MODERN KNIGHT-ERRANTRY.
Commenting on war, its reason for being and
the reason it is not abolished, the San Francisco
Chronicle says:
If the business men of the world were run-
liinsr its affairs there might be some hope of
averting war in the future, but, unfortunately,
they are not. Business men ns a rule count the
cost of an enterprise, and it it doer not promise
to pay they refuse to engage in it.
War cannot be made to pay in modern times;
hence business men would refuse to have any
thing to do with it. Whatever influence they
now have is always directed against war, and,
curiosly enough, their efforts are despised rather
than applauded by the people who are the bene
ficiaries of their cautious attitude, which is con
temptuously spokci of as "commercialism."
The destines of mankind are in the hands of
so-called "statesmen," and while they are there
will be all sorts of follies committed, chief
among which is that of paying more for insur
ance against a possible evil than the evil would
cost if inflicted.'.
If we could substitute for statesmen men of
business acumen, who would always measure
the costs' of war against the possible benefits of
victory, there never would be any armed col
lisions, because under no circumstances could the
victor benefit at the expense of the vanquished.
A recent writer has made it perfectly clear
that if Germany could conquer England tomor
row and utterly destroy her commerce, the Ger
mans would probably suffer more than the
British. The interdependence of modern nations
is such thatjhe perpetrator of an injury is as
likely to experience evil -consequences from his
act as. the one it is inflicted upon.
In antiquity, when nations made war on their
neighbors for purposes' of plunder and carried
the subjugated into captivity, the, gains of the
victorious could be estimated after a fashion;
hut moderns no longer make war to rob or to
capture slaves. Occasionally they exact an in
demnity, but as often as not the victorious coun
try is not reimbursed for its direct outlay, and
it rtoes not begin to recover the amount it in
directly loses through the diversion of its ener
gies from the creative arts of peace into the do
structive activities of war.
These are facts that are generally conceded,
and it is also beginning to be seen that the in
ferior nations those unable to maintain large
armies or costly navies are more secure without
them than their more powerful neighbors with
numerous dreadnoughts and big standing armies;
but in spite of all that and the growing con
viction that some way of averting war should be
found, the prospects of doing so do not grow
much brighter.
It is not because man has warlike instincts
that cannot be changed. The idea that honor
could only be repaired, when fractured, by a
resort to the duello has nearly been laughed
out of existence; the intolerance of religious
orthodoxy has been almost eminated. and other
equally absurd notions and practice have disap
peared. "Why, then, does the probability of eonvin
, cing men that they can gain nothing by fighting
seem so remote?
The answer is simple enough. It is because
we insist upon recognizing as an honorable pro
fession the pursuit of arms. If tire world could
be persuaded to look upon the soldier as a slay
er of men, a mere butcher, the pressure for de
fensive armaments would at once cease.
If men would resist the creation -of a mili
tary aristocracy by refusing to elevate the pro
fession of arlns to the first place in their esteem,
the scales would soon fall from their eyes and
they would see that defensive armaments are a
mere device to make plenty of places for a priv
ileged class, whose members look down with
contempt upon those who 1 li ink that the arts of
peace are more deserving of consideration than
the destructive agencies of war.
The advocates of peace will never make much
progress until the status of the military man is
changed.' So long as the latter is made influ
ential by. being unduly honored, just that 'long
will he impose his warlike ideas upon the world.
When "statesmen" will accept the guidance
of men of common sense, who hate war because
it interferes with their opportunities for gain,
they will be on the right path, and mankind will
be saved from much bloodshed and misery and
an intolerable burder of taxation.
But that is not likely 'to occur through
preaching or exhortation nor from the holding
" of congresses.
If Carnegie could have called into existence
with his $10,000,000 peace donation a Cervantes
with the genius to show up the follow of the de
fensive necessity" argument it would soon pass
into oblivion, as; did the follies of knight-errantry.
The knights-errant were also defenders, but
they were laughed out of existence by a storyteller.
IINIIJ; TO
SEWER
DEMOCRATIC ROUT.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ALL
ISERS OK SKWF.RS SOUTH OF

UNTIL FURTHER XOTICE. NEW
CONNECTIONS ARE IIEING MADE,

PERSONAL MENTION
The democratic press of the state is dying
hard and lingeringly over Governor Oddie's veto
message of senate bill No. 28. In solemn uni
son they are now chanting "Patronage! Patron
age caused the veto! Patronage; patronage,
therefore he vetoed the bill."
"Ma" Sprague and Editor Dickerson, not to
speak of Brother Green, as accompanist, seem to
be deriving so much sad satisfaction out of the
dirge that they arc entirely oblivious to the fact
that the whole state has given the democrats
of the legislature, which just closed, the horse
laugh.
No one who was in the senate when Gov
ernor Oddie's ringing message came in, during
the closing hours of the session, will forget the
spectacle presented of the complete rout of tho
democrats of the senate. Amid the laughter and
jeers of the republicans at the expose of the
double-dealing and sharp-practice of the demo-"
cratic senators, as detailed by the governor, and
which' stands in that message impossible of being
answered or refuted, the spectacle of those who
had for eight weeks played low-down politics
and who in every way their ingenuity and cuss
ed ness. could suggest, had tried to bullyrag the
governor, completely unhorsed, flabberguested
and put out of business,' was the full price of
admission. Then when the mad bewildered dem
ocratic senators found that they couldn't pass
the bill over the governor's veto, . but it had
to stand on the records of the senate as" sus
tained by the democratic senate Wow!
First it was "graft," next " a republican
machine," now the last yap of the thoroughly
discredited and licked opponents of the governor
is "Patronage! Vetoed because he couldn't con
trol patronage!"
Meanwhile, slowly and convincingly the truth
is beginning to leak out, and that truth is that
Boyle's water bill was killed by the enemies of
the bill in the person of certain democratic sen
ators who gave its author the double-cross, and
who successfully resisted and finally encompassed
its defeat by successfully barring every effort of
the governor at any possible compromise with
them to pass it.
Ihe public is applauding the governor. Mean
while a lot of democratic erstwhile statesmen
are taking the rest cure in California, trying
to think up some kind of excuse to give their
( constituents when they go home, while those
who went Home each looked about as happy as
a setting hen after it had been ducked to keep

many years of effort, all toll bridges
