Salvation Army is giving the "milk

A new gospel is being preached by
Salvation Lassies in at least two cities

1t is a gospel of clean milk'-and
lots Of it. School children in Union
Hill, N. j., which is just across the
Hudson River from New York, and
:Covington, Ky, are already benehtlng
from the modern gospel.
Union Hill Salvationists were the
first to start the milk crusade, ana
there 60 quarts of the healthful f1uld
are dispensed free each day. In this
town the ravages of infantile paralysis
about two years ago were especially
severe, as is. shown by the number OF
crippled poor children who benefit from
the Army's treatment.
In Covington the crusade Is educa-
tional as we'll as charitable in nature,
and the lassies preach the clean milk
gospel with all their usual fervor.

DTCTUk OF A WOULD-BE BOSS

AS we predicted, Mr.. Bryan is
at the San Francisco convention
in the role of trouble maker. If
the convention should follow his
leadership-which it will mott
will have foredoomed the party to
defeat regardless of the weakness
of the Chicago ticket and plat
form. Republicans when in tight
place generally console themselves
with the belief that the Democrats
can be counted on TO make fools of
themselves at the right moment,
and they are, of course, earnestly
hoping that Bryan will succeed
in making this true in the present
case, but it is inconceivable that
body of men intelligent enough to
be chosen as delegates to the Dem
ocratic national convention will
prove SO helplessly bereft of COM
mon sense and political sagacity
IS to play into the Republican
hands, as Bryan in his present
course means to repudiate the
Democratic administration, and
for the Democratic convention to
insult President Wilson means for
it to commit party suicide.
It is evident that Mr.. Bryan still
harbors the ambition to run for
President again-it can hardly be
that even he is so grounded in his
egotism as to dream his election lis
possible. But with snug and die
tatorial assurance which of late
years has so disguised millions of
his former friends and supporters,
Bryan blandly rules out nearly
every candidate mentioned as a
possibility and confirms our earl
Ter conviction that nobody-ex-
cept Bryan-possesses the pecu-
liar qualities that will fully salts
fy Bryan in presidential candi-

pect for party expediency. AS
Republican Mr.. Taft can be for
given for supporting his party
ticket in spite of the Chicago plat
from's dishonest treatment of the
League Of Nations issue. But Mr..
Taft makes himself ridiculous and
"a bit contemplate when he strives
to reconcile his own former atti-
tude toward the League with the
gyrations of the Chicago platform.
Would it not be better for him to
retain his own self-respect and
the confidence of his fellow citi-
zens than to subordinate his con-
victions to the harsh demands of
party regularity?
There are so many rotten pIanks
in the Chicago platform that the
elephant is likely to fall through
and break his neck.

Socialism, so far as it has pro-
crossed in Russia, is dismal fail
ure. There is no indication that
the Russian people are reveling in
riches or laughing with the joy of
living. Russia once had grain to
export, wool to manufacture cloth
ing, and the cotton fields of Turk
estan supplied the materials for
numerous textile industries. Now
the people freeze, Notwithstanding
they have vast coal fields and oil
industries. Socialism seemed to
them to be all right while the
"divvy" process was going on,
when they were plundering the
palaces of the rich and the houses
of the thrifty. Then they were
clothed with the accumulations of
happier days, but the supply is ex-
hausted; hence the lamentable
condition.

r. T. GOLDSBY.

On the first page of today's
News will be found an article in
regard to the release FROM the
penitentiary of R. T. Goldsby.
This negro Goldsby has for
years been the head Of a gang of
thieves in Vicksburg. He is a big,
fat, lazy negro and never worked,
always had plenty Of money. He
was the head-knocker among a
gang of thieves, burglars and rob-
bers who would break into stores
and box cars and residences in the
city of Vicksburg and steal all
manner of articles and Goldsby
would see to it that the articles
were sold and disposed of to good
advantage. 1t was known for a
long time that Goldsby was en-
gagged in this business but it was
hard to get evidence and convict
him. Finally the good citizens of
Vlcksburg became so thoroughly
aroused that they undertook steps
which resulted in the arrest of
Goldsby and his gang. Goldsby
was indicted and plead guilty and
was sentenced to term of five
years in the penitentiary. He was
also convicted on other charges

date. In his Commoner, just be-
fore leaving for San Fransicco.
Bryan enumerates the possible
candidates and disposes of them to
his own satisfaction. McAdoo is
IAN easy mark for all of the Presi-
dents enemies" Palmer does not
measure up to expectations. Ed
wards Il am unalterably opposed
to-" Cox twill not do" Marshall
weakened himself by feeble
bid for the wet vote"
Could anything exceed the cool
effrontery of this man who rules
out the leading candidates before
the convention and sets himself,
thrice defeated for the presidency,
up as the dictator of both plat
form and candidates? If the San
Francisco convention submits to
Bryan's arrogance and imperti-
hence it will simply invite the
party disaster which must inevi-
tably follow.
Hiram Johnson evidently is in
an ugly frame of mind. "A few
politicians sitting in the Black
stone Hotel in Chicago, ''he says
in a public statement, "said, the
people be damned but ''the time
is coming when the people will
come into their own" This does
not listen as though Hiram in
tended to tear his clothes in the
ardor of his support of Harding
and Coolidge. But the Californi-
an is wary politician, and he
may, for his futures sake, pre-
serve the appearance of party reg
ularity and give perfunctory sup
port to the Chicago ticket. How
ever, Mr.. Harding and his friends
have disagreeable recollections of
what happened in California four
years ago. Johnson was a per-
funnctory supporter of Hughes,
but California gave her electoral
votes to Wilson while electing
johnson Senator by q great major
ity. Hiram knows how to sulk and
make his sulkiness effective.
Mr.. Taft has been held in such
high esteem by men of all parties
since his retirement from the pres
idency that it is a pity to see him
sacrificing universal public re-

Of. He was always fat, sleek, and

1t is hoped that justice will be
meted out to him and that he will
be required to serve his term in
the penitentiary.

from Germany to the China sea,
and other wars are now in pros
pect, that may again involve the
whole world in blood and ruin.
Peace treaties alone will never
make permanent peace, SO long
as one nation may regard them as
scraps of paper, and have at it's
command the human energy and
the war materials with which to
defy the world.
Disarmament, and the cessation
of the manufacture of all imple-
ments of war, and the destruction
Of all war materials now in exis-
tence, will be a move in the di-
rection of permanent peace; yet
to insure that peace there will
need be an effective international
police to enforce international
war prohibiting preparations and
the manufacture of war materials
of every kind.
IAN international court of US
tice can settle the differences of
nations as wisely as a national
court cam settle the affairs of it's
nation.
Let the world be ruled with
justice and there will be no war

The history of the past furnish
es us with no model of an endur-
ing peace, the future is problema-
tic, and all is uncertainty. Nothing
like peace will ever come to the
nations as long as they maintain
vast armies and navies, and fill
their arsenals and magazines with
the elements of destruction and
death. No peace will come so
long as the science cf war is
taught in military and naval col
leges, and the young men are
trained more strenously in mill
tary tactics than they are in the
arts of peace.
The nations Of earth have from
time immemorial experimental
with various means to maintain
the peace of the world; but in all
those experiments it has never
given up the idea of great military
systems and alliances to preserve
the balance power among the ma
tons. 1t has played with peace
as sanely as a small boy would
play with matches in the vicinity
OF a powder-house.
The causes of war have never
been as serious a consideration
as the preparation for war and the
maintenance of burdensome
system of militarism; and for this
reason there has never been and
never could be genuine peace.
Peace tribunals have been es-
tablishede atsvariOus stages of the
worlds history, and previous to
the great world war there was
such a tribunal at the Hague; but,
while agreeing to the articles
which brought that tribunal into
existence, the powers never
ceased their preparations for mill
tary or naval activities, and every
destructive device or poisonous
agency that could be used against
an enemy was manufactured and
stored in preparation for the time
when the flames of war would
burst forth upon the earth.
Germany has demanded disarm-
: ament of all powers, while she
strengthened her own equipment
and carried her military training
to degree of perfection such as
the world has never before known.
in preparation for the day when
her helmeted legions should be let
loose upon the earth to kill, burn
and destroy, in a war of conquest,
that was expected to make the
Teutonic combination the controll-
ing power of the world.
All governments admit that war
is relic of barbarism, yet they
have chung tenaciously to that de
generate policy, and have in
creased its terrors by every means
that could be devised by human
ingenuity.
The great war came to a close
with the signing Of the Armistice,
on November II, 1919, but it was
only temporary respite, and wars
soon broke out, involving nations
