Pope Benedict, tho XV., In his'flrst enryc.ltcal declares that the view that materia) good In the only object In Ufa us "the aecret root of all evil,’’ and Bays that until thla view in ex tirpated, we ahall find no betotr con dition of affairs and no lasting peace. This Is undoubtedly the trouble The Christian religion, which these "Christian Nations” have accepted at; a misty Ideal, or a sweet theory has been set aside from the life and prog ress of the world as Impractical and ro mantic, Ho unchristian are our “Chris tian natlona." that the New York Hun remarks: "Chiinlinn humility' l In very well for Hit' next world or In an Individual preparation for It, but It ban no force aguiiiMt uutlonHl pride.

They would be bad citizens If they wore not bad Christiana. It will be remembered, doubtless, that when President Wilson endeavor ed |o follow Christian Ideals In deul- IflK With Mexico, be was scored as an Impractical dreamer, a theorist and a sentimentalist. We saw it pointed out on all sides that personal righteous ness and national righteousness meant very different things There are no Christian nations, ns yet, though there are nations in which Christian people exert a potent In fluence Civilization Itself is not christianised. Culture menus some thing very different froti. gentle living and kindly and unselfish thinking: yet we never meet a truly Christian man or woman, without realizing that Christianity Is a liberal education. If In these thirteen centuries, Christian people had been gathering together and forming Christian governments, this wntdd be a better world to live In today, but Material Oood Is the god of the world's nations and Kurope Is making her sacrifice before him at this time. CONGRESS AND THE PEOPLE. The hope that congress, when It re assembles. will give vigorous but de liberate discussion to the mater of tat teasing our national defenses la generally expressed by the press of the country. This la a matter upon which every clMevn it the United States should do sums thinking. For a long time we have been running along In a happy go-lucky fashion flying upon the At lantic and Pacific Oceans its out coast detensea, out these groat bodice of watei are no lunger the protection they used to be, they ate now great highways, open which friends ana loea alike ate passing. The world ia growing crowded *.«i competition be tween nations In the acquisition and holding of territory -a swift. Expanding nations me a menace to their neighbors. Here in America w'e have not chosen to lejliae that war was a possibility, but today we are face to face with the osloundlng state of affairs In Kurope. We may diag nose the trouble aa we pleuse, w e may point out the fundamental errora under which the nallona of Kurope are pursuing their own und their neigh- ruin, but we cannot get around Uie fact that peoples' races and hu man nature, being as they iu«, we are a long way from being assured of a continued state of peace. lhi what we may to avoid war, it will not be pos sible to guard ourserves against It with any real ease of mind until we know that we are prepared to meet It. If the American people refuse to in terest themselves at tills time In the inaltsr of securing self-protection, they may have a far mute severe awakening to tha neoeaity than will be eoothlng to their national pride. Let as remember that congress will discuss this question and act upon It with vigor and decision proportionate to that of the people. Public senti ment rules in these matters, as in alraast every other matter In this na tion. What we need le an arouaod sentiment for our collective needs. With even lit tie man. thinking mostly es himself and his own little family and community needs, we won't get much appreciation of the great needs of the whole people With the spectacle of Kurope before us. can ws not forget, for s time at least, these little questions and look about for the needs of the whole country 7 If we cannot, we will find an oc caaion which will force ue to It, later MS. - . ij l j §§ ii, J!^^ ~,, w./Aj AM ASH CAM- oc*Jr sph J /W SMirH / inhat is it U A cK^r J \ , TIPPBI VOM OFF- / ///Jf HORMEO \ /yuA H-• \ rfj> A 3OK£ ? \htt *' A .., -yy, '*r.— .mn—num ' ' FIFTY-FIFTY I NOT QUITE A BARBARIAN Rose Conducted the Captain to the Place Where Karl Brumnier’e Body Was Lying and Said: “Give Him a Funeral of a Soldier."

Suddenly there Is great excitement outside and Mile. Rose telephones that a troop of Uhlans have been eeen In the neighborhood, and that she Is alone In the office.

The day that Frank Rot back on the job after his “spree” a letter came from a large construction company In the West asking for bids on a large amount of material.
