Gas and oil stoves are a nuisance. Yes, Sir They are
positively dangerous to health. They consume the good

Electricity, on the other hand, is in every way sanitary as
well as quick in heating. And then it is handy for a
score of other things—such as washing and ironing,
cooking, vacuum cleaning, sewing.

President M. Woolsey Stryker
(Adapted from the Baccalaureate Sermon to the Class of 1909,
Hamilton College.)
“Had you seen but one day of war,” said the old Duke of Welling-
ton, “you would pray God you might never see another.” “My
lords,” said he (in giving reasons to concede Catholic emancipa-
tion in 1829), “I have pased more of my life in war than most
men, and to avoid civil war, even for a month, I would sacrifice
my life.” But in a truly human sense all war is civil war. This
“malady of princes,” as Erasmus called it, is the mania of civiliza-
ton. It gives the lie to Christ! That the pages of history are
punctuated with battles is not of itself a justification but an indict-
' "ment. It is a tragedy of errors.
But while we know that war is always calamity, we may not re-
fuse to hear the other side—that some wars are on one side noble.
Seldom so; but, nevertheless sometimes. There are causes too
humane to be submitted to destruction. Some rights are more
precious than money and life and tranquility. Force in defense
or championship of these is sometimes inevitable. We may not
forget how England stood up to meet the Armada nor how Europe
was rescued from the Saracen, nor how Holland outwearied Alva
and expelled the Inquisition, nor Leipsic and Waterloo, nor Bunker
Hill, nor Decatur and McDonough; no, nor Gettysburg. Well may
we rejoice for what we did in 1898 when we delivered Cuba from
the unspeakable Weyler. That was a thing on which we could “in-
voke the deliberate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor
of Almighty God with all the signals of justice flying, the
steel throats were charged with the retributions of Kod. Nothing
but “armed intervention” could have done it. As deep called to
deep we showed that because we loved mercy we were ready to
shed our blood for it. We cleansed the seas of the yellow flag, af-
terward we cleansed Havana of the yellow fever.
There remains the tremendous balance against the anterior
< causes of strife. The gravamen does “not lie against the. stern
virtues of the soldier, and the love of country: but against those
who established the soldier as the first guardian of that love, so
that bloated armaments with crushing taxations are the sequel of
the lust of territory and of power.
Blind and savage persons may grimace their contempt. They
do not dream—no, they only snore. But salvation is nearer. Bar-
barities of detail have been discarded. Rape and slavery no longer
follow the flags. Great pieces of the earth have been neutralized
•—oases these. A mighty feeling spreads. Frontiers like our
own are free of weapons. The “Christ of the Andes” stands over
the moral union of Chili and Argentina. Legislation, in spite of
rash naval programs, is more amenable to decency.
For the better day of a world-wide sympathy “we will trust God.
The blank interstices men take for ruins He will build into.”
“For Thine are all of us, and ours
Thou! Till the seasons bring to birth
A perfect people, and all powers
Be with them that bear fruit on earth. -
Till the inner heart of man be one
With freedom and the sovereign sun,
• And Time, in likeness of a guide,
Lead the Republic as a bride .
Up to God’s side.”

The testimony of two Buffalo
women was interesting. One of
them said that she lived two or
three days on a little cold ham
and a can of beans. Another, a
young widow living in a ques-
tionable district, works for a
wage of $6 a week clerking and
has a little room in a lodging
house not far from Buffalo’s red
right district.
The lights are not yet red
where she lives but she said “the
lights are getting pinker every
year.”
In a few cases the Salamander
. type of girl, the type made
, famous by a novelist of the day,
exists among the shop girls.
But it is the Salamander who
has gentleman friends not for
the good time and the expensive
luxuries but for the real neces-
sities.
Said one of them, ‘Gee! But I
feel sore for the girls who
haven’t got a steady,” she said.
“Why! if I had to buy all my
meals I’d never get along. Sun-
day dinner I always count on
him.”
Well, the substance of the tes-
timony was that State Factory
. Commission through its agents,
Miss Esther Packard, Miss Mary
Van Kleeck, Roswell Skeel, Jr.,
Mrs. Marie Orenstein and others;
showed that out of a total of
104,000 wage earners investigat-
ed by the Commission one-eigth
earn less than $5 a week; one
third less than $7; two-thirds re-
ceive $10 or. less and only one-
sixth make $15 or more. Half
of the wage earners get less than
$8 a week.
It does not make pleasant
reading, this thought that a girl
“omits” a meal or two a day to
buy herself a coat to keep off the
cold weather. But many of them
do it.
