Sane Summer Suggested

Now that the Fourth has gone by
with its indubitable proofs OF the
advantages OF caution and common
sense. why not carry the sane idea
on throughout the entire summer
season? Why not make it. in brief,
sane summer
Every summer has it's lists OF &C
cidents and even fatalities By sea
and shore, just as the Fourth OF
July has. Many OF them-perhaps
most OF them-are OF preventable
nature. Untried swimmers venture
out too far. boats are not handled
as carefully as they should be, ca.
noes are taken too far from shore
By inexperienced persons, and dis.
aster often results.
Everyone who goes or stays on
vacation should make up his or
her mind 10 omit no reasonable pre-
caution 70 make the summer OF
1915 the sanest on record-Chicago

tyrannieal or prejudiced he may be.
They must realize that America has be-
come what IL Is, along the line Of prog
ress, from the recognition of the inalisr-
able rights of the INDIVIDUAL, and that
1t Is the only country which has started
on that basis.
That militarism is in direct opposition
to this and would undermine our most
cherished principles that it completely

It takes the prize fight for that, and

We hope very much. that the teachers

What man or woman. grown to middle

Who has not had his fingers burned

Who has not learned the beauty and

love of some one dearer than life!
Who has not gained courage and stead,
fastness through hardshlps endured
while laboring for his bread?
We need no military training to bring
out these things.
1t is a stupid way to attempt it.
We would rob a man of all freedom in
order to teach him to be useful, "capi-
talized" citizen, whereas we declare that
in order to be of any use to the country
we must be free and equal.
1t is slave morality.
1t is the very thing America first re-
pudiated. and Americans who subscribe

Here's a Sensation from
the Border That Many a
Fellow Would Be Part Of

We wish to gently point out-with all
due regard for the admitted yearning of
the American public for sensation and
it, chronic prediction for heroics-that
the estimable newspaper correspondents
down Ell Paso way are serving it up in
overdoses.
For instance, captain of militia sends
IN account of the arrival of his COM
mand at the border under the lurid
heading:
"CSptain's diary tells of conditions far
worse than pictured in widest dreams"
Attentively scanning said diary, which
covers the period of one day-the first
1--we find that the principal entries are
. follows:
l:l6 q. m, brealfast-Oranges, hard
boiled eggs, corned-beef hash, bread, jam,
xresh butter, coffee.
IL, dinner-Beef stew, stewed toma-
toes, freshly baked bread, jam and cof-
fee.
IL to p. m.-Rest. Gel Paso's siesta
period).
6, supper-Roast beef, boiled potatoes,
stewed tomatoes, bread, butter, coffee.
Now, we don't doubt but the conditions
n the National Guard along the border
are, to say the least, uncomfortable.
We have heard of that Ell Paso coun-
4 txy, and it's no land Of milk and honey.
And we have presentiment. or
hunch, to be strictly Ell Paso-esque, that
\ before our citizen-soldiers get home they
WIN meet with hardships which will make
= pillow Of cactus as welcome as the
flowers that bloom in the spring.
But If the conditions, as set forth in
the aforesaid diary, are "far worse than
pictured in the widest dreams" of the
militia boys, then they must be having
the rosiest of pipe dreams and should be
awakened as gently and as expeditiously
- possible, for their own good.
A little Of the yellow stuff tints the war
tales most attractively; too much, not
only scares the folks back home into con-
niption fits, but has bad psychological
effect on the young soldiers.
Lets save some of our molly -coddling
for the real hard times.
And we close this friendly Gliding with
the remark that the worst hardships of
the soldier boys aren't marker to the
woes of the correspondent who doesn't
send in this same sensation stuff, at that.
