A FOR LAME DUCK

II looks as though Senator Hollis
Of New Hampshire, one of the two
Democratic Senators from New En-
gland, is taking early steps to pro-
vide a soft berth into which he may
fall when he is defeated at the cleo
tion in the fall of 1918. He has in
troduced a bill proposing the ap-
pointment of an additional circuit
Judge for the first judicial circuit,
which includes New Hampshire. By
adroit management, of which Mr..
Hollis is quite capable, the bill may
easily be delayed, and become a law
only a short time before the ad-
journment of this congress March
4, 1919. What more natural than
that the President should present
this additional judgeship to his faith
full lieutenant who rendered such
yeoman service at the Democratic
western headquarters at Chicago

WORKED 1T OUT HIMSELF

After all, the ordinary citizen
knows more than his self-appointed
advisors. Immediately after the u
nited States went into war. a num-
Der of people took it upon them
selves to urge everybody, everywhere
other people started a movement for
business as usual. In the mean
time the common citizen went about
his business, neither making a
specially of economizing nor trying
10 do business as usual, but ad-
justing himself to the unusual con-
ditions and economizing in a rea-
sonable n where changed Cir
cumstances required. The "compo-
site citizen" is a pretty level-headed
individual.

DR.. Smaller Matthews, dean Of the
University of Chicago, has enumer-
ated the three basic eason why
America is in the war. They are:

truction of property here in the
United States, and by wanton sink
ing of our ships at sea, Germany
has invaded America as Enthusiastically
as if a German army had landed on
our costs.
2. This invading army must be
whipped on European soil or he will
have to be fought on our own soil.
3. Failure to beat him down over

COUNTRY WITHOUT HONOR
UNABLE TO MAKE TREATIES

Reasons why it would be unsafe
for the United States and its allies
to accept the Pope's peace proposals
are made plain in the following
powerful editorial from the Wash
ington Post"
The basis Of the Vatican's peace
Proposal is restoration OF the status
quo ante bellum; a turning backward
TO the conditions of July, 1914. Now
that is an impossibility, for this rea-
SON: In July, 1914, the German gov
eminent had not destroyed its stand
ing among nations as an honorable
government, %scrupulous in adherence
to the Obligations of humanity and
treaty engagements. At this time
Germany has no honor. She cannot
restore her honor. She cannot re-
turn to the status quo ante. Inc
other nations, Germany's allies and
enemies, cannot restore Germanys
honor. There is nothing, therefore,
to give the world any assurance of
safety, no matter what the peace
terms might be. Who would believe
Germany if she should profess con-
triton? What nation would demo-
bilize and subject itself to a treach-
erous assault by Germany? Ger
many has taught the world that she
cannot be trusted. The combined
world, therefore. is engaged in the
task Of forging chains that will keep
Germany from numbering her neigh
bors.
Savage at Heart
a. ar hne hnan the Dr.
struction of human life by Germany's
war machine, the most effective, far
reaching, fatal piece of destruction
accomplished by Germany was when
she destroyed her own honor. From
the hour when the world, aghast,
discovered that in the twentieth CEN
fury a nation abreast Of science was
a savage at heart, a t~reacherous and
murderous savage, there has been
but one possible end of the war.
That end is the claiming of the saw
age. Peace conferences with a liar !
Solemn written proposals, with the
idea of drawing up a binding agree
mcnt with a set of savages who do
not know the meaning of truth, OF
binding agreement, or honor! A
10 prevent tut hIilhlS VI
natives of India by entering >into
protocols with the man-eating tigers
is exactly on a par with treaty-mak-
ing with the German government.
Brute Must Be Chained
at will be asked, if Germany is
incapable of entering into a binding
agreement, how RS any peace treaty
TO be made with her in the end? The
answer is that peace must be en-
upon Germany. 1t must be
made upon the terms imposed by
civilization. 1t need not be a treaty
with Germany; but if it should be,
civilization will see that the written
of Germany is secured by a
hahn around Gcrmany's neck.
"'Never again, is the fixed resolve
IF civilization. Having felt the fangs
IF the beast, and having painfully
the means to shackle him,
civilization will moi let him slip.
Humanity shares with Pope Be-
,edict the feeling Of horror over
UGH %bloodshed and desolation. 1t
S to put a stop to it, forever, that
humanity refuses to compromise
With the German murder system"

SLACKERISM, WORST KIND

OF all the slackers under the
Stars and Stripes the most ccnsur-
able are those who received training
government expense, later resigned
at West Point or Annapolis, at
and now fail to respond to their
country's need. There has always
been an excessive demand for APP
pointments to the Military and Nav
al Academies, Every man who re-
ceived an appointment kept out some
other aspirant. He who fails to de-
vote his training to the service of
his country now is in the position
of having kept some patriot out of
the academies and thus deprived the
nation of the help of a trained SOL
der at a time when trained men
are most needed.

The School And The Nation

The people of France realize that
the future of the nation depends up
on the educating of today's boys and
girls. Stories from near the front
tell of schools being kept, even in
regions where children must be pro-
vided with gas masks against possible
air attacks. Leaders throughout the
country are appealing to American
mothers and fathers to keep their
children in school, from the grades
through college, just as long as is
possible for them to do so.

describing the wonderful currents of

So far as the records show, the
retailers of coal in New Mexico have
been taking away more money for
their part of the distribution than
the producer and the railroads did
for digging the coal and delivering
it to the retailer. There may be
another man in the game, however,
and it is best to await the develop
ments before passing judgment.

Thousands of ~able-bodied men in
free America are trying to bolster
up flimsy claims for exemption from
military service. In darkest Russia,
where German influence and German
money have brought about a tenn
porary collapse of the great often
sive which the Russian armies we're
conducting, women have stepped in
to the breach and are rendering mill
tary service of the highest value.
Marie Bochkareva, a peasant girl,
is the organizer and commander of
the battalion of women which is
known as the Legion OF Death"
Their badge is made of skull and
cross bones and their regimental
colors are red and black, symbolic
ing blood and death. The bravery
of these women on the battle lines
has been of so high an order as te
strike terror into the hearts of the
gion OF Death" fought with one of
the regiments of men for a long
while before she was selected for
this high command. Thrice wound
ed, she has received two medals of
St. George and two crosses of St.
George for various feats of valor.
Meanwhile, women in highly-en-
lightened America have been picket
ing the White House and trying by
every means that they could devise
to block the progress of the federal
government in carrying out its pro-
gram to get ready to crush the Ger
beast. The argument would
moi seem to be very strong in favor
of enlightenment and culture. Forum
ately such American women are in
the minority, and their conduct is
frowned upon by all loyal American
women.
