President Wilson has Issued a proc

In this country we are idtlgena to

basis of love, of sympathy and under

Think of the great Investment In
these hideous fetishes, —ordnances and

love of man.

victory ba won by the allies or the
Oerniana. It can never be worth the
sum of horror and suffering whlrh It
Is oostlng. All of this human agony
la pure waste. It Is s meaningless
sacrifice to barbarous god* and ran
win the world nothing unless It lends
it to sympathy and understanding,
which Is love.
THE APPEAL FOR PEACE
If the operator* of the Colorado
■tine* concur In the mki cement for
thro* year* i*f true# with the name
fine aplrlt tn which the miner* hn\e
accepted the plan we need have little
fear that the true# In Colorado wi'l
bring about harmony and understand
ing between employer and employed.
In offering hi* plan of a three year*'
true* to the officers of the mining cor
porations and the union of miner*,
President Wilson said.
"I recommend It to you for your
tnoat aertous consideration. I hope you
•rill consider It a* If you were acting
for the whole country, and 1 bog that
you will regard It hi urged upou your
acceptance by myself with very" deep

you will feel, when everything should
t>* done that la possible for men to do,
to see that all untoward and threaten
ing circumstances of every sort are
taken out of the Ufa of the peopls of
the United mutts."
The miners' union has responded
that they place their faith tn Amer
ican cltlienuhlp and have agreed to
the president's plan. It ts now up ta
the raining corporations to choose
whether they ahull agree to a truce or
try and fight out thets* contention.
It la Interesting to find l»r. Lyman
Abbott In The Outlook, pointing to
‘The disgrace to the nation" that It
should be possible for war condition*
to remain In any part of the country
for so long a time, and that It should
be possible for any American to hold
that tn such s case the president must
appeal for peace by request, not com
ps! It by authority."
We think the doctor le wading Into
deep water: War may by compelled
by authority, hut peace Is a condition
of mind which follows no mandate.
Men may be, to a certain extent, re
strained from killing one another;
they may be restrained from violating
the laws of the state or nation, but
uMil peace le made a matter of con
sent the under currents of hard feel
ing and resentment are working stead
lly for the complete destruction of
•uch restraints.
It ts a disgrace to the nation that
these civil wars, growing out of In
dustrial difference*, should overturn

that It ts sn honor to this government
lhat It* enlightened president so well
understands that the will of the peo
ple must be won to the spirit of peacei
tefore peace can In- attained.

THE TWO ROSEBUSHES.
Oticn upon a time there wa* a little
girl who lived all nlono In a little
house at the edge of a wood. Her
name wag Elsa.
One day a fairy cama to her and
said: "Elaa, I will give you threo wish

What will they be?”

"I want a white rosebush on one

“You shall have It," said the fairy,

is another Continent’s “up.” The indus

a standstill, and matters will be worse be

The whole world is looking to the North
American Continent —to the United States
and Canada—for much of its provisions, ma
chinery, textiles, boots and shoes, beverages,
vehicles, cement, brick, earthenware, fancy
goods, furs, glass, garments, paper, soap, to

"What Is your second wish?” asked
the fairy.
"I want a red rosebush on the other
side,” replied Elsa.
The fairy waved her wand a second
time and there on the other side of
the door was a bush of red roses.
"And your third wish,” said the
fairy, "what Is that?"
"I wish that thdS* might always
bloom,” satd Elsa.
"It Is granted," Bald the fairy, and
she waved her want over th* hushes
three times.
When the weather began to be cold
Elsa thought her roses would stop
blooming, and one morning a* she
gathered them she said: “You beau
ties, 1 shall miss you when the frost
and snow come."
"Have "You forgotten your wtshV”
said a voice. Elsa looked under a rose
and there was a fairy.
"You wished that your rosebushes
might always bloom," said the fairy,
“and I granted the wish. You will
have roses all the winter.”
One day when the snow was on the
ground, a beautiful carriage drawn by
two black horses stopped before Elsa's
house and n young man got out and
knocked at the door.
“I want to buy your ronebushes," he
told Elsa. "1 have never seen such
beautiful roses and I have all the dif
ferent kinds that are known. But 1
have nono like these. How much mon

“Oh. I could not sell my rosebushes,"
Elsa replied; "Indeed I could not. But
1 will pick you a bunch of their blos

“Do you get a Mg price for them?"
asked the young man. "You must sell
them or you would be willing to sell
the hushes to me."
"Oh, no, sir." Elsa replied. "I give

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
Copyrighted, 1914, American Society
for Thrift.
WHAT SHALL SCHOOLS DO?
“Ja thrift taught In the schools? It
ought to bo, but how?" This Is the
response made to President S. W.
Straus, who recommended in a bulle
tin of tho American Society for Thrift
that thrift be emphasized in the pub
lic schools In the systematic activity
and training of the pupils.
With the opening of schools the
awakened public feeling In regard to
the imperative need for thrift teach
ing Is expected to make the year of
1914-15 a decided Improvement over
the past.
C. P. "Briggs, principal of the high
school, answers at the request of
Mayor W. W. Bennett for the city of
Rockford, 111., and at the same time
meets the argument that public
schools of today are undoing rather
than preparing their graduates for
their life work.
Three hundred pupils of his school
“got out and hußtled" during the past
summer vacation—did all kinds of
work from hod oarrying to office
clerking—and the aggregate of their
earnings was about $10,500.
One of the boys, who had three
years' experience In the mental train
ing department at the high school,
earned $3.60 a day. He started work
the day school was dismissed and
missed oply one-half day during the
summer. Several worked as chauf
feurs nnd made about $lO to sl2 a
week. One worked on a farm and re
turned to school on the opening day
with $82.80. Many preferred to work
In the open, on advice of their foot
ball coach. Some, therefore, went in
who cannot get out to enjoy the beau
tiful world.”
"You give away roses that you might
sell anil become rich?" said the young
man. "Why, how follsh you are. lam
the king's son. Come, sell me these
bushes and I will give you any amount
you ask."
"I will not sell my roses to the king
himself," replied Elsa. “You cannot
buy them.”
The king’s son rode away, and when
he reached home he told his father:
"She can do more than we can; for
she reaches the hearts of the people
and ahe thinks mbre of making people
happy than having gold for herself."
"Make her your wife If she will have'
you.” said the king. “There is not
another in all my kingdom w'ho is
more worthy to be a queen and It will
not be long before you are king; I am
an old man."
So the prince went hack to Elsa and
nsked her to marry him. And althouga
Elsn became a princess and after a
while a queen, rfhc was called by all
who knew her "the Lady of the Roses."

HOKE SMITH ENDORSES
WORLD-PEACE MOVE
Atlanta.—Dispatches from Washing
ton state that Senator Hoke Smith, m
company with many dignitaries of the
government, has indorsed the world
peace movement which Is attracting
such wide attention. Senator Smith
addressed the heads of the movement
as follows;
*T consent without hesitation to
serve on the committee to work for
peace In Europe. The destruction of
property and life now going on will
crush the hopes and opportunities of
the peoples of the nations at war for
a century to come. The distress and
suffering which the war will cause Is
not limited to them, it extends to
the entire world. May Clod gram that
those who have the power to do so
will bring peace without delay."

and one was the proud possesser of
$149, earned in ten weeks.
Many of the girls also were busy,
inside the home and out of it, and
some were able to show creditable
vouchers in actual cash. Some work
ed in factories, in stores, and others
took entire charge of the household
affairs, nursed and cared for chil
dren.
In his letter, forwarded by Mayor
Bennett, Mr. Briggs says: "Social
workers, parents, educators —all alike
have been interested in this data, if
we are to judge from the inquiries
that have been received. « * « «
I do not mean to say that such facts
have never been collected before, hut
the facts brought out In a very strik
ing way that not all of our high school
boys and girls are rendered unfit for
the active duties of life because they
are attending or have attended the
high school. You doubtless have read
the dastardly criticisms published
early in the year of 1912, and wonder
ed whether or not we ought to pay
out our good money to support such
an Institution as our free public
schools If all that was said of them
was true. To satisfy my own min 4
If possible and justify myself for be
ing a party to such an Infamous in
stitution, for such it Is If it Is ruining
the youth of our country, I decided to
collect some da*a. I asked the pupils
what they had been doing and what
they had earned In this doing. • • •
There were practically no wage-earn
ers of any consequence In the begin
ning class, and the earning capacity
increased in proportion to the length
of time spent in the high school."

GETTING EVEN.
By Virginia Vale.
Once upon a time there were two
boys, one of them, named Frank and
the other Fred.
They both were very fond of base
ball and wanted to play on the ball
team that had been formed in the vil
lage. Fred was a member, but they
hadn't asked Frank and he felt angry
with them for not doing so.
One day as Fred was batting, the
ball went flying Into the next field
and dropped In front of Frank as he
way trying to play ball all by him
self
He picked the ball up and when he
saw that It belonged to the other boys,
he threw it toward the pond with all
his might, and It dropped Into the
water out of sight.
“There," he said, "I guess the boys
won't play with that ball again and
I am glad, they are so mean. They
won’t let me play on their team and
I can play well If they would give me
a rhance."
When Fred got home that night he
told his father how* Frank had thrown
the ball and as he finished he said:
"I'll get even with him some way."
His father said. "Fred, think It over
before you do anything mean. See if
you can't get even in a nice way?"
The next day Fred said to himself:
"I guess 1 won't say anything about
the ball. I'll let it go. Perhaps he
didn't really mean to throw It In the
pond."
When the hoy* started to play that
night they found that one of the boys
could not play. Fred said: "Gee, I
believe I'll ask Frank to play."
So he called to the boys and said:
"What about Flunk's playing? 1-et
us try him."
Frank could hardly believe that they
meant It and when he did he felt
ashamed to think he had thrown the
ball In the pond.
He jotined them and played so well
and w's* no nice that they all voted
he be made a substitute.
The next day when he Jotned them,
h« said in n very sheepish tone:
"Here's a ball I bought myself. I guess
It Is as good as the one 1 threw In the
pond."
Fred told his father what Frank did
about the hall and how glad they
were that they had taken him on their
ball team.
