THAT WAR REFERENDUM.

The curious Institution that is
called the American Union Against
Militarism has been sending out a
food of return postal cards that it
urges people to fill out and send TO
congress, apparently with the idea
that it can induce congress not to sup.
port the presidents stand in the pres
ent situation.
Here is one of the statements that
go along with this appeal:
In modifying her war zone Ger
many has offered safe passage for all
American passenger ships which keep
to a prescribed course, and which our
government guarantees free from con-
traband."
Then, Question-"Do you think We
should enter this war in order to up
hold our legal rights to go into the
war zone regardless Of these condi-
tions?"
Inasmuch as there are no conditions
and Germany never made any such
offer, answers to such a question are
utterly meaningless. You might al
we'll ask people if they are in favor
Of going to war with Mars.
Here is another:
"A national advisory referendum is
not unconstitutional and could be car
ried out by the census bureau.
through the postmasters. in % days"
Then, Question-"Do you think that
the people should be consulted before
congress declares war-except in case
of threatened invasion?"
But if these fetch persons would
repel an invasion, then clearly they
are not on the level when they oppose
preparations to repel it. You can't
turn that trick. if need arises. with
lace handkerchiefs and a bottle of
rose water.
And if they would not repeat it. what
in time is the use of all this bunk
about a referendum? The thing to
do is to surrender and be quick about
it.
But suppose we were to have such
referendum as these excellent but
deluded females advocate. Suppose
we start On it now. twenty-five days
add five for the necessary action of
congress; that makes month.
Suppose the vote is against going
to war.
The next day Germany commits
some intolerable overt act that de-
clares war without actual invasion.
10 we wait so days while Americans
are being murdered? Do we just sit
s:ii, and twiddle our thumbs while an
ctler referendum is taken Or WHAT
4 Union Against Militarism is not
needed in this country. Nobody could
ever put over militarism here-not
on your life. But the real CRYING need
is for a Union to care for miscellan-
eous cranks-particularly those to
whom heaven in its wisdom has de-

system of forty years standing to safe system Oh
agriculture whereby the farmers OF an entire
state might be induced to raise their own feed
and thus make cotton cash crop. But the great
err the Odds the greater the incentive with him,
and he entered upon the work with enthusiasm
With staff of sixty the campaign was
carried for period of thirtyfive days, approx
matey 1900 meetings being held in forty-nine
different countless covering the entire cotton belt
of the state. The speakers were not eloquent
orators. They were men who had given their
lives to the study of agricultural problems and
knew their subjects from to and back again.
They pointed out to the farmer the folly of buy
ing food and paying big profit to someone else
when he could just well raise that food at
home and save this big profit Likewise they told
him that If the farmer up North could raise grain
and beef and pork and sell them to the Southern
farmer at a profit on lands valued at from 500 to
$500 an acre, the Southern farmer could make
an greater profit by raising these commod-
tiles for himself
According to the Little Rock chamber of COM
MERGE this campaign added $30744,150 to the
value Of the agricultural products of Arkansas. a
fact which is proved by government statistics
But there were other benefits of that campaign
which are not easily measured This huge
Increase does not take into account the money
saved and kept in the state by the farmer who
raised his food at home-money which in
other years had gone out of the state, never to
return Nor does IL take into account the fact
that by raising his food. the farmer enjoyed
a better living than ever before.

In our climate, with its sudden
