MONDAY. NOVEMBER II. 1918
A BETTER WORLD AHEAD.

This war must bring to permanent
reality n vision of a better world, or
the price paid to save civilization will
have been excessive. The world may
he Weather under after war condi-
tons and the wealth may be better
distributed, but these will not neces-
sarily make n better world.
Civilization is the distribution OF
IDEAS, not the distribution of wealth.
Civilization is the common vision.
Let us consider an illustration at
home. Since the coming of state
hood the wealth of New Mexico has
increased greatly judged by bank de.
posts, hut a better measure of our
progress is our vastly improved sys-
TEN of public education. The adj
vance in New Mexico's schools has
been marvellous, and the people have
come to understand that education
means real progress.
But let us return to the broader
aspect. When the world is well
ruled, the waste places of mesopota-
mia that over supported a dense pop
ulation will bloom and fruit again.
Siberia will become one of the worlds
granaIies and China, when tens of
millions of people are always near
starvation, will produce as America
produces. But this added wealth may
not make the world greatly better.
Heather peoples are poor mentally
and spiritually, because they are poor
on the inside. Socialism offers its
vision-an equal sharing of property
between men. But all the while So
cialism makes property the highest
good This program is eternally inn
possible; because as long as the vision
does not make brotherly love higher
good than divided property, property
will be grabbed and heaped in unholy
heaps, as it always has been.
Materalism has had solar plexusI
blow delivered in this war Germany
made Might--spelled with a capital
M-her Colt. Love and mercy were
weakness. Success for the blond SUI
permen lay in the heavier cannon, the
greater number Of machine guns,
masters of air, the ruthless use of the
submarine employment of poison gas
and liquid fire and the distribution of
disease germs. Let us remember that
we have the official record of Ger
many's employment of disease germs
against the people she would con-
quer.
In that gross materialism, the Ger
man soldier was prevented, il not COM
manded by his higher officers, to tor
ture women and young girls and mu-
tilate boys and murder old men. By
official order tens of thousands of
young girls were carried into slavery
where, in addition to their work they
were subjected to the unrestrained
lust of the German men. This wasI
all part of the worship of material
ism.
But the spiritual forces, REPRESENT
ed by the best in French. British,
American and Italian civilization
have won and the thought of theI
world will be sweeter, the hope of the
world will be saner the heart of the
world win be purer, because of this
war.
