The Star sincerely is hoping that every one of its readers took the opportunity ‘to read it. Take this forceful sentence: “We cannot prepare for the best that ‘we would accomplish without preparing for the worst that may befall us.” What a world of thought is compressed here in a few words. We can think of just one other man in American public life today who has mas- tered the art of expression so well. He is Woodrow Wilson. Then take the concluding sentence: “Every step must be measured by our double desire to remain humane and against temptation from association, in Houston, resolutions were passed declaring war on the packers, It 1s proposed to make it a, finish fight. Every one knows—the cattle men better than anybody else, perhaps—that the Swift, Armour, Cudahy and Morris in- terests absolutely control the meat situ- ation. This combination is about the tightest one in Uncle Sam's domain to- day. A thousand sundry and divers at- tempts to break it have been made in the past, but it has never been even cracked. The cattle raisers were fairly well content as long as the octopus fed only off the public but, for some time, it has been gradually fastening its tentacles upon the throat of the cattle men themselves, Wherefore the declaration of war.

The army has practically no machine guns worth much and an ap- ters’ Exploit NE of the most amazing exploits erted, ever successfully carried out by a Mewspaper reporter in the Pacific North- west, we think it will be agreed, was E. A. Peters’ breaking into the state peni- é and living there several days as | a convict. Peters’ actual residence in the peniten- as a prisoner, accepted as such by real prisoners and by the guards, gave him a coveted opportunity to ex- ‘ ince the life of the men whom society disciplining. His articles are in no sense muckraking spirit, but attempt to show us all as ffectively as is possible what life is like the stone walls. _ She Stuck to It HERE'S an old Latin proverb which runs in effect: “There is nothing which cannot be conquered by persever- ance.” We have an account of a French “woman who wrote more than 200 un- | productive letters inquiring as to the safety of her husband at the front. 4 she reached him with one, and r that he was safe agd unharmed, é consumed with anxiety about her, she having been compelled to desert her “home by the advance of the enemy. lust ponder over it a moment. Would OU write 200 letters to accomplish i “purpose, no matter how fixed; or wou "you give up after the fourth or the 40th or the one hundredth vain attempt? Perseverance is one of the greatest of qualities. It must be attained while to reach its highest efficiency in maturity. It becomes a sixth sense al- ‘most, this habit of sticking doggedly to @ purpose until success is achieved. propriation of $50,000 annually for the purchase of this vital arm of the service has not been used by that bureau The bureau reeks with suspicion of spite-work, negligence and general senil- ity. Its excuse, in this instance, is that it doesn’t know what type of machine gun is satisfactory. This, with 18 months of demonstration by machine guns in Europe! The country is beginning to believe that about the figst step in preparedness should be the renovation of those army bureaus at national headquarters. " In Time of Need, Try This N HISTORICAL backing for one’s opinion is often a great comfort. In an argument there is nothing which will floor an opponent quicker than a quota- tion from George Washington. Those who are talking in favor of preparedness may find strength in this from the Father of his Country: “There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld, if not not absolutely fost, by the reputation of weakness. if we desire to avoid Insult, we must be a! to repel it; if we deside to se- cure peace, one of the most powerful instru. ments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.” “MARRIED MEN Begin Rioting,” says a London headtin Shucke! Just send for i wives. Who ever heard of a married men’ riot that ever amounted to anything? England le getting scared of its own shadow.
