Debs and Disarmament

Eugene Debs socialist leader recently released from
prison where he partially served sentence for conspiracy
obsrc the draft law declares that the Washington con
ference will be flat failure and "a waste OF breath ana
will not end war does not into the cause Oh
warfare.
Nations are but composite individuals and as long as
they disposed to fight they will fight and they VIII gh
as long as they allow their ruling masters to lasn them
into frenzy of mscaled patriotism and drive them into
the shambles for destruction says Mr. Debs who cannot
get away from the sociast bunk that humanity consists
of downrodden of slaves ruhessy driven by heart
less masters.
and still every modern nation could almost instantly arm
itself for the most destructive and disastrous war ever
waged and to abolish disarmament involves the aDo
ons of modern chemistry Which is true. But no one
claims that the Washington conference will end war; 1t IS
merely conference to limit ornaments and settle peaceaby
disputes that might provoke
Aboishng is too Utopian for realization at present
Even league of nations to prevent war proved premature
Proportional limitation of ornaments is however practical
and the benefits resultant will be apparent in reduced tax
burdens But the fact that the nations for the first
time in history willing to make beginning in scrapping
armament that today batteshps co. and tomorrow sub
and perhaps the next day. poison shows that
the human mind is being dsarmedand that is the real dis
armament.
Men do not fight because they have weapons-they have
weapons because they fight But removing and limiting
the weapons limits the desire and curtals the ability to-
fight, while abundance of weapons and armament stim
ulaes warfare AS deprive individuals of weapons to-
keep the peace must deprive nations of weapons for
the AS police to restrain individuals
international police must restrain nations We combine to
take away the badmans gun and nations must combine to-
take away the bad nations armament.
The Washington conference is most hopeful sign
whether it does anything than make beginning in
limiting armamens 1t is sign that the world is coming
out of the period of reaction that followed the and
whemed the League Of Nations, sign that humanity isl
discardng the appeal to force

Black Eye;
MoUies Hit

Chicago, Dec. 29.-The movies,
jazz dancing and the cigarette, as
they affect our morals, were de-
nounced at today's session of the
International Purity conference.
w. S. Fleming, Chicago, manager
of the National Reform associa-
tion, addressed the delegates on
"the menace Of the movie" while
J. Louis Guyon, a dancing master,
also of Chicago, told "the truth
about jazz" Mr.. Guyon told Of
experiments in his own dancing
academy about the manner in
which jazz music demoralized the
young.
Mr.. Guyon declared the word
jazz had been for half a century
a slang expression. He said that if
the great number of refined per-
sons who now carelessly used this
word, knew its actual meaning, as
used in parts of the underworld,
they probably never would use the
word again.

Tariff On News
Print Argued On
Senate Committee

Washington, Dec. 20. - News
print occupied the full attention
of senate tariff makers, manufac-
turers asking for protection for
their industry and newspaper
publishers urging that the paper
be retained on the free list as pro-
posed in the Fordney bill.
Opening the discussion with a
presentation Of the arguments for
the manufacturers, Colonel Will
ian e. Haskell, vice president of
the International paper company,
declared that news print alone of
all paper was unprotected by a
tariff and that "the reason is OBJ
vious that the press can control
legislation"
The witness made no suggestion
as to the rate Of duty, leaving
that, he said, to the judgment of
the committee.

FURS NO MARK OF RICHES
mania Wear Collars and Hats
of Finest Astrakan.

The poorest farmer in the Near East
can afford aStrakan collars and hats;
and the man without a good piece of
fur on his OvercOat collar or a whole
fur lining is almost always beggar
or a foreigner from America or west
ern Europe, where these things cost
money.
Nobody wears more fur lining or
higher astrakhan hats than the cab
drivers.
These men cOmpOrt themselves with
a dignity equaled by no single other
class of men in the world, unless II
be by the priests of the Greek church.
\ long black plush garment, tight
at the collar and belted at the waist
by bath robe cord, envelopes them
from head to foot. Because 1t is
lined with fur, this garment makes a
man look far bigger than he really is.
And the high cOnical astrakan cap,
like curly Ounce cap, adds to his
stature.
Many of the drivers are said to be-
long to curious religious sect orig
mating In Russia, sect involving
ceIibacy. They spurn friendship with
women as likely to decrease their love
for their horses.
Whether this is true or not, it is
certain that the cab drivers are the
