A FRIENDS TRIBUTE TO
LITTLE MAC"
By Sam H. Clark

1t seemed so easy, way back there
in the sunlit days of our close friend
ship and palship, that little Mac"
and I should enter into the bond that
has it's ending and fulfllment here
when I have penned these lines Of
tribute to my dead friend. It was in
those troublous days when Minot was
shedding it's swadding clothes of the
frontier shack town, and taking on its
first real strides toward the splendid
city that it now is, that I first met
Jack Mcleod. I had just drifted
westward with Horace Greeley's ad-
vice snugly tucked in my pocket and
had acquired control Of the Minot
Daily Reporter, about the time that
Little Mac, as he was Familiarity
known, became the editor of the STAN
ley Sun, small weekly paper pub
lished in the village of Stanley, just
a few miles west of Minot. Mac had
been familiar figure about Minot for
several years, having published Mi
not's first daily newspaper in tent,
and having been connected in various
capacities with practically every
weekly publication that Ward county
had boosted up to that time. 1t was
shortly after / arrived in the then
thoroughly bustling and I might say
sizzling city of Minot and had taken
up my duties as editor Of the Daily
Reporter that Mac commenced to
chronicle many of the misdeeds and
more sensational doing of Minot citi-
zens. He devoted much editorial
space to what he termed "Unright-
eous Minot," "Unholy Minot," "The
City of Sin," "The Vestibule of HE'LL"
and it was not long before Mac and I
were using up our editorial energies
in one of those old time newspaper
battles, he burning up Minot in
every issue and defending it as best
l could from his characteristic on
slaughts. The usual thing happened;
we became personal, and while Meth
er of US had ever seen the other the
campaign of bitter personality that
was waged between us attracted
statewide attention, and in those semi
frontier days people were wondering
just when the shooting would take
place and who would get in the first
shot.
And then one day Mac drifted down
to the county seat to talk county

that had been cut off for a sanctum,
and l heard someone say to the girl
in the outer office, "Where is the High
Priest of this Rag of Freedom? By
the Gods of War l want to settle with
him right now and here" Mac was
shown into my private den and l
didn't have the slightest intimation
who or what he was. But there he
stood, a dapper little man, scarcely
more than five feet tall, with shock
of curly iron-grey hair, piercing dark
eyes and smile that fairly radiated
sunshine. Just how it all happened
l cannot recount here, but an hour
later we two-Little Mac and walk
ed out of my den with locked arms,
and the friendship that started there
has been one of the strongest, sweet
est sentiments of my life. Mac and I
grew to be real pals, and as look

friendship, know that / am better

time has come, and we will say good
bye, Little Mac. And as we recall the
casket banked in beautiful flowers,
mute tributes from sorrowing friends,
we wonder if those flowers with their
petaled lips and perfumed breath did
not whisper to Little Mac in fragrance
the sentiment that is too tender for
words.

ALCOHOL IN ARMY AND NAVY

AS a strict war measure, the Council
of National Defense has taken decisive
steps for the hygienic and mental well
fare of the soldiers and sailors of the
nation. 1t has struck at the presence
of venereal diseases and at alcoholism
in all military commands.
Guided by the General Medical
Board. which is constantly studying
medical problems il connection with
the Army and Navy mobilization. the
decisions of the council are these:
First, that under military contr 4, an
effective zone shall be created about
all military commands as the most
practicable and effective measure to
prevent venereal diseases. Second,
that these military zones shall serve
also as a means of control of alcoholic
beverages to the troops. These decis-

in having as a regular feature of the
evening service the best orchestra in

be heard with pleasure in any city

favored by such talent, we have come
to take the gift as a matter of course.
Appreciate your privilege, people, and
make the most of il. The solos by
Mrs. Button and Miss Marian Carlisle
last Sunday were well selected and
rendered with exquisite taste. The
orchestra was up to its usual stand

will be put forth this week to make our
programs even better than usual. Come

ions are reached by the council after
exhaustive study of conditions today
among great European armies.
Zones about the military commands
will, therefore, be created and con-
ditions in these zones will be guarded
by military measures so as to prevent
the spread of venereal diseases. The
two military arms of the government
officially recognize that confluence is
compatible with health.
The council also recommends, as a
further solution of the problem, that
all military commands be provided
with good facilities for the recreation
of the troops. 1t urges that all suit
able athletics be encouraged.
The use of alcoholic beverages on
the part of soldiers and sailors in mill
tary commands has long been under
military control. But the creation now
of these military zones will in effect
extend such control over the troops
when they are off duty out of the COM
mands.
ITO face these ugly facts in an I'M
finching and no half-hearted fashion,"
said DR.. Franklin H. Martin. member
of the Advisory Commission of the
Council of National Defense, makes
for the fighting power of the nation.
But our troops are inseparably a part
Of our civil life, and a clean, whole
some, temperate life among these
troops will in the end make for our
civil advancement, compared to which
the cost of the war is nothing. The
whole nation is indebted to the Gen
eral Medical Board for it's thorough
going research, and for its definite re-
concentrations in the matter of real
protection to our boys" e
