THE CURSE OF CIVILIZATION

The farmers of America take the
right stand if hey oppose any polit-
ical candidate that favors militarism
in any form.
Militarism is antagonistic to the
best interests of all useful people in
the world. 1t is gigantic parasite
that saps the moral vigor of mankind.
1t is a monster that lives upon human
blood and human lives. 1t is a cor
rupter of men and women, fend that
destroys individuality, an enemy of
social justice and religion.
Militarism is the incarnation of
everything brutal, mean, dirty, re-
pulsive, and hateful in modern So
ciety. 1t is the most perfect express
sion of our cultured insanity, and the
most complete perversion of every
thing that civilized man has come to
regard as good, beautiful, just, low
able and true.
1t was militarism that has brought
about the latest world catastrophe;
1t was militarism that caused the
ruin of Central Europe; it was mill
tarism that has transformed modern
civilization into the most despicable,
the most abhorrent, the most abomin-
able barbarism the world has ever
seen or suffered.
Milltarism has become the curse of
the modern world, and we doubt the
sanity-the moral and intellectual
sanity-of any man who can defend
the ugly monster or justify its exist
ence.
The economics, politics, ethics, and
religions of rational men condemn

DISTRICT COURT WEEK
Judge Albert Arrives and the Usual
Grind of Court Work Begins-Petit (
Jury Called for Next Week

"a District court is in session again this
week with Judge Albert presiding. We
presume the usual grind will be found
at this term Of court. The grand jury
was promptly empanelled and we un-
.derstand has taken up its work. A
rumOr is out that the parties charged
with stealing the hogs from Ed Wright
some time ago have been indicted.
This was to be expected in view OF the
fact that the evidence showing their
connection with the offense was fairly
clear.
The case Of Hederman against Stall
err was on trial in the district court on
Tuesday. Judgment of the court for
costs against both parties.
There are but few cases for trial this
week and are what are known as equity
cases, those which are triable toy the
court alone. Next week the jury will
be here to take up the trial of law
cases properly triable to the jury.
There is a good deal of sickness pre-.
vailing, which is liable to interfere with
court work. especially as it may extend
to the attorneys and lftigants.
There is scarcely term Of court but
what something occurs to interfere with
the procedure of the court work. Dur.
ing the war there We're Interruptions
which were unavoidable and which
largely interfered with the disposition Of
the court business. Since the war 9TH
err things have occurred to prevent
bringing the work up to date, and con-
the circumstances the work Of
