honors until discharged with disabil-

pointed as recruiting officer he was
sent to Ell Paso. Texas and several
other cities in the west to recuit men

proved true to his blessed Master,
until God in his infinite mercy saw fit
to call him home, where there is
neither suffering nor pain.

summoned, and everything possible
was done to relieve the poor sufferer,

PERSONAL RELIANCE AND CON
TRol
(By John c. Tricel

/ Personal or self-reliance is not only
a divine teaching, but 1t is the super
lative of wise human characteristics.
Only few days ago the press des-
patches informed us of young man
who had committed suicide and left
a note giving as reason for his rash
act that he had always been taught to
yield his opinions to those of others.
knowledge gained from the ex-
perience and observations of more
mature years had shown him the folly
of such teaching. modified beyond en-
durance, he ended his misery in
death.
To teach youngsters against per-
sonal or self-reliance and control is
in effect. to teach them they are I'M
manly weaklings, and supply an ex-
cuse for all the indiscretions of youth.
1t is one of the colossal contradic-
tons of prohibition that Il heralds tt
self as embodying all that is good
and manly. while teaching its fol-
lowers they are weaklings. and re-
quire the strong arm of civil law to
keep them good.
Law Is for the punishment of indi-
viduals for an overt act. not alone In
the sense of retributory vengence, but
because of the restraining effects of
such punishment upon persons with
like evil intentions. This may be said
to be the basic principle of all our
criminal law, which embrace our
moral statutes. and is founded upon
the higher law. 1t cannot be denomi-
mated prohibition, because it does
not prohibit and makes no pretense
to such an impossibility. 1t does
teach individual responsibility, how
ever, and though that teaching has
had a wonderful restraining influence
upon mankind.
Some esteemed friend take excep-
ton to the clerical expression pub
lished in these columns to the effect
that prohibition is not christianity.
So do I. That is, to the manner of
expression-not to the sentiment. The
expression should have been, Not
Christlike. Under the amazing
leniency of the plan salvation, men
may live long way from God, and
still make the goal. Hence l have
hopes for prohibitionists. But it cam
not be said Christ was a prohibitions
list. Therefore, prohibition is not
Christ-like 1t follows, also, that it is
not christian-like: because the life of
Christ was nothing but a manifesto
ton of christianity which is pleasing
to God.
Law is not for the arbitrary restric-
tions of the liberties of people who
live right, but the punishment or
wrong doers-for it's restraining eff
fects upon those of like evil inclina-
ton. Any other kind of law is an un-
warranted infringement upon human
rights.
Self-retraint Is one of the most
beautiful of all the teachings of chris
tianity. On the other hand, forcible
restraint of the freedom of those not
engaged in, nor likely to engage in.
an overt act against the peace and
well being of society is form OF
tyranny which has brought to grief
every government which adopted. and
enforced it.
Everybody knows that to tell
child, Thou Shalt Not" and then per-
NIT it to do the inhibited thing, makes
1t disobedient and willful. So, also
with men--who are, nothing but
boys grown old" It follows, of neces-
sity, then. that the passage of laws
which cannot be enforced is harmful
to society.
