war had ended in November. 1918. In
but that was a big mistake. The war
had not ended In 1918: in a very real
sense It had only just begun. Tho

But horrible and gigantic as a

League insufficient.
1t was here that one had to look 10"
the real cause of war and. u%nhappily.
this was something which could not
be cured by the simple formation OF a
League of Nations. The representa-.
tives who were sent from the various
nations were all drawn from the same
group which brought on the last war
and they still believed In the same
predatory economic system that had
wrought 50 much ruin in the past.
The first step that would have 20
be taken was to curb the power or
the small group Of predatory tlnnn-
clers and bankers in all countries VINO
strove to use all the OF gov
eminent to gain their ends. Tod ay
the mass Of people were In absolute
ignorance OF the sinister forces that
were working the worlds ruin and
ignorant also Of the fact that these
very forces ran their respective gov
ernments and could force peace Of
war in treir own interests.
One OF the greatest de!usions OF
our tire was the belief that we were
possessed of n democracy in all the
great nations to-day. Nothing could
be- further from the truth. The goH-
ernmcnls OF the various nations were
In the power OF those who had econ
omic central uf that country and the
great mass Of people did for the most
part as these powers decided. Tho
people as a whole were 100 a~pathetiC
and u%nthinking eve to know how
the government was really carried on.
The first step. then. towards the
abolition o. war was an enlightened
democrat who had control Of their
own destiny and the lives OF their
own sons. Such a democracy would
see to It that again would the
people be lured into war by spectouE
calls to patriotism when all the while

No Cause for Hate.
The peoples OF the different nations
rad no cause at ans time to hate each
other and every cause 10 feel their

peoples through their chosen repre-.
scntatives ought to arranre the world

ton making and growing what it was
best fitted for and all freely trading
with each other without tariff walls.
All the rich, unexpected parts OF the
would should be equally available for
the good OF all end not Tor the alnass-
ing OF colossal profit for a few.
1t would be then. and only then.
when the people Of the nations really
began to govern themselves and cou-
troll the financial groups who had
wrought so much havoc that they
could send representatives Of thu
right sort to 4 real League OF Nations
to enforce total disarmament and en-
sure the peace Of the world.

FINE FEATHERS. FINE BIRDS.

Whether flno feathers make fine birds may
be disputed, but, literally speaking, fine birds
have fine feathers. PROOF OF this statement may
DO obtained at the seventh annual show Of the
Tulsa county branch OF the oklahoma Poultry
federation. which was opened Thursday night
at convention hall
Tho finest feathered flocks of Oklahoma and
adjoining states have been brought here for the
show. which is revelation to poultry ralsers
themselves as well to those whose acaualn-
tance with the habits and charact terlstics OF
chickens is limited to a knowledge OF removing
their feathers with the aid OF scaldlns water
and OF dressing them FOR Sunday dinner
breeding leaves It's positive mark on chickens
as well as on other fowls and animals The per-
son who never has raised a chick or who doesn't
know the difference between barred rock ana
Rhode Island red. quickly recognizes pre-
ferred stock Mt a poultry show, Just as he In
stnctlvely perceives quality at a livestock cx-
position.
IT Is commendable that Tuea county poultry
ralsers especially are discarding mixed focks
OF dunghill fowls In favor OF the best breeds
that have been evolved by scientific and pro-
longed experiments, and tho poultry show this
week Is bound to furnish an Inspiration for
those who cling to the old fashioned idea that
a chicken s only chicken.
II also is satisfying to find Tulsa county farm
ers are taking such an active Interest I'm the
