BURY THE DIFFERENCES.

BURY THE DIFFERENCES.
 There should he no dissension in
 this country today from any quarter. The battle of Capital and Labor has been quieted. for the most part. What disturbances that have broken
 out are not due to Labo so much as w. w. Practically all the great branches of organized labor have agreed to suspend strikes for the du- ration of the war What happened in tivities of those more in favor Of Ger many than of the United States. Capital has done all in it's power to pacify Labor and make the working
 trial. So much for that group or groups
 Coming into the realm of politics
 we find there is no such thing. Poli- tics has died natural death. Demo- crats and Republicans have taken in
 their signs overnight. Party lines have been almost totally obliterated The strongest denouncers of President Wilson in the late campaign have now come around to his way of think ing. The greatest supporters of 2 Charles Evans Hughes rarely ever
 mention his name The most rabld
 Republicans are now working hand in glove with dyed-i -the-wool Demo-
 crats. All is quiet along the Potomac
 The battle -axes of politics have been
 laid on the shelf never to be taken
 down until the war is persecuted to a
 victorious ending. That is what has
 happened in the realm of politics.
 In business there has come a new
 code of ethics. Business men are not trying to cut each others throats in
 the same rapacious fashion that pre- vailed before the beginning of hos
 tilities with Germany. There are few out of line, true: but the Federal Government is fast rounding them up and soon the price-boosters and the ehtOIllOIlSlS Will De run oul oA DuSl- ness. The wholesalers and the re- tailers are rapidly getting down to
 bedrock. They are being swayed by
 common sense as they never were be- , fore. As a consequence the ultima te consumers may eventually come into their own. This is the marked change i that has come in the business world Tn religion, men are becoming more now have come to the point where all realize they are trying to attain the
 same ends. Men once antagonistic to one another have cast aside all differ ences. Christian soldiers who once , were wont to give battle to each other have picked up the gauntlets and for the nonce refuse to be drawn into the maelstrom of argument. There has 1 come in this sphere an understanding that is almost incapable of being un- [ derstood. Yet it is here, body and | soul Men remark about it. There is
 calm after the storm. That is what
 has happened in the realm of religion ! That is what is happening in all other ' fields of thought and activity.
 There are only few sore spots left, | There are only few places now re-
 mainng where complete tranquility | is not the watch-word of the hour | These are, roughly, among the Pro-
 hibitionists who attempt to hold up
 all other Congressional legislation in l order that the bone-drs law may be- i come the supreme law of the nation
 the suffra gists who insist upon
 ''picketing' the White House and l worrying the President when his 1 whole time should be made as pleas 1 ant and easy as possible by the whole ! nation; the pacifists and the "con-
 scientious objectors" who. in the face of peril. attempted to hold up the laws { of the nation.
 ! These are the only sore spots on the , national horizon. AS soon as they are effaced, the better will it be for all l concerned. And they will be wiped l off the map just so soon as these ! people who make up the different
 classes mentioned come around to the i point where they realize that the
