"Whatever tlu> noise and bluster
and apparent provocation there will 1
never be another great war in
Europe. The game is played out."
This declaration was made b.v I>r.
David Starr Jordan, president of
the Leland Stanford University.
President Jordan points out that
war is world sickness, which must
?pre*d from one part to all the oth
ers. He tells of the degeneration
of nations through the loss of their
best cltiiens, the young, virile men
in war, and traces through history
the wrecking of empires. Japan's
terrible strength, as shown In the
war with Russia, was not due to
constant practice in warfare, he
says, but rather to centuries of
peace, wherein tthe race had
grown strong through a struggle
for existence, which had eliminated
the weak Instead of the strong and
courageous.
"International peace means a
condition In which the boundary line
between nations is not a line of
suspicion and hate, but a conven
?enlence In judicial adjustment and
administrative adjustments.
"Such a boundary line is the four
thousand mile line that separates
Canada from the United States, an
undefended border which for nearly
a hundred years had not known a
fortress nor a warship nor a gun.
"An armed peace, by which na
tions are supposed to be frightened
Into acquuiesceno# Is. in the long
run, likely to be as ruinous as war
Though war has ceased, its cost
?till go?? on,
"A gigantic national debt involv
ed an invisible empire which shall
direct and control credit. The foun
dation of such an empire was laid
a century and a half ago by the
pawnbroker, Meyer, called Roth
schild of Frankfort-on-the-Main.
From the battle of Waterloo until
liis death, Nathan Rothschild was
the actual ruler of Europe.
"To control it is not necessary
to own. As one may control a rail
way without owning it, so one may
control a nation. The war debt of
Kurope today approaches twenty-six
thousand millions of dollars. The
system of laying burdens on poster
ity, says Uoidwin Smith, removes
the last check on war.
"By means of indirect taxation
the people never know what they
are paying. By means of the war
debt the cost is shifted to gener
ations yet unborn. We are no long
er living beyond our means, but
beyond the means of the fourth gen
eration.
"Twelve millions of dollars yes
terday was the standard cost of a
drendnou ht; today It is $15, 000, ?
000, and a few more years will
raise this to $25,000,000, unless, in
deed, by that time such vessels can
be had for their worth in old iron.
"It is easier for a nation, as for
a man, to fall Into the lead of its
associations than to strike out for
itself toward thrift, honesty and
prosperity.
"It cost us 650,000 lives of young
men to get rid of slavery. I saw
not long ago In Maryland fifty acres
of those young men. Thero are
some 12,000 acres filled with them
on the fields of the South. And this
number was the best the nation
could bring The gaps they left are
filled to all appearauceo. But a new
generation has grown up of men and
women since the war. The men
that died in the 'weary time' had
better stuff in them than the father
of the average man today."
The Children of a Great City
Are the Means of Reform
CHOSE who work in the children's court and know home condi
tions of a great city have come to realize that the SALVA
TION OF THE FAMILY LIES IX THE LITTLE CHILr
DREN brought within the jurisdiction of such an institution.
The children of a city constitute one of its greatest problems. In
these little men and women lie the future citizens, and there is no use
trying to deny that home influence has a great deal to do in making
the product good or bad.
WHEN I SAY THAT THE CHILDREN HAVE A GREAT INFLU
KNCE OVER THE ENTIRE FAMILY AND IN MANY CASES ARE
ABLE TO BRING ABOUT REFORMS THAT ALL OTHER AGENCIES
MIGHT FAIL IN OBTAINING IT SEEMS A BIT EXAGGERATED. BUT
?VERY MAN AND WOMAN WHO HAS WORKED FOR ANY TIME IN
THI? COURT PINS HIS OR HER FAITH TO THE CHILD. THEY
LOOK TO THE CHILD AS THE INSPIRATION FOR GOOD IN THE
HOME.
It seems anomalous that the little ones that should be protected
and kept from harm by the PARENTS ARE REALLY IN A RE
VERSE POSITION and that it is the boy or girl in the majority of
caaes that in reality is taking an interest in the rise of the parents and
EXTENDING A SORT OF MORAL SUPERVISION OVER
THEIR MANNER OF LIVING.
