WAR.
War sat on a high place near the
city named Earth, where all who past
along the highway called Life could
see him as they went on their jour
neys. Among those who took their
eyes from the ground was the King.
When he saw War he stopped. “Who
are you that sits beside the highway
of Life?” asked King.
War answered: “I am Power and
Dominion and Pride. I am the maker
and unmaker of dynasties. I set up
and pull down the rulers of Earth, the
great city in which you dwell. By me
wealth and strength are apportioned,
dishonor is redeemed, right is made
plain, and justice is done.”
. So King went his way, thinking:
“War is good.”
Soon there came Young Man, and
he, too, asked who War was.
War said: “I am Adventure and
Daring, Boldness and Hardihood. I
bestow renown and distinction on
men. Those who follow me grow
brave of spirit and hard of body. They
learn the happiness that comes from
ardent toil; the joy that is born of
struggle. The people of Earth look
with greatest favor on those who en
roll themselves in my record book
and reward them with the first consid
eration.”
Young Man whistled as he followed
the highway called Life and cried
aloud: “War is noble!”
Next Old Man, weak of sight, and
hard of hearing, peered at War and
said: “Who are you up there?”
To Old Man War replied: “I am
Memory and Thoughts of yesterday.
It was I who filled your heart with
friends and clothed your mind with
the good memorials of a glorious past.
I took from you your arm, but in its
place I gave you something far better
—the service of a devoted friend. By
me you were made poor in pocket, to
beg your bread as you walked the
highway called Life, but in exchange
I gave you the great days of your
manhood to comfort and sustain you.”
Old Man’s face was lighted by the
thoughts of the brave days when he
knew War; and as he set one foot
above the other he chuckled and
struck his thigh with his hand and
mumbled in his beard: “I mind now
that War is a great thing.”
But then there came on the highway
called Life Woman, who had borne
sons that War had destroyed and

daughters who had wept upon her
skirts for their husbands that War
had torn from them; Woman, who
had dried the tears of orphans War
had made and stanched the blood of
wounds that War had given; Woman,
who had mourned War’s dead and
starved that War might eat. And
Woman saw War and asked him noth
ing, but fled, shrieking, away from
him on the highway called Life, and
as Woman fled from him War was
silent, for he had no words to speak.—

C. E. MEETING.
At a regular meeting of the C. E.
Society last Thursday, there was ren
dered one of tl e most interesting pro
grams of! the year. Prof. Morrison, in
a very clear and forceful manner, told
of the great inefficiency in the hand
ling of material that is so often found
in material yards. In his excellent
description of the arrangement of an
efficient material yard, Prof. Morri
son brought out many valuable points
that were of much interest and value
to the members of the society.
It was decided at the business ses
sion to have the Long Horn picture
made in three groups, one of each
class in different departments, instead
of the customary one-group picture.
It is to be regretted that there are
still a number of Junior and Sopho
more C. E. Students that are not at
tending these meetings. All the
meetings so far have been interesting
and instructive, and there is no doubt
that every C. E_ student would derive
great benefit from them. Prof.
Spence is on the program for the next
meeting, and will no doubt have some
thing to say that every C. E. should
hear. Come to these meetings.
THE M. E. AND E. E. SO
CIETIES MEET TOGETHER.
The regular meetings of the M. E.
and E. E. Societies were held in the
auditorium in the E. E. building last
Friday night.
Dean Spence and Dr. Kibler spoke
on interesting subjects. Dean Spence,
in his address, told of the damage
that could be done by a flat-wheel.
Dr. Kibler gave an outline of the rail
road schedules of freight rates in the
United States, dwelling particularly
on those of Texas.
The meeting was a big success. Be
sides a large attendance of the M. E.’s
and E. E.’s, quite a number of instruc
tors and other visitors were present.
