson.

GERMAN CRISIS AIDS
PREPAREDNESS HERE
Danger Of War Creates Inter-
est In Our Army ana Navy.

The war abroad, the submarine is
sues and the ever present possibility
that the United states may be drawn
into the European conflict have awak-
ened in congress and in Americans i'll
general an acute interest in national
preparedness. The conflict has tended
to show that in many respects this
country is far behind in many of the
military branches.
AS result many citizens who be-
fore the outbreak of the European war
thought little of military preparation
have become much interested. There
were several successful camps held in
different sections Of the country last
year, and those men who took part in
the drills received military instruction
from the regular army officers and in
q short time fitted themselves to serve
In the army in case of an emergency.
This year the camps will be more
numerous than last. There will be
more interest, and it is expected that
twice as many citizens will avail them
selves of these opportunities to secure
proper military training and at the
same time have what might be termed
q vacation.
Aside from the military camps, Sec
rotary Daniels plans to train at least
10000 citizens as to the duties of a
sailor. The battleships of both the At
lantic and Pacific fleets will be used as
training stations, and the cruises will
take the men far out into the ocean.
where they will be taught in the most
practical manner just what is expect
ed Of an American sailor in case of
war. These men are to be kept on a
reserve list and i'm case Of hOStilities
can be called upon to join the navy.
These are not the only two branches
Of the service that have been improv-
ed and will he further strengthened as
the direct result of the war in Europe.
1t has been shown that this country
possesses too few aerOplanes for a
campaign conducted on large scale.
Larger appropriations have been made
by congress, and this branch of our
military service is now undergoing a
transformation that will make it formi-
dable when all the improvements have
been added.
