II is a great mistake to delude our
selves with the idea of an early peace
There is only one way TO set peace and
that is to whip the Kaiser and his fol-
lowers to a frazzle, and that is a big
job. The German militarists have no
honor Their word is good for nothing
All their sacred treaties and agree
ments were declared to be mere.'scraps
Of paper" when they decided to break
them and start the war. OF what value
or permanence would peace agree
ment be with those Huns devoid of in
tegrity, dishonorable to the last degree
The Kaiser will beg for peace when he
feels his grip loosened from the throat
OF an outraged world and not before
He will do SO then in an effort to keep
from losing his throne and for no 9TH
er reason. The world can have no as
surance of peace as long as he or his
descendants are rulers. After all the
bloodshed and horror he has brought to.
humanity, what an awful Injustice il
would be to our posterity TO permit him
TO retain his crown. Let's quit talking
about peace. 1t is German scheme to
talk peace in order to divert our
thought from crushing victory and
to slaclxen our speed in the great task
taken up by the United States to make
the world safe for democracy.

We have heard the opinion express
ed several times within the last few
years that the Improvement Of Big
Sandy river would never go farther
than it has already gone The present
critical situation in transportation cir
cles however. promises arouse Con-
gress and the country to the necessity
OF giving the rivers more attention.
The Big Sandy project is along to the
point where four more dams would
reach very considerable coal field 1t
is a good time to urge resumption of
the Improvement. The money already
spent is not well invested if we quit.
Il would be fine investment for the
public If carried far enough TO handle
river shipments OF coal along a route
of several miles. This is entirely prac-
teal now. since the dam below the
mouth of the Big Sandy enables boats
to get out into the Ohio at any time.
The railroads are not able to handle
the business available The c. and o.
discourages new coal operations. They
refuse to set cars, we are told. for new
mines that would open along their line
ON the Big Sandy. They dislike to put
in sidings or to allow them to be put
in They have more business than they
can handle already. without increasing
it, Unless legislation more favorable
to railroad operation and development
is Forthcoming very soon the railroads
are going to drag along at the rear of
the procession as they are at present

fairs Between the unions and the In
