CONDEMNS GERMAN POLICY
Praises Democratic Doctrines

n The Doctrine of the State
/ American VS.. German" was analyz-
ed by DR. Hugh Black before a
large audience in Broadway Pres
byterian church, fast night, this
having been the second of a series
of lectures under auspices of Rock
Island and Moline churches cooper
ating.
DR. Black set forth two PROPOSE
tinns:
First-AIl true ethics must be
founded upon doctrine; if not, it
becomes mere expediency.
Second All doctrine must he
Judged by its ethics; if not, it be
comes hard and cruel, unrelated TO
life.
The German doctrine" said the
speaker, lis that the individual eX
lists for the state. The state de-
cides everything and is supreme lin
its power. A good German gives
cover his conscience to the state.
because the state is above all eth
les. and, as the German said,
When war begins. ethics end
- DR.. Black said this doctrine was
logical and deceptive and that there
is much truth in it; that it makes
for discipline and unselfish service.
He said that it gives motive for the
average man and means emotional
uplift, because man is the agent of
the state, but that the Germans did
not see that It is a mere abstrac-
ton and that it is useful to junkeTs
and kaisers, and tends towards
miIltarism.
over and against that" said
the speaker lis our American and
English aud democratic doctrine OF
the state. namely. that the state
exists for the individual. This doc
trine has been stated as pure indi
vidualism, and, therefore seems
weak as opposed to others. Yet. it
is the fundamentally true doctrine
and the only one that can guard the
rights of man and keep the moral
life of men and nations untainted.
Interpreted Falsely.
AT the same time. We have Oft
On interpreted our American doc
trine falsely. and even before the
war we were saying the state had
no more power than mere po-
lice function. II we change the
word individual into the word per-
son we will be able to hold our |
doctrine of the state, confident !
that man is a social and political |
being and that the state exists not !
for the person, but for the whole
man. and because of this, that the !
state has a right TO interfere and !
take the soldier from the home in |,
the interest of the person and |
true liberty for ourselves and 9TH
ers.
This Is the only safe doctrine Of
the state, that it is not above ethics
and it is this that justifies the great
American experiment of founding q
state whose aim is life. liberty and
pursuit Of happiness for all mem
bers of the state.
We do not give our consciences
over to the state. and if need be,
we must obey God rather than man
II Lne state puts itself above ethics
and defies itself in the name OF
brute force, then in the name of
the soul of man we must smash it
as Ne have smashed Prussian ty-
ranny.
America and her allies have
been doing battle as OF old fox

mental issue Of the world today"

 WONDERFUL CLOCK

In the observatory of the Nichols Academy at Dudley, Mass, is the most wonderful clock in the entire United States and very probably in the world. It is the kind of a clock that tells time three ways, and it's always right. If the sun should be one second slow in rising tomorrow morning the clock would register a black mark against the orb of day and would tick it's peculiar record in spite of the sun.
 It is called a right ascension clock and it can do almost anything that a skilled astronomer can do. It cost nearly $20,OOO. The designer and maker of this clock was a widely known genius, as well as a skilful as- tronomer and first-class clockmaker, and the sidereal clock was the prized masterpiece of his life. He was 8 master at making astronomical clocks that register time so closely that aft CT 100 years of steady running they will record the infinitesimal change in time caused by a century of rota- ton.
 This clock was a gift to the Nichols Academy from Hezekiah Conant, z native son of Dudley, who made : fortune manufacturing thread. Ht had three things to his credit tha are mentioned these days, the frs daily paper ever printed in Worces ter. the most wonderful clock in tn, world and the first Dudley man tt make S1,OO0,OO0.
 The observatory containing thi | clock is the most complete of an! l outside Harvard in this state.

FURTHER DISCUSSION
 ON RUSSIAN QUESTION
tContinued From Page one.) |.

(Continued From Page One.)
 Paris, Jan. 21-Owing to pressure of more urgent problems before dele 5ates to the Peace Congress. various economic delegations are studying, | each for itself, the blockade and kii-- dred problems.
 They will probably inaugurate joint discussions during the coming week.
 The American viewpoint conten plates certain relaxation of the earlier "water-tight" blockade which would allow the entry of foodstuffs, lubricants and other materials into enemy countries. This, 1t Is held, would permit the restoration of dis tributing systems, flour mills and oth- CT agencies involved in the prepara- ton of food supplies. The block ade, however, would otherwise be en- forced as rigidly as ever because of its value as a weapon to force the enemy to accept the peace terms that will be presented.
 The relaxation of the blockade as 1 regards foodstuffs is already effective | in the former Hapsburg domains. | Food is being sent into Vienna as well as to liberated regions and will | be supplied to Germany under the terms of the armisdce extension agreement signed at Treves last Fri day.
 American experts are said to be-
 lieve that Babbitt metal for bear
 ings, lubricants, repair parts for To-
 comotives and flour mills and other
 articles fall in virtually the same
 category as foodstuffs, since it is ob-
 vious that enemy countries have no | adequate facilities for milling flour
 and distributing food after it Is i'm
 ported.
 Some American economic experts advocate for enemy countries, at least Austria Hungary, and possibly Ger many, a further relaxation of the
 blockade to permit the importation Of limited quantities of raw materials These imports, however, would not be
 enough to permit the Central Powers ! to resume international commercial competition while the Allied countries
 are still laboring under the handicap of the devastation of their chief int bdustrial regions, the spohation of in
 dustrial plants, the transformation of
 the great bulk of their remaining fac
 tories into war plants and the absence
 of industrial laborers who are still un- der arms. The manufactutre of tex
 tiles, for example, Is urgently required to meet the needs of enemy popula- tions, and the production of other ma teriaIs is held to be absolutely inG:s- pensable. This would, 1t is said, fa- oahtate relief measures and alleviate . conditions of unemployment upon : which Bolshevism thrives, particularly in Hungary.
 The problem of trade restrictions on
 neutrals,as part of the enemy block
 ade, also is under consideration. There
 is a disposition in American quarters
 to permit eXportation of most raw ma T terials used in industries in such
 quantities as are required to meet the
 demands of home consumption. This
 demand will, it is said, largely prevent serious exports from neutrals to ad- jacent enemy countries.

Armour Asserts Legislation to Regulate
 Packing Industry
tcontinred from Page one0


 Profits made by Armour q Coul- pany, Mir. Armour declared, repre- sent @ return of less than two cents on every dollar of sales. The margin of profit in the packing industry Is the smalle enjoyed by any industry of national consequence"
 Gross volumes of sales by his com pany in 1918, he said, totalled SSS1,- COG, 600, compared with s575, ,O0000O in 1917. but the net income was at the rate of nine per cent on the average net capital invested He added that the 400 per cent. stock dividend in 1916 whereby the capital stock was raised from s20,O0O,0O0 to s1OO O0O, 900, was made possible be re-investment during the past years of Il per cent. of the aggregate earnings.
 The high price of meat, MT. Armour said, was the real reason why Presi- dent Wilson ordered the meat pack l ing investigation by the Federal Trade 1 Commission. Within the past four years, he said, the price of live hogs had increased 245 per cent and costs of labor clerical help and fuel had doubled.
  ble and the remaining 90 per cent. of by-products have not increased ir value as rapidly as the live animal, he said, it could be understood why bacon today costs three time what it did four years ago. He added that prices of live cattle and sheep have advanced at @ pace with that of hogs Charges by the commission of col fusion among the five big packing firms to control prices were denied by the witness. who asserted:
 Armour 6, Company are not now and have not been for many years 2 party to any pool, arrangement agreement or combination for tht control, regulation or limitation, O restriction of the purchase of liv' stock or the sale of any of the pro ducts or by-products thereof"
 MT. Armour declared that thert was keen competition between hi firm and Swift, Morris, Cudahy ant Wilson, and denied that there was an, combination among the packers to fl: prices.
 Regarding the charge of outsid
 lines, by the packers, he declared tn : Armour company had undertaken tn
 sale of many lines which it does no manufacture only because of the de mand from their customers, Wh , could not obtain satisfactory servic . elsewhere. He denied that his firr , had entered or intended to enter tn retail business; or that it was inter : ested in fish and vegetable canneries Amour & Company, the witness as serted, owns no live stock cars an = only sufficient refrigerator cars t i handle it's own goods efficiently.
