Nash has handled some big

He is a graduate of Cornell uni

HAY BILL DOSEN'T
SUIT WAR CROWD
Local Congressman Would Have OPP.
posed Amendment Giving Presi-
dent MOnarchial Powers.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, March 24-The army
bill which passed the house yesterday
was not at all satisfactory to the mil
itarist contingent Of congress. So
many concessions were made to the
anti-militarists that the big standing
army advocates of the house declared
themselves as disguised. Compulsory
military training, continental army,
standing army Of 100000 men, and
other features of the program Of the
militarists are not in the bill as it
finally passed the house. At the last
moment, rather than risk a fight,
Chairman Hay of the military affairs
committee decided not to introduce
his amendment giving the president
the power to draft in time of war
every man in the United States be-
tween IS and IS years of age.
Representative Tavenner had ar
ranged to oppose the amendment, as
serting that it carried more power
than is possessed by the king of Eng
land, and would be standing menace
to the peace of the country. A pres
ident contemplating plunging the
country into war might be encouraged
to do so by the knowledge that he
could make the people fight whether
they wanted to or not.
Tavenner contends that conscrip-
ton legislation can be provided for
in time of war if it should become
necessary. "The bill as it passed the
house." said Tavenner, "is far too
moderate to suit the militarists. It
predict that the measure will not be
recognizable when it comes back to
the house from the senate I was one
of those in the house who voted to
make it unlawful to use the national
guard to take part in disputes between
capital and labor. The average young
man is willing to give his life fight
ing for his country if necessary, but
he is not willing to be used as a po-
liceman or strikebreaker in labor dis
putes. If the militarists in the senate
put Objectionable features in the bill,
l reserve the right to vote against it
when the measure comes back to the
house"

CONSCIENCE WILL
DIE IF NOT USED
Must Be Trained Under Proper Stand
ards to Light the Inner Life OF
Mankind.

what is the reason that so many
people can conscientiously do thing
that is absolutely wrong? 1t is be-
cause conscience through misuse has
been atropfled and no longer serves its
proper function" stated Rev. j. M.
Schaad last evening at Trinity Epis-
copal church, Rock Island, in his in
teresting discussion Of THE Place and
Power of Conscience in Human Life
The speaker took up the phase OF
the Lords prayer, Forgive Our Tres
passes" and asked how one was to
know what sin is. He pointedly in
quired if one is born with knowledge
of it or if information concerning it
came with intellectual training and
then remarked: above and behind the
mental faculties and will, something
within us sets in judgment on our
acts. 1t is the inner light that re-
veals man to himself. 1t is con-
science"
Scripture on which Rev. Scnaad
based his sermon was that passage
in the twentieth chapter Of proverbs
which states: "The light of man is
the lamp of the Lord searching all
the inward parts"
This evening Rev. Schaad will
speak on the reformation and Henry
VIII and will explain the church's use
