DISARMAMENT ONLY SAFETY.

The Saturday News renews it's sug-
gestion in the face of the fact that
there is a growing impression that
the war will close within the ensuing
year, that peace ought, not to come
out of this conflict, terrible as the
thought may be, until the principal
nations of the earth are ready to dis
arm.
Militarism will never be wiped out
SO long as nations prepare for war
II one nation prepares, it's neighbor
must do likewise in se~lf-defense;
hence, the only assurance of safety
from the curse of militarism lies in
disarmament,
If this war stops today, or tomor-
row or next week, or next year, with
out bringing with it a state of mind
on the part of thosetconcerned which
results in disarmament, military pre-
parations will continue after the war
shall have closed.
Preparations for war eventuate in
war. There is no getting away from

E DIT O RIA L

AS in our Civil Wa and in the Span
is~h-AnieIican war in the Philippines,
evilminded women and bad whisky
have wrought greater havoc among
the soldiers in reducing their fighting
power than have the. guns of the en-
envy,
tary for the British empire, recently
at Huron, s.. d., in conference with
the associations committees for
South Dakota, is quoted as saying
that one general at the front had told
Virgo that the generals command
had been losing ten men a week from
this sort of vice prior to the time
when the association established quar-
tiers within the regiment, but that
his losses had been reduced through
the influence of the Y. M. G. A. to two
a week from this cause
Mr.. Virgo is further quoted as say
ing that all allied commanders who
have seen the effective work of the
association in the American army
have practically demanded that Amer
leans raise funds to put a&Y. M. G.
A. hut on every mile of the fighting
front of the entire allied armies. 1t
is agreed, continued Mr.. Virgo, among
army leaders that by keeping the al
lied soldiers in mental and physical
form, the Y. M. G. A. will be a big
factor in speeding up the finish of the
war.
Perhaps no other army in the
world is as free from the baneful in
~1uences Of the twin evil-bad whisky
and worse women-as is the American
army at present. American military
men united at the outset to reduce
this evil to the minimum. 1t is a
matter of public record that the re-
moVal of a training camp was threat
ened by officials Of the war depart
ment because of the laxity of the gov
ernor of the state wherein it was To-
Gated with respect to the enforcement
of the laws concerning vice.
1t is not to be inferred that vice
has been wholly removed from Am
erican army life, but it has been ma

A Forgotten Contract
Springs Into Light

Washington, Oct. 20.-Armies Of
men faring forth to lick the kaiser
and tons and tons Of equipment are
moving "deadhead" over many lines
of railroad and the government will
not have to take even one red cent
from it's $4,000, 00O, 900 or S. 00, 0ee,-
900 of Liberty Loan revenue to ray
any transportation bill.
The land grant roads, including
a number of lines in Minneapolis ter
ritory that now are incorporated into
great systems, are moving this busi-
ness free, because they agreed, many
years ago, that they would do it il
ever claled upon, in consideration of
lands given.
Enormous business doomed in sight
for the railroads when mobilization
of Uncle Sans great army began.
Enormous revenues seemed just
ahead.
Then some one OF those kind OF
persons with long memories that al
ways are digging around and recalling
things that happened twenty-five or
fifty year ago, went into certain gov
eminent vaults wherein are archives
and took out old and stained dooa-
ments and blew dust OFF and read
what was inside.
What though the government did
require, as a return for land grants,
that the roads agreed to transport
troops and supplies free in war time,
the railway builders figured at the
time. Maybe the Sioux in South Da-
kota might rise up and a few hundred
soldiers go out and annihilate then,
or some greasers along the Mexican
border get noisy. That would nst5
really be war--only internal troubles.
And as for war, real war, why there
were not going to be any more a
after the great Civil War was yea.
many astute railroad officials thought.
So there it is today on the old con-
tracts and that is why the enormous
business now moving does not mean
what it might e to in the
way of revenue to the railroads.

for Two Hours.

Joseph H. Gumlaw Of go st. Paul treet
was run over and killed by q switching
engine in the Rutland railroad yard Sat-
urday night.
Both Of the mans legs we're cut OF
above the knee. and a deep cut on the

fore he was run over.

road Laramie ran across the body about

a foot and half away from hts head.
Gumlaw was lying face downward
when discovered, and II was the opinion
Of some Of those present that he had not
died instantly, but had lived some time
after being struck. What he was doing

BARNS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Electric Storms Destroy Barns and
Much Hay in Franklin County
Friday Morning.

St. Adams, Aug. 1.-THE worst electrical
storm of the year thus far occurred about
four o'clock this morning, continuing
about an hour with lightning so con-
slant as to seem almost like one flash and
nearly a continuous roll of thunder besides
several sharp crashes.
There was some trouble with local tele-
phone and electric light lines from the
storm, fuses burning out and some tele-
phone lines being out of commission for a
short time.
Soon after the storm started a large
hay barn in the field on N. L. Corliss
farm on the Kellogg road In st. Adams
town was struck and burned to the ground
with it's contents of between forty and
fifty tons of hay. The barn was filled to
overlooking, the floor as we'll as the hay
loft There were practically no facilities
for fighting the flames. The loss Is esti-
mated at $1,000 with only a small insur-
ance.
On S. Allan Soules farm at Fairfield
a hay and COW barn was struck about
four o'clock and the building with most
Of it's contents, together with another
barn attached. was burned. In the large
barn between so and GO tons fhay and a
double wagon were burned. The men had
just gone to the pasture for the COWS.
Some hogs which were in the barn were
saved. The barn attached was used
for storing tools. These were burned. also
a cream separator and quantity Of lum-
Der. Neighbors were on the scene prompt
ly and by hard work the flames were kept
from spreading to two other large barns
on the farm. Telephone lines were knocked
I out Of commission by the storm so 1t was
| impossible to secure information regard
| ing estimate of the loss.
Another thunder storm occurred about
1880 o'clock this afternoon but not of such
severity as that Of the morning.

The three men occupied cells in the
same section of the prison. one above
the other. 1t required a thin man to
reach from within the cell to the key
