Swedish Matches Appear
After Three-Year Absence

+ Importations of Swedish I'M
pregnated matches, or "Tandstick-
ors," the kind which sell for a
penny box, and which have been
strangers to America for nearly
three years, have again begun.
During the submarine menace and
the blockade these matches could
not be purchased in this country,
and the Japanese substitutes, with
their camouhage labels, but with
well known legend, Made in Nip
pom had a practical monopoly.

CELEBRATION AND NOISE.

We are great noise-making ma
ton. One would have thought that
the bedlam of Thursday a week ago
would have exhausted all possibilities
of further noise when the official re-
port of the cessation of hostilities
reached u.s. But not So There was
the same supply of it, the same en-
thusiasm and zeal in it's production.
OF course, it was all innocent and
harmless, and gave evidence of the
intoxication of JOY with which Amer
ica's youth received the glad tidings.
Still, we should have preferred more
quiet and dignified mode of celebra-
ton, some impressive parades with
some real music on the streets, some
great popular gatherings in the public
squares and parks with enthusiastic
oratory and music especially on Mon
day, under the sunny sky, and in the
balmy air. But then, making is
our usual mode of celebration mat
ter of tradition, as is annually demon
strated by Our Fourth of July and
New Years eve jubilations. It is our
heritage from the real natives of this
land, our Indian predecessors.

THE WAR IS OVER.

Yes, the war is over, thank God.
True, it is only an armistice, tenn
porary truce; but there can be no
more fighting after this. The enemy's
fangs have been drawn. He can do
no further harm.
OF course, there remains a great
deal yet to be done before the world
can settle down to its normal course.
Besides che all important matter of the
reconstruction of the political and
economic international relations, and
the readjustment of the internal in
dustrial and economic conditions of all
the belligerent nations, there is the
matter of ferreting out the really gull
ty parties that have brought on the
great catastrophe of the war. The
masses of the nations were driven
into it like dumb cattle, as the masses
always are. The guilty parties were
those higher up, those at the helm of
government And humanity's sense of
Justice will not be satisfied until these
are found ard properly punished.

IS PEACE REALLY IN SIGHT?
November IS, 1918.

IS PEACE REALLY IN SIGHT?
The war waged for nearly four and
half years with Germany and her
satellites is over But is peace really
in sight? Is there not perhaps still
bloodier armageddon in store for hui
mainly? In Russia the Bo1sheviki are
still in power, and partly in control, if
there is any control at all there The
factions are fighting and butchering
each other, and foreign powers are
taking hard, and are probably pre-
pairing to do SO more vigorously, in
order to establish order in that chaos
and we1ter. The parts into which
Austria is being decomposed, are, or
at least will, following the example
of the Czech Slovaks, organize them
selves as socialist republics In Ger
many, too, the Social Democrats are
at present in control, and the govern
ment apparently is in the hands of
soviets, exactly as IT. Russia. The in
evitable clash with the bourgeosie will
follow. The present scenes in Russia
may be reproduced in Germany.
How are the nations of the Entente
going to deal with these new socialis-
tic states? Will the socialist propa-
ganda be confined there, stop at the
Rhine and the Alps, or will it sweep
over these borders and spread over
larger areas? How will it be dealt
with in France, England, Italy, Amer
lea? Will there be sanity and moder-
alton in the two camps that will be
arrayed against each other in every
country, resulting in moderate meas
ures, reform by slow steps, policies
of give and take? Or will the confu-
sion, chaos, and terror of Russia
manifest themselves everywhere else
where social reconstruction becomes
necessary?
These are troublesome questions
that force themselves upon the mind,
as we contemplate the recent develop
ments resulting from the war. Wise
craftsmanship and leadership may per-
haps guide the nations safely thru the
great crises that will confront them
Blind and stupid leadership will bring
greater tribulatiors upon the world
that any it has heretofore experienced
And so we ask ourselves again: Is
peace really in sight?
