After three years of bloody warfare
in ttiie Chaco, Bolivia and Paraguay
a?v reported as having agreed upon
terms of armistice and arbitration,
lhat is the way most modem wars
ei.l. Blood, fire, devastation, death,
by wholesale, and then terms of peace
that could as easily have been agreed
upon before a shot was fired. That Is
the foolishness of fighting.
Mixed up in nearly every sensation
al crime that attracts nation-wide
interest, such as kidnappings, can In
found -at least one person who has
btven in prison anl paroled. There
must be something wrong with a sys
tem 'that turns criminals loose to do
further depredations upon society,
after they have been convicted and
' sentenced, and before the time sped
lied in the judgment has been served
This was the case with the YVeyer
haenser boy.
i ?
China has surrendered .to Japan s
? demands without firing a shot, and
another huge slice of Chinese tcrri
jiory will pass to Japanese control.
Japan lias been swallowing up China
in huge chunks, for some years. It
sounds foolish, but China will be 'lie
winner, in the long run. She will ab
sorb Japan as she has other conquer
ing races, in the past, and a fc.v
centuries hence it will all be China
again. The wisdom of unfold centu
ries lies behind the Oriental eyes of
:he Chinese; and the doctrine of t urn
nig the other cheek isn't as foolish a
! he world believes it. The real <langri
of it all is not to China, but to tV
white nations of the Occident.
Frank 0. Lowden, addressing tho
"grass roots" Republican convention,
oat in .the bucolic west, took the po
wfron tnaflhe next caiftpaign will' be
waged about the sanctity of tho Con
st.tuf.jon. If the Constitution had beei
allowed to remain as the founding
fathers wrote it, and hadn't been
changed by Mr. Lowden \s party dur
ing the involution consummated aiftei
the death of Lincoln, whom he can
onizes, most of the material that
onuses politick, economic and soeh!
unrest, would never have been in the
document. It is the amendments put
in the Constitution by the radicals of
that day, that the Nine Old Men use
to base opinions that bring anxiety
and consternation. And, by the way,
Lincoln opposed all such ideas .???>
were embodied in those amendments,
as well as the purposes for which they
were enacted; and they could never
have been adopted, as they are, had
he lived and bee>" bio to hold in
check the political forces that pu
them in the Constitution. As is usus
with revolutionists and reformer,
they w-.'.re obsessed with a great love
or a great haite, that blinded them
to all else save that and the desire to
see to their own political well-being,
and knew not whalt they really did.
