It was not the ballyhoo posters,
depicting the most dangerous ami
mails in the most enraged and deVas-
tating states OF min rs. which caused
Harvey Bowers to hesitate at the
entrance TO the animal.tent, but a
woman's voice.
It was a cold. hard voice to which
words seemed to come easily. 1t was
kind OF voice often associated with
persons who, because OF economic
pressure, have no time for the In.
essential. 1t was voice OF author
ity. and 1t was laying down the law.
1t was finding fault and reproVing,
but 1t was not an angry voice.
Indeed it seemed to find kind of
humor in its own utterances. But the
voice must have been addressing It.
self to a very meek and humble au-
dience. for there was never once the
sound of an answer or word Of re-
monstrance in some other voice.
He gathered presently hat the
voice was the voice OF an exas-
perated mother. dressing down a
daughter who had misbehaved. The
scolding came to sudden stop. and
Bowers had begun to lift the flap Of
the tent. when 1t started up again.

in the last 10 or 20 years. Wars
returning with a mood of rabid jingoiSm
and mere black, blind injustice to the
enemy; followed by equally blind and
blank reaction of pacifism, really merit
ing no better name than fatigue; and
then, in due course, another blind war
arising out of the same blank oblivion.
Because some of our mere jingoes were
angry with Germans without reason,
we grew tired of being angry with Ger
mans without reason; and now we
find that Germans are just as angry
with us, also without reason. So long
as militarism means only being angry,
and pacifism means only being tired, that
horrible cycle of hostilities will return.
Until mankind has, as any magistrate
has, the moral courage to say that this
man is right and the other man wrong,
things will go on as they are. For long
interludes we may even call it peace; but
what it really is is oblivion; we are SO
utterly weary of quarreling that for
about 10 years or so we are content to
lie. down and wait for the next quarrel

Chinch Bug War Hard

CONGRESS in the last session voted an ap-
~ preparation of a million dollars to halt
the ravages of the chinch bug in the corn
belt and this money was used to build barriers
totaing 10000 miles along which creosote
halted the advance of the insects.
The chinch bug, however, has two genera
tions in a single season, the first generation
being a crawling insect which can be con-
trolled by the creosote barriers, but the second
generation, flying, is not halted by this form
of control.
Experts estimate that the million dollars
spent on control measures saved at least $4,-
900 900 worth of corn.

to Alexander Shepherd and his birthplace. to
Mayor Bradleys old home, now no longer; to

In addition, the Convention has

In criticism Of the work of the

great weakness was the failure to
