"ROSEBURG. OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH13, 1928."
WHERE WAR
Schemes to muko war legally impossible have flowered
since 1018 like dandelions on a suburbanite's lawn. Jf laid
end to end (which is exactly
them to date) they would reach from here to Armageddon,
6i: beyond.
The latest is a suggestion from His Excellency Frits
Holm of Denmark. His scheme provides that, in ease of
rar, the president or premier, together with all his imme
diate male relatives, the entiro cabinet, all members of con
gress who voted for war and all bishops and prelates of
the nation's churches, be at once conscripted as privates, to
serve for the duration of the war in the infantry shock
troops. .
Holm believes all possibility of war will be forever
averted by every nation that .adopts this plan.
Maybe he's right. Certainly his proposal is drastic
enough. It might well prove an effectual curb on the fire
eating proclivities of .sonic dime-a-dozon statesmen.
Yet it shares the defects of all other anti-war schemes
in that it attacks the whole problem wrong end to.
Despite all our talk about the machinations of "international-
bankers," "secret diplomacy," and the like, the
roots of war lie far down in the heart of the average men.
Trying to root war out by legislation from above is like try
ing to lift yourself by your bootstraps. It will furnish a lot
of exercise but nothing more.
For tha simple and regrettable fact is, man has not yet
Igrown -into a thoroughly peaceful animal. We are still a few
thousand miles removed from the spiritual .heights of the
Sermon on the Mount. A flag, fluttering ;in the sunlight
Scan, still sway our emotions so powerfully that reason and
cool judgnj3iit are forgotten. A few taps on a drum, a few
sharp notes on a bugle, are still more potent than all the, cau
tioning lectures in the world.
. We are fond of talking aboufo how such and such a na
tion was "led into war. Such talk is ordinarily so much
agar-agar.. The common people of the world you and I
end the English and the Germans and the French and all
the real still think in terms of war. We accept war as a
.'natural and proper means of settling a dispute. So long as
we do we cannot complain if we get. into one every so often.
War must bo abolished some day. But its abolition is
not so much a matter for new laws and treaties to .ofect
influential as such things may occasionally ba. The corn
won man must decide, in his own heart, that he wants no
more war over again. He must profoundly change his en
tire spiritual and menial attitude.
When that happens, the danger of war will be gone for
ever. Until it does war will continue to lie just below the
liprizon, smouldering and menacing.
o
Williird 1). riUsbury, banker, announces that four-fifths
-of all wage earners are in debt. Only about a quarter of the
.country's population, he says, are free from financial wor
ries. This sounds rather appalling. But there are debts
nnd debts. The mtm who owes for a home, an automobile,
a piano or furniture irmy bo in the soundest kind of finan
cinl condition. Extravagance is one thing, and going hit--debts
that can ba met promptly and without strain is an-
other. There are times when
do is go into debt. It is only
wisely, or wIumi misfortune brings flock of bills greater
Hhin income can meet, that there is trouble.

ft In Chicago a errand jury indicted a garage man for
-fraud in moiking his income tax return. Justice, though
blind, occasionally gels a gliir.paa of wliat it's alj about.
