"PEACE ON EARTH"

A prize of 100000 has been of
fered for the best plan to brint
"Peace on Earth" Men have gropet
about for such a plan for many years
Today intricate schemes with 'reser'
vations" and qualifications are being
suggested-and all are rejected be-
cause of this or that objection.
The news OF the day, together witt
thought Of this latest offer of prize
reminds of our own Elihu Burrit'
with his ideal of a League of Uni
yersal Brotherhood. Others followed
him until the day of President Will
son with his League of Nations. But
Elihu Burritt was one of the first OF
modern times to make a concrete
suggestion on a matter which, today,
fills the minds of thinking men and
women. And back of Elihu Burritt' S
plan there was the inspiration which
is in harmony with the information
that a gathering containing repre-
sentatives of many religious denom-
nations and more than score of
! delegates from foreign countries has
sent message to the rulers of the
largest nations in the world that all
nations should unite in creating new
standards based upon the teaching of
Jesus"
Reading the news of this gathering
which advises trial of Christianity
as the means for obtaining peace on
earth, the first thought is that the
ideal is a beautiful one but impos-
sible of fulfilment; that the plan is
merely the theorizing of those who
hitch their wagon to a star far be-
yond the reach of man. But whether
or not we have the orthodox faith we
cannot find one great movement
which has brought joy and happiness
to the world for which sound rea-
son could not be found in His words.
If there is one vehicle for rejecting
the feeling of the people today 1t is
the moving picture screen. Shrewd
producers are ever on the watch for
a theme that will appeal to the pub
lie interest Prizes are offered for
bare ideas which may be transferred
to the screen in the form of stories
which will prove popular with the
people. One such producer offered a
large prize recently for such an idea.
"What theme" he asked, would be |
q good one on which to base a series |
of motion pictures?" And he Of
fered his prize to the person who
would bring in the best answer. The
prize was won. Several contestants
gave the same answer. 1t was so
simple and yet SO appealing, The
best theme for series of pictures,
the prize winners said, would be the
Ten Commandments.
So this shrewd producer received
the suggestion gratefully. Wise and
perhaps worldly, he saw the inspira-
tion in the suggestion.
When that peace plan comes,
1t be the existing League of
Nations or something else, it will be
based upon the thought that inspired
Elihu Burritt in his ideal of the Uni
versal Brotherhood. The anchor to
which all the delicate ramifcations Of
the practical arrangements will be
fixed will be true love of man for
man as inspired by Gods word.

IT is to be expected thai
Governor Moore will be taker
to task from time to time for
quoting Lincoln in support OF
his veto of the direct primary
law. There will always be
men who hold that if Lincoln
were here today he would adj
vocate the direct primary as
an Improvement over the
convention just as in his own
time he advocated the con-
vention as an Improvement
over the old caucus system of
nominating candidates. In
the meantime, while the
direct primary issue smoul-
ders until it is famed into a
flame in the next political
campaign, many citizens will
be generous enough to give
the governor credit for having
stood by his own convictions,
right or wrong, and while
politically many are not en-
tirely satisfied they will thank
him for about as rigid a par
ing down OF the states tax
burdens as would have been
made by any direct primary
governor that might have
been put in his place.
