WAR OR PEACE?


I read in the papers about "war
to end war" "War to end war, for
sooth. Why, that is exactly as if
we were to sally forth on crusade
to end whiskey by drinking dry all
the distilleries. We should only ag-
gravate an inherited taste, and the
distillers would soon get busy again
to satisfy it." These are the words
of Sir Tan Hamilton, a British vet
eran of many wars, winner of the
Victoria Cross, and a military lead
err of proved ability. Like the late
Lord "Bobs," under whom he fought,
he is a believer in preparedness
for war. but a staunch advocate of
peace. He has no faith, however, in
the theory that evil can be over
come by evil, or that lighting the
devil with fire will transform the
Prince of Darkness into good
angel, Dearborn Independent.

LAWS TO ENCOURAGE
AUTO ACCIDENTS


Although a flood of compulsory
automobile insurance bills were in
PRODUCED in the various legislatures,
the tabulated list already exceeding
sixty, very few of them got any
where. In great majority of cases
the strong arguments made against
the measures were sufficient to
postpone action.
The reason against the plan are
many and cogent and were well set
forth in the report of the Commit
tee of Nine appointed to consider
such measures. This report holds
that such laws would not prevent
automobile accidents, but would
rather tend to increase them, and
outlines the other arguments against
the plan and the inevitable tenden-
cy to encourage state insurance
Edison S. Lott, President, United
States Casualty Company, says the
one remedy that meets the whole
situation of automobile accident
insurance, compulsory or otherwise,
is prevention of accidents.
"The prevention of accidents" he
says, "is worth more than all the
compensation in the wide world for
accidents. Therefore, we should first
concentrate our efforts on preven-
ton, and avoid any partial remedy
or mere palliative that might tend
to divert public attention from such
objective. Above all, we should
avoid any palliative that might tend
to increase the public dangers from,
motor traffic rather than to pre-
vent or reduce them" THE Man.

THE CHILDISH FEARS OF LIFE

=
The other day on Bridge street
a little tot came along with dog
of doubtful breed, and which was
nearly as big as his little mis-
tress. A drove Of five or six dogs
came hocking around the corner, and
the dog accompanying the little tot
of course had to go out into the
street and investigate the excite
ment
The little girl became frantic.
Fears assailed her childish mind
that her beloved dog was going to
be torn to bits by that formidable
gathering of strange dogs. But any
one with half an eye could see
that her dog was capable of TAX
ing care of himself should it become
necessary-which it didn't. Because
the dogs were all friendly.
But she couldn't see that. All
she saw was a group of strange
dogs who hopelessly outnumbered
her pet. And she began to scream.
Her fright was pitiable, and pas
sersby stopped to learn the cause
of it.
Her dog heard the screams. and
with that beloved instinct of friend
Illness which a dog has for his mas
ter or mistress, left the group Of
dogs and trotted to her side where
he rubbed against her and stood
wagging his tail as good as to
say, Don't be afraid! Pm here,
and that bunch of nuts don't
amount to a hill of beansW
The scene was typical of the fears
that assail all humanity constant
ly thru life We are daily confront
cd with problems that present
strange situations we dread. Their
strangeness is always the chief
cause of our fears, like rowing dogs
who look formidable, but who are
at heart friendly.
If we put fear from our hearts
and confront our problems with
courage we will always find them
good at heart

TO BECOME USEFUL
MEMBER OF SOCIETY
Chicago, Ill.,-When the status
of a World War veteran as use
full or detrimental member of So
ciety was hanging in the balance,
The American Legion threw its
weight into the scale, it was dis
closed here recently, and the in
dicator now points to a good citi-
zen.
Brown( not his real name) came
to Chicago when the snow was
packed high against the dingy win
dow sill of the one room which he,
his emaciated wife and two tat
tered children were forced to occupy.
The father was jobless until the
landlord "got tired of the stalling"
and put the family in the street
one cold night.
The Salvation Army took them
in for two days and found the
father a job in a garage. On the
third day after they had been evic-
ted, the father was discharged be-
cause of lack of business in the
garage. Browns babies were hungry.
He slipped under his coat an electric
drill worth $40, as he left the gar
| age. He sold it or $3.50 to buy food
| for the babies. He was arrested,
charged with grand larceny and
thrown in Jail. He could not ask
for more help from the Salvation
Army.
/ Mrs. Brown started out to look
for lawyer and a job. She found
neither. Legal talent knew the shaw
led type; good material to plead a
jury to tears with, but not remun-
erative.
! They turned to The American Le-
gion. The service department as
signed Assistant Judge Advocate
Emmett |. Harrington to the case.
Harrington got Browns case ad-
vanced and by working through the
states attorneys office secured a
dismissal of the charge for want
of prosecution. In the meantime
Browns family was fed, clothed and
housed by the Auxiliary of Theo-
dore Roosevelt post of The Legion
here.
The Legion got Brown job with
a taxi company. Brown said: "The
Legion put me back on the straight
and narrow, Pm going to stay
there"

authority that is doing more to
repel liberal-minded men and wo-

creeds-to creeds which can no
longer be honestly accepted nor

of those who claim the privilege to
