THE VITAL SUBJECT "OUTLAWING WAR"

lHS duIitSS SlNtll bS Di' btOl Se ". c. Hill before the Protestant Ministers Association, on the sub ject of Flaming Mars" contained a wealth of information and aptly took up every angle of the anti-war controversy. An evident intent to be fair permeated the paper; its nature was one appealing to every thought full man and woman.
 To outlaw war in the method de- scribed may seem idealistic-too much so, perhaps, for some hard headed folk who do not believe in idealism. Yet the human race has seen much that was considered idealistic in the year 1900 become q commonplace of life.
 That war in most instances is the result of "yicious policies of selfish and scheming leaders" there can scarcely be a doubt. That was the reason for the last war; and it was thought for a time afterwards that because the fangs had been cut from some of the leaders believed to have been responsible for it that the possibility of future warfare was enormously lessened. Still, there have been some wars-minor ones since that time, with much conse- quent suffering.
 No one nowadays has the wish to talk in favor of war: Mars has no public friends. But the belief in war as an institution still exists. As Dr. Hill candidly says, such believers in war as an institution are en- tirely sincere-quite as sincere as those who oppose it. It is a differ ence of mental outlook upon the centuries-old practice of interna- tional dueling.
 In a day when the League of Ma tions is functioning as best it can as an instrument of arbitral settlement. when World Court adherence is still an issue In this country, when the need for peaceful settlements of international disputes still seems an important topic 10 national leaders. the churches as q body-all de- nominations included-do not hesi- tate to indicate on which side they stand. Their influence ought to have weight in the final outcome.
 War as it has been developed means devastation of noncombatants as well as combatants. Scarcely n year passes without the discovery of some new gas guaranteed able to wipe out cities; no year passes with out improved airplanes 10 spread the gas. War is no longer what it used to be. There are sincere people who have deduced logically and without eXagEeration, that the next major conflict would all but wine ont civilization as we have it. If the gases and the ways to use them turn out to do all that they are guaranteed 10 do there is scarcely any escape from this conclusion. It IS 10 prevent the possibility of such calamity that sincere workers for International amity are active in be- half of what they deem the most important question before the peo- ples Of he world.
 If anything is really done about if the United States by rights ought 10 be a leader. So far we have been afraid 10 lead, fearful Of foreign cntanrlements," foreign politics foreign "dOminatjnu

SOME QUESTIONS FOR ALDERMAN JUDD

Why Is 1t that Alderman William H. Judd should be so fearful of be- ing compelled to answer a question regarding money paid out of the city coffers without the sanction of the Common Council?
 Why is it that Alderman Judd, presiding officer as the Common Council meets, should so vigorously smother an attempt to ask an hon. est question about a vital matter?
 Why is 1t that Alderman Judd, aided and abetted by Alderman David L. Nair, who hurriedly inter- iected a motion to adjourn. should lend himself to such railroading methods?
 What is there about this payment of s75O to special counsel to assist Judge John H. kirkham, corpora tion counsel, that cannot stand the councilmanic spotlight at this time?
 True, the last meeting of the Common Council was called to consider an agenda of topics and the query about the $700 was not on the agenda. Alderman Judd. if he has suddenly become a stickler for considering only such topics "as advertised could have taken the trouble to explain why the question about the s750 might be left over for the following meeting. This would not have taken more than a few minutes and probably would have been satisfactory to the minor- ity party.
 Instead of doing the obvious act of courtesy toward Councilman Samuel Sablotsky, however, the sixth ward councilman found him. self squelched, affronted and waved aside with an air of utter contempt
 The facts are that the finance committee paid the s750 to the special counsel assistants without giving the Common Council an op- portunity to sanction the payment. It Is logical for any councilman, any citizen. to ask why this procedure was taken, for such payments are supposed to pass under the scrutiny Of the Common Council. If the cor poration counsel needs assistance the Common Council, of all bodies in the city government, should know about it and be willing to foot the bills If the Common Council is not to have a say In such matters, what is 1t for, anyway?
 The railroading idea still seems paramount in the minds of the Judd wing in the Council. It is high time citizens realized the possibilities and potentialites of the railroading prin- ciple In the city government. It is really fortunate that there was only sI50 involved, instead of s7500. If 1t is a case of railroading it can be the higher amount as easily as the lower.
 The principle is dead wrong. Lei there be light, no railroading, no sub rosa payments by the finance committee or any other committee. and a greater sum total of courtesy and gentlemanly conduct In the Common Council

states there was little more, so that
a more stable government must be set
up if the spirit of independence tested
upon the fields of the revolution was
to endure. So the constitution was
written and Washington was inaugu-
rated. Israel passed thru the same
situation and followed the same
course. The Judges were local lead
ers with the probability that more
than one may have lived at the same
time. There was no means of uni
form action on the part of the tribes
and as they were under the power of
Philistia SO that no smith was allowed
in Israel in the early days of Saul one
realizes how imperative a central
government was becoming and why
Samuel was so interested in the
choice. He was shrewd enough to
pick one from the weak tribe of
Benjamin SO that the antagonisms of
strong Judah and Ephraim might not
interfere and Saul had his hearty
support. The choice was indicated
by the victory over Ammon.
Then came the final meeting at the
sacred place in Gilgal, the place of
covenant under Joshua, at which the
cornation was concluded and the
rulership definitely given to Saul.
Here was the pledging of the people
to loyalty to Jehovah as well as to
the king and the dramatic resignation
of Samuel from his position of au-
thority. In their presence he deman-
ded the full clearing of his admins
tration. Had he defrauded any one?
Had he veraccepted bride? Had he
oppressed any one? And they voiced
their approval of all that he had
done during this judgeship. Then
follows his farewell address and his
pledge of support for the new admin
istration by continuous prayer for the
nations good. He was never greater
than in the day he surrendered his
office to another with his benediction
upon the new occupant.
