“TO OWN HIS OWN HOME.”
(.American Magazine.)
Thcrg fs a growing recognition In the
4 iitd us trial world of the determining ef
fect that tli# life outside of the shop
mis on the life within' Many men ot
intelligence and understanding declare
that our hopes fgor a better Industrial
world cannot be realized if that life
outside Is unhappy, hopeless and
meager.
One of our greatest safety experts
say# that safety Is impossible if a man
is poorly housed and fed. An experi
menting and successful manufacture!
employing hundreds of girls declarer
that unhappy homes makes unstable
^ payrolls. Another tells us that with
out healthy amusement workers can
never b# depended upon for efficiency
!,petition itself Is forcing employers
to consider the outside life of their em
ployes. The first and most important
thing they must consider Is the house
tbe man lives in.
A good workingman wants a home
wants it more, on the whole, than any
other things. He wants, if possible, to
* own his home. Wherever you find
stable industries In this country you
find the wage-earner buying a bit ol
land and building a house. It is he
who pushes the cities out in long lines
of tiny cottages. It is he who opens
“additions” and suburbs, it is he who
supports tbe extensions of car lines,
water, gas and electric mains. Take
k the street car in various directions
from a growing place like Kansas City
and note the miles and miles of gay
bungalows and trim houses. It is the
man on wages who made the building
of them necessary.
GERMANY'S MILITARY POWER.
(Leslie’s.)
Let us not fall into the error that
Germany is not able to make still more
•trenuous efforts to beat the allies
She ha# not passed the zenith of het
military power. Using the Prussian
casualty lists, which now amount to a
total of about 1,300,009 names, a sym
pathizer with the allies has estimated
f that the Oerman total losses must be
otvout 8,000,000. This Is manifestly an
^ error. The Prussian lists Include those
of all the Oerman states with the ex
ception of Bavaria. Saxony and Wur
tern berg. (These states furnish about 2(
per cent of the total of the German
army. Therefore to add one-third tc
the Prussian lists would give a fairly
accurate estimate of the total Germar
leases, which oft this basis are about

Thoughts ot peace ale agreeable lo

and U may be Ihui some day civiliza

bus not corny, too while ws talk of the
ideal of peace ws facs conditions wlA.ii
an- Hie reverse. and run the risk ot
dangers froth which peace discussion:
iluu uu exit.
As Col. House veil pointed out al Sal
Diego "if after his Oelty’shurg addresr
Lincoln hud listened to those who said
. ai was the worst of evils, we woult
nut be heie tonight." There is a point
in that remark which we commend ti
tiie thoughtful consideration of Am
ericans. This nation was not built on
academic discussion, and dreaming
vaguely.
The characteristic that moat dis
tinguishes this nation above others U
our possession ot and devotion to high
ideals. It is this fact unquestionably
which makes peace discussion partic
ularly prevalent here. But the point
which some of the more eloquent peace
advocates overlook is that the posses
sion of ideals is futile unless backed
by the determination to achieve.
We have made our ideals strong;
and we have sometimes used arms tc
do it. "Peace at any price" would
have prevented the revolution out oi
which this nation was born free. The
some doctrine would have maintained
slavery. Peace we may look forward
to, but we do not approach the goo.
by making our own nation weak
against the onrush of outside menace
Let us be strong, that our Ideals oi
freedom and humanity may prevail.
