The city council has desig nate,! May 8 as tmod roads ,lv and May lo as clean up day, but mere is work that may be done now and should not be put of. Let us get our demises in order. At Seventeen Kenneth Nell, aged 17, was cabin boy on the American liner Philadelphia, sailiin' be tween New York and Liverpool ii- . . moiner was waiting to greet him as he arrived at th New York docks from a recent voyage. She wanted him to tell of his experience at sea, and he began telling her, but went to sleep, then begged that he be allowed to rest before talking more. The father returned from work at 7 o'clock, and aroused his son to talk to him. The l.r conversed for a short time, anil fell asleep again. Until after midnight the fa ther and mother watched over the sleeping lad. Then they suddenly discovered that he was dead. It turned out that his sleepiness was caused bv heroin - " una mat las death had resulted from an over dose of that dead ly drug. Subsequent investiga tion revealed that the boy was addicted to the use of th drug, that he had acquired the habit at the public school, and that many other boys, like him, were confirmed dope fiends.

He wonders if this is inevitable; if it is a fateful course that cannot be chaio'ed: if civil ized man is to forget nothing and learn nothing if all the line faculty of a mounting intelli genee must expend its eiicrsrv in the treadmill of war. And Dr. Thwinsr points out sonw other things that are in teresting, namely, that we have trained the ferocity of the wolf out of the doe: and u-itl, ,.,. mid inlinite patience we have bred vieiousness out of !other beasts, and domesticated them to friendly and even affectionate relations with men, making them "eiut in the service of peace. The question is not directly propounded, but the suggestion is there: Is human intellmenep mid the human conscience less '"'icnalilo to the rational I,,.,,,.!, nigs of peace than are the he..,K 01 the held?

The argument for the exist ence of the soldier is that he always has been and if we of the United States didn't have him some jealous nation would come over and gobble us up and all from the result of our unpre paredness! Such idiocy! It would actually be laughable were it not that it is human lives that hantr in the balance-men and women and children, members of one human family, irrespective of race, creed or color! The crime of the ages is the teaching of such principles! They are taught because the people swallow them -although many times under compulsion. Those who hold the people in subservi ence are the ones whn hnvp taught such infernal principles .1 . . . tnrough their hypnotic-like in fluence and power-and as the result of their teaching the big You-Kill-Me-And-F 1 1-K i I l-Y on slaughter is raging today.
