"Safe for Democracy

Just at this time the world is
anxiously inquiring the inward
meaning of President Wilson's
immortal phrase, safe for demo-
cracy."
Just what is safe" and just
what is democracy"
In the first place, safety, while
it must contain the element of
freedom, must NOT grant license.
Safety means security-of the
individual, the group, the COM
munity, the state the nation, the
world securityfrom the FORCE
Full encroachment of others.
It MUST carry with it exemp-
ton from violence.
Likewise, democracy mean
freedom of the individual, the
group, the community, the state,
the nation, the world-freedom
in the enjoyment of life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness.
But freedom, made absolute,
would nullify SAFETY and re-
suit in anarchy. Therefore, free
dom must be founded by equity.
The divine principle of RIGHT
DEGREES that none shall climb to
seccess on tie downfall of an
other. Your urother's unmerited
loss must mo- be your gain. And
this must apply not only to in
dividuals, but to voluntary
groups, communities, states, ma
ticrs II must be worldwide.
Giren a worldwide recognition
o. this prlnclple, we have the es-
sence OF democracy.
When all individuals and groups
shall recognize the RIGHTS of
Other individuals and groups, and
conceGe them, then will the
world be safe for democracy"
If any are inclined to para
phrase plate and ask, what is
Right" we would answer, an
EQUITABLE allotment of the
opportunities of earth and of life.

The Monroe Doctrine

Every now and then we are
met by the criticism that III
entering the European war we
are running counter to the
Monro Doctrine.
These same critics would have
us believe that this country has
entered tbs conflict for the pur-
pose OF Furnishing one set OF
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1917-10-25

belligerents and avenging another
set.
The country should get right
on this matter and forever silence
the tongues of those who by
these arguments would clog the
wheels Of progress at this time.
Taking the latter count first,
this country has no intention OF
Furnishing any nation, nor OF
avenging any. 1t has, however,
a firm determination that the
atrocities visited upon Belgium
and other invaded countries
shall have no chance of a duplica-
tion here.
German apologists seem to
forget that this country had
ample cause for war before war
was declared-cause consisting Of
Germany's aggressions on this
country and on its citizens.
Many innocent American lives
had been sacrificed to her I'M
lawful and outrageous methods,
and many indisnities suffered,
before this country decided to
put a stop to them by force OF
arms.
The wiley plea that we are
going to war to avenge the
wrongs of other peoples will not
avail. Could that be established,
it would really place US in an
unenviable light. 1t would place
us in the attitude of overriding a
principle of action that for more
than a century has been a VERT
able beacon star by which we
have steered our national course
this same Monroe Doctrine.
We listen with horror to a
recital of German atrocities in
Belgium, and u thought that
such might come to our land and
our people will no doubt nerve
the arms of our fighting men.
But these are in no sense the
impelling motive of our action.
That action was prompted by a
condition that had grown intoler-
able a condition of affairs en-
tirely between this country and
that, and having no relation to
the affairs of any other country
or people.
And as the days pass and new
chapters are added to the record
of German intrigue, we can but
marvel that those in authority
in our government held their
hands as long as they did.
President Wilson has stated
the matter clearly-the earth
must be made safe for democracy.
1t most certainly is not so now.

Look! listenl Labor!

We hear a great deal nowadays about
the mighty part which certain indus
tries, professions and callings, incluo-
ing our farmers, our railroad workers,
our mechanics and our housewives are
playing in this war game--a game
hitherto considered as played only by
spread has become this idea that it Is
fostering among the members of these
industries listed as vital, an ohsession
that the simple fact that they are units
OF such organizations places them on
a plane with our fighting men, as re
CARDS their importance in the carrying
on Of the war. Me and Betsy killed
bear" and all that sort OF thing.
We-any of us-no matter what our
occupation, no matter how vital that
Industry to the requirements or this
war, are not making the mighty effort
required of this nation as individuals,
not worthy OF the men who man the
trenches, unless we have increased our
efficiency in our particular line Of en-
deavor.
The farmer who does not increase his
acreage. the mechanic who moves along
wastes food-anyone. whatever their
calling. who has not made an effort
for greater efficiency. increased produc-
ton and greater savinE-have not their
shoulder TO the wheel which will
eventually crush German In!l!tarism.
How can you sit still. brother. sat
isfied with your pre-wartime activities
and SNUG IN the complacency that as
member OF this or that profession
you are doing your bit?
What Is reserve power? Resources
TO be drawn upon In time Of emergency.
Who can say that as nation, as In
dividuals. this Is not our supreme
emergency? Have you a store Of re-
serve power-tap It! II you work with
your brain think harder, II you
work with your feet-walk faster! and
IL your work requires blowing - blow
harder! II you are a farmer-work

II You are a thinker-think harder:

KIDS HAVE NO Sights ATIss WHEEL.

Many automobile owners think that
they are within the Law when they per-
nit children to drive their motor cars
with their parents along but the
amended statute for the regulation OF
motor vshicles contemplates the dan
ser of putting a child behind the
steering wheel OF an engine Of destruc-
ton at any time.
The Thirty Fifth general assembly
amended the motor vehicle law pro-
viding that:
at shall be unlawful for any person
TO cause or permit any motor vehicle
10 be driven Upon any public street
or highway by any person under the
age Of Is years
No exception is mentioned for those
who drive with their parents along.
This means that the parent who per
a7its" q child 10 drive his car may be
fined for the violation. in fact the vio-
la:!on OF law is more in the act OF the
parent than Of the child for the pa
rent should realize the danger and Is
presumed 10 know the law. If an acct
dent should happen It makes the pa
rent and owner OF the car an outlaw
before the Law with no rights Of de-
Tense or OF redress, for he Is on the

The Coal Situation.

The bituminous coal operators and
miners have agreed that the operators
will raise wages to an agreed rate II
tho fuel administrator will allow ~
corresponding advance In prices to
consumers, That has tho appearance OF
a combination against tho fuel admin
istrator as we'll rs against the con-
sumer. For tho fuel administrator has
already fixed "A price FOR coal. and has
given the d!sputants to understand
that they must adjust their differences
within his price, The situation il in
;aE,ssting because wheat and coal are
tina only commodities tho price or
which has been fved Ivy ediet rather
than by agreement There has been
some reduction In the price OF Hour,
and there are increasing hopes OF de-
crease in the price Of bread, On the
other hand, the farmers are not freely
taking the liberal price liked for their
crops and the outlook IS not clear. The
coal situation differs from the food
situation IN that the quantity OF
the crops cannot be altered by the
price his year, whereas the price OF
the relation Of supply and demand. II
there is u shortage OF coal the blame
Will be put ont the price. That the
original price was low appears from
the fact that already the price has been
raised for some producers. The Ques-
ton now arises whether 1t shall be
raised for all. at the cost OF all con-
sumers. There is no reproaoh In the
alteration of a price, In free markets
greater mistake to adhere to wrong
price than TO readjust prices justly.
The whole question Is. what Is a fair
price?
The difficulty in the situation u that
the unions can not control their men.
They were working under an agree
ment running to 1918 when wages were
raised in April. But the revised wage
scale can not hold the men any more
can be TO certainty that another in
crease of pay will hold the men. even
II the agreement passes the admins
traitor. Penalties against the unions
are nothing to the men. The unions
can not make the men work any more
than the operators If better pay is
offered in other trades. The cutting
OF every price is popular except the
cutting OF wages. But unless wages
are limited. at least to the fulfillment
OF wage agreements there can be no
reduction Of prices In anything. 1t is
not even to<the advantage OF labor
