SOPHISTICATED POLICY.

In the judgment Of many, IL is diff
ficult to understand why preparedness
to meet a remotely possible attack by
foreign foe should take precedence
over preparedness to conquer and
overwhelm a known foe in our midst,
who is every day defying us, and
whose toll of death and disease rivals
that of the battlefelds Of Europe, says
the Union Signal. official organ of the
National w. G. T. u. There Is pos
sibly one chance in a thousand that
our fathers, brothers, husbands and
sons may be called upon at some fu-
ture time to defend the safety of this
country from an alien enemy, but
there is positive certainty that every
day and night of every week until the
liquor traffic is put out of existence II
will injure thousands of our young
men. physically, mentally and spirit
ually; and that this injury will not
end with this generation, but will af-
feet disastrously the next generation.
A policy so short. sighted that 1t neg
lects to guard against a recognized,
immediate, continuing peril Of gigantic
proportions in order to prepare for one
which may never have to be faced, is
unworthy Of enlightened America.

Ideas on Singing Conventions

/ have noticed in all our conyen.
tlons some classes DO all the sing.
ing while others cannot or do not
sing any, on account Of not having
had the proper training or of not
having the kind Of books used in
the convention. We can arrange
our county convention so that every
one may have a chance.
NV views are that the county
should be divided INTO several di.
visions. II is out Of the question
for every class to meet at any one
place IN the county. We can have
our offices for every division a. we
have them now and then elect off
GERS for each division separately aud
let these divisions meet once or
twice a month aud tram together,
say four or five classes and in this
way every class in the county may
be reached. Then We can have our
quarterly meetings each four
months with a much better aud
larger attendance than we have been
having.
II we can get up an interest in
singing, as we had IN 1914 and
change our plans for carrying the
work on the interest will spread
until other counties will become in.
terested and get a move on them
selves.
Oh, that we might sing in the
morning aud evening and let song
touch song all the day through.
Oh, that We could put songs under
our burdens. Sing IN your homes
and teach your children to sing.
Yours IN song,
II. w. Byrd.
