TIERS. FROM THE
MISS0ULlAN FAMILY
Psychological Causes of war.

War Is not biological necessity.
but it is psychological fact--a deep
seated racial habit 1t is the outcome,
directly or indirectly. Of three basic
instincts and impulses of human ma
ture: fear. hate and rivalry.
1t Is weN-known psychological
fact that when the higher brain CEN
tiers have been subjected to excessive
strain or taxed beyond their normal
capacity. nature provides safety
valve through normal modes OF re-
taxation. In the history of civilization
man has discovered many substitutes
for natural or racial modes OF rclaNa-
ton. But a moral substitute for war
has not so far been discovered.
When we remember that the Ger
| manic and Teutonic peoples are only
about 1.500 years removed from bar
barism (but a few seconds on the
clock of ages): and when we consider
further the marvellous advancement
made by these peoples. particularly IN
the last one or two hundred years. we
! realize somewhat of the tremendous
strain which has been placed upon the
youngest and least stable organ OF
the body. the higher brain cells.
Now add to this the kaiser's we'll
! known hatred of social democracy and
his fear of the rising tide of socialism
Il fear that had become an obsession
and couple with these the sharp Geo.
nomic rivalry that has pervaded all
the great powers of Europe since the
| industrial revolution and we have al
least a hint of the deeper causes OF
the present war. If this conclusion is
correct we have also a suggestion as
to the course to be pursued in the re-
adjustments which must be made
fatter the war closes.

HOW hc SETTLED LABOR PROB
LEM.

When Matthew c. Brush, president
OF the Boston Elevated railroad found
his men were getting restless, he
settled the trouble in characteristic
fashion.
Constant argument did not appeal
to Brush. 1t WAS not his way of doing
business. He buckled up his belt and
plunged into tho middle. His first
move was to call w u. Mahon. head
of the National Garments union, into
his office and locked the door.
Now. Mahon." he said, drawing up
a chair and learning forward with his
friendly smile, were here in my Of
flee. The doors are locked. There
arc no stcnographcrs concealed any
where. No photographs. No one to
listen. The curtains are drawn. We're
here alone. But before we can do
anything I've got to know you and
you've got to know me- You tell me
all about yourself. and I'll tell you
who | am and what rye done
And thus the labor leader and the
frank friendly railroad official drew
back the curtains of rcticence and
suspicion and showed each other the
goods that We're within them. Mahon
saw Brush the newsboy, and Brush.
the apprentice. as we'll as Brush the
vic" president. Brush saw Mahon as
a fellow man whose heart was bound
up in the welfare of labor.
"Mahon found out that was
square" Brush said aftcrward. 'and ]

was open and honest: 50 was |. We

COULD A TOP SPIN FOREVER?

Friction helps to stop a top. but if
YOU spin Il top on a perfectly smooth
plate. so that there is very little
friction, it will spin much longer; and
If you could spin it on a smooth plate
inside of something from which you
had taken away all the air, it would
not be difficult to get the top to spin
for hours, because things which have
once started moving go on until some
thing stops them.
If the top could be spun where there
is no air at all, and nothing happened
to hinder the spinning, the top would
certainly go on forever. The earth is
like Il great wheel or top spinning
round and round in space, but, as
space is almost empty. and the earth $
air is part of the earth and goes
around with it, and as the earth is not
spinning on anything, as a top spins
on IA plate. the earth scarcely slows
down throughout all the ages. kan

SENTRY VICTIMS WERE DRUNK.

The Court-martial hearings of the
three enlisted man Of the FRS, rcsi-
m"nt of Philadelphia, who as scntrics,
have shot and killed people who have
failed TO halt when challenged or who
attacked tn" scntries, have been COM
plCtcd, and a report forwarded to the
department of the cast at Governors
island. It bamCS all fatalities on rum.
The Witnesses called and the defense
entered by the men on trial are said
10 have brought out clearly that in
every case the men who failed to
answer the challenge of the scntries
or dcfiantly attacked them We're under
the influence of liquor. while no such
charge could be brought against the
sentrics who shot them.
While Major Thomas +. Mcchan,
who presided at the court martiais.
would not discuss the cases. a man
conVcrsant with the proceedings said:
Rum was responsible in every in
stance It was either the case of Il
drunken man who in 4 spirit of bra
vado dcfiod the sentry to carry out his
orders, tn" case OF u drunken man who
didn't know what he was doing, or it
was a case of a drunken man made

Democratizing Wealth.


The United States government is
using large posters and much news
paper space to urge us to buy Liberty
Bonds. They proclaim that the buy
ing of bonds is just as necessary a
service as the work of the soldier.
But this service is asked to be vol
unteered.
Yesterday all of our young mer
were required to register for military
service with the threat of severe pen
alties for those who refuse to comply.
That is conscription.
Now if the two forms of service are
made voluntary and the other one
forced? The inference is quite plain
that our makers regard wealth as
more sacred ttnn men: they must not
lay violent hands upon it: they can
only entreat it to come out and help.
1t is also to be noted that our cham =

Dc Senectute in BeIIo.

Having seen in the morning paper Il
piece about slackers or people who
object TO CONSUMPTION. | thought I'd
ask you why you don't join. while YOU
are talking SO brave. AS we have
never had the honor of seeing our
editor we wondered what was the
matter with YOU joining. Perhaps YOU
are too old or you wouldn't be talking
SO bravely.
We take notice that everyone that
believes in CONSUMPTION is either too
old themselves or unfit for service
and have no sons or brothers who
will have TO go.
There is not one drop of German
blood in II one of us and We are not
German sympathiZers. We are young
ladies who do not believe in conscrip-
ton and we don't care to be left in
the country with a pack of old men
and babies Perhaps the old men
think there will be Il good chance for
them when all the young men are
gone and are willing that they should
have to go. But if all the girls are
like we are the old men would all he

you and President Wilson and those
that want CONSUMPTION could go and
fight this battle by themselves.

his mind and he had queer hallucina-

nust go TO Denver and consult a

miscellaneous articles. He was las.
seen Saturday morning about s O'Clock
by Mrs. F. N. Jones at Swfssyale.
just below Weilsville. At that time
he was trudgins slowly down the road.
The guards at the railroad tunnel did
not see him pass their stations and
the deduction is that he was either
pick. d up by some east bound autoist.
or that he has wandered into the hills
and died Of exposure. Being much
emacisted and weakened by his i'll
ness he could not have walked very
far. Diligent search has been made
of the territory between where he
was last seen and Howard but no
trace of him has been found. The au-
thorities and friends OF the family at
Canon City have been making a dill
gent search as he told some one ne
expected 10 go TO Canon City and pick
fruit
Young is man 56 years of age. but
appears much older. He is about 5
feet three inches in height. and will
probably not weigh over 10 pounds.
He has blue eyes. wears moustache,
partly gray. and has very hollow
cheeks. the ravages of consumption
