The dailies report "Civil War" in
Chicago.—The Drys against the Wets
—justifyable war that must go on till
victory is achieved.
The only war we believe in is war
against war and bloodless war against
the evils that rob life of happiness,
and threaten civilization itself. The
war against liquor is holy war, since
it is in defense of the home, in defense
of childhood, in defense of good health,
of good morals, of clean social life,
in defense of the progress of the
world.
Mr. Borah of Idaho proposes a un-
ion of the six strongest nations—the
United States, England, France, Ger-
many, Japan, Italy—pledged to a pol-
icy that outlaws war, and makes in-
ternational peace possible. Quoting
from one of the dailies:
"The world disarmament conference
is in session under the auspices of the
League of Nations.
"Strong pressure is being brought
to bear on the President to renew ef-
fort toward making America an ad-
herent to the world Court.
"The Democrats of coursc stand by
their advocacy of membership in the
League of Nations, and the assump-
tion of the world's leadership which
such membership would give us.
"All this indicates very plainly that
the end of war sentiment, the deter-
mination to put real barriers in the
way of further wars is growing
stronger.
"And some day—and that not so
long in the future—we will have a
world effectively organized againist

Rastus (at dance)—Mirandy, is
your program full?"
Mirandy—Lt.wdy, no! It takes mo*
dan two sandwiches and a cup of
coffee to fill my program.
