when we shall beat our swords and
spears into plowshares.
Someone asked me II thought God
is the author of war. No. He Is not.

God saw that the wickedness OF man

talist competitive system and not SOC
ialism. On page 6 Of War Dept.
Document No. 528, issued in 1916, ap-
pears the following statement:
"'When it became evident to our
Military Information Division in 1897
that war was certain to occur be-
tween the United States and Spain,
an attempt vas made to discover, not
only the numbers but the garrisons
of the Spanish army in Cuba.". So
you see, it was certain in 1897" not
in 1898 when the Maine was blown up
that we would have war with Spain.
The war lords knew the year previ-
Gus that war was certain" but did
they tell you so? You were a dead
letter until the pretext ("Remember
the Maine") for wal was found and
then your patriotism was appealed to
just as now. Thousands went to Cuba
and were fed on embalmed beef and
hundreds were killed by this same
beef. Isn't that a marvellous recon-
pense for defending your country?
And what about protecting Ameri-
can lives? There is a wonderful
field here at home to practice that.
31,71O minors lost their lives in soft
coal mines from 1890 to 1918; 1902
we're killed in the hard coal mines
from 1870 to 1913. In Cherry, Ill. 259
were killed at one time because the
mine was operated in violation of law.
About 1000 were killed in the Iro-
quois theatre in Chicago, which was
operated in violation of law. Nearly
1000 went to their death on the East
land in the Chicago river because the
boat was unseaworthy. Over 100
girls were burned to death in the Tri-
angle shirt factory in New York be-
cause the law was violated. Of course
these ruthless sacrifices were all due
to "accidents." That is a very con-
venient word to hide the shame Of the
nation. A postal card referendum
taken by Congressman Warren Worth
Bailey in his district, the 10th Penn
sylvania, has resulted up to February
10 last, in the return of 876 votes. Of
these 1906 are opposed to war and 80
are in favor. Of those opposed, 478
declared in favor of a national ref
erendum on the question. Queer that
the patriotic editors Of the newspa-
pers throughout the country did not
inform the reading public Of this in
teresting bit Of news, isn't it?
