therefore, he must necessarily,
having ended such conquest, con-
tinue to exert such animal strain
by warning man against man, be-
cause there are no further animal
worlds to conquer. Following
that, there appears, in his view,
to be no virtue or possibility a
mans development by or through
peace. And yet, in his recital OF
history he shows repeated in
stances OF how easily wars have
time and again been avoided.
when Molock nations have been
about to become rampant, by the
mere firm stand Of less prepared
and less war-like and more peace
ful nations. In fact, he asserts
definitely that such proper
stand would probably have aver
ted the last great world war,
even against the mighty military
Colossus of Germany. So, as |
have asserted, he proves too
much.
Again. he proves too much
when he shows how wars have
usually been occasioned or forced
by those full panoplied for war,
and not by the peaceable nations.
Therefore, his conclusion must

THINKING BACKWARD.
By William Il. Chantland.

A recent book by s. G. Vestal,
entitled "The Maintenance of
Peace" is being seized on by the
advocates Of Militarism in aid Of
their cause. Were it not for the
length Of the volume it might
have some influence. The au-
thor writes well but proves too
much. A careful perusal viii
find that in almost every instance
he overshoots the mark, so that
his very proof goes against him.
j The arrogant manner Of dis
missing all who reason different
" from him is remarkable, for he
admits that in the list of contrary
reasoners is included all "our men
Of high ideals" Notwtthstand-
ING this broad admission, he
straightway charges all such
idealcd men with "resort to dis
honesty in argument" (page 81
He does not even admit that it
may be mere error Of argument.
Thur he arrogates to himself
Alone. and those following his
road of reasoning, the high quail

are eternally and sue cessfully on
guard against the "devious ways
Of intellectual dishonesty" Thus,
by repetition, he leaves no ground
for misconstruing his charge that
all idealists are not merely pos
sibly in error, but fatty dishon-
est. Were it not for the ambit-
ious preface, which is quit well
borne out in the authors survey
Of history, sue ha curt, paradox
zeal dismissal Of all other theories
as to the maintenance Of peace
would probably and properly end
the interest of most readers IN
the book.
He ends his survey and argu-
ment with the conclusion that
only by the much discredited bal
ance Of power, and the exertion
Of force through such balance Of
power, is there any real POSSIBLE
ity Of maintaining peace. The
fact that other methods have time
and again averted seriously
threatening clashes at arms is dis
missed by him as no proof, if on
any occasion subsequently, war
occurred. Though he styles him
self an inductive reasoner, the
multiplication Of instances. when

running counter to his theory,
signifies nothing, and afford no
premises OH which to base any
probable conclusion.
However, if the reader craps
his major premise, he is enabled
to determine at once whether he
can follow the reasoning, because
the major premise itself consists
of complete syllogism. Thus,
as evolutionary proof positive
that mankind will forever war
against mankind. he cites that
mankind has adapted to his own
use or killed all other animals Of
this earth Of ours, and that,

rest on the fact that there must
always be some ravenous warlike
nation. Here again he makes a
contention that is not generally
admitted. In fact, showing in
his recitals from history that the
warlike have caused the war, he
shifts the blame and the cause to
the peaceable. This he does not
do by logic, but by a jump from
his single premise, composed Of
many instances, to a conclusion.
Apparently. his argument comes

to this: That because Mars has
broken loose at times, we shall not
only condemn all efforts Of Eros,
but shall hold him directly re-
sponsrble for all the wicked
wantonness and destruction oc-
casioned by such outbreaks Of the
God Of War. The reductio adj alb
surdum is this: Let no one strive
for peace by being peaceable or
pacifistic, but let all be war-likc,
and, then only. will perfect, COM
plete and everlasting peace result.

there was any actual warfare near

quarters were in New York, or by
his agents, for destroying this water
supply system. Through this guard
many plots and many actual at

much actual shooting, and the lives
of forty-eight men were lost in that
service Later he was called to
Washington, and was given command
of troops to guard the United States
nitrate plants at Mussell Shoals and
Sheffield, Ala. After cessation Of
warfare, he was relieved from that
duty in March, 1919. He was then

Mrs. Mcfarland lives alone. She
managed to get into the house and
telephone for aid. DR.. Parcher was
called, and found her head and the
right side of her face badly bruised,
beside other minor bruises. Mrs. Nc

ONCE UPON A TIME
THERE WERE NO DOCTORS!
The Dsctsr Was Not Much Needed Until Folks
Began to Break Natures Laws.
Doctors Preach Prevention Is Better Than Cure.

Ninety per cent of all disease is
preventable, so doctors say. Eat
simple food, exercise wisely, sleep
sufficiently, and-what is vitality i'm
portant-make sure Of the daily,
regular, thorough elimination Of
body waste, and the chances are nine
to one that you will'keep well, work
efficiently and enjoy life. Bowel
elimination of food and tissue waste
is all-important. But in case of ir-
regularity, disordered or imperfect
action do not make the common mis-
take of taking harsh, violently acting
medicines, with the idea Of forcing
the bowels to act. Nature believes
in mild methods. She responds best
to persuasion.
So in selecting a simple remedy to
regulate and assure piper bowel
action, you should not use harsh or
violently acting remedies, no matter
how much has been claimed for
them. You should choose some we'll
known, time tested, tria, proven
remedy, that has made its reputation
by being used for many years, by
all sosts of people, all over the world.
Take Beecham's Pills for example.
Beecham's is household word, has
been for many generations. Beech
ans Pills is household remedy,
has been for over half a century. People
not only take Beecham's but recon-
mend Beecham's to their friends.
Their use is handed down from
father to son or from mother to
daughter, from one generation to
another. Did you ever hear any
complaint or criticism of Beecham 9?
Isn't that a pretty powerful endorse
ment Of their worth? Druggists
are glad to sell Beecham's.

NORTH ELLSWORTH FAIR.
Fruit Exhibit Especially Fine, Says
County, Agent Bridges,

The North Ellsworth fair, held
during the past week under the
auspices of the North Ellsworth
Farmers Club, was very success
full event. The last day of the fair
was largely attended and good
time was enjoyed by all.
The agricultural exhibit at the
fair speaks very highly for the
members of the club and the ex-
hibitors at the fair. This section
had an exhibit that any fair should
be proud to have. OF all the agri-
cultural display, probably the ex-
hibit which attracted the most at
tention was the fruit. North Ellis
worth is very fortunate in having so
many good fruit growers The ex-
hibits there were fine. A great
many different varieties of apples
were exhibited, and in some cases,
tered in the same class. The fruit
exhibit also consisted of pears,
plums and grapes.
The fruit exhibit this year at the
North Ellsworth fair was as good an
exhibit as l have seen at any fair in
eastern Maine, that is in Hancock
of Washington county, in recent
years.
The vegetable exhibit was also
very good. There was quite a class
of potatoes entered, and all kinds of
vegetables were shown. The poul-
try exhibit was fair, very good birds
being shown The stock exhibit
was small, composed wholly of
grade animals.
A feature which attracted many
people was the baby show. There
were fourteen babies entered in the
show, and much interest was mani
tested, prizes being awarded in
gold.
The. prize offered for the best dis
play of farm produce was awarded
to H. F. Maddocks, the only ex-
hibitor in this class, who had fine
display. The rest of the program
of the fair consisted of horse rae
ing, ball game, etc., and was a
source Of attraction to all.
The management of the fair and
the exhibitors should be compli-
mented on the fineness of the dis
play. H. Styles Bridges,
County Agent.
