MIscovERNMENT,

Most disagreement in republics
arises from the fact that "what is
everybody's business is nobody's
business"
Thru tradition and custom people
have come to look on municipal or
state government as vague sort of
entity not connected with them by a
vital tie like that which binds a man
to his business.
A man can attend a corporation
directors meeting in which he has
voted for a president or general
manager solely because of certain
traits of character or excellent bust
ness ability, not stopping to inquire
whether he is Presbyterian or a
Democrat or what he thinks about
baseball or whether he is a good flat
terer or mixer. He can go away
from there straight to state or
municipal election booth and vote
for a county clerk or state auditor
solely because he agrees with him on
the crime of '73 or the tariff or be-
cause the candidate is skillful cam
paigner and pounds the boys on the
back. He changes his standards of
service.
The county or state is corpora
ton, but it does not have the hold on
the individual that corporation
should have on a stakeholder. The
sooner people get their counties and
states on business basis instead of
political basis, the sooner will mis-
government be driven out and eff
cheney be put in its place.-Wichita
Beacon.

An Honest Obituary.


Frank Waller was a unique charac-
ter. An honest comment is difficult
to make in newspaper. We do not
want to say an unkind thing about
him. He put nothing into the world
and got nothing out of it. His
boarded wealth brought him an early
grave, and he could take none of it
with him. He was honest as he saw
honesty, obeyed the laws of the land
when it cost him nothing, neighhbor-
ed with no one, trusted no one, got
all he could, and kept all he got. His
uppermost philosophy of life was a
false one-that is, that man with
money in his pocket must of neces-
sity have friends and happiness. He
contracted no debts, gave nothing to
charity or public enterprise, knew
nothing about the high cost of living,
travelled none, read little, never
spent a cent "foolishly," never in
vested or gambled. Many lad of 10
has seen more of life worth living
than he He belonged to no societies,
fraternal or religious. He enjoyed
making good deals in buying and
selling. He was sober, industrious,
independent, a stickler for the last
pound of flesh allowed by law He
has passed to his reward.-The Mar
quette Tribune.

The Life of a Fly.

The flies, they tell US, live but a
Few weeks; certainly not more than
a few months. But that is counting
time according to the flys standard.
And it makes all the difference in
the world whose standard you use.
The Oldest living things on earth
are the great redwood trees of Cali
fornia. They were big trees when
the Nazarene preached in Palestine.
They were big enough for boy to
climb, away back in the dark days of
old .Rameses. For six thousand years
or more they have been responding
to the welcoming touch of the soft
winds, and bowling their morning
solutions to the rising sun. They
look upon us as fleeing migrants
through the world, and if they COM
mune with each other-an they may
they talk about our living but a
brief space of 70 or 80 or 80 years
for all the world as we speak of
the brevity of fly's life.
The truth is, the span of life of all
created things is the same. Or, ia
put it differently, everything lives its
span of life," and the number OF
times the sun comes up and goes
down during that span, makes little
difference. The flies come upon the
scene. They perform their func
tions. They retire. That is all thai
we can do; it is all that the great
redwood trees of California can hope
to do. Youth, maturity, decay-thert
is nothing else in all the world, fol
any species. And there is tim,
enough is every span of life for thos,
very things.
There are mites whose span of If,
is but few hours in length. Blu
they live as long-to them-as W,
live, or as the trees of the forests live
and no longer. They live out thei
careers; that is all. That is all Their
is of life for anything. So we nee,
lose no sleep over the fact that fl,
lives but few weeks-no more thai
we should lose sleep over the fact thu
we ourselves live but few years.

MARRIED MEN NOT EXEMPT
FROM SERVICE AS CLASS
Federal Agents Are Ordered to prose-
cute Drafted Men Who Seek
~ to Eyade Service.

Washington, August 18.-Renew-
ed instructions that drafted men who
fail to report for service will be
classed and punished as deserters
were sent to United States district
attorneys and agents of the depart
ment of Justice tonight by Attorney
General Gregory.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has ruled that persons who neglect to
appear for examination will be ac-
cepted automatically and that the
privilege of claiming exemption will
be denied. 1t was to help carry this
policy into effect that the attorney
general acted"
1T is not a matter of vital con-
Germ" says the instructions, $50
much to the government as to the
persons themselves to see that they
give the correct address for their
notices to be mailed to them. Should
they fail to comply with these notices
after receiving them, they become
automatically drafted without regard
to physical examination or to exemp-
ton or discharge.
"Where persons are known to be
wilfully refusing to comply with the
request of the local boards and are
so conducting themselves as to be a
menace to the proper enforcement of
the CONSUMPTION act, and their where
abouts are known, they should be de-
tanned in Jail on complaints charging
violations of section six of the con-
scription act, until the time when
they are ordered by the adjutant
general to report for duty in the ma
tional army. They should at that
date be turned over to the military
authorities. No prosecution need be
had as it will be unnecessary expense
and little is to be gained therefrom. /"
Renewed discussions of the status
of married men under the selective
service law has been aroused by pub
LEGATION of PresidentWilson's letter
to Senator Weeks dealing with this
and other subjects. In many quar-
tiers, the presidents statement that
he had no doubt Senator Weeks
point as to the exemption of married
men was well taken, was interpreted
as an indication that he approved
exemption of any man of family who
had not married merely to escape
military duty.
The president has full power to
direct that the regulations governing
selection be amended to this effect.
A proposal specifically to exempt all
married men was made when the bill
was in the senate. This fact, togeth-
er with the regulation later promul-
gated by the president, making ex-
emption possible only in case of
actual dependency, are taken as m
dications that no general exemption
for married men as class will be
given now.
