THE ULTIMATE PEACE AND
PROGRESS OF A WOR


Oliver Wilson, president of the
National Grange, in his annual ad-
dress to that organization in St.
Louis last week among other things
said:
II is our opinion that the National
Grange should here and now declare
to the world its unqualified consecra-
tion to the great world task now fac
ing civiliEation--of driving forever
from existence the greatest world
outlaw that history has ever record
ed, an empire that has prostituted it.
self in the worship of brute force,
that has hurled to the winds all the
ideals of honor, morality and decen-
cy, that has stopped to acts of mur-
derous lust and wanton destruction
unparalleled in all the annals of hui
man affairs, and that constitutes, un-
til destroyed, a menace to every prin-
ciple of civilization and even of
Christianity itself.
The history OF the Grange, from
its very inception, is a continuous
record OF devotion to the principles
Of peace, to the championship Of JUS
tice, fairness and fraternity, and a
repeated avowel of its faith in arbi-
tration as a means of settling all
differences between individuals and
between nations.
Realization Approaches.
The Grange has long contended for
a League of Nations to enforce world
peace, and its declarations on this
subject one year ago were especially
emphatic. BY the unforeseen shaping
of events we are rapidly approaching
the very realization of such an act
ual league, as nation after nation is
arraying itself with the cause of hu'
manity, in a common defense against
German aggression and destruction
Clearly we now witness the SUI
preme struggle of the race-the
worlds best arrayed against the
worlds worst. Can there be any
doubt of the outcome of such a strug-
gle, and can we hesitate for a mo-
ment to throw the full weight of our
great organized power into such a
cause? Cut of such struggle
grown to its present, dimensions
must come the end that peace-loving
men have long and fervently hoped
and prayed for-the overthrow ot
war worship, the destruction of tn,
Gods OF Militarism, of force and Of
mere physical strength, and the ex
altation of that code of information
al morale that shall spell the ulti
mate peace and progress of a world.
The cost of the present struggle, IL
treasure and in blood, represents
the most frightful price humanity
has paid to secure an ideal. Thus il
the darkest hour in humanity's histo
ry, we catch a glimpse of the dawn
ing of a new day, even the triumph o
the very peace towards which Grang
energies and Grange hopes have un
ceasingly been directed, and t.
whose complete attainment by tn
only possible means available, we re
solve to re-dedicate all that we haV
and all that we are. Thus shall rea
and lasting worlds peace be attaine
and opportunities of freedom and lib
erty be guaranteed to every people.

Liberty Day.

BY proclamation of President Wilson
| October "a. week from Wednesday, is
designated as Liberty day. and on that
| day the American people are called upon
| to assemble and pledge their fullest
measure of financial support to the gov
ernment for the prosecution of this war.
The Treasury Department has called for
three billion dollars. and hopes that the
people will buy bonds to the value of
five billion. Should the minimum
amount be exceeded all oversubserip-
tions will be taken to the extent Of so
per cent The best answer the Ameri-
can people can give to the charge ocea-
sionally made in seditious circles that
they are not behind the government in
its declaration of war against Germany
is by a subscription to the bond issue
beyond even the maximum figure.
A week from Wednesday, therefore,
the people are to rally in their respec-
tive centprs, to make the success of the
| iibSAt.N ivan
tion. At present the subscriptions are
somewhat behind the ratio of expecta.
tion. Yet there is no fear of failure.
There is money in this country in
abundance to buy all the bonds the
Treasury offers and more, and still more
on calls yet to be issued. 1t is but nee
essary to make the people realize that II
is their duty to subscribe, that this is
their opportunity to do something to
win the war. that it is, as the President
says, their chance to give "an assurance
of an unequaled support to hearten the
men who are to face the fire of battle
for u.s."
In the days between now and Liberty
day all the energies Of those who are
engaged in the bond work will doubt
less be exerted to the utmost to bring
the total on that morning up to an i'm
pressive figure, so that the results of
that one days drive will carry the total
we'll toward the fve-billion mark

The Regular Monday Warning.

A train hit a motor car yesterday at
q grade crossing near Detroit and killed
every oecupant-one man, two women
and four children. The driver went on
the tracks without looking to see the
conditions. There was no gate There
was no Waterman or warming signal
Thus both were to blame, the railroad
company for maintaining an open grade
crossing and the motorist for trying to
cross without ascertaining the situation.
But the two women and the four little
ones were in nowise responsible Their
lives have been wasted, because the state
permits an evil to remain undated and
because a motorist was careless This is
the usual Monday warming. How
many will be necessary to make the
road users exercise caution while wait
ing for the state to compel the railroads
to abate these deadly nuisances7

Bonds, or Higher Taxes.

Speaker Clark is quoted as saying at
st. Louis respecting discouraging reports
about subscriptions to the second liberty
loan:
"One thing. however, is cocksure
Congress is going to raise money enough
to carry on the war. If the people will
not buy bonds then taxes will be in
creased, which is not pleasant pros
pect."
Here is something, we'll put, for every
body to consider. The country is at wal

provide means for prosecuting the war

So much is apportioned to taxation, and

The tax measure just passed calls fol

Posterity should bear full, and a

cost of the war on those fighting it

bage collection service next year and
in subsequent years what it is now pay
ing on three-year contract. There has
never been any doubt of the economy OF
the municipal plant proposal. Yet. in
the face Of specific reports after an e1
pensive investigation to the effect that
such plant could pay for itself in ten
years the matter has been passed over
in Congress from session to session on
the score Of immediate economy. Now
with only one bid rendered for the gar
bage collection service next year, the
District must pay $4,000 year, or at
rate that, if applied on a capital IN
vestment under the old estimate, would
mean fuH liquidation and ownership in
five years.
It is not too late for Congress to leg
isIate to the point of municipal service
in the collection and disposal of gar
baRe after the present fiscal year. Even
IL the work could not be completed in
time for the next season it could be put
into shape for use soon after. If the
houses will pass the District appropria-
tion bill promptly at the coming ses-
sion it might be possible for the District
to organize the collection service before
July l and arrange for disposal by pri-
vate agencies pending the construction
of the municipal disposal plant.
Good business demands that this work
so intimately part of the municipal serv-
ice. should be done by the District it
self. The capital community should not
be left to the mercy of private enter
prise in so vitality important particu-
lar as the collection of waste. The jump
of 100 per cent in the collection and dis
posal contract price should at last bring
Congress to realization of this truth.
