War Scare Held Political Move.


Mr.. Capers attacked particularly the
so-called eight-hour law. passed under
whip and spur by the democratic Con-
gress at the close of the last session;
the foreign policy of the Wilson ad-
ministration and the Underwood tariff
, law. He said that the campaign cry
of the democrats that President Will
son has kept the country out of war
did not bear analysis. since there had
never been any real danger of this
country's becoming involved in the
European war, and because there has
been actual war; if not political, be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
He said that none of the European ma
the United States as an added opponent
and that the people of the United
States had not desired to get into the
war The war scare, he said. was
merely a political move to obtain votes
on the part of the administration. He
pointed out that Switzerland. Holland,
Spain, Norway and Denmark had been
saved from war, which was at their
very doors. but that he had heard of
no one man being singled out in those
countries as having saved them from
war.
MIR. Capers said that the President
would have been guilty of treason had
he permitted the shipment of food,
clothing and ammunition to nations
abroad with whom he thought there
was real danger of war
The eight-hour law for the railroad
brotherhoods Mr.. Capers declared to be
insidious, because of the provision for
its being effective no sooner than
January /, and not operative immedi-
ately. He said it was sop thrown
out to the labor vote, and that it might
be lodged or repealed after election
day.

"May Live to See It."

Her hand resting on this pile of let
tiers from fellow-workers in the cause
of international peace as though mutely
thus striving to keep in closest touch
with them, her eyes still keen, assum-
ing a far-of look as though peering
into the future. Mrs. Lockwood spoke:
II am more interested in peace for
when and how. I hope I will live to
see it, and 1 believe / will. 1 am
keenly interested in the great meeting
for peace to be held here next May by
the League to Enforce Peace. I hope
to attend that meeting. A similar meet
ing is to be held by the International
Peace League at The Hague and a third
great peace meeting is to be held by the
Peace League at Itugano, Switzerland
I want to see these three great peace
from all over the world and unite on
some definite, practical program that
will mean lasting peace for ciyiliza-
ton.
This great war. the most terrible in
the history Of the world, has proved
what war really is. The terms Of set
Element must confirm this for all time
viz. that war Is a demon let loose
by greed and lust for power. In the
civilization of today and the future

see the nations Of the world unite in
settlement of this titanic struggle on
terms of justice, and from that union
a brotherhood of nations will grow
that will make future wars impossible.
When Peace Will Come.
THAT is my vision Of peace-when?
while this cannot be settled in the
mind Of any one, I am confident it
must come within a year. The thought
In war-mad Europe seems to beSthat
either the allies or the central powers
must win to bring about durable
peace. I think that the war must
stop soon. 1t is exhausting itself. Food
Is scarce. the people are starving. the
excheQuers are exhausted and they are
all depending on the United States for
money. The armies are being depleted.
There will not be any men soon. If
they keep on the women must run the
countries.
81 think that in less than a year, from
sheer necessity. war must stop.
"Peace-how?
Then will come a great mission for
the United States. This country must
lead in the adjustment. I believe that
the United States will be asked to pro-
pose the terms Of settlement. These

nations sitting as an international
court Of arbitration, and adopted. feel
sure.
The neutral nations in Europe and
the United States seem agreed that the
settlement must replace the map of
Europe as it was at the beginning of
the war. The status quo of nations
must be preserved. French territory
must be restored. Belgium must be
preserved intact Poland-long a bone
of contention-must have autonomy: in
other words. all Of the smaller nations
must have autonomy. That is Justice,
and Justice must prevail. II this is
not done there will be another war Just
as soon as the nations can prepare
for it,
Each day 1 am more firmly convinced
that this is the last great war, and
that an area Of world peace is about

a spoonful of salts occasionally to
keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid which is gem
Grated in the bowels and absorbed
into the blood. It is the function OF
the kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also means Of
freeing the blood Of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed. thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work. they
become weak and sluggish and fail TO
eliminate this uric acid, which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles, causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism

ounces Of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
