UTS. HOotbUHO, OHEGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1'i2l. MAKING WAR CUIMINAL BY BERT G. BATES The Chicago Daily News has been conducting a contest for peace suggestions. Dr. Thwing, president emeritus of Western Reserve university, the first prize winner, made as one of his sug gestions that international law pronounce aggressive war to be criminal, and award punishment, economic, commercial, and dip lomatic, to those who start it. It would very likely be a good thing to have it declared that aggressive war is a crime. Still it is a difficult thing to define what constitutes an aggressive war. The German pOople were told that they were so menaced by the ev'il purposes of the nations that surrounded them that it became necessary for them to strike before the other nations should strike them. So they would claim that while technically they struck the first blow, yet they were practically forced into it. This claim would never be allowed in this country, but this shows how diffi cult it is for the nations to pass judgment on each other's acts. The fundamental cause of wars is perhaps that people look in such a one sided way at their international relations. The French read the French side of their controversies, and they believe that one side only. The Germans look at the German side of their controversies, and believe only that. If only all peoples could form the habit of patiently and conscientiously reading all sides of international quarrels, they would make more allowances, and hot passions would not be so likely to start. The time will prob ably come when the nations of the world will treat any country that starts a war as an outlaw. .The idea of an economic boycott of war making nations, if properly guarded, seems fundamental ly correct. o Figures recently published regarding a group of university of Michigan graduates, suggest that the men who gained most prominence in social and campus activities are earning a good deal more money today than those who went in for scholarship. That does not necessarily mean that the good sciiolars are in capable of business success. Many of them prefer occupations that are not very profitable financially. Financial success is a crime way lo estimate me real worth ot men, their service to the worm or the satisiacuon they get out ol liie. 1 robably no class of people get better real rewards than college professors, but they when she gets through and feel en- can not usually earn as much money as successful business men. - courage,. iney iind their gains in the al lection ot a great body ol tormer students, in their power to help mould the thought of the younger generation. o GOOD EVENING FOLKS Get your old New yt.tr Resolutions out And polish 'em Up for next Tuesday.

It gave an air of seclusion. Some years ago there was a tendency to pull down hedges and fences, and throw private grounds open, thus creating a pleasant park effect. In many neighborhoods, children abused this opportunity, and considered the absence of a fence as an invitation for them to come in and play, making it difficult to raise grass and shrubs. A good many j householders as a result have planted lu'din s again, and some! have restored feiu-es. This may take away something of the I pleasant open effect, but it gives notice that home grounds are1 not a public, playground. And a well kept hedge may be very j biautiful. A Horse on the Colonel. (ISy Wickr-3 Wamboltlt.) The problems that met the soutb ppople after tho war between tti mates were stupendous. The men m railed back after Leo's surrender to find homes destroyed, fences down, outbuildings Kone. plantations Kiown to weeds and bushes, and no vefitlne of stock or implements. And with It all the entire social order was changed. Small wonder that many souther ners immediately betook themselves to California. South America, and other distant points. The Job of re construction looked overwhelmltiKly impossible. Hut t!;ro were those who stayed to see it nut and help U through. Such a one was a former Confederate colonel. He returned to the scene of desolation and social chaos with nothing to show for four years or military service but a ragged uni form and o spavined horse. Jieaching his plantation, he found nothing left but the ground and an obscure shed In which was the fam ily carryall and a mouldy harness. Casting his eye over the field of op portunity, the Colonel decided that the sum totul of his possessions pointed the way to the livery busi ness. So he gingered up the horse, painted up the carryall, rubbed up the harness and uenan business. His first nibble was a uesro who had been a slave on an adjoining plantation. The colored man want ed to engage the Colonel to drive him and his "lady fr n' " to a dunce the following evening. The Colonel's first Impulse was to commit homicide. Hut then came sudden and vivid realization that he was facing a great crisis in his life, licfore this momentous occasion he could only bow with quiet dignity and agree to do the job for fifty cents. The night of the dance was a bit ter cold one. The place of the dance was a negro settlement three miles away. The ball room was lighted with smoky, smelly kerosene lamps. Tho air was superheated by a huge stove. The windows were shut tight and there was a large aggregation of colored folks. The Colonel alternated between standing Inside until he suffocated and standing outside until he froze. It was while he was doing the for mer that he was approached by his fare, who said grandiloquently. " 'Scuse me, Kunnel, but do ladies ohjec's to de smell oh de hawse stable on yo' clo'es." And so the Colonel drove home alone. And forfeited the fifty cents. And reflected that there are some things a man mlt-'lit as well not do, even to get on in the world. f 1 Stnrnn fi.,, ' This is a Studebuker year.
