Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 21.-Editor
The Argus: A distinguished Rus
sian author and reformer has re-
Gently declared that the best way
to dethrone an arrogant, deSpotic
ruler is by persuasion and teach
ing. Without prescribing the steps
in such a procedure the theory he
conveys is that war is Intellectual
in the accomplishment of so deSir-
able and worthy an end. Probably
there never was an era in which
war as a means to a righteous end
is being weighed in the BALANCE /
as it is in this era. And among
the inquiries which that vital sub
ject suggests this one is not the
least important-"Is war a means
toward peace?" 1t seems to US
that it cannot be so regarded I'M
less it is the means toward the pro-
hibition of great and glazing in
EQUITIES the very presence of which
in any nation encourages and fos-
tiers the spirit of war instead of
peace! When war is begun and
maintained as a demonstration of
military strategy and might in the
conquest of territory or in the
wreaking of revenge then peace
finds but little Endorsement either
through an aroused public senti-
ment or in a fair Interpretation of
the lines of Sacred Writ. The
scriptural references to war are
many of them, at least, to be TAX
en- figuratively and should not be
allowed by biblical scholars to be
turned and twisted into an apology
for war in a literal sense such as
war profiteers and militaristS are
eager to use TO be sure wars may
issue in an armistice or an uncon-
ditionaI surrender and the event
may have the appearance OF peace
but the animositie engendered, |
the revenge cherished and the mill
tarism encouraged will issue in
direful results to be realized after
the passing of decades or even a
century. The wiser, the better and
the most effective way to win peace
the real, the lasting peace is the
teaching, by sculpture, by art, by
song, by history and by every eff
fective way the mind of childhood
in the home, the school and the
church, the worth, the dignity and
the glory Of peace. Let peace re-
ceive its merited plaudits and war
will hide it's ugly face and skulk |
away into some retreat to die for |
want of favorable recognition. Let |
the victories of peace be brought |
and kept into prominence.

Moline, Ill, Jan. 22.-Editor The

CHILD LABOR LAW NOW IN EFF
 FECT

The department of labor gives out the statement that the new child la bor law went into effect Tuesday The law provides that no boy or girl under Is years of age shall be em- ployed more than eight hours any one day
 Should any manufacturer having state, interstate export or import trade, employ minors nine hours q day he will be penahzed to the extent of 10 per cent of his net profits re- eeived or accrued for year. The manufacturers of the state have been making inquiries at the labor depart ment concerning this law, some being under the impression that it had not been passed and others, knowing that
 the President had signed the bill were concerned over the date when i was to go into effect.

The difference of a few cents in Inc cost of a pound of meat frequent ly determines whether that meat ap= pears on the tables in many house- holds. Yet that difference of few cents just as frequently is caused by the limited knowledge of the house wife of the meat which she desires
 Take the cost If mutton and lamb fl is regarded as high But the aver age house wife who 90 regards it speaka only in te~rs of ehaea a74 hind-anarters. The fore-quarter of mutton is just as dainty, just as full of flavor, just as eatable in every way fl it is properly prepared. II also IS many cents cheaper per pound

 Breeders of sheep sase paid more attention to raising q better faYore l meat iu the last few years and their efforts show clearly in the resulting sroduct.
 Some objeetors to lamb and mutton say that they cannot eat t because Of the "woolly taste" and that they know of no way to remove it That is merely case of pulling the wool over your own eyes If the fell, or tough cutter membrane that covers the meat, k removed, there will be no "woofy taste"

 SHEVISM
Thinks Amendments Shosid Be
 Made.

.The issue that the world faces IS either a league of nations or Bolshe- vism." Hamilton Holt. editor of eThe Independent, summer resident of Woodstock. and member of the League to Enforce Peace, told mem bers of the League for Political Edu- cation at Carnegie hall Saturday af- ternoon. Mir. Holt returned recently from Paris.
 q think the covenant, without a single amendment, Is the greatest document since the Declaration of Independence was first promulgated he said. but I believe amendments should be made for the purpose of clarity. I can point out fifty i'm provements.
 Without the participation of the United States the league is doomed to failure" said Mir Holt
 While our delegates are working hard in the interests of the league of nations he continued, ''the black clouds of Bolshevism are lowering over Europe, and when I say Europe I mean Italy. France and England.
 There must be determined just peace. and woe beti3e the peace com missi0uers or peace conference that does net give it.

 Better Restrictions On Building
 Mayor Marcy tolG the council that in line with his recommendation in his annual message he thought there ought to be more up-to-date rules and regulations concerning the erection of buildings. He spoke of two nice dwellings that were erected and then close by other owners put up shacks. He said there was soon to be land development campaign in Putnam and something ought to be done so that those who build nice houses will have protection. He said he did not want to work hardship on anyone owning property, but that there should be some sort of regulation in force. "I very strongly urge" said the mayor, that something be done and com mittee appointed to see what is done in other cities governing such mat ters."
 Petition For Gas Tank Denied
 Among the petitions presented was one from Arthur Pepin to erect a gasoline pump in front of his place on the square Whea Alderman Padgett moved that it be referred to the high way committee Alderman Johnson said, 'I object. This is one of the most prominent places in our city and there is a possibility that our fire sta tion would be blocked if automobiles stood waiting to have their tanks filed l think the square ought to be protected" Alderman Johnson said that he did not think it was necessary to have such a tank placed on the square. He said he did not wish it to be a burden to any one, but that he thought such a tank would be a most unfortunate thing. He also said he understood that the tank would have to be put under the street.
 Mayor Marcy said that he thought that in some instances these pumps had been erected for spite. He did not think it was so in this case, but there are places where they are so close together one can almost stretch from one to another"
 It was voted that the petition be denied and that the clerk notify Mir. Pepin stating the councils reason for it's action.
 Fire Protection For Grand View
 Mayor Marcy brought up the mat ter of better fire protection on Grand View following the reading of a peti- ton from residents of that section asking for large water mains. The mayor said there was now but one hy- drant on Grand View and that the nine is so small that if the pump is used it would suck it dry He said that no suitable stream of water could be had under present conditions If my house should catch fire, saic his honor.
