| WAR OF
CONQUEST

@MSLEY w. JOHNSON, in
r. an address Sunday at the
LII opening Of Camp Shank
the only naval reserve training
camp for boys in the United
States, declared that America
fought only for defense Of the
American Flag and to preserve
it's institutions.
with pride Americans can
point to a record Of waging war
not for territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
but for preservation of her in
situations and for humanity" he
said.
The purity of our warmaEing
motives is often stressed by
patriotic orators. And we adopt a
national holier-than-thou attitude
toward nations who engage frank
ly in wars Of conquest. But other
nations, particularly Latin-Ameri-
can States, believe we are con-
flrmed land-grabbers and war for
territory. Perhaps they have
cause.
Since our wars with Great
Britain the United States has en-
gagged in three major conflicts with
foreign nations. the war with
Mexico. the Spanish-American con-
flict, and the World War. None
of these was a war of conquest,
but
As a result of her defeat Mexico
ceded to us territory now COM
prising the States Of California,
Nevada, Utah, Arizona and parts
of Colorado and New Mexican
area greater than all Europe out
side of Russia. That was acquired
by force of arms.
From the hostilities with Spain
we emerged with title TO the
Philippines, Porto Rico and Guam
and guardianship of Cuba.
In addition to these foreign wars
the United States for almost a
century was continually engaged
in Indian wars. After every one
or these conflicts the aborigenes
lost land. They were ruthlessly
pushed off the map.
Only from the World War did
America emerge without territorial
accretions. From that we ac-
quired only a magnificent debt.
Such is the record. Despite the
high motives that have impelled
the United States to draw the
sword has any nation gained more
territory by successful warfare in
the A century,

4 or evolutionists who started
the story that man descended
from a monkey or an ape.
More than likely it grew out Of
the fact that come men discovered
in others what they thought was a
likeness to the monkey.
1t is quite common to compare
some men 20 the fox, others to the
lion and still others to a tiger, by,
ena, wolf, dog or even the snake.
But that doesn't mean that men
so compared are descended from the
animal whose peculiarities they are
charged with possessing.
Probably the monkey is most
often mentioned because more men
seem to make monkeys of them
selves than lions, tigers, hyenas,
and wolves.
Singularly enough the educated
monkey who acts most like a human
being appears to be the cutest. Some
of them have been taught when and
how to use knife, fork, spoon and
other eating tools; and some have
learned to wear swallowed tailed
coats and regular pressed pants.
Only those who take themselves
too seriously and other animals too
lightly get feverishly offended when
likened to the animals. Many seem
to like It.

NIX KINGDOM
FOR A HORSE

~1HE Department Of Agricul-
ture has just completed
~ horse survey of Wayne
County Qnd.). OF the total horses
in, the county only 1.6 per cent
were yearlings instead Of the 81
per cent necessary to maintain the
present supply.
The situation throughout the
country is similar. Equine pro-
duction is far behind replacement
needs. In consequence horses are
getting scarcer and their market
prices are moving upward.
Horses have almost vanished
from the cities. The jingling
spans drawing the open-faced
barouches Of the plutocrats ere
seen no more. The ambling
dobbins and sidebar buggies of
lesser citizens have likewise gone.
Only a few milk-wagons and
dispirited garbage wagons are
still horse-drawn.
But there is stiIl work for the
horse.
On the farm he performs many
tasks more economically and eff
GENTLY than can be accomplished
by barking gasoline tractor with
castiron brains. On the bride
path, for a proper display Of rid
ing habits, he is indispensable.
For other purposes he is also use
full. What would the Kentucky
Derby be without a few horses?
The thunder of hoofs has echoed
down the ages. ! Now though
drowned by the honk Of automo-
biles they must continue to echo
somewhat. Not yet can we get
along without them. The phrase
my kingdom for a horse" still
means something.

given by the mayor to policemen
detailed to guard Indianapolis
banks. Likewise in Chicago.
where a cleanup of gangsters and
gunner Is in progress, officers
have been instructed to shoot to
kill.
Doubtless the seriousness OF the
wave Of banditry and outlawry
demands drastic action. But why
is a dead outlaw so universally
preferred to a captured live one?
The law provides adequate
penalty for punishment of such
malefactors If vigorously en-
forced.
However leniency Of courts and
parole boards, and the successful
obstruction Of justice by shrewd
criminal lawyers, which makes
conviction difficult, enable bandits
to escape proper punishment for
their misdeeds. Dead or alive
but preferably dead" is an indie
ment of our lax administration Of
criminal justice.

10 far as | am concerned, the labor
- movement begins and ends with the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers"
This statement of Warren S. Stone exem-
plifed the trait in the great labor leader that
subjected him to most criticism. What he said
frankly Of himself was more than once said,
in bitterness, Of the powerful organization
which he headed Other labor organizations
have complained of the disposition of the rail
road brotherhoods to go it alone. Leaders of
the less skilled railroad workers, struggling
to bring their organizations up to position OF
power and mutual helpfulness resembling that
of the Brotherhoods, have made the complaint.
American Federation of Labor officials de-
sirous of the added strength that would result
if the Brotherhoods could be brought within
the federation, have done the same.
Bat Stone and his organization went their
own way The "aristocrats of the labor
world they have been called.
But, going it alone, they contributed
greatly to the aggregate power of organized
labor and in very recent years they led organ
lied labor as whole in one of the greatest ad-
vances it has made That advance is the edu-
cation of labor in the mysteries Of modern
finance. They pioneered in the formation of
labor banks, which are spreading so
te1dily over America as to have become al
most commonplace. The man who stepped
from his engine cab to become grand chief of
his brotherhood was at his death not only the
head of vastly increased labor organization,
but the head of labor financial institutions
whose resources aggregated 100000, 900. He
was making labor's money pay its dividends to
labor. He had taken the engineers savings
out of hands that sometimes used it against
the engineers. And labor organizations gen
orally were beginning to follow his example:
Stones philosophy was practical Here is
his attitude toward his fellow railroad work
men:
II do not believe in forcing men to join
union. If they want to join all right, but it
is contrary to the principles or free govern
ment and the Constitution of the United States
to try to make him join. We of the engineers
wo willingly side by side with other
engineers every day who do not belong to our
union, though they enjoy without any objec-
ton on our part the advantages which we
have in the union others we cannot get What
] say is, make the union so good that they will
want to join"
And here is his attitude toward railway
employers:
"After years of struggle the engineers
have succeeded in organizing. They have
blazed the path and fought some of the hard
est battles known to organized labor We are
wholesomely respected now and the door of
every operating official is open to me because
/ have $4,000 men at my back If I hadn't
couldn't get by the colored funky at the
door,
Stone had obviously the attributes that
have led more than one American worker out
of the ks of the employed to become a CAP
tain of industry. He preferred to become
captain of labor instead On the whole his
was one of the notably useful careers of his
time.

Why should milk be pasteurized?
Is 1t not true that pasteurization
affects the nutritive value Of the
milk?
Milk should be pasteurized to pro
tect consumers from any possible
danger of receiving milk carrying
the organism of infections diseases
Proper pasteurization, that Is, at las
degrees F. for thirty minutes, kills
all diseaseproducing organisms in
milk. Properly done. the process
minimizes infections from cattle that
have not been tested and found free
from tuberculosis and infections
from certain human diseases such
as diptheria, typhoid. scarlet fever
and septic sore throat. The effect
Of heat on milk has been the sub
ject Of much scientific reasearch.
Experimental evidence UP TO the
present time indicates that pasteur-
ization at the temperature and for
the time specified does not injure
the chemical or nutritive values Of
the milk to any appreciable degree.
1t is possible that one vitamin in
milk-the one which protects against
scurvy-is injured or destroyed by
pasteurization. This is Of little i'm
portance. except in the feeding Of
infants. To make up for any possible
loss of this vitamin, orange or
tomato juice is given regularly when
pasteurized milk is used in infant
feeding.
Is Denmark a Scandinavian
country or do the people OF the
country merely call 1t that. What
are the real Scandinavian coun-
tries?
The Scandinavian countries are
Norway, Sweden and Denmark Din
GLIDING Iceland. But Norway and
Sweden alone are often spoken OF
as the scandinavian Peninsula.
Hence the confusion in using the
terms.

Hoosiers filed returns and that of these 1852

Russian Industry Shows
Marked Economic Gains


Statistical reports on Russian in
dustry and commerce for the first half
Of the current Soviet fiscal year, Octo.
Der to April /, received by the Rus
sian Information Bureau at Washing
ton, D. c., show marked economic
gains. The bureau summarizes the
reports as follows:
1.-THE gross industrial output in
creased A per cent over the previous
half year and IS per cent over the
first half of the fiscal year 1923-24.
Among the heavy industries the metal
industry showed the greatest gain.
"The average labor force in indus
try increased only IL per cent over
the previous half year, but there was
a marked qualitative improvement in
the productive process. Owing to the
bad harvest gain prices rose sharply
during the period, but prices of virtu-
ally all other commodities declined.
Russian economists declare that
the statistics of the half-year prove
that the Soviet union has passed the
stage where even bad harvest can
halt the general economic revival
