BREAD OR BULLETS.

Herbert Hoover, be it said to
his credit; is trying his best to
feed the starving millions Of
Europe. About last October he
made a strong appeal to the
American people for $23, ,000,-
600 which he said was urgently
needed to care for even the chill
dren who were starving.
The Literary Digest took up
the cry and started a big CAM
naign to help Hoover get the
$23, 100000. The whole coun-
try has been organized and as
sessed and each section is raising
its quota" in a good deal the
same manner as the big war
loans were raised. The Digest
now announces that SIC, ,00O, 900
HIS been collected, and the pros
poets look good to get all that
Mr.. Hoover thinks he can use in
his Joseph business.
That is all good commendable
work. There is no doubt about
the need of it, and | am mighty
glad to see it going on. = -.
But here is what gets my.
goat! You will notice that
Hoover just asked for twenty
three million. The whole popu-
lation of America has just been
tearing it's SHIRT and hasn't got
half the amount yet. But in the
same issue of the Literary Di-
gest, ON the first page, is an
article headed, 'Batt1eships and
Bankruptcy" in which it is sta
ted that the United States is now
building or fixing to build SIX
great battle-cruisers, each of
which will cost twenty-three
million dollars, or one hundred
and thirty-eight million in all.
Please notice carefully that the
cost of ONE of these war-mon-
sters is just equal to what Hoov-
er wants to feed starving Europe
And we are going to build SIX
of those things. And that is
only small part of our naval
appropriation for this year. The
whole thing will be about seven
hundred million dollars. t:
All these millions for war are
appropriated by Congress with
out word said-without asking
anybody's advice or consent. Fix
ing things to kill people is SO
much more important than fix
ing a way to keep people alive,
don't you see? Everybody has
to be called in to help raise 8
little mite for the starving, but
when it is wanted for battleships
seven hundred million dollars

Christian way Of saying Damn

<.RELEASE UNTO US BARAB-
BAS."

When Jesus the agitator-the
Debs Of Jerusalem brought.
before Governor Plate, charged
with sedition, melting to riot,
haspheny, and so forth, there
was a great scene You remem-
Der how it went. From the
scripture accounts of the trial
it seems that Governor Plate
must have been a pretty honest,
well-meaning sort of a block
head, but he had a yarn ravelling
in the place Of a backbone. .Ev-
cry time / read the 23rd chapter
of Luke I feel like [ would love
to SO fishing if | just had Plate
for bait. He would have made
a jim-dandy worm for a fish,
hook. .. -
Really, it was no trial at all,
It was just a mob of the Jewish
Patriots and good citizens"
demanding the life of Jesus and
getting it. After Plate had kept
Jesus on the witness stand for a
right smart while, he seemed to-
be convinced that Jesus was a
good man who had not commit
ted any crime, and he wanted to
turn him loose. It was right at
/ the time of the Passover feast,
and there was a rule that one
prisoner should be given his
freedom ON that occasion. So
PLATE made up his mind that
Jesus was certainly the one who
ought to be released. But they
had another prisoner by the
name Of Barabbas who was in
for sedition and murder. The
mob of Jewish patriots and good
citizens decided they wanted Ba-
rabbas turned loose instead of
Jesus. Plate argued with them
awhile in his weak way, pointing
out that Jesus had done nothing
to deserve punishment, and beg
ging that they allow him to re.
lease Jesus. But at that the mob
began to cut bigger shines than
ever, stomping and yelling:
| "Away with this man, and re-
lease unto us Barabbas.
I guess an old hen with three
biddies could have scared Plate
to death, and SO he was good and
scared about then. It's plum
certain that he wanted to re-
lease Jesus, but he didn't have
nerve enough to withstand the
will of the mob. So he said,
"Well, if nothing else will do,
just have it your own way, but I

tire population of the country so
far. as the governments lying
war-pr'opaganda could influence
it. We were fed exclusively on
q diet Of hate. We were taught
that killing people and wrecking
homes was the one and only job
worth doing, and if we didn't
join in the fun we were sent to
Jail and kept there.
No, / am not charging that the
returned soldiers are responsible
for the present crime-wave. Most
of them got their bellyful Of it
and are willing enough to be
quiet. But among so many mil
lions there must have been a
large number Of the crimna1ly in
clined, and the war-training on
" made them expert criminals.
Then the war psychology-the
bloody atmosphere that we lived
in so long-made millions of
other criminals.
On top Of all that came the
awful disappointment and disil
lusionment Of the people. The
war was fought to make the
world safe for democracy" But
we woke up to find that democra-
cy was the deadest thing of all,
and that autocracy and bull
headed brute force were still in
the saddle. We saw that the
peace conference was not a peace
conference at all, but merely a
knock-down- d-drag-out con-
test over the spoils. We saw that
instead of giving us disarma-
ment and peace it was going to
breed bigger armament and big
ger wars.
That discovery took the heart
out Of everything, and destroy
ed what little was left of the
worlds moral conscience. People
have just come to the conclusion
that everything is lost anyhow,
and they don't care much what
they do. :.

THE CRIME WAVE.
Holy eat-fshl
Misery and 1neat-skins!

Hoiy cat-nSA!
Misery and neat-skins!
And seventy sorts Of sin!
Just listen what an awful fuss
they are making about the
wave Of crime" that is said to
be sweeping over this sin-soaked
section Of Satan's kingdom!
There seems to be a general
"scare" over the increase Of
crime, especially in the cities.
All the papers are full Of muir
ders, robberies, and various out
RACES, and it is said that human
life is less secure in America
right now than at any time in
our history. .5=
Well, what Of it? Isn't tha:
just exactly what we have been
fixing for and leading up to by
our blood-thirsty ''patriotisYnn
and our gh-handed official per-
secution of peaceable folks !? Did
MT our government conscript
four million men and send them
of-against their wills-and
train them in the fine art Of
murder? Didn't it put guns in
their hands and compel them to
kill people against whom they
had not the slightest ill-feeling :?
Didn't it teach them to revel in
butchery and bloodshed, to be-
come calloused and hardened
against the awful sights they
had to witness ? Of course they
had to harden their hearts and
make themselves as brutal as
possible, else they could not have
endured it at all.
And didn't our war-mad gov
ernment take up peaceable men
and women and put them in pris-
on for the ''crime Of being
peaceable and lovers of peace +?
And isn't it keeping those people
in prison yet, in defiance Of ev-
cry true principle of humanity .
And now if the tree Of bfu-
tality, so carefully planted and
tended by our government, is be-
ginning to bear it's natural fruit
in the private life Of the nation
who is to blame?
You must remember that it
was not just the four million sol
diers alone who were hardened
and brutalized-it was the en-

The man who thinks it would
be a disgrace for him to wear
overalls is probably 1'ight-it
would be a disgrace to the over
alls to have such a sorry thing
in them.

YOU CAN'T PLEASE FEM ALL

A dear old lady from Oklahoma who had never crossed the Mississip- pi before, attended the convention of the Daughters of the AmericaS Revolution in Washington.
 The congressman from her dis. trict wanted to be courteous to her and show her some of the city.
 He called at her hotel one evening and after passing a few words of greeting. inquired if she would not stroll with him through Peacock alley''-that famous corridor of all fashions that connects Pennsylvanfa avenue and "F~' streets. through the Willard hotel.
 "Tn have you to understand. young fellow. I'm not the kind to be stroll ing through these here eastern city alleys with men at night. and If tell my grandsons back home in Oklahoma about your proposal they's make it hot for you next election" We'll, you just cant please every body.
