1. As the butter substitute law
is being violated, that the term shall
be construed to mean all compounds

bination with milk or butter that
does not contain 80 percent of but
ter or milk fat or any other butter
or any compound calculat-
ed to be sold for butter or butterfat.
2. The county commissioners can
and do spend large sums of tax
money without limit in buying ma
chinery and other equipment with

amount of money the county COM
missioners may spend without adj
vertising the bids.

LEARNING A LESSON
BY THE RIGHT REV. e. D, LIZ d, d. l.,
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON

At the unveiling Of the beautiful monu-
ment erected on Vimy Ridge, where
thousands Of Canadian soldiers made the
supreme sacrifice. the King OF Great
Britain and outstanding Canadian ofi-
cials sought to give expression to the
weighty lessons that the tragedies of the
World War were designed to teach.
The King declared: Around us here
today there is peace and the rebuilding
Of hope" The prime minister of Canada
urged that the nations of Europe strive
to obliterate whatever makes for war
and for DEATH" Possibly the most notable
address was delivered by Mr.. lam Mac
kenzie, Canadian minister of national
defense. He said: I'VE are gathered here
not only in commemoration Of those who
died, but for the rededication Of the
cause Of peace" His final word was one
that must have searched the hearts of
those who were assembled on this his
toric spot. "Is 1t not time he said, "for
q weary, doubt-torn, tempest-tossed
world to turn its face to the cross and
find in Christian brotherhood and the
spirit Of good will the tranquil calm that
never can be found in futile and de-
structive strife?"
1t was At that, on this field Of struggle
and strife an effort should be made to
recover what seem to be the lost lessons
Of the Great War 1t was the Prince of
Peace who, In one Of His most significant
words, said: IF thou hadst known, even
thou, at least in this thy day, the things
which belong unto thy peace!" He was
seeking to accentuate the urgent need
of gathering from the experiences Of
life its great and impressive lessons. The
tragedies that we experience in our in
dividual and corporate life come from
our unwillingness to understand and ap-
preciate their significance.
For over 10 centuries of the Christian
era the world has witnessed the folly
and wickedness of war, and still it per-
sists growing in violence with each new
conflict. We have yet to find in Chris

refer to the monarch as signifying his
consent by afixing his seal.
Meanwhile, the text Of the copies Of
the Magma Charta preserved in the
British Museum shows that It conforms
to the custom Of the age which brought
1t forth. The opening lines are: John.
by the Grace Of God. King of England.
Lord Of Ireland, Duke Of Normandy and
Aquitaine, Count of Anjou, to the arch
bishops. bishops, abbots. earls. barons,
justiciars, foresters. sherifis, reeves, serv-
ants and all bailiffs and his faithful
people, greeting" At the close, there
appear the words: "Given by our hand
and in the meadow which is called
Runnymede, between Windsor and
staines, on the Fifteenth Day of June,
in the seventeenth year Of our reign"
Possibly. then. the original manuscript
long since lost-was both signed and
sealed. To many. the problem is aca-
demic. What matters is that the spirit
Of the Charter still survives and that
men still wish to be their own free and
independent masters. The Magma
Charta is commemorated on the doors of
the highest tribunal of the United States

tian brotherhood and the spirit of good
will the tranquil calm that never can be
found In futile and destructive strife"
Despite the affirmation of the cynic that
human nature cannot be changed and
that the combatiye spirit cannot be
curbed, we are compelled to believe as
we observe the later expressions that
proceed from leaders of the people that
progress is being made and that the
spirit Of the Prince of Peace is coming
more and more to dominate the minds
and the wills of men the world over.
The world has reached stage in its
development where it must recognize and
follow the leadership of the man on
horseback or the Man on the Cross, If it
would know the things which belong unto
its peace. The Master affirmed that to
recognize His ideal or philosophy of
hfe-the abundant life which He came
to bring-could not be enjoined by those
who were unwilling to recognize His
sovereignty in the realm of moral ideals.
He reckoned with the tendencies of
mans nature that made him impulsive
and combative. He also recognized that
these tendencies could not be resisted or
overcome unless supplanted by ideals
sustained and mottvated by utter devo-
tion to His will.
Men have employed many substitutes
and pursued many methods to gain that
which He sought to give through a
finer understanding Of life and its pur-
pose. 1t is clearly evident that all our
man-made plans and mechanisms have
failed us and failed us repeatedly in
times Of crisis. Mans search for peace
Is yet to be satisfied, and an ordered
and orderly world is still to be attained.
We proudly vaunt our desire to be good
neighbors," but we have a conceit that
this can be attained through the genius
and cunning of diplomacy. The only
thing that can validate our pacts and
treaties is fresh affirmation of our
willingness to obey the will of Him who
came to make men of one mind In the
house.

criticism of the designs on the doors of

The wide publicity accorded his charges

In the panels which otherwise never

to pause to examine them. The gain Is
obvious.
But Professor Corwin also has raised

A New Deal Paradox.

Governor Louis J. Brann, hope of the
Democratic New Dealers in Maine, has
declared on the eve of the election there
the New Deal is not in the campaign"
Here is a paradox that may need some
explaining If Brann should win in his
contest with Senator Wallace White, Re-
publican, for the latter's seat in the
upper house. Brann has been clearly
afraid to make the Roosevelt New Deal
an issue in the campaign. He has been
critical of New Dealers and New Deal
policies. And yet Brann entered the race
for Senator at the behest Of the New
Deals political generalissimo, Demo-
cratic Chairman James A. Farley, prob
ably with the full acquiescence of Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself.
Should Brann be elected no one will
more quickly hail his victory as New
Deal victory than the New Dealers he
has denied They are not squeamish
that way. Yet Brann has played for the
senatorship almost exclusively on the
ground that he is personally popular
with many of the voters. On the other
hand, if he is defeated, the New Dealers
may find little, a very little. satisfac-
ton in the announcement made by
Brann that "the New Deal is not in The
campaign"
The Office for which Brann Is con-
testing is not, in the national political
sense. a State Office. Brann's assertion.
therefore, that the New Deal is not in
this campaign is misstatement Of the
fact. There are to be elected in Maine
tomorrow. in addition to Senator,
three members of the national House Of
Representatives. The political COM
plexion of the House and Senate is a
matter of very vital interest in national
politics and national affairs
Furthermore. Governor Alf NJ Landon
Of Kansas, the Republican nominee for
President, last night declared in speech
In Portland. Me-. that the Maine elec-
ton has national aspect; that the
whole Nation is watching to see how
the Pine Tree State goes, pro-New Deal
or anti-New Deal. The Republican
presidential candidate, more confident
Of the result in Maine than the New
Deals hand-picked candidate for Sen
ator, has not failed to point out the
clear implication of the Maine election
Brann, on the other hand. has backed
away from 1t.

He openly boasted: "Cest ma guerre."
But what about Emperor william II
OF. Germany? Americans had supposed
that 1t was he who. in the language of
Ebert Hubbard. lifted the lid on He'll"
Much evidence certainly would be
needed to change q conviction enter
tanned by millions long schooled to esti-
mata character by performance. Yet
Hammerton and Barnes say: "The
Kaisers rapid and definite effort to hold
up the Russian general mobilization
stands out in sharp contrast to the COM
plete absence OF any such attempt on
the part Of Poincare Also the admitted
perturbation. If not dismay. of the
Kaiser In signing the war order was
something far different from the exuber-
ance and enthusiasm of Izvolski and of
Poincare and his associates when they
recognized that the war was on at last.
''' And France and Russia refused
Grey's proposal to submit the Austro-
Russian dispute to mediation. Germany
actually accepted and promoted Grey's
two latest proposals which he admitted
were better than his original conference
plan. It would appear that the imme-
diate responsibility for the war has to be
assigned to Serbia. though her action In
producing the assassination OF the Arch
duke would have had little European
significance without the aggressive inter-
vention Of Russia encouraged by
Poincare"
The heresy of views 50 radical may be
demonstrated by citation Of the fact
that their authors would have gone to
jail for them had they been uttered In
1917. Less than two decades later they
are largely unchallenged. Passions have
declined. knowledge has been enhanced
and eventually the whole terrible incl
dent may be seen in a light totally at
variance with that In which 1t was
beheld by those it affected most
sorrowfully.

Revising History.

The causes Of the World War of 1914
1918 probably will continue to be q mat
ter Of controversy for generations to
come. But without regard to any final
verdict which may be rendered centuries
hence 1t Is interesting to note that his
tory already Is being revised In line with
a more liberal concept OF justice toward
all the nations and peoples involved.
For example, it now is commonly and
universally conceded that the masses
nowhere were responsible for the out
break Of Armageddon. Their part in
the tragedy was merely that Of cannon
fodder-they fought and died as pawns
in cruel game Of chess whose players
were men they never saw, whose very
names were unknown to them. And the
helpless victims Of the contest, for that
reason II for none other, will be exon
Grated In the final assignment of blame.
Indeed. even today 1t is clear that they
were innocent.
A similar conviction with respect to
many leaders on both sides of the cata-
clysmic struggle also Is growing up in
the minds Of those who have studied
the record Of the strife. The "World
History recently published by Sir John
Hammerton and DR.. Harry Elmer
Barnes. tells in cold and candid prose
the tale Of the Vaccinations Of the
Russian Foreign Minister Izvolski, the
unprecedented sponsor Of q policy de-
signed consciously and deliberately to
solve Europes problems on q field Of
battle. He was the proposer Of Austria's
annexation Of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
o trick whose fruit was the assassina-
ton Of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand
at sarajevo, June 90. 1914; he "pur-
chased" Raymond Poincare's election to
the presidency Of France and thus won
free hand for the Gear, unhappy
Nicholas II. in the Balkans. Under his
control. Russia was the drst country to
