ing been considerably delayed because
of the publication of centennial pro

AN UNScRiPTURAL DOCTRINE.

War is at our door, and this fact
impels us to remark that those ex-
tremely pious pactfists who look with
such horror upon it, and who regard
the word Soldier as synonymous with
Satan, should read their Bible little
more understandingly
Nowhere within its covers is the
Christian compared to the mollycoddle
or the milksop, but always to the brave
and trained soldier. In fact, from
beginning to end of the Scriptures the
efficient servant of the Most High is
not only likened to a soldier, but is
declared to BE a soldier of the Lord
Even Moses, the type and pattern of
meakness, trained and disciplined an
army that later, under command, Of
his lieutenant, Joshua, conquered a
great people and won a home for a
nation,
The peace-at-any-price and swat-the.
other.cheek pacifist will have to re.
write the Scriptures before he can
reconcile his policies with the plain
word of God Almighty Himself

ARKANSAS A MODEL.
(Woman's World.)

Have you noticed how jubilant the
press of Arkansas Is over the dignity
that the Legislature has conferred upon
the women OF that state by giving
them the right to vote in primary
elections? The Arkansas man is the
real thing in chivalry and not merely
a braggart He doesn't bow and
scrape in a manner flattering to him
self, and that shows him off to per.
sonal advantage, but he makes women
equal participants In government and
its dignties. Other states are con-
templatively regarding the Arkansas
precedent. The Sandhill Citizen OF
Southern Pines, North Carolina says
editorially;
Arkansas has found rather unique
way to bestow practical suffrage upon
ts women which withholding real
suffrage. II has enacted a law allow.
ing women to vote in all primary elec.
lions At first glance doesn't seem
to matter much, but wait. In Arkan.
sas as In most southern states cleo.
tions really are settled at the pri.
maries and the election Is simply a
ratification of the doings of the pri.
inaries, owing to the fact that to all
intents and purposes there is but one
political party In the state.

ITO HELL WITH THE PEOPLE"

We are not mincing words in this
article, but are stating facts exactly
as we see them, without fear or favor
ITO hell with the people" seems to
be about the attitude OF both labor and
capital. And. being Of the people our.
self. we object.
By the skin OF our teeth we have
just missed a disastrous railroad
strike-missed II because the rail
roads themselves bowed to the de-
mands of the brotherhoods as the
country totters on the brink OF actual
war.
The railroad executives declared
they would fight to a finish before
they would surrender 70 the demands
of the brotherhoods. In turn the broth
erhood chiefs swOre they would para
ly7e the railroads of the country in
order to win their point.
In vain did the press and people Of
the country urge mediation, compro-
mise, postponement, anything to avoid
the calamity of strike. But the plead
ings of the people, the prospect of un-
told suffering even the national dan
ger itself fell upon deaf ears.
1t was a case Of ito hell with the
people," with both sides joining in the
chorus.
But when the emissaries OF the pres.
ident OF the United States disclosed
the national peril to the contestants,
the railroad presidents threw up their
hands and granted the demands of the
brotherhoods, granted them because
they knew the government would seize
and operate the roads if they did not
grant them.
1t will cost the railroads approx
mately $1OO,OOO,OOO a year, but this
will not come out of the pockets of
the railroad corporations. No, indeed!
The people themselves will pay the
freight in the shape of increased
charges on their freight
We are not champiOning the cause
+ CT the railroads, nor are we pleading
the cause Of the brotherhoods, but we
ARE asking for justice for the people,
for those who foot the 800, 900
bill But where that justice is coming
from we don't know
Everywhere we turn it seems to be
just a plain case of ''to hell with the
people"
Capital disregards them, labor dis
regards them, and even congress dis
regards them-after the vote is cast.
Prices are. mounting up by leaps and
bounds. Living conditions are becom-
ing intolerable, and no one seems able
