viii certainly not elevate them in pub
lic esteem. But perhaps their feelings
are ''the public be damned" If they
would rather afford their retained at
torneys little exercise than to retain
the good opinion of the general public,
then that is their own affair.
However, the general public is in
terested in the lead companies being
compelled to pay every penny of the
taxes that have been assessed against
them, which assessment is doubtless
correct and just in every respect.
Litigation will of necessity cause de-

County Collector Croke, but they will

The total amount of taxes that the
lead companies have refused to pay

We progressives who are weary of
war and oppression are going to start
the new year with a war on war; we
are goingto start it with an effort to
put right above might and the inter-
ests of mankind above the selfish in

or dynasty or nation or class. Wea

the flower of humanity will grow and
flourish on the blood-stained earth.

reason for such action, 80 we are in

the purpose of the companies. their at

M, I took the. Burlington from St.
Louis to Colorado, going through
Hannibal, Liberty and arrived in Kan
sas City on the 9th, at s A. M. I saw
some fine farming country in north
Missouri as went up the Missouri
River to st. Joe and crossed over in
to Nebraska at Great Falls. There /
saw some good farming country, but
it was struck by the drouth, and the
corn looked light. AS it was getting
late and night came on took my
nights rest. The next morning at
break of day I found myself speeding
westward in the parties of Colorado.
And as the train varied little south
with about one inch of snow on the
ground and the skies clear, I looked
back eastward at the rising sun. 1t
seemed to me to be the most beauti-
full sight had ever seen. There was
nothing in the the way. then
thought OF the stories I had read of
the West. And as we drifted on
now and then you would see little
farm house, herd of cattle and oc-
casionally tree which had been set
out.
And about 1900 A. NJ, on the morn
ing of the 10th I looked westward,
and, behold, discovered something
in the far distance that looked like
a bank of white clouds. I watched
it very closely as I was wanting to
see all I could. Pretty soon it ap-
peared and it was the snow capped
mountains, up in the Rockies. They
we're about so or rs miles away.
arrived in Denver at 7:45 A. M,
Sunday. I didn't get to view the city
any, as I only had twenty minutes to
catch the train.
took the Colorado & Southern and
started north. Pretty soon / found
myself gliding along at the foothills
OF the Rockies. The sun was shining
bright; it was beautiful sight to look
upon. / went through Boulder at the
foot of the hills, which is one of the
prettiest towns I ever saw. Next
came to Long Mont and looking
west from there you could see what
is known as "Long Peak" which is
claimed to be as high, or perhaps
higher, than Pixies Peak. I think it is
1920 feet high, and as moved on I
moved on would see great dumps Of
sugar beets. This is in the sugar beet
section. The largest beet dump saw
was estimated to be 400 feet long, $50
feet wide, 8 feet high.
We changed engines at Fort Col-
Inns. We were there fifteen minutes.
l saw great many men with the
white broad brimmed hats, dressed
cowboy style.

and was met at the train by ]. H.
Martin, Q son Of Elder r.. O. Martin,
OF Pennington, Mo-, whom had
never met before. He has been here
twenty three years, but he has the

home where I took dinner, and was
glad to get 1t, for was getting pretty
hungry. After easing our dinner and

Dear Father-SorrY have been SO

signed, but we have been moving
right along sometimes we get to ride
in trucks. Just had a 25-mile ride
last night, landed in a real nice little
city. 1t is cloudy and foggy this
morning. And it is now $3.50, and the
fog has settled some. Only one-half
mile away beyond river can see a
mountain piercing the fog; well, the
mountain is in Germany, but I'm not.
I think we move again soon.

papers that our Division (the S9th) is

Gee, it was great to have it stop so

I haven't heard from Oscar since
the 21st of October. I hope he did
not have to go to the front in that last
big drive. / suppose you have heard
from him since that time. He might

A New Era.
fst, Louis Post-Dispatch.


In his speech to the Society of Arts
and Sciences Senator Reed scorned
the idea of league of nations to
guarantee peace as chimerical
dream in sinful world.
SIT is sort of international mutual
admiration society, with the Sermon
on the Mount for a constitution and
the Apostolic Creed for guide" he
says. "Gentle love with q golden
scepter is to rule the human heart"
The Sermon on the Mount would
be an excellent constitution for man
kind. We might not be able to live
up to it. We are not able to live up
to constitutions of lesser merit, but
we do not for that reason throw over
all constitutions and cease trying to
enforce any fundamental law which
protects human rights and pro notes
human happiness.
The Apostolic Creed is not to be
sneered away as guide to righteous
human conduct because men who
profess do not always follow it. The
creed has helped multitudes to find q
right path.
The rule of love is not thing to be
repudiated as jest and mockery in
world of sin. 1t is superb ideal
an excellent goal to strive for, because
if the evil in the world is ever to be
overcome, it must be conquered by
the substitution of love and good
will for greed and hate.
Does Senator Reed mean to argue
that because there is evil in the world
we ought to submit to its power and
not strive to overcome it with good?
Shall we helplessly subject ourselves
to the power OF evil, or shall we strive
to attain the good-strive to better
our standards of thought and con-
science and conduct? Shall we wall
low in sin or try to rise above the
mire of brutal selfishness? Is man
irredeemable and Righteousness unat-
tainable2 Are we without hope in
the world?
We are taking Senator Reeds silly
sarcasm too seriously, but it.serves to
call attention to the logic of his ar
gument, which would destroy all ef-
fort to raise the standard OF civiliza-
tion and improve international re-
lationships and conduct. No one ex-
poets to abolish evil and attain per-
fection at one stroke or ten strokes,
but we can move forward and
upward. We can strive for that
fair dealing and good will between
nations, as between individuals,
which is the goal of human aspiratio n
and toll. We may approach the noble
ideals the Senator scorns as unattain-
able and thus not wait to find heaven
in another world, but obtain taste oi
heaven on earth, which is the ardent
hope of mankind and "a consum ma
ton devoutly to be wished"
We are willing to let Senator Reed
and his fellow cynics forego heaven
until they die, but we purpose tt
work for as much as we can get be-
fore death and we warn them not K

1t has recently been discovered that
gum lumber when immersed in pure
gummed spirits of turpentine lasts
many years longer when exposed to

ings and allow it to thoroughly dry
after each one.
