While the average death rate was
greatly reduced by the change
Corporation management conquered
greater realms
Business men lived longer than IA
nous generals
Welded wider and more permanent
leadership
Manufacture and commerce began
to put new premiums on skill
Even men in the ranks rated higher
for production than for destruction
Mailed fists were replaced by arms
Of the Law
Rule of Legal Rights crystallised
Rights of Conquest
Until Civilization imposed upon the
Nations

Framework, scaffolding, skeleton of
this body
Democracy became essential, how
ever qualified
To peaceful acquiescence in control
by possession
Security could be had only by peace
in the world
War threatened to disturb all legal
property relations
War became more costly than it's
loot could balance
For those who are in possession
Only common consent gave power
to property
Which could be had, when and so
long
AS distribution of benefits out
weighed
Possibilities of loot
Then arose the Have Nots-
Coming too late to the battle fields
They rallied to leaders who imple-
mented their envy
Saw world fat and fearsome-
Refusing to WELD or adequately to
fashion
Weapons Of terror, or impose dis
ciplines Of war
Smashers Of accepted customs, de-
posed gods Of peace
And now put Democracy to its final
test
OF threatened Universal War.

Truths Pondered While
Riding at
Anchor
Then gently scan
your brother man"
Then gently scan
your brother man"
BY Mr.. Modestus-

Peace
Or security
Men have not always wanted
peace
Sometimes, not wishing to be dis
turbed-
Men have been willing to go to war
for the sake Of peace
Then, there have been the men who
lived by war
Tartars, Goths, Huns, Vikings,
Norsemen-
Legions of Rome, and Mohammedan
hordes-
These did not want security, for very
long at time
Blood-letting was their tradition
Every nerve, muscle and impulse
was trained for battle
They fought for, the raiders loot
They thought little Of farming, less
of craftsmanship
Except that they made armour and
built fighting ships
If they tarried TOO long at the camp
or homestead
Their women taunted them as cow
ards
The trail of the soldier is a long,
long trail
Coming down all the centuries
Path by which mankind has trav-
eled to where it is today
Red-blooded men, have always been
those who could fight
History
Has been mainly the story of war
and battles
Only recently has emphasis fallen
elsewhere
Human aequisitiveness discovered
easier roads to wealth
Dying soldiers could not take it
with them
Possession came to be more impor-
tant than risk of battle
Power passed from the point OF
sword
To the holder of title deeds
Miners picks brought more gold
than swords and lances
