The WhirIisia of Time

Now have Colonel George W Harvey advo- eating the submission of the question war to referendum. Colonel Harvey is as far removed in temperament, and habit of thought from Colonel Will liam J. Bryan could be imagined MT. Bryan has always been intensely radical Colonel Harvey is the eptome of conservatism
 When, dozen years ago Colonel Bryan talked of pebscite questions war the whole try including, we suppose, Colonel Harvey smiled in dersion. Now find latter advising Mir Harding to accept the suggestion as a part of a world peace plan
 It has curiously happened that many things put forward by Mir. Bryan quarter of century ago. ridiculous they seemed then, if not ridiculous apparently hopelsssly impractical have to They have not though come about in just the way Mir Bryan expected in the way he advised. And we cannot fully admit that their happenings evidences of Mir Bryan's foresight or that in ad- vancing them he was running a quarter of century ahead of the world. We would rather believe that they have been the results of operations which he could not have foreseen. Mir. Bryan has made many egregious mistakes credited with super natural prescience.
 War by referendum, we believe as a world agree ment would make war impossible of nearly so. The people of all countries that is, the masses the people are usually against regardless of the provocation the apparent necessity for it. They prefer the of peace. It only once in great while that popular sentiment flames out for We doubt very much whether it would ever so flame, if the people should give expression their sentiments in the privacy of the polling booth.

 Many of the leading statesmen of this country foreseeng that would inevitably, ultimately be drawn into the world the side of the allies demanded that should get early. More of us believed after the sinking the Lusitania but we doubt very much whether early 1917 after Ger many had proclaimed its program indscriminate te sinking of neutral shipping found zone which had been established. there would have been a popu- lar majority in favor of even then. Though the people rallied spiendidy support of the govern ment, once at war. they were at first apathetic.
 The difficulty in the way of the plan of Colonel Harvey would be to secure such a world agreement as he advocates. And another difficulty lies in the fact that many nations lack the machinery of na- tional and universal suffrage carry such ar agreement into effect

 I an writing you with the hope that you will see fit to help me in this matter. I am a disabled soldier hav- ing been wounded twice and am now under the supervision of the Federal Board of Vocational Education and am in trainfDg tn be an electrical engineer.
 The atmosphere of New England. as you probably know, is heavily laden with moisture and therfore not a suit able climate for one who has been gassed such as l. My general health is. I think, all that can be expected in this climate but I need the clean, dry air of such place as Arizona to give me back my full health. I am going to ask you personally If you win give this your attention. I wish to find some growing electrical | concern in Phoenix which would be willing to give me a trial in that line of work. The Federal Board, as you know, provides me with a slight sum of money each month in order to enable me to earn as nearly as possible the equivalent of the salary which I earned | before entering the service.
 Having spent some time in your country alosg tie Mexican Border  ] in 1916 I know the wonderful oppor- tunities that exist there.
 My schooling consists of graduating from the common schools, two years in high school, and one year in college and one year in night school. l am also continuing a course in night school. If it is not possible to ob- tain employment in this line of work any work which you judge to be suitable for me, I would hear of 1t with satisfaction
