Tzuentu Years Later

TT was twenty-five years ago that the
first Hague Peace Conference express
ed ftthe wish that>the Governments may
examine the possibility of an agreement as
to the limitation of armed forces by land
and sea and of war budgets So intense was
the opposition to +hi~ mild, almost apologet-
ic proposal and so acrid the debate it
aroused, that several nations refused to at
tend the second conference" current MS
torian reminds us, unless assured no such
discussion would be injected into the pro-
gram" Accordingly when the second confer
ence met, in 1907, the subject was treated
more as d spectre TO be stunned than
problem for practical craftsmanship, not
withstanding that meanwhile had occurred
the Boer War, the kusso-J japanese war, To-
gether with a number of minor ronflcts, ana
that the burden of armament was growing
ever more costly and irksome. The restless
ghost. however, could not be kept entirely
down: but appeared, Banquo-like, in a reso-
luton, introduced by Sir Edward Fry and
approved by British, French and American
delegates, "favori1g limitation of military
charges" Perfunctorily passed, the resolu-
ton proved to be of no effect. M1l1tarists
continued to dominate, war macnlheS AnuA-
tiplied and waxed more gigantic, taxes piled
higher, the shoulders Of mankind bending
and aching beneath the burden. ~
And then, in 1914, befel the world
tastrophe
Within those two and twenty fateful
years the nations have learned at least
enough not lightly tC dismiss proposal for
reducing armament and conserving peace
Today they are considering in Utmost serl-
business and patience, not mere wish that
Governments may examine the possibility
but definite proposition to scrap forthwith
one billion eight hundred and seventy-elght
million tons of battleships and for not less
than ten years to cease building them al
together. Far from being resented or met
with cynicism, the suggestion evokes shout
of approval that ring around the world, and
the coolest, most seasoned of statesmen
grow enthusiastic By no means is the great
problem yet solved, but assuredly the
thoughts of men have widened since 1899!

FAIR PLAY
Bv H. Addington Bruce

by II. AuulllS lOI DluSCt
TIE was a vigorous, forceful business man
II of early middle life. By the usual
road of keen endeavor he had
travelled upward until he now held an impor-
tant executive position. Serenity and opti-
mism were among his outstanding traits.
But he otEer evening when 1 CHANGED upon
him in the street car. he was manifestly dis
turbed in mind. And he welcomed an OPP
portunity to speak of what was troubling
him.
tI am wondering" he tole me, "what is
going to happen to the country unless those
who work for wages learn to play fair with
their employers and the public. They're
certainly not playing fair today. That is,
great numbers of them are not.
"What they seem to be trying to do is to
get as much as they can and to give as little
in return as possible. Certainly that is the
attitude of the workers in the office of which
I have recently taken charge, and 1 have no
reason to think that it is exceptional.
"Cnly this afternoon my stenographer ask
ed me if she might attend to some private
business before coming to the office tomor-
row, saying that it would make her about al
hour late. I told her that had no objection
whatever to her doing this.
"It happened that some important mail
came in that could not be answered today
without keering her at the office little be-
yond her usual time 70 leaving. Did she Of
fer to stay and help to finish it up?
''She did not At five minutes to she
was reaching for Ter hat. At exactly the
door closed behind her. And at that same
moment everybody else in the office, except
the boss, was streaking out.
els that fair play? And can any one say
that clock-watching office force have their
hearts in their jobs? Believe me, some
changes are going to be made soon in my Of
flee force. They have to be made
AS matter of fact workers who so plain
ly make it evident that quitting time is
them are playing unfairly to themselves ana
their dependents no less than to their en-
ployers, the men who pay their salaries and
wages.
They are maxim it certain that, so far
FROM prospecting, they will always be on the
ragged edge of unemployment. And, no
matter how firmly they may think they have
entrenched themselves through unionization
or other processes, life is bound to be diff
cult to them.
Picture what it means if scanty giving of
effort is the rule in all vouations, as some OBJ
servers declare it to be the rule.
It means unneces sary cost in the produce
ton of everything. Hence it also means an
unnecessarily high price to be paid for the
purchase of any commodity
And these clock-Watching workers are, one
and all, consumers as we'll as producers. They
must pay out their wages as we'll as take
them in. Can they justly grumble if they
have to pay them out with excessive rapid
ity"
Fair play, the giving of full value for
than anything else to make life comfortable
for the masses.

been offered he would have let IL drop, out
the minute he is told he cannot do 1t ne is
bound and determined to do it. For we are
never so young but what stolen water tastes
sweet and forbidden fruit tempts cur ap-
petites.
AS a matter of fact the effectiveness OF
DON'T is in direct ratio to it's scarcity. The
child who has DON'T said to him from morn
ing to night gets so hardened that the pro-
hibition rolls off of him without making
any more impression than raindrop on
granite But the child whose parents en-
ter sympathetically into it's little plans
and hopes and whose innocent pastlmes
have no restrictions put upon them, oDeys
like a soldier at the command OF DON'T.
1t knows that it's parents would not say
it unless there was some excellent rea-
son behind it.
of course the parents excuse for in
cessantly nagging their children is that they
love them so much that they are trying to
nrotect them and keep them from blum
dering into mistakes. They ignore the fact
that the remedy is more dangerous IMAM
the disease, and that nothing else In the
wide world weakens the bond between chill
dren and parents so quickly as does tnis
petty tyranny.
Nagglng is the uHIoiSlVdoAc uoiioo'A" o.:
It is the constant dripping OF little lrrl
tations that wears away the strongest
love- No human being with particle OF
spirit will stand being continually tolo
where to get on and where to get OFF,
even though the mother does it.
Not long ago / met a young man, the
only child of an adoring woman VINO was
a widow, who had put half the world pc
tween himself and his mother. SAID
to him that it was a terrible thlng that
he and his mother had to be parted, and
he renlied: II know. know it is hard
for her because I am everything she has,
hut 7 had to leave home to save my LIE:
Mother nagged me about everything | did
until was going crazy. Ii ate
hearty meal she told me | was eating TOO
much and must not have another piece OF
pie. If I ate little she nagged me to eat
more If I stayed at home she told me
/ must go out If I went out she thougnt
I should stay at home I found myself
oetting surlv and cross and actually be-
ginning TO hate her, and so I came away
to save us both.
That's the answer to why so many boys
and girls leave home They are trying TO
get away from parental nagging and the
atmosphere of conflict that this produces
They want to be some place where they
can have some individual liberty and DO
little simple things without having an ar
gument about them.
There should just be one DON'T in the
family 1t is DON'T SAY DON'T unless
child wants to do something really
wrong If fathers and mothers would OBJ
serve that DON'T and cut out the nagging
stuff it would do more than any one other
thing to promote family affection and make
children as agreeable in their own home as
they are out of them.

DEPRESSION By Tariff
- OUCHING the specious plea that a
high tariff is essential to the Ameri-

high tariff is essential to the Ameri-
can farmers prosperity, the st. Joseph
,Indiana) News-Press tellingly argues that
the real need is, not a tariff which will
depress still further our dispirited foreign
trade, but an extension of the world markets
on which agriculture as we'll as industry de-
ponds for the disposal of it's surplus. what
is Congress doing" asks the News-Press,
"to expand Americas foreign markets or to
open new ones? -
The emergency tariff act, which has
just been extended, and the proposed
permanent tariff bill threaten to de-
prive American farmers of such mar
kets as they now have. There are de-
mands for higher tariff duties, and
some of the interests clamoring for
more protection could easily manage
to thrive with less than they now have.
Little is heard in Washington about
more trade with Europe and freer inter
change of goods Everybody is calling
for a higher tariff wall to shut foreign
goods out of the American market.
The inevitable consequence of pressing
this already baneful policy to further. haz-
ards will be to stifle the prosperity it pre-
tends to create. The present tariff, by max
ing it hard for others to sell to the Amerl-
can producer made It still harder for them
to buy from him. The result is seen IN the
soreIy shrunken price of wheat and In de-
cline of exports that has reacted palntully
against American labor and industry Inc
sooner the tariff-makers decide to conform
to economic law instead of political favor
itism, the better for the country

HUMAN NATURE AGAIN
By DR.. Frank Crane

In thinking about disarmament we should
constantly attack the argument that in order
to get it we must change human nature
This is much reiterated delusion.
Disarmament is not at all moral ques-
ton nor matter of altering the nature Of
human beings.
Tt is simply and purely a question of man
agement. t-5
Human beings always have quarreled
and probably always will quarrel. And to
get peace you do not have to change their
dispositions, but you simply have to estab-
fish rules and make them quarrel in way
that will not be destructive to communal
life.
For instance, children are naturally quar-
relsome and you don't keep peace in the fam
lily by changing their natures. You maintain
peace by making them refer their quarrels
to parental authority. School children are
quarre some but the school yard and school
room are not full of fights, for the simple
reason that the children understand that
their disputes must be referred to the
teacher.
The essence of every game is contest
Baseball is contest, but the two baseball
mines do not slug each other. They play the
rules of the game whereby they are re-
ired to slug the ball until they can pour
out all their natural competitiveness accord
ing to the rules
A game of poker is contest, but the par
Elephants in the game do not break the fur
niture, for the simple reason that the con-
test must be played according to the rules.
All the violence there is in poker is directed
to the man who cheats-that is, the mem
Der of the party who will not obey the regu-
lations.
This is the gist OF the meaning of the
Scriptures, vengeance is mine; I will
avenge saith the Lord"
The point is that there can be no COM
munity life unless the vengeance business
is referred to some one else than the indi-
vidual wronged.
The basis of civilization is not that we
should cease to quarrel, but that we should
legate the settlement of our disputes to
arbitration.
All that is necessary is to make nations
carry on their natural competition in de-
without rules like lot of savages, the great
game of national competition And the re-
suit has been murder, devastation, and
bankruptcy.
What we need is not to change human
nature among natl JUS, but to teach the rules
of the game that we are all playing.
Citizens have an inalienable right to fight
Law does not prohibit their fighting. Law
simply says when they want to fight they
must come into court and oppose each other
in regular manner. There they can exer-
else their bad blood all they please. But if
they go to settling their disputes with re-
volvers in the street, shooting up the by
ISLANDERS, such method of fighting is not toll
Grated
1t is very necessary to see that the ques-
ton of disarmament is merely one of play
ing the game intelligently. 1t is not at all
a question Of bringing around the millen-
mum and making angels out OF human be-
ings.

REFLECTIONS OF A
- BACHELOR GIRL

Love doesn't die half so often from great
diSluSionment as from a million little diScom-
forts, nor from violent wound as from thou
sand little stings.
Once wornan's heeart has been broken, it
may be mended; but the stitches never tear,
again, in the same place.
Charm man if you can; comfort him if you
will; but, above all, AMUSE him For a man
that is bored will turn away from Venus, her
self, to play with little brown mink, who
can make him laugh.
Loves QUESTIONABLE: Do you love me? Don't
you love me? Why do you love me? How
much do you love me? When did you begin
to love me? Will you love me forever? Don't
you love me any more? Why don't you love
me?-and then they wonder why love gives
them ''that tired feelng!"
When man takes notion 70 marry, he
doesn't start following it up, he merely stops
running away.
Choosing wife for her worth is about as en-
ticing a prospect to the average man as eating
food because it is good for him.
Love is what makes a girl of twenty feel
very old and wise, and woman of forty feel
very young and foolish.
