Schilling, on second consideration,
will find, too, that there are no mo-
rails, no high ideals, neither poetry,
nor beauty in wholesale butChery
and slaughter, but just mean and
wicked instincts Of the cave-man.-
Saul Marcus.
BIG PROBLEM.-As the king can
not represent the people, so the va
IiOus forms Of representative gov
eminent cannot represent the peO-
pie and they do not. The European
war shows this clearly. The people
did not and do not want war.
All that a representative govern
ment seems able to do is to increase
the growth of the social problems.
Strikes are bigger and more numer-
Que. The labor problem is still
growing in power. If you want a
poison universally circulated and
used, as tobacco, place it under a
representative government and see
its use grow.
Let the people act for themselves,
not simply vote some ones ideas ana
let the expensive machinery Of repre-
sentative government go to the sCraP
heap. The representatives have not
the courage nor the power or wisdom
to solve the problems of tOday-the
job is too big for them. The people
have the courage and know their in
terests if allowed to express it, and
they act effectively and well.
Public discussion and assembly is
the best development Of general well
fare.
The referendum and initiative are
indicators of the future trend, point
eT toward direct legislation as a GER
tain solution of our big problems

SCHILLING'S ARTICLE

to call w. J. Schilling's attention to
the fact that there is nothing new in
his ideas about war. They are as old
as Gen. Won Bernhardi's book, Ger
many and the Next War" In other
words, Mr. Schilling plagarized a few
phrases from that book and gave it
to the readers of The Day Book.
But l wonder if he would not
change his ideas if he were sent to
the trenches for "A months in front
Of VerdUn or in the swamps of
Minsk?
wonder if Gen. Bernhard did not
lose some Of his ardOr and bravadO
after witnessing all the carnage,
slaughter and horrors Of a months
war, solving the great questions by
steel and blood, of devastation of
countries, of sufferings and starva-
ton Of millions Of people, nay, of en-
tire nations?
Furthermore, I earnestly believe
Gen. Bernhard would now spend a
fortune to recover all his books and
have them destroyed; and you, Mr..

Justice and Efficiency.

AS TO JUDGE WADE.-JUdges, in
the estimation of the public, are sup
posed to be brOad-minded and supe-
TiOT in intellect to the common lay
man. It remained for Judge Wade
to show the fallacy of that theory,
by threatening to have an officer dis
charged for aTTesting him for viOlat-
ing a law which he had sworn to en-
force and for which he had often eX-
acted a penalty from other viOlatOrs.
While apparently considering himself
immune, l trust his evil intentions
will act as a boomerang to shatteT
his bread basket in place of. the one
he is aiming at, as a proper Tebuke
from the public for his autOcTatiC
spirit and superficial conduct It's
about time the public stood pat and
did not allow the underdOg to be
scapebOat fOrever.-M. Rasmussen.

THE ROOSTER

A queer bird is the rooster.
There are three excuses for there
being such a thing as a rooster
on this earth.
1. He is very valuable for the
making OF everything on a feath-
-er buster except the handle or
ebony part.
2. II II wasn't for the rooster
there wouldn't be any flavor to
stewed dumplings.
8. He's q team-mate with the
cat for being shoe target.
A funny thing about the roos-
ter is that he has a second child
hood.
When he hits the butcher shop
he has his nom de plume chang
ed from rooster to spring chicken.
Dentists are very grateful to
the "springg chicken" because II
1t were not for him gold crowns
would be used as sling shot am
munition and the dentists would
oil be panhandlers.
