Abandon Tobacco and Liquors

To the Editor of The Tribane.
Sir: | have noticed with satisfaction INV
prominence you have given to the dlseuss'S.
of the present world shortage OF foods'o''
and remedies for IT,
| suggest that if every man, every do''s,
every acre of ground and every other resouie.
of the entire liquor business and the enu,s
tobacco business of this country were promp'y
turned to the production of food We eoup.
take full care of our own needs and those u
cur allies in our great struggle with the Ger
man murderers.
This would be fairly democratic. too, iof -
would hit about every one either on his neSO'
habits or pocketbook, and would so lnereas'

possible. and that the doctrines which they
have accepted through their rulers are al
together false and lead only to disaster.
The German people are hungry, but
they are not hungry enough to overthrow
those who have brought them misery.
They are dissatisfied. but they are not yet
dissatisfied enough to repudiate either
their leaders or the principles which made
Germany predatory state-the princji-
pies on which Prussia was erected.
There will be no peace IN the world as
long as the German people hold the doc
trine that the necessities Of the German
state are above humanity and that there
is no moral law where German appetite
is concerned.
Let us face the fact once for all that
we must smash the German system or the
German system will smash all that we
care for or believe in. Let us recognize that
until the German armies have been de
feated in the field all talk about peace is
sham. unless the Germans are willing to
accept a peace founded on conditions
which concede their own defeat The end
Of this war is in sight, but it is not at
hand. The principles for which Europe
fought and for which we are now to fight
have been only partially vindicated. They
have not been reGstablished. If this war
is to have any harvest of gain to mankind
measurably commensurate with its harvest
q sorrow and suffering and destruction,
it sill be only through a complete Ger
ira defeat.
When Germany begins to talk peace
again every German agency and every
pacifist agency in the United States will
dance in tune. We shall have more Of the
folly, the treachery, the deceit which al
ways accompany a German maneuvre.
We shall have every sort of effort to de-
tach the United States from the anti
German group of nations. We shall have
every effort made to detach Russia, to de
tach France to detach Italy.
German proposals for peace will be hon
est only when they contain that confession
of defeat which comedies to the people of
the rest of Europe and the rest of the
world the right to live their own lives with
out regard to German ambition or German
purpose German proposals for peace will
be honest only when they admit on their
face the complete failure of the German
ambition to dominate the world and to
shepherd the inferior" peoples under the
iron rule of the Prussian drillmaster.
No American should be deceived by any
proposal Of peace that comes from a Ger
many still engaged in the work of murder,
rapine and ruin in Northern France and
upon the high seas. 1t is a hopeful sign
when Germany talks peace; but it is only
Q hopeful sign for those who are fighting
her, and they will interpret it as promise
Of victory and an incentive to fight harder.

Al Island Screen For Canal.

Americas purchase of the
Danish West Indies was very
opportune. for it means that
there is now a semi.circle Of
islands, stretching from the
coast Of Mexico to Trinidad,
which forms a perfect screen for
the Panama canal. Including
Cuba, each of the islands is in
the han1s of one OF the allies,
with the exception Of Haiti, and
even this may be Chased az

impossible for q navigator to

If you already have capital,

+ in times of greater need. If
you have none. you can acquire
It by the same means.
Your whole mind need not be

uoon the pursuit of wealth.
Tnere are other things in life as
desirable as making money.
Nevertheless. it is right for
you to be as careful Of your ex-

Youth is emphatically the time
to begin to save. but it is never
to- late to start.
Indeed. the main object Of
saving in early life is not so
much the actual amount saved,
but it is the foundation of the
habit of economy.

The Marion City sen O!S VIII
open rext Mo-day mCr; ing,
September 10. The opening ex-
ercises will take place in the
School Auditorium at $50 o'clock.
All patrons and citizens are cor
daily invited to be present.
Pupils are asked to be present
by $50 in order that the work of
organization may be promptly
completed. Let every one inter-
ested in better schools in Marion
and Critterden County be pre-
sent.
The prospects for good Open
ing and successful session are
very bright. The enrolment
promises to be quite large, even
larger than last sessions record
enrolment. Workmen are rapi-
dly completing repairs on the
new school property and the
school building is being thorough
cleaned so that everything will
be in readiness for beginning
work work which is the mtst
important for the community.
None will deny that the training
of future citizens is the most
important task of a community.
Naturally We were much dis
appointed at not being able to
erect our ney High School Build.
ing, but war prices made that
practically impossible. But the
addition of the Hodges properly
to our school property will give
US more play ground and school
room space, so that we shall be
much more comfortably prov ded
for as to room.
We have heard a few senti.
fments expressed that we shall
not be able to put as much az.
tention, interest and money into
school matters during these w r
times as formerly. We are glad
they are few. We have studied
conditions closely and see 10 hing
to hinder or halt school progress,
but on the other hand we see
much that demands more atten-
ton, interest and support for the
schools. We in America do not
educate fer war, but now that
we have been drawn into war
for humanity on the side OF
liberty and justice, the need of
education from the standpoint
of rational power and efficiency
is many fold greater. Even in
reace times the need for educa.
ton has been greater than VT
have let ourselves admit end
greater than we have been will
to pay for. So let US rally to the
support of the school especially
at this time ard train the youth
Of our land both for conditions
of war and conditions of peace.
The world will be different aft.l
this war and more and better
education will be needed to meet
the new problems that will sure
ly arise. We in Marion will moi
be slackers.
The mail that we are daily re.
ceiving indicates that the mum.
Der of County High School pupils
will be greater than ever before.
We are glad to note this increas.
, ed interest, it is a sign of great
progress. We welcome these
pupils and want them to fee
free to call on US at any time fol
assistance.
Please remember the day. the
hour and the place. Come.
