If the advocates of war can find any
comfort in the fact that on the occasion
of the latest Zeppelin raid on London
10 men, women and children were
blown to atoms, or wounded and
manned, they are welcome to it. To
our mind it was unutterably horrible
and worthy only of q government that
could find it compatible with it's policy
to send out submarine and fiendishly
sink great merchant ship, freighted
with hundreds of helpless, inoffensive
men, women and childre-. even babes
at their mothers breasts. Through his
tory we know something of the barbar-
ity of Indian warfare in colonial DAYS.
From the same source we have been
made acquainted with the ferocities of
feudal wars, but to our knowledge his
tory records nothing more diabolically
cruel, nothing more wolfish and coward
ly than this dropping of bombs in the
night upon helpless, non combatent
men, women and children. 1t must be
admitted that war has at times been
the fundamentally for achieving glor-
ious purposes, purposes which were in
variably the conceptions of minds de-
voted to peaceful progress, but the
instrumentality was ever hellish even
though the result was good. 1t is i'm
portant to a proper consideration of
this subject not to confuse the cause
itself with the mode of attaining it.
Warfare has been the means to the
attainment of worthy objects, only be-
cause people have not been sufficiently
advanced in civilization to make prog
ress through better means. But war
itself has always been just what it is
today, mere human butchery revolving
to every fine and kindly instinct. So
patent is this fact, so glaring are the
horrors of war, so sure are the burdens
of debt and national distress That must
follow it, that throughout the world the
spirit of civilization is looking for the
early down of an era wherein justice,
fraternity and civil law, rather than
envy, hate and war shall form the basis
upon which nations shall regulate their
intercourse.

Mother of Moses! but there are some
savages in the midst of our much
Wanted civilization, even in the purleus
of Clio. There are men whose every
instinct is boost for the Darwinian
theory, however regretable the fact
may be as touching the responsibility
of their ancestors. There are men
whose ambitions and desires would
shame hyena and who commit acts of
filth in our alleys and public places that
hog would never stoop to if it were
possible for him to avoid it and which a
cannibal carib would be run out of camp
for committing. We are somewhat
given, some of US, to advocating our
duty as nation in civilizing Mexico,
even to the extent of going to war for
that purpose, and there are others
whose sense of nicely is narrowed by
the filth said to exist in far off China.
But when, personally, we fall to ponder
ing these various matters and contrast
ing them, we can't help feeling what
an immense uncutivated field for re-
formative endeavor we have right at
home, although we may admit the pos
sibility that the Mexicans and Chinese
are more responsive to this kind of
work than is the native material. We
make this latter admission because of
the fact that the heather who dwell in
our midst have had much chance to be
something better, while possibly, the
Mexicans and Chinese have had very
little opportunity to be anywise better.
That makes the problem the more diff
cult and perplexing. In fact, this mat
ter of internal social uplift is the most
difficult with which civilization has
to deal. The man who needs it
doesn't want it, He is surrounded by
the instrumentalities of higher exist
ence all the time and resolutely turns
his back upon them all. What is to be
done-for every grouchy protest of
this kind should prescribe some remedy,
or at least suggest some ray of hope?
Well, there's the Darwinian theory.
Maybe, sometime, the lower orders of
life will get to be apes and then to be
men. Seriously, course in some
reformative penal institution might do
some of the older offenders good. while
moral and industrial instruction in the
public schools, and sympathetic, per-
sistent endeavor with children who are
unfortunately circumstanced, seem to
afford the most promising means of
real progress. 1t is possible to do much
with any sort of material in its plastic
state and extremely hard to remodel it
after it has taken fixed form. But,
anyhow, there is an immense field of
labor right here at home for the relig-
ious, humanitarian and social reform
ers.
