WAR AND
MAX Y i brave lint tic lias been fought by the best brains
of the world over the relation of science ami religion.
In the bettinniiiM' of the con f'lii-1 ilio churcliineii attacked
scieni-e valiantlv its the worst of all possible threats to
every religious creed.
Then came an era when science and religion were recon
ciled, correlated and looked upon as interdependent. .Man
increased the uses of science niarveloiisl v. And in that time
beran a noticeable falling off
spiritual ami ecclesiastical.
The first quarter of the twentieth century marked a
.succession of scientific triumphs. And the event is still
being celebrated by the great war. '
Science has made possible the most stupendous horrors
ever inflicted on man by man. It has prolonged the war,
it has intensified the increasing miseries of the war. It hits
wearied both belligerents and neutrals with the hopeless,
endless intricacies of its progress.
And in Hie cast and the west, wise men and foolish are
thinking that if war is the best use which man can make
of science, then an antidote is needed. And they find it in
religion, science's old and original foe.
Jt is impossible for a sane man to believe that the
supremo end of science is to reduce human beings to can
non fodder.
Ruskin put it this way, years ago, dwelling upon a cer
tain point of view:
It mail! all the difference, in asserting any principle of war, whether
ono assumed that a discharge of artillery would merely knead down a
certain (iiinntity of rod clay into a level line, as In a briclt field; or
whether, out of every separately Chri.stian-nuincd portion of the ruinous
heap, there went out, Into the smoke and dead-fallen air of battle, some
astonishing condition of soul, unwillingly reloaBcd.
Science, organized and efficient science, works in this
war as if the "red clay" theory of human life were true.
And men of various modes of thought, men of books and
libraries, psychologists, poets, even political prophets, are
saying that science has been much too ambitious and has
overreached itself; and that one result of the war, which
will catch ii)) neutrals as well as the enemy nations, will be
a new respect for and interest in religion.
Modern civilization, having sent millions of men and
women and little children out of this world unwillingly be
fore their time by means of scientific warfare, must soon
make an accounting. And somewhere, when the balance is
struck, man will rediscover tho
FARMERS
WK frequently rend of strike rioting by workmen seek
ing to better their condition but rioting by fann
ers seeking the same end is new. farmers seem to be the
slowesj of all industries to recognize the value of unity
and yet emit rolling largely the production of the necessities
of life, they have in their power the enforcement of just,
demands as no o her class.
Instead of iiiiiring to further their ends, farmers are
usually easy prey for the speculator, middlemen and oth
ers who take as toll all the traffic will bear. The speculat
ors of the exchanges. Ihe elevators, the commission men
and countless parasites live off the farmer.
The farmers of North Dakota are in revolt. It is an
agricultural state, but .somehow or other the profits of the
Dakota farmers have enriched the millers of the twin cit
ies and the grain gamblers of Chicago. Declaring that
fundamental political reform is necessary to enable the
fanner to secure his share of what he produces, the .Dakota
farmers' league has gone into politics, nominated candi
dates for governor ami state legislature, with excellent
prospects of success and securing legislation needed.
The fanners of New York have combined to secure
higher prices for milk, the profits of which they claim arc
monopolized by the distributors. New York City is threat
ened with a milk famine. The farmers are holding back
their milk and using force to compel ot hoi's to do the same.
Crossroads are picketed and milk confiscated. Cheese fac
tories are being erected to utilize the withheld milk.
Some day. perhaps, the Oregon farmers will see the
wisdom of acting in unison. Tin: present leaders of the
state grange, however, are not big enough to grasp the
problems presented and fritter away their time in reac
tionary effort to prevent development. A lobby is main
tained at the state capitol. whose main effort is directed
towards preventing good roads, while further restrictive
legislation in a slatv where progress is already tietl by
a mossback const it ut ion, is favored by initial ive while tho
real problems of production and marketing are passed up.
SIMPLIFYING
CAPITAL I's arc as thick as telegraph poles on a mov
ing train in Colonel L'ooseveit 's lirjl) battle cry at
Datlle Creek. Outside of carping criticism, the speech is
mostly about ".Me and My Policies" very little about
Hughes and still less about the republican platform.
W'c arc told what L'ooseveit and various officials of his
administration did, and what L'ooseveit thinks, ami what
L'ooseveit would do. but nothing to enlighten us as to what
Hughes would do.
President Wilson says "that certain prospect of repub
lican success in November is that we shall be drawn in one
form or another into the embroilments of the European
war" and ihat "the force of the 1'iiited States will be used
to produce in Mexico the kind of law and order which some
investors in Mexico consider most to their advantage."
Colonel L'ooseveit 's speech furnishes all the confirma
tion necessary-- if the colonel
paru. as he evidently docs, lie has evidently boon made
receiver for the pally bankrupted by Hughes' ineffective
campaign and speaks with the voice of authority.
P'Wo or needless war is the Usilc for War is I he onl
alleruatiw' In the president's policy, ami it is well that the
coioiii I fas simplil ied the issue for the people.
