WHAT SHALL 1T PROFIT A CITY?

The city of Spokane recently ad-
vertised and held big three days
peace celebration. Thousands of
people were induced to come in from
the surrounding towns and country
to mingle in the great throngs, pack
the hotels, stores and theatres and
incidentally, leave behind them a
considerable amount of cash. At the
time the Spanish influenza epidemic
was still so prevalent in Spokane and
other parts of the Inland Empire as
to be a serious menace to health and
warning that crowds are the surest
disseminators of the disease, but
with full knowledge of the risk,
the business men of Spokane in their
desire to reap a harvest of sheckles,
did not hesitate to encourage the as
sembling of crowds, not for a few
minutes in the open air, but for three
days in rooms and stores and Hobbies
and dance halls.
Now the almost inevitable result
has followed. The epidemic which
was subsiding has burst out again
with renewed vigor, not only in Spo-
kane but in most of the communi-
ties represented at the peace celebra-
ton, and is exacting its heavy toll
of death and suffering and sorrow.
The ban has been clapped on again,
80 modified as to interfere as little
as possible with the holiday trade OF
the Spokane money chasers, who
seem to value business more highly
than health and profits more highly
than lives. All of which prompts the
inquiry:
What shall it profit city to reap
a harvest of dollars and SOW crop
of disease and death?

some men to form an organization to
maintain peace, if one or all of them
insisted that it would be necessary to
be constantly armed to the teeth in
order to enforce the rules of the Or
ganizatiOn. 1t would be equally ri
diculous to form such an organiza-
tion if each individual retained the
right to withdraw whenever he be-
came dissatisfied with its policy. I'm
less the nations of the world are
ready to reduce their military and
naval establishments to the minimum
point necessary to maintain law and
order within their own boundaries, to
make preparation for w&ging war a
difficult and expensive task, the or
ganization of league to enforce
peace among them would be a farce
The world wants permanent peace
and if that good can be attained with
less friction and surer prospects OF
success by the formation of two
leagues, one to enforce peace in the
eastern hemisphere and one in the
western, the twin leagues should be
organized instead of one.

Unable to get response from the
automobile owners of Pullman to the
Salute and Ride" proposal, members
of the college S. A I. G. Tuesday
evening took the matter into their
own hands and bedecked all the au-
tomobiles standing on the streets
with the signs, unbeknown to the
owners. The windows OF vacant
rooms on Main street were placarded
with such pertinent phrases as
wake up, Pullman, Where's your
patriotism ?" You owe it to the
boys" and others equally as appli-
cable. Under these legends were
pasted copies of the Salute and
Ride signs, with an appeal to the
auto owners to secure the signs and
help break the monotony of military
life for the boys of the S. A. T. G.
No more singing rebuke could
have been melted out to the car own
ers of Pullman, but the circum-
stances fully warranted the action
taken by the soldiers. The matter
of giving the boys a ride when an
empty seat was available was first
proposed by DR.. e. A. Archer before
the chamber of commerce, several
months ago. At that time The Her
aid offered to provide the signs free
of charge to all applicants, but none
came.
Later the training attachments
grew into the S. A. T. C. with it's
1900 soldier-students. Still there
was no evidence of an inclination on
the part of the Pullman AUTOMOBILE
lists to follow the example of hun
dreds of other communities, honored
with the presence of soldiers, and
help the boys while away their leis-
ure hours, though the demand was
much more imperative than before.
AS a court of last resort the S. A.
T. G.. newspaper, Pull Men" took up
the cudgels in behalf of the soldiers
and had a large quantity Of the signs
printed Wide publicity was given
to the matter and the automobile
owners were asked to call for the
signs and help the boys dispel home
sickness and restlessness. Two pa
triotic citizens asked for signs. 9th
er than these there was absolutely no
response, and finally the soldiers, in
spirit of rebuke, placed the signs
on the machines themselves.
Pullman passed up one grand OPP
portunity to minister to the pleasure
of her 1900 soldiers, whose stay here
perchance "held less joy for want OF
human sympathy" This lack Of in
terest will not soon be forgotten by
the soldiers, whe Will scatter within
the next week to I'll parts or the
state, and the finger of criticism may
be pointed to the auto owners OF
Pullman from many directions.
wake up, Pullman! Where's
your patriotism

WHY NOT TWIN LEAGUES?

A great many people believe that
one result of the war should be the
organization of league of nations
70 enforce peace. Others object to
having the United States join such a
eague on the grounds that it would
lorce this nation to take part in all
lhe disputes between European pow
ers and would entail the abandon
nent of the Monroe doctrine by Civ
ING to European powers a voice in
he settlement of disputes between
Iae nations of this continent.
Nearly everyone, except the advo-
eates of militarism and the believers
10 the discredited theory that prepar-
edness is the best preventative of
var, agree that some plan must be
worked out to prepare for the set
uement of future international dis
pates by arbitration, instead of by
lOrce of arms, and that in this plan
provision must be made for the en-
lorcement of the findings of the court
VI arbitration. On the other hand
Tue arguments that the United States
ought not to become party to Euro
pean disputes nor to allow the Euro
pean powers to interfere in the do
nestle troubles of the western hemi-
sphere have merit and are worthy of
@reful consideration.
Why could not the great result
sought be attained and the weight
sSt objections eliminated by the or
sahlzation of two leagues of nations
70 enforce peace, one of the eastern
And one in the western hemisphere,
WIN a definite agreement between
'aem that both should discourage
war by prohibiting preparation for
war on the part of any nation? This
pan would not embroil the United
''ates in the quarrels of Europe, nor
eNe the European powers a voice in
ne settlement of disputes between
ne countries of the western hemi-
sphre.
II Is very evident that the surest
way of preventing war is by elimin-
sung the militaristic spirit, by en-
'Oaraging nations, like individuals,
" settle their disputes in court, IN
''ead OF with fists. knives or guns. II
'oald be folly for q lot OF quarrel
=
