General Wood Peace Advocate Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the United States army, challenged the Douglas in his hall, Tuesday, when he spoke at the Pittsburg Carnegie Institute of Technology, on "Our Military Policy to Preserve .Peace." That the institution in which he spoke was founded by our leading and very impractical exponent of International peace did not prevent General Wood delivering some very plain, unvarnished truths. , He said, among other things: "I do not wish to introduce a spirit of criticism against the peace policies which are being instituted by your founder, Mr. Carnegie, but I want to impress upon you that as much as we want to avoid war we can't do it. We know that it is arrant nonsense to say that the day of war is over. Wars are not made by individuals, but by the pressure of public events." There is sound logic in the general's state rrent, logic that has never been refuted in the numerous arguments for disarmament on the part of this republic which Mr. Carnegie has advanced from time to time. General Wood also went into detail to show congress' criminal neglect in its persistent, refusals to improve our system of national defense. The American people should congratulate themselves that they have such a man as General Wood at the head of their military establishment. He has made it a part of the duties of his office to speak frankly and directly to the people of this country, explaining to them their military needs and seizing upon every opportunity to explode the common fallacy that this country is free of the menace of war. He has also been doing excellent work in impressing upon the American people that success in modern warfare requires more than the bulldog courage of the Anglo-Saxon race. He is brutally blunt in his expositions of our military weaknesses, but to correct them he is compelled to adopt such a policy. If congress tails to listen to his intelligent advice he takes

his case directly to the people, and they like him for it. General Wood, because of his little habit of appealing to public opinion to support the reforms he proposes, has won the enmity of many powerful men in both branches of congress. Last year he advocated the abandonment of useless army posts for economic reasons and to improve the effectiveness of the regular army. Senators and congressmen who valued these posts for political reasons then intrigued to depose General Wood as chief of staff. They would have succeeded too,, but for the fact the public and the intelligent press for the time being took enough interest in military affairs to rally to the support of the general. One of the first acts of President Wilson, as a result, was the reappointment of General Wood to the position he has filled so capably and patriotically. If the gospel that General Wood and Colonel Roosevelt preach preparedness for war is accepted by the American people, the perpetuation of the era of peace uus republic now enjoys will Le more certain than by the adoption of the Utopian policies advocated by Mr. Carnegie.

tunate, or truly poor, so long as he has the full use of his limbs and faculties, and is substantially free from debt. Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, contempt, suspicion, unjust reproach are disagreeable, but debt is infinitely worse than them all. And if it had pleased God to share either or all my sons to be the support and solace of my declining years, the lesson that I have most earnestly sought to impress upon them is : "Never run into debt! Avoid pecuniary obligation as you would pestilence or famine. If you have but 50 cents, and can get no more for a week, buy a peck of corn, parch it, and live on it, rather than owe any man a dollar."

SOCIALISM "Syndicalism; a False Socialism" By . L. Haywood

I SOME DIFFERENCE IN OPINION I "Two cities joined by the tie that binds " meaning the celebration of the citizens of Peru and Rochester commemorating the material assistance given the former by the latter during its terrible flood siege. Well, Muncie and Anderson will never get together or unite like that, for Muncie is so far in advance of the Madison county seat that there is no common ground upon which the two could stand together or be united. Muncie Star. We trust that our neighbors of Anderson will not accept this paragraph, which may be intended for humor, as a serious expression of the feeling of the people of Muncie toward a nearby community. Muncie has grown big enough and broad enough to get away from the petty

jealousies that divide little towns which seem to feel that one can express loyalty for his own community only by depreciation of others. Muncie and Anderson are not enemies, but friends; they have very much in common, as have all our Indiana cities and towns, and should any

emergency arise at any time requiring the outstretched hand of assistance, such as has united Rochester and Peru,

it is safe to say that the two cities will find plenty of common ground in their humanity, their Hoosierism and their

Americanism. Muncie Press.

HOPE

By Herbert Kauffman I heard the wails of grief and shame When Priam's walls were wrapt in flame; I stood within the Forum place, When Vandal ax and Gothic mace Battered the pride from Caesar's face; When Plague's foul legions filled the Seine With corpses, and bestank the plain Of France, from Paris to Lorraine; When Flanders fell before the siege That made the Spanish fiend her liege; When werwolves wrought a guillotine For Louis and his fagile queen; 'Twas I who staged anew the scene, 'Twas I who wiped away the scars And set the heaven with fresh stars.

Hot Weather Tips Some rules for hot weather are in order. In the first place to be healthy during the summer months does not require rigorous selfdenials just common sense. Before breakfast take a bath and make a reduction in your diet, going as shy on meats as possible and appease your appetite to a reasonable degree on vegetables and fruits. Avoid ice water and cultivate the lemonade habit it's a splendid hot weather drink. Avoid direct sun rays as a plague and take healthful exercise in moderation. The greatest dangers of hot weather are sunstroke and heat exhaustion. The former results from direct exposure to the sun and the latter is caused by excessive heat in buildings. A sunstroke inflames the body. The face becomes ery red. After you have summoned a physician for a victim immediately treat him with cold applications. In the case of heat exhaustion the body of the victim becomes cold and clammy. The treatment for heat exhaustion cases is to apply warmth to the body. The Philosophy of Debt "Keep a little in debt all the time until you p.re in a position where such a policy will be of no advantage to you. Until you have reached such a position, a few modest debts will be an incentive to make you work harder to get ahead in the world." This advice was once given a young man by a successful business man of Richmond. On the other hand, Horace Greely, a good man years ago, offered the following advice to young men: "Let no young man misjudge himself unfor-

AND THEY ARE SWINGING. New York Sun. "When the time comes that women ask for and receive the suffrage on a full equality with men, and it seems to be approaching, we have no fear for the result. Theirs will be a gracious rule in the state as It has been in society. Whenever women adopt the fashion of wearing the 'little unobtrusive yellow ribbon,' emblematic of woman

suirrage, it will be our badge also."

SYNDICALISM is socialism gone mad. It is a side-issue of the great movement which has escaped from the goverance of sound self-criticism and intellectual control. The Syndicalists are few in number but they are making a big racket.

Just as a small boy with a bunch of

firecrackers may make more noise than thousands of citizens who go. quietly about their business syndicalism, because of the noisiness of its procedure, Is giving the world the impression that It is the whole of the working class. And above all, it is palming itself off as socialism, and that in spite of the fact that the last National Socialist convention bitterly condemned it. Syndicalism is in agreement with socialism in its diagnosis of the economic process and present economic conditions. Each is based on the philosophy of the class struggle, of surplus value, and the obsoleteness of present methods of production, distribution and exchange. Each is filled with the conviction that history calls to the worker class to carry society through its next stage of evolution. Syndicalists For Radical Action. While they agree in their diagnosis of the case they fundamentally disagree as to the remedy. The situation is analogous to the case where two doctors agree as to the disease that racks their patient but can't agree as to the treatment; one recommends a long course of constitutional treatment, the other Is set on operating. The Syndicalist wants to perform a surgical operation on society. Impatience with slow methods Is the very essence of his creed. He sees Bociety coming to a new birth but grows so excited he is all for seizing the forceps and forcing the denoument before its time. In the Syndicalist's platform for social reconstruction there are two main planks, quite peculiar to himself. One is the shape of the new society he so laboriously seeks to create. He la very certain about this, even to details. I

have before me a chart of the coming j

troy the capitalist owner hide and hair that he has even invented a method of harassing and worrying him so as to weaken his grip and has this already in operation. He calls it "sabotage." Sabotage, when boiled down, means just this, "Cut into your boss's profits and break him down whenever you can, by fair means or foul." Machinists are taught how to drop a little emery dust into delicate bearings, or to break a cog here or there so as to cripple a costly piece of mechanism; engineers are made skilled in the gentle art of letting an engine go to smash through "accident"; truckers are told to let all the cut glass and perishable materials fall on hard paving or into the water whenever possible; clerks are instructed to tell only the bald truth about the goods they sell, which is very bad salesmanship from some merchants' point of view; and workers in every line are urged to destroy and injure in an underhand way so as to escape detection and thus cut big holes Into the income of the owner. This sort of doctrine is being preached to workers everywhere by Syndicalist leaders. Just the other day in a Kokomo strike the "Socialist" paper of that city urged the strikers to return to work and use sabotage. The Idea Is that ultiamtely it will be impossible to run an industry with profit so that the capitalists will go bankrupt and be obliged to quit. At that juncture the workers will step In. Use of "Irritation Strike." Meanwhile the Syndicalist leader is training the worker class in the art of solidarity, from the Syndicalist standpoint. His chief Instrument in this is the "irritation strike." According to this, workers are led on a strike at times, not because they have a grievance or want more pay, but just to irritate the boss. He finds the mill closed down at the very time he ex

pected to run nights to get out a bunch of hurry-up orders. His men will go out in the middle of his busy season; or they will quit immediately after he has given them a raise. Naturally he becomes "irritated." He begins to dls-

Syndlcallsts, few In number, have capacity for big nolae like small boy with firecrackers on the Fourth. Syndicalism and Socialism part company on method of attaining social reconstruction. Syndicalist would organize society on a rigid, non-yielding military basis. Instead of state owned Industrie the Syndicalist would have workers In each Industry own it. To hasten "the day" the Syndicalist preaches and practises "sabotage;" underhand and malicious destruction of machinery and products, to hamper and harass capitalist owned Industry. The "irritation strike" used to cause mental and temperamental wear and tear on capitalists and managers. ' Socialists condemn the Syndicalist dream of control and policy of direct action or destruction. Being human, at their first Inter class quarrel, Syndicalists will use with one another the method they learned in fighting capitalism, sabotage. And class solidarity will vanish and chaos come.

commonwealth In which he has the whole matter worked out in black and white. It reminds one of the old Utopian's methods of social reconstruction. In this chart he accords to each trade, profession or calling its own pe

culiar place and sphere. These are graded according to importance. The whole fluid mass of society is forced into a rigid military-like mold. There is the department of agriculture, and the department of mines and mete,urgy and of mechanics, etc., etc; schools, libraries, and similar institutions have scant recognition, while the church is left out altogether. The preacher class, according to the Syndicalist, is superfluous and fit for nothing save elimination. This whole rigid scheme is one which must be manufactured and the Syndicalist is proceeding to do the work. The very key-note of his methods whereby he hopes of such accomplishment is "direct action." Direct action is the opposite of legislative action. To him the latter method is altogether too slow and old fashioned. The idea of having the people take over an industry through taxation, purchase or duplication is to him absurd. If the people want it, he argues, let them take it without more ado. Go in and run the "boss" out and let the workers take possession. That's direct action. The essence cf it. Workers to Run Everything. The workers will take possession, according to the Syndicalist; not superintendents, or managers, or representatives. He has scant use for anyone who does not work with his hands. His whole social scheme excludes any other class. Women and children and the aged and artists and musicians and poets, and etc., are all superfluous according to his way of thinking. Furthermore he would exclude any from ownership in a given industry except those directly employed in it. Here he parts company with the Socialist and heads in an altogether dif- i ferent direction. The Socialist wants ! to see the basic industries owned by the people, all the people, but the Syndicalists wants them owned on the guild system by the workers In them. The Syndicalist is so eager to des-

trust his men more and more, he soon begins to hate them and he at last will come to abuse them. That pleases the Syndicalist. He is glad to have hatred stirred up between master and men. He views the class struggle as a claBh between personalities. At the eame time the workers have been more solidly united. We become more than ever attached to a cause when we have had to suffer for It; not until then have we realized its full value. After one fight In which they have harrassed and crippled their boss the men are all the more willing for another. And thus the lines are more tightly drawn and the social judgment day draws apace. Socialists Disapprove This. From all of which the Socialist most earnestly dissents. He denies that society can ever be wholly industrial. The attempt to bring all things under such a generalization is to him folly. Also he condemns the undue hastening of the revolution which will shift society from its individual to its future social base. That revolution, like all others of a similar nature which have preceded It, will come through a gradual process, with more or less inevitable friction perhaps, but at any rate In no violent leaps. Even now, he believes, we are in the midst of it. More than all, he condemns the Syndicalist's doctrine of sabotage from the working class standpoint. Workers are humans; they will quarrel and fall out. Just watch the Syndicalists themselves, urges the Socialist. At their very first quarrel they will begin to use sabotage on each other and then where will your class solidarity be?

(Editor's Note Mr. Haywood's concluding article will appear tomorrow. It is entitled "Some Common Objections to Socialism" and in it Mr. Haywood answers critics of socialism from the Socialist viewpoint. Arrangements have been made with Mr. Edgar Ilift for a series of articles advocating the retention of the present individualistic system. Mr. Iliff is a forceful writer, much of a philosopher and student. The date for commencing his series will be announced shortly.)

Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children bora in civilised countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are Ave, and one-half before they are fifteen I We do not hesitate to say that a tixnely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious Lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupef j, retard circulation and leaq to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria. operates exactly the reverse, bat you must see that it bears the signature of Chaa. H. Fletcher.
