WAR IT MUST BE.

Whether war is declared against Germany or not, congress has a duty to perform at this ses- sion that cannot be avoided and that is to settle the Mexican question for good. This means that our troublesome neighbor must be under re- straint To do that we must simply take the imaginary division line and carry it clear across on the other side of Mexico and add another star to our banner There seems to be no other way out of the difficulty.
 The Indians had to be conouered before we got peace and the Mexicans are but Indians. We have failed to make them understand that peace is preferable to than it follows that in order to have peace we must first have war. The same argument may be used in speaking about Germany. We have tried every which way to convince that country that we abhored war. We have tried to convey that impression by innum- erable paper bullets, by all kinds of demonstra- tions. To all our entreaties nothing but abuses have resulted Such being the case. if war we must have, war we shall have. And as much as it is to be regretted, congress cannot sidestep

WHAT ABOUT IT?

A few weeks ago a movement was started to organize in Ketchikan an auxiliary of the Ameri- can Red Cross Association. Where is that move ment? Was it ditched? Every club and organ- izaton is said to be flourishing in our city; yet the most worthy of them all died-apparently aborning. Most of us belong to some organiza- ton and for the sake of argument let us admit that all of us belong to the "peace at any price" organization; yet we may not be in the majority if we consider the people outside of our town. In that case the majority may prefer war to sub- mission, and since we are one nation, we must support the majority. To be prepared to render valuable assistance to the majority, it would seem proper to organize such organization as would relieve suffering humanity in case the worst come Where is the leader to lead in this national organization?

DIR. ELIOT'S NEW CREED
ASSAILED BY MINISTER'S
Say President Emeritus Of Har-
ward Merely Represents Small
Percentage Of Unitarians
BLAME HIS OLD AGE
Refuse to Admit World Would Be
Better OFF Without Heaven
or He'll

Merely a few jovial riffs in the minis
terial lute made their appearance today
when representative clergymen of the Meth
odist Episcopal and Reformed Church were
interviewed on the subject of the new Uni
tartan creed set forth in statement by
Dr. Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus OF
Harvard
The tenet particularly under scrutiny
reads as follows
we believe that mankind would get
along better than it does now IL it were
positively known that the heaven of reve-
lation has been burnt and hell quenched"
The Rev. DIR. Samuel Vernon, of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church and professor of
theology at Temple University, laughingly
remarked: when read things like this
from the pen of Doctor Eliot we say, Oh
that's Eiot'-then we laugh and don't think
much more about ii. We place Eliot in
class with Russell. barring the fact that
Mr. Eliot is an honest man. Mr.. Eliot rep
resents just a small portion of the Uni
tartan Church, and the Unitarian belief
represents a very small percentage of the
! worlds faith. We do not exploit hell We
| merely try our best to keep people out of
| its danger
The Rev. Dr. George C. Henson. super
| intendent of the southern division Of the
| Methodist Episcopal Church. said he dis
| tincty did not believe the world would be
| better off without promise of reward or
| punishment. THE penal code" he con-
| tinued, specifies punishment for certain
| offenses and children arc punished in
school, This law of retributon must be in
the spiritual as well as in the temporal
| life"
The Rev. Rufus c. hartman. of the
| Heidelberg Reformed Church, Nineteenth
and oxford streets, was very much amused,
| He remarked THE longer some people live,
| the less they seem to know; take Methuse-
| lah, he lived 800 years and he didn't have
sense enough to run into the ark and get
out of the rain"
The Rev. f. p. La Rose. president of the
Ministerial Association of the Reformed
| Churches, said that he had always had re-
spect for gray hairs, but that he guessed
what the Rev. Mr.. hartman said was also
his opinion.
The Rev. J. NJ. Isenberg, pastor of the
! Trinity Reformed Church, Broad and We
| mango streets declared that when Charles
| w Eliot spoke on religious matters he
| failed to listen. incidentally, he remarked
| that he wasn't interested in trash"

EDUCATION BOARD HEAL
REPLIES TO GRUNDY
Henry r. Edmunds Answers
Manufacturers Attack on
Child Labor Law
DEFENDS IT'S PURPOSE
Believes Continuation Schools, While
Not Perfect, Serve
Good End

Henry r. Edphunds, president of the
Board OF Education, replied today to the
attack made upon the public schools re-
Gently by Joseph r. Grundy. president Of
tion, Mr. Grundy. speaking at dinner OF
the Swarthmore Club OF Philadelphia, ridi-
culed the child labor law, pointed to de-
fects which he said existed in the admins
istration of continuation schools, formed
under that law TO provide instruction TO
juvenile workers.
Mr.. Grundy seems to have little SYM
pethy with the continuation schools" said
Mr.. Edmunds, "and as matter OF fact
when the child labor law was passed the
Board Of Education was not at all pleased.
The new act charged the public school syr
tenn with duties that IL had dcver perore
performed, added to the city's educational
expenses and caused confusion and the
necessity OF adjusting the system to new
requirements.
But the law has been passed, and we
now feel that 1t is good one. Its enforce-
ment has naturally involved many diff
1culties: all new laws mean new troubles.
But these troubles are worth while over
coming
Mr.. Grundy says that the schools are
teaching children to despise industry.
think that he is governed by misapprehen-
| sions In that respect. l think that we are
not only not making children look down on
honest labor. but that on the contrary. we
| are preparing them for industry as we
never did before.
The State has begun to realize that its
| interests lie not only In eradicating litter.
| acy. but that It Is its business to train thc
| individual for the occupation which he Is ia
| fill.
Germany learned that lesson long ago.
and we have begun to learn from her.
| Whatever else may be wrong with the
| German system Of government and educa-
ton, Germany succeeds in preparing Its
young citizens for industrial life. Hence
| Germany's industrial efficiency.
| THE continuation school is a Teutor
idea And 1 feel that eventually we will
| apply that idea as successfully as Germany
has done. The continuation school may
| not be success now, but in the course oi
time It will. ] say to Mr.. Grundy that per.
haps we have not yet proved the child labol
law to be a success. but ask him to gfvt
us time. Experience will show just how
valuable law It is, and how wen the publ,
schools can adjust themselves to it."

SIX MORE SHOWS DUE,

Famous Unofficial Weatherman
Scouts Lack of u. S. Fore
casters Information
There once pds curious quaker,
Who tCds far from being a tdker;
He could tell you toith ease
All the Wedther's degrees,
For he Is tho prophet Mokemuoher.

Might as we'll know II now - there's
going TO be six moro SHOWS this winter.
who said SO? Well. not tho weather
man. He doesn't know.
We called him today and asked the sim
pie question:
How many more SHOWS are we going TO
have this winter?" There was a gasp; then
a gurgling sound as though he were over
coming indignation.
He was not pleased by the question
Nobody alive can tell that" he said.
There a semblance of pain in his
voice you'll have to go to - to go TO
Heaven" he added, Ito find that out"
But we didn't have to do any such thing
Living quietly in little green house In
the suburbs OF Manayunk is old Simeon
Mokemachcr. His home is even more cozy
than his little nook in Andalusia or his erst-
while home in the Neck" Thither we
went 10 learn Of future SHOWS, and he was
equal to the emergency.
Simeon had no patience when he heard
of the wcatherman's utter failure to size up
to the situation.
"Ie couldn't tell ye. eh?" he muttered,
"wot is he paid for, eh? He's sposed ter
have all ther latest thometers, an charts,
an other fancy claptrap fer tellin' bout
ther rains an ther SHOWS, but wot do he
know--nuthin'."
Nokelnacnef paused III ms Wratn 10 size
up the visitor.
"Ye want ter know jist now many SHOWS
we're goin' ter have Simeon shuffled
over toward an old hair trunk In the corner
Of the kitchen. He pulled down a tattered
shade on the window nearby so that pas
sersby couldn't spy in on him and then
jerked the trunk from the corner Behind
the trunk was small rusty door in the
wall. Molemacher opened the door and
al
which once had been an old fireplace He
drew out rusty box about foot square,
opened it and brought to view long amber
stemmed pipe It was more than foot
in length and was topped off by a pyra-
midal-shaped bowl. Simeon held the pipe
near the cleaning Goals of a very healthy
looking stove.
There he saw that the pipes stem
was veined with azure blue streaks. Let
me see." he muttered, there be just six OF
EN-, so were going ter have jist six more
SHOWS this here winter"
The old prophet trudged over to a calen-
dar on the wall and looked closely at the
big black figures as though they might
verify his prediction. Simeon took another
look at the pipe as lie adjusted his steel
trimmed glasses. He noticed that the bowl,
too, had assumed blush tinge. Every
blue streak on the stem.' he said, means
n snowstorm. an when the bowl is light.
ish blue it's snow jist as sure as yer
alive"
How long have you had the pipe.
Simeon?" inquired the visitor
Huh, that pipes alluz been in the Moke-
macher family" said Simeon, as he gazed
at the relic with reverence II member 1t
when | wuz youngster, an me gran'dad
said ne 'membered it when he was a kid
| too"
Where did II come from?"
why, that ere pipe came"-
But just then the baker knocked at the
door and left the bread, and we couldn't
get Simeon to say more.
