“WISDOM IS BETTER THAN WEAPONS OF WAR”

Rabbi Rudolph C. I. Coffee at Temple Judea, Chicago, said in his sermon last Sunday, taking for ihis text the words at the head of this article, from Ecc. ix., 16: Already 2,000 years ago the Bible knew that wisdom was preferable to .brute strength, but we still have to convince modern minds of that truth. The three great religious forces in America —Catholicism, Judaism and Protestantism—all teach the superiority of knowledge over ffteel and gun-qiowder, yet we find in every city of America leading citizens who bxalt munitions over mind. Why should we not all stand behind Wilson and Taft in their great efforts to exalt peace and repudiate war? There is no honest dispute, be it between nations or individuals, which cannot be fairly settled through arbitration; Wien why resort to weapons of war? For the past 1,600 years both France and Germany believed in arms and forts as the safest protection for their boundaries, and there was not a year in which either country felt absolutely safe. America and Canada trusted to •wisdom as a better means of set-

Why,' my folks wouldn’t use anything elser* That’s the general nation-wide esteem in which this, well-known remedy is held. Its action is prompt, its taste pleasant, its relief gratifying. Half a century of cold and cough checking. Sold by druggists everywhere. Bowels Out of Kilter? That’s nature calling for relief. Assist her in her daily duties with Dr. King’s New Life Pills.

tling their disputes. With not a single fort between the two countries, the peace has been steadily maintained. Surely after the terrible toll of 20,000,000 lives either wiped out or wounded in the great world war, one would expect the death sentence to be placed on weapons of war. Alas, we still have Jingoists who urge monster navies and universal military preparedness. They forget that wisdom will hereafter rule in the hearts of our citizens.

TELUS OF CONDITIONS AT BREST

Secretary of Navy Daniels Visits ('amp; Finds Much to I*raise. Brest, March 2«. —Secretary of the Navy Daniels, after his investigation of camp conditions at Brest, gave out the following statement: "I have spent a portion of two rainy days in the camp at Pontenezen and it rains 330 days out of the year here. I have seen more than 50,000 American troops encamped here waiting for embarkation home and have conferred with scores of officers and many mien just from the front. “This morning I walked for miles on h solid board walk from tent to tent in which the marines are quartered and in the wooden barracks where the soldiers sleep. I the modern kitchens and dining rooms and saw where dinner for ■5,000 marines was prepared in one of the twelve kitchens. This large number is fed in 40 minutes and just as ninny arg fed in the 11 other kitchens. “I sat upon the beds of the soldiers, and ate my midday meal with them. The meal was well cooked, palatable and plentiful and tasted as good as any 'meal I ever ate in my life. The midday meal consisted of a large helping of roast lees, mashed potatoes, stewed carrots, rich meat gravy, btead pudding with raisins, two large slices of white bread and a large cup of coffee. Over the entrance of each of the dining halls is a large sign in French which freely translated mfeans that you can have as much food as you want and go home right away. Few asked for a second helping, for the first helping was more than most of the soldiers could eat at one time. “The soldiers were happy when I told them that Rear-Admiral Halstead had just received a message that the first of the German transports to carry American troops home had been commissioned with

a navy crew and that others would follow, the navy personnel already having arrived on this side to man them. It heartened them to know that in the harbor of Brest was the mighty Leviathan ready to carry 12,000 soldiers home and that four battleships were being coaled preparatory to taking soldiers back home. “The outstanding impression 1 brought with me out- of the rainy days at Pontanezen is the buoyant and cheerful spirit of the 50,000 men I saw in camp there. “In two trips over the camps here I walked about while it was raining, "but 50 miles of board walk made it possible to visit all parts of the camp without inconvenience. Every man In camp has a bunk, mattress and five blankets. • “I found 12 amusement places

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

In operation which lost week entertained 130,000 men. 1 found the water supply ample. I can see no reason for criticism of this catnip, but more to praise than in any camp I have visited in the Unrfted States. I found the embarkation facilities ample and above criticism'. I found the camp well lighted and saw the beginning of operations for a complete lighting system. “The commanding general of the camp is Brigadier-General Smedley D. Butler He is a steam engine in breeches and his work here is monumental. When the history of Generals Helmick and Butler and their caimble and enthusiastic assistants here in Brest is written, what they have done here will win the praise of all Americans who take pride in big achievements. “If the mothers of America could haye been with me yesterday and today they would have been happy that their sons have such leaders. What the generals have done is only equalled by the excellent service of Admiral Halstead and the naval personnel in charge of naval operations on the coast of France.’’

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

We are shipping out the traitors, sending them to other shores, shipping out the agitators, anarchists and kindred bores; and I hope they’ll all be potted; all be shipped abroad and swatted, all the freaks whose heads are spotted with the customary sores. If a gent comes o'er the ocean here to settle down and toll, we will greet him with emotion, treat him as decreed by Hoyle; we will give him- all the chances to improve his circumstances, and rejoice as he advances, and with him divide the spoil. A.’ a host we are a model, if the guest’s on labor bent; but we have no use for twaddle of a traitorous intent; if the comer’s elocution calls for row and revolution gainst each sacred institution, we despise that erring gent. In t’ e past we viewed with smiling all the loud and frothy boys, for we found them most beguiling, with their whiskers and their noise; but the war has made us sterner, and the frantic language burner, and the blood and crossbones yearner rather peeves us and annoys. So we stop him as he preaches, calling for our country’s goat, and we seize him by the breeches, and the collar of his

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

Red is a good color in a flag, but an abominable one FOR a flag. Anyone reading the income tax reports would form the opinion that there Is still some money Un the United States. Gentle spring so often comes dancing In with a dash of snowflakes and a cold in her head and a bottle of spring tonic in her pocket. The kaiser has been toasted in Holland, but then he has been roasted In almost every other country, and he may yet be grilled in t)he peace conference. If we may state our poor opinion, the Russian reds recently arrested in New York would look much handsomer In Russia than they do in the United States. These reds have a nice little oath binding them to “take forcible possession of all wealth through violence of social revolution, and to overthrow and destroy all government and ownership.’’ Beside this highway robbery seems almost respectable.

FARMERS' STATE ORGANIZATION

(Continued from Page One)

to all concerned. "To the farmer the red flag is intolerable,” said Mr. Taylor. “The only flag the farmer knows and loves Is the red. white and blue. I believe in fairness to all concerned. I am not one of those who believe that, there are now two great factions fighting each other- I believe that the only purpose of the farmer in coming here today is to have a great organization of farmers in the state and not for the purpose of organizing a fighting faction.” D. O. Thompson, secretary of the Illinois State Farmers’ association, gave a short talk and.reviewed the history of their “The need for state organization is shown in the fact that the farmers have business Interests that cannot be handled fy individuals. For Instance, for the road program In Illinois we have voted to spend $60,000,000. It is of tremendous importance to the farmer that these roads be constructed properly and with the proper material. The question of transportation by railroads and trucks is another subject of vijal Importance to the farmer. “Up to the present time much stress had been laid on large production, but today a greater question must be solved and that is the question of markets and marketing. Two important principles of the state farmers’ association are well organized—county association and adequate provision of ample funds to carry out the work of the organization.” H. J. Sconce, president of Illinois Farmers’ association, gave a short and .interesting talk, and also C. V. Gregory, member of the executive committee of the Illinois state association.

Dean J. H. Skinner of Purdue university brought out the danger of radicalism, .“unjust and unfair methods and in such an organization. I am not one of those who believe that in this organization we should tear up the world. We must keep out of the organization partisan politics, the I. W. W’s. and non-partisan league. We must work for bigger things and must have the right kind of men for leaders.” Mr. Coleman of Purdue university stated that Purdue so far had taken up only the crop production part of the farmers, but that they have been working for the past six months on marketing of crops and thought as soon as a state organization was perfected that tney could co-operate and probably give some good advice on that line. “Agriculture today stands in the limelight because of a great food shortage across the sea,” said Dean Skinner. “We need to improve our marketing facilities. The farmer must get his crops to the consumer at a price he can afford to pay. The big problem of the farmer today is, 'How can I be a more efficient man?’

“We must work to reduce the cost of production so that when the lower prices come —and they are coming just as assuredly as the world goes around —we can go on and make a 'profit.” Mr. Skinner sAid the farmer should not sit idly by while the assessment of their lands was being made for taxation. They should have some representation in this matter and should not leave it wholly to others. Mr. Brown of Monon slated that the trouble with the farmers was that they haven’t had any way of presenting their case; that they would have to form an association, in which -way they could show that all farmers were behind the 'movement and they could present the right kind of a front and meet other industries halfway; that things could be settled in favor of all parties. He said he would like well organized counties, a strong association and good, sound men at the head. f The credentials committee report was adopted. The constitution and by-laws committee reported and the constitution was adopted with a few minor amendments. The resolution committee report was placed on file. The following officers were elected; President, John G. Brown, Monon; first vice president, Dr. Hickman, Blackford county; second vice president, Lewis Taylor, Newburg. Ten directors were elected. The director from our district is J. W. Hickman of Lafayette. The secretary and treasurer will be elected by the board of directors. The organization as it now stands represents between 25,000 and, 30,000 farmers.
