BEHOLD. A MAN.

So rare are the practice-what-
they preachers in this life, at
any rate, that when one of them
puts in an appearance he would seem
worthy of more attention than the
passing notice that is given him in the
news columns of the papers. This
appears especially true when such an
unusual unit of humanity-impossib
though it might seem to most folk
happens to be a newspaper editor or
minister of the gospel, the profess
sional preachers of modern life. In
this particular instance, this marvel is
an editor, William G. Greame, the
proprietor and publisher of the Bethel
Journal of Bethel, Ohio. Apparently
not satisfied that he was doing his full
duty to his country in merely filling
the columns of his newspaper with
preparedness pleas, Editor Greame
has volunteered his services in time
of war, and has requested that he be
assigned as a private to the ranks of
the United States marine corps. He
served an enlistment with the sea
soldiers some years ago, and is thor
oughIy trained for either sea or land
duty And Editor Greame is as mod
est as he is patriotic. He does not
make the announcement that he is
prepared to fight in the ranks if his
nation has to fight; and is not con-
tent to sit back in his editorial chair
and proceed to tell the army and navy
how they should do the fighting, which
is more often the extent to which most
editors let their patriotism run ram
pant. 1t has trickled through the Off
cial news channels at Washington,
with the further information that
Major General Barnett, commanding
the United States marine corps, has
gladly accepted the proffered services
of Mr.. Greame and will call him to
the colors if ever the need should
arise So let's give Editor Greame
three cheers. one for his willingness
to practice what he breaches. another
for his patriotism and the third for
his modesty.

INTERNATIONAL LAW.

The most serious indictment against
international law at the present time
consists, not in the manner in which
this war is being waged, but in the
brutal fact of war itself, writes Philip
Marshall Brown, in the North Ameri-
can Review. The true function of in
ternational law is not to govern war
it is to avert war. This is the real
vital problem which should claim the
serious attention or all thoughtful
men: how can the law of nations best
fulfill its functions in time of peace T?
Why is it that international law. since
Grotius, in 1926, tried to bring nations
to their senses, has not yet found the
way of avoiding war? Can it plead
the impossibility of changing the evil
hearts, the predatory instincts, the
blind passions of men? Or must it
humbIy admit that it has been in
error: that its alleged principles its
bold postulates, have been unsound,
fallacious, and unrelated to the facts
of international existence? The charge
against the defective nature of man is
of course, in large measure, well
founded but nothing can excuse in
ternational law if it should be proved
that its methods and its theories have
been faulty and unscientific. This, I
fear, ought candidly to be admitted. II

TO THE FAREWELL PLACE.

It's the same old world, in shine and shade,
That God in the first, sweet morning made:
Same sweet stars in the sky above,
With light like the light in the eyes you
love:
Same old round O. the rosy years:
Same old lorrow you see through tears; ,
Same old road, and same old race
TO run with a dream to the Farewell
Place.
o the wrath-folk rise and dare the skies
To match their fire where the lightning
And you hear the loud war-thunders beat
Till they shake the graves at a war kings
And the paths of human life are crossed
Where the Rachels weep for their children
lost:
Same old road where the burdened race
Take tears and dreams to the Farewell
Place.
And with right and wrong we press along
From night to the dream of a morning
song;
Same old sad story of sorrows old;
Same sweet joys that the heart would
And the wounded breast still signs for
And rest comes sweet when God thinks
best;
And we glimpse the light of the mornings
face
At the shining gates of the Farewell Place

A FEDERAL LAW NEEDED.

DR.. A. J. McKelway, of the National
Child Labor committee, made a fitting
and adequate reply to the statements
of Miss Mary G. Garrett and Mrs
Helen P. Birney, who appeared before
the senate committee on interstate
commerce to oppose the Heating child
labor bill Dr. McKelway said that
from the testimony of the two women
he discovered that they were actually
expressing Individual opinions and did
not attempt to represent the sentiment
of the National Congress of Mothers,
which they have been credited in some
quarters as doing. He pointed out that
they did not object to the 16-year
limit for mines, or the night work or
other provisions of the bill but OPP
posed the 14-year limit for factory
work on the ground that the children
of the poor ought to be allowed to
work during vacation even though
they were not IA years of age. Dr.
McKelway then told the committee
that of the Toe, 100000 people in the
United States more than 100000
have already committed themselves to
the 14-year age limit through their
legislatures. The strength of the SEN
timent, if it be called sentiment, be-
hind the federal child labor law"
said DR.. McKelway, ''is the experience
which people interested in this ques-
ton in the states have already had
concerning the workings of child labor
laws. They recognize that the federal
law will be a great aid in enforcing
the laws already in existence in most
| of the states. With regard to the en-
ployment of children under 4 in fac
tories in vacation, experience is also
] our guide. At first a good many
states allowed such employment But
it was found that the worst season Of
the year for combining children within
the walls of factories was during the
torrid summer months. Again, it was
found that when once the mill or fac
tory had laid claim to the child under
A, every possible device was used to
continue the employment after the
vacation period was over 1 earnestly
deprecate the position that the little
children of the poor must be deprived
of their Saturday holiday and of Their
vacation periods, or that we have de-
scended so low in civilization that it is
necessary to sentence children under
IA to hard labor in factories in order
to keep them from becoming Grim.

would seem true that the law of ma
tions, receiving it's inception, as it did,
at the hands of Grotius as a moral
protest against the existing state
sought to play the role of the preach
er, the teacher, the reformer, the.
moral idealist rather than to serve as
the jurist-consult, the lawgiver, the
practical statesman. The special evil
dence of this regrettable fact is to be
found in the attempt to identify inter
national law with the Law of Nature,
that mysterious, sovereign legislation,
that supreme authority to which men
are supposed to submit all their hui
man affairs. The pity of it all is that
the followers of Grotius would seem,
in the main, to have misunderstood
his purpose in invoking the Law of
Nature. Grotius himself was most
scientific in method, and a careful
study of his statements does not in
dictate that he confused international
law with the Law of Nature. On the
contrary, wherever he could ascertain
an undoubted principle of law through
an exhaustive examination of inter
national usages, customs, and prece-
dents of all kinds, there he was con-
tent to rest his case. But where
for example. in the matter Of mitigat
ing the horrors of war-he found little
or no support for his humane conten-
tions in usage, custom, or precedent,
he then appealed to the Law of Nature
in the obvious hope that, in the alb
sence of a supreme Imperial of Church
authority, mankind would acknowl-
edge the dictates of reason and hu-
mainly expressed in terms of Natural
Law. The most that Grotius would
seem to have implied by such an ap
peal was challenge to the reason of
man, to his sense of equity, to his sem
timents of justice. And this, appar-
emily, is about all that any of us really
mean when, outside of the field of re-
ligion, we venture to appeal to ma
tural rights

But it isn't spring at ALL" he cried
for what do you suppose he found

Snow, Though there was not much
of it, to be sure.
Now that's the funniest thine

Yet look at the SOW
But he bravely wandered out into

Finally he thought of somethins
