Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-04-25

Pacifism is growing. Northwestern
university students have advanced
from 80 to 70 in their enrolment, and
are increasing. The cry of disap-
proyal has not daunted the few, but
has only served to uncover a pacifist
tendency in many others.
There is nothing alarming in this,
If America is to be a pacifist nation
it is better if the movement starts
among college students. But students
are not alone. To hear world wal
veterans talk there will be no more
going to war in this generation. Many
of the vets are apparently soured on
war and are open in their expressions
of resentment when the topic is made
a subject of discussion.
But this is all peace talk, or rather
talk in time of peace. What these
vets and students would say if the
American flag were in danger from
japanese invasion would have an en-
tirely different ring.
America is not in danger from
pacifism. 1t is merely gossiping
about what it would do if bold bandit
holds up a train. 1t would politely
hand over its wad to the bandit ant
say: After you, my dear Alphonse.

The property owner who gets drunk
is seldom fined, as Champaign and
Urbana police court records clearly
indicate. While property owners and
men of capital are seldom called to
account.
Again it is possible for a man with
money to purchase all the liquor he
wants and much more than he needs,
while the workingman is compelled to
buy a grade of moonshine that is
worse than a torchlight procession
going down the throat--that is if he
insists on drinking.
This argument, however, is faulty
from the viewpoint of those who wish
to protect the workingman against
himself. 1t is argued that prohibi-
ton affords an opportunity for the

The mass of American citizens be
lieve that races who cannot adapt
their modes of living to American
customs should be excluded from all
advantages that are accorded Ameri-
can people, and should not be per
mitted to occupy lands that have been
conquered and improved by American
citizens.
Of this class only one nationality
resents the action of Congress in pass
ing the immigration bill. These are
the japanese. Unquestionably Japan
is the most progressive nation of the
Orient. 1t has advanced phenomenally
through the adaptation of occidental
customs; but it seems that there is
racial antipathy which prevents the
assimilation of the japanese imml-
grant. He does not want to mix with
Americans and Americans do not
look with favor upon the mixture.
The only possible reason he can
have for coming to America Is to
make capital out of American indus
tries. He is not in any sense a
builder of our civilization-exactly
the opposite. He would adapt America
to his mode of living, his ways of pro-
curing entertainment, his religion
and everything else that is peculiarly
Japanese. In other words he would
turn America into an Oriental coun-
try, and thus quench the spirit of adj
vancement that has made this the
most attractive country on the globe.

But has any law functioned to the
letter? The majority of prohibitory
laws are directed against tendencies
of human nature that are normally
good. The 'Thou shalt nots" of the
decalogue some of them at least, are
directed to the curtailment of vices
that arise out of intemperant and
unwarranted use of normal bodily
passions.
The laws of the decalogue have
never been rigidly enforced. They
have been re-interpreted in every
generation. Yet their validity is recog-
nized in the constitution of every
civilized nation in the world. Conse-
quently they have never been repealed.
Prohibitory laws in general are in
compatible with human nature. For
this reason they will be disregarded;
yet is this sufficient warrant for re-
pealing them? Obviously the nations
OF the earth have answered in the
negative with respect to the deea-
logue. So far as the prohibition
amendment is concerned it is highly
probable that America has set a
standard as high and lofty with re.
speet to temperance as that set by
Moses with respect to the social evils
of his day. If this is true it would
be folly for America to lower its
standard within a few years because
the law has been disregarded.

Wayne B. Wheeler, legal counsel
for the Anti-Saloon League will OPP
pose any change in the present plan,
while Samuel Gompers and others of
less prominence will advocate the re-
turn of beer of mild alcoholic content.
Mr.. Gompers' position should be
understood. He believes that the
present prohibition law is working
havoc to law enforcement in general
because of the fact that the law is
generally disregarded. He believes
further that the law is discrimina-
ton against the working man, and
that it is enforced only to the injury
of the country's toilers.
This last is unquestionably true

Whatever else the X. X. K. may
have done it is to be commended fol
one thing, that of giving the United
States a slogan America for Ameri-
cans"
That multitude of American cii-
zens are klansmen when it comes to
accepting the slogan is indicated in
the wave of approval that has greeted
the action of the United States con-
gress in favoring the exclusion act
in connection with foreign immigra-
ton.
Union Labor throughout the country
will sanction Congress for its de-
cisive action because of the effect upon
labor conditions created by wholesale
foreign immigration. This as a mat
ter of good business policy.
In the opinion of Union Labor
leaders enough of Europe's third class
citizens have already been admitted
to the United States. The natios
can now afford to call decisive halt
in the interest of protecting its own
people.

Interpretation of this prohibition
amendment in line with human ma
ture. 1t may do this legitimately, if
it does so sincerely and without bias.
But it is dangerous expedient to
lower a standard as lofty as the
Eighteenth amendment purely out of
regard for the frailty of human ma
ture. This would imply a grant of
license to indulge in excuses which
should be forbidden.

But would America do this if japan
were to insist by force of arms on
colonizing the western states? Not
likely. We may recall that America
not long ago turned from pacifism to
militarism over night. In the early
stages of the world war someone COM
posed a popular ditty that perfectly
expressed Americas pacifism. ~ did
not raise my boy to be a soldier"
was sung from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and applauded to the echo.
Overnight parody was substituted:
II did not raise my boy to be a sol
der; | raised him up to be a John

Peace is a beautiful thing to talk
about when war is three thousand
miles away. 1t is something else
when it approaches our dooryard.
Pacifsm will never accomplish
much if applied to one nation alone.
1t must be a world movement. You
can't talk pacifism with an enemy

which refuses TO fight in defense IS
silly nonsense. A paeifist spirit which
refuses to fight except in a worthy
cause is justifable. No other paei-
fism is warranted in America until

What Composes Agate.

Agate is a variety of quartz COM
posed of successive layers of silica de-
posted from saturated water
solution. Slight amount of impurities
in the silica solution produces different
colors in the agate, giving rise to band
ed agate, in which the successive lay
ers are of different color; clouded
agate, which has irregularly disposed
patches of color, and moss agate,
which contains sharply defined, moss
like, dark markings due to manganese
oxide. Agates are found universally
and are much used, when cut and pol
ished, for ornaments and jewelry. The
principal supply comes from Uruguay
and Brazil, South America, whence
they are sent to Oberstein, in Ger
many where their polishing is an i'm

"Wanfed' Men Hard to
Find in the Far East

Major Bailey is wanted, the notice
on the boarding told me; and instantly
my mind flew back to a land where
boardlngs are heavy with notices of
wanted men who are never found.
Every town in the East has a lengthy
list of men who are wanted for crimes.
The natives affirm that no true Grim
inal is ever brought to book, but that
the police, to Justify themselves, from
time to time, make an innocent man
pay the penalty of another's sin.
The fact is, of course, that the or
binary methods of detection as we
know them in the West are useless in
the East Few there can read notices,
even though they be printed in the
vernaculars of the populace, and so a
crier parades the streets with a little
drum followed by rabble Of ur-
chins) to tell them of the latest man
who is wanted by the police.
The people come to their doors, and
when the crier has passed and the
taps of his drum have grown faint
they whisper among themselves. The
chances are that they all know where
the wanted man is hiding but they
are all resolved never to give him up.
Not all rewards in the world Will
make them tell the crier what they
know; for the East is a land where
vendettas still prevail and every ma
tive is aware that a man possesses
power to strike even after he is dead.
So, after the crier has passed, the
criminal leaves his hiding place and
moves on to the next township, toward
the frontier where also he is sure OF
shelter and security.
