PEACE THROUGH WAR.
Is there a possibility that the hor
rors of the war that has begun in
Europe may in the long run make
(general peace more easy to maintain,
may disclose to the world the mad
ness of general armament, and instill
in the minds of men an effective
conviction of the utter futility of that
cruel and costly competition? May
the forces that make for peace—the
sense of humanity to begin with,
then the sense of intimate and vital
and lasting interests menaced and de
stroyed by war—in the face of the
world-wide demonsfration of the use
lessness as well as the savagery of
war, finally prevail?
On the face of the situation, it is
hard to reply in the affirmative. To
the average man the war seems an
incalculable outbreak of innate bar
barism, and the civilization of the
world seems to have broken down.
His first impulse is to turn and rend
the advocates of peace, to deride their
hopes and aims and methods, to rid
icule the action of their minds, and
with a sort of strange vanity to ask
what they think now of the dove of
peace, the value of treaties, the plans
for arbitration, the various measures
by which the world has striven for a
generation to prevent the brutal and
wasteful arbitrament of force. But,
on second thought, the intelligent
mind must recognize that the actual
situation and the probable course of
events in the near future do not leave
ils to absolute despair. There is at
the very outset the overwhelming
demonstration that the nations of the
world are so closely bound together
by ties so strong and so widely
spread that the destruction which war
is brings acute distress and terrible
suffering even to those peoples that
are not immediately engaged in the
contest. In our own land, among
our own people, peaceful its we are,
losses, discouragements, distress, the
check to enterprise, enforced idleness
of multitudes dependent on work for
daily bread, are afflicted by a strug
gle that we do not share and that we
utterly condemn. In the lands actu
ally engaged the suffering is infin
itely greater, heavier to bear, and
more crushing.
The general war is the direct and
apparently the inevitable result of
competitive armament. Such arma
ment has been dictated in large part
by ruling classes, who are least ex
posed to the terrible consequences of
war, and who have conceived or inher
ited ambitions, animosities, appetites,
in which the common people do not
consciously share. With a war such
as has now begun, the tremendous
cost of this system will be proved to
every human being capable of even
the slightest foresight—proved by
the direct hardship, privation, and
agony endured. It is not at all be
yond the limits of reasonable specu
lation to tnfer that by this lesson the
general mind of the world may be
so deeply revolted that war and the
armament that compells war may be
effectually banned. Nor is it beyond
the range of possibility that the poli
tical systems in Europe that have left
the precious welfare of the common
people to a class that do not share
the common burdens may be cast
off and the destinies of toiling mil
lions shall not be in the hands of a
Hohenzellern, a Hapsburg, or a Ro
manoff. Undoubtedly the ordinary
course of c’ anges in social order
moves slowly and with much complex
ity along the lines of evolution. But
catastrophies do no occur. The
forces of progress are long checked,
as by the competitive armament that
brought on the present war. But they
tire not destroyed. They are but
dammed, and when *hey work through
titv obstruction their movement is |
more nearly irresistible than before.,
In this crisis there is one plain duty
for sensible minds. It is not to give
way to despair, not to accept the no
tion that the wor'd has suddenly and
hopelessly fallen back to barbarism,
but to remember that the advance
ment already achieved has been made
against continual resistance, with ter
rible relapses, but that it has been
achieved and is our valid warrant
for the hope and faith in the ulti
mate future.—Ex.

BABIES ON DISPLAY
IN GLASS HOUSES
DES MOINES, la., Aug. 22—Sitting
comfortably in amphitheater seats,
state fair visitors this year will be
able to gaze down upon a little glass
house and watch the examination of
babies in the baby health contest.
Three years ago, when the first con
test was held, the examinations were
conducted in a tiny room in the state
college building and spectators had to
content themselves with peeking
through the cracks,
The babies this year will first be
taken into a booth, where they will
be carefully examined by a skilled
physician for traces of measles,
mumps, chickenpox or other contag
ious diseases. If such traces are
found the child will not be permit
ted to enter the contest. If all is
well, the child will be taken to a
large reception room to await his
regular turn to go before two Clerks
who will take down his history.
Next comes the psychology room,
then the undressing room and next
the general examination room, where
baby is considered for "fine points”
much the same way in which thor
oughbred dogs are gone over at a
bench show. This last takes place
in the glass house around which the
amphiteater seats are constructed.

The regular Saturday night Moose
dance will be held at Moose hall.
