WHAT IS WAR?
WHAT kind of business is this war thing, anyway,
whon judged by the laws and morals that govern
individuals?
Just suppose
That you're walking down the street and a fellow
bumps into you and then says: "Can't you see where
you're going? Get outla my way next time, you bonehead,
or I'll hand you one."
This makes you peeved, because it wasn't your fault at
all. You feel that if you proudly ignored this threat and
the lowbrow who uttered it i hat you would look like a
poor, spineless coward. Maybe you ought to "consider
the source," etc. But you notice that other passersby who
heard it have paused just Jong enough to note the result,
and you recognize one or two of them as your neighbors.
You "don't want any trouble." But what the dickens aro
you going to do? Swallow it and go on or what?
Tliis all goes through your mind like a flash. You feel
rather nervous, but you also feel that in order to maintain
your standing in the community as a regular fellow, who
doesn't want trouble, but who won't let anyone pick on
him (where it can bo heard by others at any rate) that it's
tip to you to say something. So you turn and remark:
"Get outto the way yourself, you big mutt; who do you
think you're talkin' to?"
This looks better. The passersby stop. The other fel
low js now up against it, just like you were; he's got to do
something now to maintain his own standing. Things be
gin to happen. First thing you know you're in a fight.
You didn't expect a fight. You hadn't had one in years.
But here it is. "Without warning.
What's the answer?
Bo you maintain your standing by showing that you're
not afraid lo fight if som0onc picks on you? Not at all;
not ah all.
A policeman arrives. 1 Ie rings for the pat rol. You and
your, ppponcnt arc pinched almost before the fight got
started to the intense joy of the crowd that likes a little
excitement whether it's a light or a pinch.
And from starting with the most justifiable motives in
tlio world those of merely maintaining your right to be
lot alone and not picked on you suddenly arc confronted
by the fact that to bo arrested as the result of a fight is a
disgrace. And you get nowhere except into trouble, for
it's "against the law" to fight. Our whole theory of civil
ization is bused on that otherwise, they say, we would
have anarchy.
So there you arc.
But
When ono nation plays the bully and affronts another,
and each refuses to back down because of pride or national
honor, and the affair ends in a fight, it's glorious. It's pat
riotism. It's war. It is not "against the law."
About the only real difference is that instead of ono
man fighting another man, several millions fight several
other millions. Then it isn't disgraceful. .It is heroic. And
they pin iron crosses and medals on you for doing things
they'd lynch you for if you were settling a private griev
ance.
But if war is correct the custom of legally prohibiting
two men from fighting it out is wrong. .Moth can't he cor
rect.
So, we merely ask as we did at the start, what kind of
business js this war tiling, anyway, that makes what, we
usually call an offense against the law, or even a crime,
suddenly into a virtue? There is something, somewhere,

T1IK city council has dodged the problem of enlarging
the ciiy hall by referring it to the people at the next
general election, ft involved an expenditure of $S000 to
fulfill a necessity.
Tho council passed the buck on the question of ap
pointing a police matron by referring it also to the people.
In brief, the couiicilmen find the referendum a mighty
handy thing to avoid a decisive stand on petty problems.
Putting the city hall problem up to the people, will start
a score of real estate schemers at work. We shall hear talk
lo the effect that the city hall is in the wrong place, that
wo should have a "civic center," that an elaborate and
costly structure should be built. We shall have offers of
a score of sites and talk of a bondissue for an "adequate
structure," and may end by locating it in some place- as
much out of the way as the new federal building to ap
preciate adjacent property.
The enlarged city hall is not planned as a permanency,
or as a community adornment or to boom realty, but to ful
fill a neccKtdtv and convenience the people for the immedi
ate future. It will bridge the gap until the city is able to
finance a more suitable structure some time in the pros
perous future.

We don't judge families by their
black sheep.
We judge tho black sheep by their
families. And tho better the family tho blacker
tho sheep. So when a Diamond Tire get3 into
trouble we think more strongly about it be
cause it comes from such a good family.
But isn't it a wonderful record about one
Diamond Tire in every hundred a bloc!: cheep
Oh, not really decp-dyed black let's say it's
sort of dark grny sheep actually.
Tho difficulty Is that Diamond Tires can only
be compared with Diamond Tires. Thorn's no other
