Placina the Blame.

At the door of plutaCracy or "Cap- itaism" the blame for most modern wars has been laid. But the real cul- prits are higher up. II Is true that greed has been grossly present in the inception of each war. and on both sides. but fl has rarely, if eyer, been the original motive force. The dynas- tie machinery plutocraey has utilized, because it stood ready at it's hand.
 T. is true that national ambitions, with the economic Limitations and Instructions hy which nations are hcmmed in. become powerful incen- lives to diScnrd Ii Is equally true that personal ambition and economic embarra ssment often furnish impel- ling incentives to burglary. But there oNistS no logical reason why national diScontent should ripon into war or individual unrest Into robbery. The remedy in either ease if remedy there be must be sought within the bounds of law and order Reciprocity Is the natural cure for national economic ills. The resort to arms for economic T'aSoHS ms liN oIlSIH III tiduiilon anu It's availability lies in the fact that the instruments of dynastic militarism are everywhere within grasp.
 But "big business" has no natural love for war nor for war makers It uses thcm for prospective galn, but even then with miscivingS. Isaac
 Selieman once said "War destroys property bankers do not look with
 favor on destruction of wealth." Capitalism" as it Is called. Is not
 the taproot of evil Its alliance with
 militarIsm persists only so long as Au-

You'd hardly think that Toney Franey would be big enough to be a sergeant But sometimes they pick sergeants because of somethinsg be- side commanding appearance and a loud voice They picked Toney be- cause he is business man and they made supply sergeant of him. And And if you don't think supply ser ,geant has to be darned good busi- ness man, you ask one of them. Toney is smiling as usual. Nobody ever sees Toney without seeing him smile. That's one reason Toney is so popu- lar. When Toney comes homeland it is hoped he will soon-he will take hi sold job again with Franey & Gull pepper.

In q recent afJlcle given 10 the
public. Mr.. Hamlin puts forward
the argument that he should not
be forced, at this time, to spend
money making a canvass, but
should hold over, so that he
would have more money TO give
to the Red Cross.
When you read this remarka-
BILE statement you instinctively
wonder if this is meant for a
joke, or only the feeble pleadings
of small politician, to be con-
tinued indefinitely in Office now
at a time Of all times when the
people should demand a change.
What a stupendous upheaval of
Legislative brains it must have
taken to evolve this remarkable
argument. To what heights Of
craftsmanship does he soar,
when he peers into the dark fu-
ture clouded by war and discov-
ers that he should have an Of
fee paving $75OO.OO per year,
without even making the race
for it, so that he can have more
money for the Red Cross.
With what rapture viii all the
vast brigade Of politicians seize
upon this gem Of craftsmanship,
discovered by our great Con-
gressman of the 7th Missouri
District.
/ 1t never seems to occur to our
statesman, that after all of these
years of drawing a Princely sal
airy and distributing "radish
seed" to the political gardeners,
he should retire and devote his
talents" to the propagating of
some Of the seed that he has SO
faithfully distributed for about
fourteen years.
The people are thinking Of this
solution Of the question If Mr.

The war win end some day
and the statesmen of the world
will sit around the council table
and ask the Kaiser to pay for
some of the deviltry that he has
wrought in Belgium, France,
Serbia, Roumania, Italy, Mon
tenegro, Poland and Russia, and
respected to work in the United
States.
Win a stateman of Mr.. Ham
Inns type Of mind, who made
speeches favOring the Embargo
and opposing the arming of our
ships to resist the attacks of the
Hun pirates, be the man to helr
formulate such treaty? We
