Whether President Wilson wins or
loses, Illinois doesn't depend upon
Gov. Dunno, Senator Lewis, Carter
Harrison or Roger Sullivan. 1t
doesn't depend upon any one of
them or upon all of them put. to-
gether. 1t doesn't depend upon any
Democratic organization or machine,
or upon the Democratic party itself
It depends upon the rank and file of
the people of Illinois, without regard
to whether they happen to be called
Democrats or Republicans. It de-
ponds little, if at all, upon what the
people find in either of the old party
platforms, but more upon the respeC-
tive merits of Wilson and Hughes as
MEN. Neither of the four Democrats
mentioned controls enough votes to
influence the result one way or an
other. None of them can lead any
considerable number Of voters any
where they don't want to go. Even
if they could there is no question
about where any one of them will
go. All of them will be regular Dem
ocrats, of course. Sullivan may be
sore at Wilson, but that makes no
difference. To hold his job as Dem
ocratic boss he has to be regular. To
do him justice, he probably has no
thought of being anything else. ALI
the talk about a scrap between these
rivals for leadership is in the Repub-
lican newspapers. And it isn't a
matter of much consequence nation

IT WOULD BE GREAT-The
Hamburg-American steamship line
has issued circulars announcing that
its twenty-one ships under construc-
ton are nearing completion and add
ig that prospects for an early and
honorable peace and the resumption
Of commerce under the German flag
are singularly bright"
The neutrality-suspicious. people
may be unduly optimistic, but it is
optimism of the brand which makes
the wheels of commerce go round.
Also, it fills our hearts with a strange
sense : Of gladness, which brings
home the realization Of how sick we
are of war and it's daily need of hor-
rors.
How good it would be to see Eu-
rope all serene once more, to feel the
spirit Of peace on earth, good will to
man prevail again; to see the ships
of peace, not war, ploughing the wa
tiers from east to west and west to
east; to see the sorrowing women Of
the old world smiling and happy; the
children at play; to hear the hum of
the factories turning out tools and
materials for the reconstruction Of
that unhappy land, instead of imple-
ments for it's destruction; to see the
brawny soldiers, of~a1 warning ma
tions, back at work in the fields and
in the factories, while the sick and
the manned sit in the shade and rest.
That's the picture the Hamburg
American optimism paints for us.
What matters it what flag floats
above the vessels of good cheer?

The Philathea girls were very

short study hour the business
meeting was held. Orders we're

was not very highly accomplished

raised by some envious neighbor.
The article was finally sold only

Another very interesting game

70 LECTURE HERE.

On Easter Sunday, April 80,
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, presi-
dent of the international Suffrage
alliance and of the American Suf-
frage alliance, will speak in Mis-
souri, Valley at 3 O'Clock in the
Christian church.
Missouri Valley may we'll feel
honored that Mrs. Gait has de-
cided to give this city day dur
ing her campaign in Iowa. Mrs.
Phillip Snowden, wife of mem
Der of the British parliament, has
called Mrs. Gait the first and
greatest woman of the English
speaking world. Twenty-one or
ganized nations have chosen her
as president of their interna-
tional suffrage organizations. She
has spoken and fought in the suf-
frage cause in all but two states
of the union and lectured in Eng
land, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Holland, Saxony, Bohemia, Prus-
STA and Hungary. Monarchs have
delighted to honor her and the
cause she represents, and it is
safe to say no queen of the old
world has as much influence over
womankind as has this modest,
strong, splendid daughter Of
Iowa.
Missouri Valley was we'll rep
resented in the Council Bluffs
auditorium Sunday evening when
Mrs. Gait addressed an audience
of 1000 from southwestern Iowa.
They were unanimous in their eX-
pressions of admiration for her
power as speaker, her charm of
manner and the logic and intel
ligence Of her arguments. She
has q deep, full voice that carried
easily to every part Of the great

full all afternoon and at supper
time the men began coming un-

was an unusual crowd at one Of
these meetings and the host and
hostess were at a loss to under
stand it until some one explained
that it was their annivers-
airy and the guests were there to
help them properly celebrate the
event. An informal evening was
spent, which was enjoyed by all.
Last Sunday the Christian
church issued a call to Evange-
lists R. F. Winston and wife of
Lincoln, Neb., to hold an evange-
listic meeting here during Sep
TENDER, 1915. The Whistons are
both university graduates and
been in the evangelistic field for
about fifteen years. They are
both splendid musicions and have
assisted the present pastor twice
before and so he knows that they

Believes that this System, II
Adopted BY the United States,
Would Constitute q Guard
Against the Use Of American
Military for or by Any Priv
llss6d GLASS, Either at Home or
Abroad - Tradition Against
Great Standing Army.
(From the Spokane Spokesman
Review.)
The American Federation of
Labor, in thirty-fifth annual
convention at San Francisco,
adopted resolutions on national
defense that are fundamently
sound.
I'VE express our belief" de-
clares the federation, in the
need of a small standing army to
be supplemented by a citizen SOL
diery, democratically organized
and controlled, so as to prevent
either the small standing army
or the larger supplements and its
units to be used for or by any
special privileged class, either at
home or abroad"
The federation resolutions go
to the historic heart of the mat
ter in saying that "our American
traditions are wholesomely pos
tive against the maintenance OF
a large standing army" Over
and over again in their message
to congress the principle OF a
national defense founded on a
citizen soldiery was emphasized
by Washington, Adams, Madison
jackson, Lincoln and all the other
presidents. Those labor men who
drafter the San Francisco reso-
buttons have read Alright the his
tory of their country.
The country must be defended
in the final analysis by a citizen
soldiery, and it should be demo-
cratically organized and con-
trolled.
What is the definition of the
word "democracy?" Simply pop
ular rule. A government that
authorizes a small minority of its
citizens to do the voting for the
masses of its people is not a de-
mocracy. A national defense
system which requires small
volunteer minority to perform
the defense work and do the
lighting for a favored and shirk-
ing majority is not "democratical-
ly organized"
A system of universal and
compulsory service, like the
Swiss plan, is thoroughly demo-
critic. In Switzerland the pco-
pie are the government and the
people are the army. There is
equal opportunity for all and spe-
cial privilege for none. The sons
of rich and well-to-do families
The yare not allowed to shirk in
ease while the sons of less ia
vored families march to the from
tiers to guard their country
against invasion.
The Swiss system is just and
makes a virile and resolute ma
ton. 1t is an effective antidote
to the German system of militar-
istic caste. Once adopted in the
United States we should be prac-
tically immune from invasion.
The mere knowledge that there
are several million able-bodied
young men who had been trained
to march and vancouver, TO
shoot straight and unafraid,
would be a powerful and effective
deterrent on the ambitions of en-
pire seeking governments every
where.
Under that system class dis
tinctions are reduced to the min
imum. 1t is impossible for the
army to "be used for or by any
special privileged class" The
country's wageworkers ought to
be enthusiastically for it.
