tion."
It's safe tn say that most English.
men agreed with the Ually News at
that time. ], was accepted as literally
true that compulsory military service
was worse than disastrous and hu.
initiating defeat.
And now, the fight started nearly a
year ago by Lord Northcliffe is win
ming. Parliament is passing the con-
scription bill. The Irish Nationalist
have withdrawn their objections to 1t
which is easy enough for them, be.
cause it doesn't apply to Ireland any
how-and even the labor party which
was willing to wreck the empire
rather than compromise its rights"
and liberties" is yielding.
Six months ago CONSUMPTION was the
worst Of evils. Today it is tolerated
as a necessary measure. Six months
hence the British people will be &C.
claiming it as essentially admirable,
and in accord with British ideals and
ihoiilutlOib'
And they will be nearer right about
1t then than they were at first. For
there's something essentially demo
cratic about CONSUMPTION. 1t treats
everybody alike, preventing shirkers
from profiting at the expense of the
patriotic and unselfish.
The reason compulsory military ser,
vice is in such bad ordor here and else.
where is that it has too often been the
device Of tyrants to force an unwilling
people to fight their wars of personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. If CONSUMPTION is
adopted by majority vote or prepond
Grant opinion of free people, then
conscription is democratic. When a
free nation in a fight for existence
needs more soldiers than II can get by
voluntary enlistment, universal ser
vice is the only way. If the United
States today were in Great Britain's
place. we should adopt conscription
and do it without violence to oul
ideals.

CHEATING
CHILDR EN-.

or many forms of knavery, cheating
orphans OF their small estates seems
one of the meanest and most disgrace
full. II has been charged recently In
New York that 40 per cent of chill
drens' guardians permitted to serve
without bond, have defrauded the es.
tates Of their charges. These guar.
dams have coolly taken whole estates
or appropriated allowances, secure In
their personal irresponsibility before
the law. Most OF the estates so robbed
have been small ones, since the large
ones are usually so placed that schem.
ers can't get at them.
These modern babes In the woods
have no redress for their wrongs IL the
court has failed in the first place to
require bonds of the guardians.
1t Is a strange comment on human
nature that there are 80 many grown.
ups who will deliberately take ad-
vantage of such a trust to cheat and
defraud their wards. II seems always
to have been done. however. Even
relatives Of helpless children yield TO
the temptation OF greed and dishonest
gain. Unless adequate protection Is
given by the law there is no assurance
that the child's rights will be honestly
looked after. As long as human ma
ture has this streak OF meanness all
guardians should be held absolutely
responsible before the law, making
such abuse OF guardianship Impossible.

TWO THOUGHTS ON MAN

When old Davy Thoresu said that a
man must love flowers to make them
grow, he said a mouthfuL
The tickling touch of love Is necessary
in the cultivation OF all things from flow
ers to Jobs.
Most men have a queer idea Of their
work. They believe that a Job gets big
ger when in reality 1t Is themselves THAI
grow.
You can see your development day by
day-there is no mirror to equal your
own occupation.
II it seems empty and hollow, make
up your mind that it is you that are
empty and hollow.
Feed it more love, for Nature never
betrayed the heart that loved her.
Your estimate of a mans size depends
upon the distance you stand OF from
him.
If it is the physical man you see, he
/ becomes smaller and smaller as he
moves away-larger and larger as he
comes toward you.
But how different to US does the In
tellectual Man appear!
The closer he approaches the smaller
he is-the farther off he moves the
greater he becomes.
Indeed, il he pass entirely from our
sight and the dust of centuries cover
him. he grows so big that we call him
