It may seem strange to many per
son to say that no one can hope for
a return to old conditions at the close
of the war, but there is nothing more
certain than that the people of the
world will not again see conditions as
they existed prior to the outbreak of
the European war.
We are going to live in an entirely
cew world! The war will change so
many things that there must be a
general reorganization of govern
ments, of business, and even of the
fabric of society.
A tremendous revolution is taking
place. There are parts of the world,
like the great West, where the pub
lic does not yet feel the effect of
changes being wrought, hut these
changes are soon to reach this section
ns they have already reached others.
We will reorganize as the peoples of
other parts of the world are reor
ganizing. and this process will go on
in its shifting and changing long af
ter terms of peace have been declar
ed.
Speaking upon this question the
other day while addressing a depu
tation of the British labor party.
Prime Minister Lloyd-George had this
to say:
"Don t be always minaing oi sel
ling hack to where we were before
1he war. Get a really new world. 1
firmly believe that what is known as
the after-war settlement will lie a
settlement that will direct the des
tinies of all classes for generations
to come. Therefore you are doing well
in giving your time and 'thought to
considering—and considering deeply
and considering on a bold scale, on
a daring scale—what you are going
to do after the war. * * * The readier
we are to cut away from the past,
the better we are likely to succeed.
3 hope every class will not be hark
ing back to the pre-war conditions,
because if every class insists in get
ting back to pre-war conditions, then
God help the country. I say this in
all solemnity.”
There will be no return to pre-war
conditiots. All things will change. It
s hoped that governments will be
more liberal—more truly representa
tive of popular thought and popular
desire. It is certain that the war has
changed the industrial life of all na
tions, and it is equally certain that
the great mass of the people will have
more to do with governmental af
fairs than at any time in history.
PATRIOTIC FERVOR
As an example of the hysteria per
vading the Eastern and Middle States,
The New York Sun cites the case of
a policeman in San Augustine, Fla.,
who hailed a man before a magis
trate on the charge of desecrating the
flag by printing obscene words upon
it.
The magistrate asked the com
plaining witness what he based his
premises upon.
The policeman stated that the man
had printed the words “E Pluribus
1'num" upon the flag and hung it
before his door.
The magisti ate promptly; tumbled
and sternly asked:
“What did he mean by that?”
“Well,” said the cop, “I’m dom’d
if 1 know, but 1 helave it means, "To
hell with the Union.”
The defendant was- promptly ac
quitted.

,4 MILITARY HIGHWAY HOltIHT
Sam ITili, the good road enthusiast,
is going to Washington to try to per
suade President Wilson to give his
support to a plan to build a mili
tary highway from the British Col
umbia line to Mexico. ^ It has often
been pointed out that such a high
way would prove of inestimable
! value to the gpvernment in time of
i war and to the Pacific coast in time
j of peace. It would aflord anothei
1 means of transportation that would
i greatly facilitate the developing of
! the Pacific Coast.
I Already much of the work lias been
;done by the state of Washington.
Oregon and California. The gnvern
jment would he expected to widen the
I Pacific Highway to an average ot
fromt wenty to. twenty-five feet and
j hard surface that portion that has
I not already been paved. It would not
j be surprising if Sam Hill s practical
knowledge, seconded by bis persua
| give powers, did not enlist the Presi
j dent's support.
.% TRAGIC" PATH AHr.Ai*
There is (lie strongest possibility
that the United States will pay as
severe a penalty for its participation
in the war as is being paid by the
people ol the British empire. This
country is not likely to be invaded.
Neither has the British empire been
invaded excepting in a trivial fashion
by German aircraft. But the United
States will bleed as Great Britain
bled, and sorrow will come here as
it has come to our neighbors across
the international boundary. The war
| is in such a state that no one can
I foretell its results. But it is certain
that before victory for democracy
can be won a most tragic path must
be trod by millions of our sturdiest
young men. Therefore, such as are
attempting ;o convince themselves
that the war will not be felt keenly
by the people of the United States
have a painful surprise coming, and
the sooner they undeceive themselves
| and prepare to give the government
! their wholhearted and unstinted sup
j their whole hearted and unstinted sup
land for all.

[ SEATTLE. May 25.—The Central
Labor Council, following a warm ses
sion last night, almost unanimously
voted to bar all Industrial Workers
of the World from membership in any
of the local labor organizations. Var
ious speakers claimed that the 1. W.
W. was an organization "against the
government” and that at this time
labor was solidly behind President
Wilson in the present war. The I. W.

ables and those now in the various
local unions will be figuratively and
literally thrown out. '

the worst thing the Missouri farmer |

they are a great detriment to me and
