to quote the Governor, but l know that

Now if the public utilities Is too busy

in it's wisdom has not taken action TO es-

after it, and are looking after the inter

you, gentlemen, that during the years of
their existence, during all the years Of
their existence down to the time this
Legislature met and including every day
during its session. they have had oppor-
tunity under their law, and as a part of
their duty, TO assist and direct and advise
the committees of this Legislature or any
members of 1t. If they had had the time
and had had the interest. they would have
done it. Under the circumstances in
view Of the fact that we get nothing from
it except the preamble, which is not a
part of it, ] trust that the measure will
be indefinitely postponed.
do not wish to take any action here
that will embarrass this Legislature in it's
declining moments; do not wish to take
any action or any advantage of any situa-
ton here of a parliamentary nature; but
there are enough people represented here
who are representative men, and 1 am
willing to abide by their decision, what
ever 1t may be. (Applause)

BY IN. b. COCHRAN

What will it mean? What will it do
to US as a nation? War is hell, OF
course. But peace isn't heaven.
We've had peace for many years, but
when you analyze it it's been one
he'll of a peace-peace with other ma
tons, and religious, industrial and
political peace and hell among our
selves. If we go to war with guns
some of our brave boys will be killed,
of course. But hundreds OF thou
sands of them have been murdered
by industrial oppression and occupa-
tiOnaI diseases in the piping times OF
peace-and among them countless
women and children. Peace hath her
victims no less oppressed than war.
The wars between the Vets and
DTys, PTOtestants and Catholics,
GentiIes and Jews have brewed as
nasty a mess of hatred in America as
the war of the many national selfish
uesses in Europe. Notwithstanding
all the years of peace, the brother
hood of man was still the beautiful
dream it always was - just as still
and just as much of a dream.
After watching the effect of war
on England and Russia, with kings
tumbIing from their thrones and the
masses coming into their own, have
come to believe that in war rather
than in peace lies our hope of real
progress toward social and industrial
justice. Even the threat of war add
ed new dignity to labor. The MAN
who might have to drop the handles
of his wheelbarrOw to shoulder a gun
looked to his boss more like a MAN
than a slave.
In peace the organization of hui
man society was coming too slowly.
In war it is making the strides Of a
giant. Dollars can't make guns or
shoot them. Dollars can't make or
sail flying machines. Dollars can't
run locomotives or battleships Not
one dollar or all of the Rockefeller

IF WAR COMES, THEN WHAT OF IT?


the nation is calling for nOw-not
dollars. We can take the dollars
without the owners consent, but the
MEN must offer themselves. And
the nation finds that it needs more
than gun-fOddeT. It needs men to
plant and tend and harvest the food
crops, to run the railroads, to build
ships, to manufacture the munitions
of war, to feed and clothe the men
who do the fighting. And it needs
to protect the health of all Of the
men, women and children of the ma
ton.
By way of preparedness we are
beginning to study ourselves and
each other, to take account of our
man power as well as of our physical
wealth. Young men are examined
for the army and navy-as to physi-
cal fitness. Many are rejected as I'M
fit. Why? Won't that question
have to be answered? Won't even
the blind see that child labor hasn't
paid? Won't they see that a nation,
however rich, can't protect its mate
rial wealth unless it carefully con-
serves it's wealth of man power?
Can't the most ignorant aristocratic
boss begin to understand that so
long as nations resort to war to set
tie their differences the nation that
would survive must see to it that
motherhood is protected so that
wholesome, healthy, robust babies
are born and reared to wholesome
manhood?
We have tried to convince employ
ers of women that every working
woman is entitled to a wage that will
enable her to live a healthy, whole
some life-but all argument was
vain. If war will make department
store owners see in every girl clerk
a possible wife and mother of a
healthy soldier son, the war will be
worth while.

Dream

Some people say that l am too much
Of a dream girl because l love stories,
especially fairy stories, and when
things turn out rather disappointing
and "unstorylike" l like to fix them
over so that everything ends up beau
tifully and the sad people Give happily
ever after" This story really did
turn out that way, and it seems to me
that the real story is just as nice as
the dream story of mine.
In our church there was a woman of
about twenty-seven years of age who
a the leader Of Our young peoples
choir. Although she was twenty-seven
she seemed quite young to u.s., and We
called her Miss WinifYed. I think
she is just about the incest person in
the world and l used to wonder why
every nan in our town wasn't Just
crazy about her and why they didn't
all break their hearts and be bachelors
forever because she wouldn't marry
them. tu1'' t,sr. ~.
One day l found out about It. a Il
meant found out why she never mar
ried them, not why they weren't all
bachelors.) 1t was because, years ago,
when she was eighteen years old,
she loved a young doctor whom she
had known all through her highschool
course. People say that they were en-
gagged and that he finally broke the
engagement, after she had grown to
love him and had made so many happy
plans for the future with him.
OF course she thought then that he
was the incest man in the world, but
he wasn't, and when she found out that
he had never loved her but had been
false all those years it seemed as
though she must have built a tight wall
around her heart to keep 1t safe. l
guess she thought all men were Just
about alike and that they would treat
a girls heart as a mere plaything to

And so for years she had devoted all
her time in unselishly doing good for
others and consequently in making
everyone love her mor than ever.
Now this was the time my dreams
came in. Sometimes when the sermons
seemed pretty long and it seemed to
me rather uninteresting, l used to play
that she was a beautiful princess,
such as one often reads about, whom
n wicked ogre had confined in a tower
so high and so strong that no one
could find an entrance, though all who
came near could hear a beautiful sill
very voice floating down to them. And
everyone who Glanced to hear this mel
ody fell Immediately ualpd violently IN
love with her. and was seized with
the desire to. rescue her a}nd win the
heart Of the maiden who sang thus
sweetly. . ...r = ..~i@. 81, >ya,%, ,.
Then l would always find one prince
ont of all. the, world who because Of his
brave, pure life could overcome and
conquer all sorts of difficulties. light
his way to her tower, obtain the key Of
some secret door, and so live happily
yer after" ..,e , ar, ..u.

exhausted this subject and was look.
ing around for somebody else who
would be Interesting to make a story
out Of, the preacher introduced .

meetings during the following week.
He was a very interesting bishop In.
deed, so interesting that l forgot to
think up another story.
That Sunday I thought Miss Wini.
fred looked lovelier and sang more
beautifully than ever before. Every.
n likes to hear Miss Wlnifred sing
because she seems to put her whole
self into her songs and every word
means such a lot more when sung BY
her than by anyone else. I guess the
bishop agreed with me, because that
week was not the last time we saw
him. He kept coming again every once
in a while.
One day he left our town for the
last time, but he did not leave alone.
You see he had discovered the secret
key.
But there is Just one little sad
thing about this really truly dream
story of mine, and that is ne. We
have a new choir leader now. After
all l cannot be so awfully sad, be-
cause I have had a letter from Miss
Winifred saying that l must come and
visit her soon and that although her
home is not a palace Of gold, silver,
precious stones or even marble or ma
hogany, yet she thinks it is a nice one,
and she says the bishop is the dearest
man that ever lived and that she Is
the happiest person that ever lived.
Somehow I have a feeling which is not
at all like a dream or a fairy story, but
Is a very certain feeling that they will
'live happily ever after."-Chicaso
