Rabbi Raisin. in your issue of the 10th inst
struck the keynote when he expressed the
following, which quote:
Liquor indulgence is largely a question OF
individual morality, and such morality can
not be legislated. It is the Church and the
school that can prove most effective in fight
ing the drink evil. Let our churchgoers be
more consistent in living up to their pro-
fessions." J. {. WAMBOLD.

A Public Mentor.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me 70 congratulate The Trib
unc upon its decision 70 bar all liquor adj
vcrtis,ng. IN taking this step The Tribune
sets an example which hope will be fol
lowed by our entire newspaper press. j
means much moro than recognizing a serious
social evil Il is an indication that our great
newspapers are coming to see that they arc
intrusted with the responsibility of mould
ing and directing the opinion and moral de
cisions Of the American public. When thai
sense Of obligation becomes general among
our newspapers it will usher in a great day
for America.
Wishing you every success, remain,

A Fine Step Forward.

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: May I most heartily congratulate
you on your decision TO exclude all liquor
advertisements from your paper? This is a
fine step forward and you are without doubt,
leading a way which many other metropoli-
tan papers will shortly follow. Il will add to
the influence Of your paper because il de
monstrates its sincerity. | am certain that
every church will rally to your support and
every churchman ought 20 encourage such a
stand by public and private approval and by
regularly reading and patronizing The Trib-

and it will unless it prepares itself to on
force peace. that son should offer his ser
vices. lie is Of the kind and type that will
be required. If he should fail TO enlist. the
government will have the right TO conscript
him; but the curse Of God will and should
rest upon that nation and that people that
will call its best blood to the colors without
having first taught them 10 take care OF them
selves. and that will mot furnish them as
good arms as they arc forced to face; that
will not give them ammunition 10 last till
the fight is over; that will not cover their
positions and movements by field artillery
equal in quantity and OF as long range as
that OF the adversary; that will not provide
aircraft and submarine craft in short. that
will not do all that human resource and hu-
man skill can do 20 make their defensive po-
siton tenable and their offensive movements
successful. Anything less than the best is
absolutely worthless. Any preparedness less
than adequate preparedness is useless. and
war waged with Anticipated or insufficient
equipment is worse than murder. for il sub
jccts those who heed the call Of duty and
who obey tho command Of the country to
ignominious defeat and shameful slaughter.
