Deserters No Longer Branded Criminals

erect OF the plan in the United States
is the result of long investigation of
the English system made by the Judge
advocate general OF the army. The
English system has been in effect sew
eral years and has resulted in q
marked benefit to the army.
The first movement toward the adop-
ton OF the system in the United States
army was the recent order for the
transfer of all military prisoners con-
v1cted OF feloMes under the civil stat
utes to Alcatraz Island, Cal, and Fort
Jay, N. Y, for confinement, and pris-
oners convicted of purely military Of
lenses or civil offenses amounting only
to misdemeanor, to the Fort Leaven-
worth prison. Several things are yet
to be done before the British plan can
be adopted In It's entirety, but it is
hoped by the military authorities that
congress at it's present session will
pass legislation to do away with pres
ent obstacles. Under the legislation
providing for the erection Of the new
buildings of the military prison it is
provided that the prisoners must do
practically all the work. 1t Is esti-
mated that, under the convict labor
system, two years will be required to
complete this. Other needed legisla-
ton Is: to change the name of the
prison to United States detention bar
racks; placing the barracks under the
control of the army instead OF the
soldiers home commission; modifying
provisions Of existing laws respecting
the employment Of convicts; remov-
ing existing prohibition against re-
enltsting deserters; eliminating provl-
sions Of the law taking away the
rights of citizenship of soldiers who
desert in time of peace.

Why Chief Moore Did Not Preside

III FATHER Chief Willis L. Moore
W sent out an order to all the wealth
err stations over the country some time
ago, forbidding messengers and other
youngsters In the service to smoke
cigarettes. 1t had been noted that
boys who forgot to leave weather
maps where they were directed to.
were nearly all cigarette smokers;
hence the order.
The newspaper photographers and
testers heard about the anti-cigarette
order and promptly made merry over
It. Whenever weather prediction
went wrong they suggested that Moore
un6 his men smoke up-and SO on
From this advertising of the anti-cigar-
cite order, many got the impression
that Moore wouldn't stand for smok-
ing. An anti-tobacco socoety with
headquarters in a western city, arrang-
ed to hold a big conclaye in Washing
ton and they proposed to have Moore
preside. Two ministers, officers of the
society, formed committee that came
on here to see Moore, ask him to pre-
side, and have him assist in working
out program for the suppression of
tobacco in every land and every cline.
Now. it happened that on the day
this committee struck town Moore

G ENATOR Reed Smoot, in conse-
- quence Of his Mormon training,
uses no stimulants-no tobacco, alco-
mol, coffee or tea. No one who has
never undertaken to go through life
without the use of coffee or tea has
any idea Of the petty annoyances that
such abstinence entails. A man can
quit drinking malt, vinous or spurious
liquors and his friends merely re-
mark: ION the wagon, eh?" and let
1t go at that. They don't ask. why he
quit, and usually do not insist on him
drinking, regardless of what may be
the prevailing notion to the contrary
Anybody knows that when a man quits
drinking he does so because he does
not wish to take all the natural finish
OF his insides and die ahead of sched-
ule, or have befuddled, maroon
brain, much as one can see on the
charts in any doctors Office.
But with man who does not drink

1t has been more or less asserted by
scientists and others that both Adam
and Jesus Christ were not white,
which, of course, is easy to believe,
when one thinks of the fact that even
at the present time only about one
eight of the population of the world
is white. But now comes a Theoso-
phist, D. S. M. Unger of Chicago, who
declares he knows for a fact that
Christ is coming back to earth within
the next twenty years. Says Mr..
Unger: whenever nation or the
world really needs great leader, he
turns up. The world is sadly in need
of a great religious leader these days
and SO I know Christ is coming back
within the next twenty years. And,
in order that humanity may have 10
trouble in being certain Of the pres
ence of Christ, he will have brown
BODY.
Well, if Christ returns to this earth
brown in color, there are people in
the United States who will not accept
him.

AFRAID OF BUDDHISTS.

One Rev. Nell is very much afraid
Of the Buddhists missions which have
been started on the Pacific to "propa-
gate the heather faith of India" In
a recent interview, he said:
THE World Parliament of Relio-
ions, back in 1893 at the Worlds Fair
IS responsible for the most dangerous
men in this country today. These are
the Hindu priests, who seek here to
propagate the heather faith of India.
)InWittingly, of course, the parliament
that sat during the Chicago fair played
its part, but the shrewd Hindus were
quick to see the opportunity, and with
a subtle, sagacious and effective flank
movement they have come to America
while America has sent Christian mis-
sionaries and millions to India:
This veneered Hinduism has head
quarters for it's work in Southern Cal
ifornia, at San Diego. There are six
ty thousand Hindus on the Pacific
coast.
Ihere are twelve centers of Bud
dhist and Hindu propaganda there.
ihese are at Seattle, Portland. San
Franchises, Sacramento, Stockton,
Bakersfield, Vacaville and . Other
principal cities. at San lose
there are two Buddhist TEMPLES. and
there is one at Oakland At Los An
gelesthere is an institutional Buddhist
work, somewhat on the lines of the
Young Mems Christian Association"
The Christian religion is all right in
theory, and in some parts of the world
rlsht in practice, but in the United
States, especially in the South. the
practices of so-called Christians are a
travesty on the meek and lowly Naza-
rene. The curse of Caucasian chris
tianity is the color-line. s

goes to dine people ask: do you

OF late years, in order to avoid a

do you find your coffee strong?"
or did you get cream and sugar?"
