Hurrah For Colonel ROOSEVELT

For one time The Advertiser is forced
to say Hurrah for Colonel Roosevelt!
While he all along has been at vari-
ance with the Presidents policies and
at times criticized him with char
acteristic severity, now that the ma
tion is nearing crisis, stands on the
very brink of war, Colonel Roosevelt
rallies in truly loyal terms to Wood
row Wilson'S support. Several days
ago he gave utterance to the follow
ing:
AZ shall try in every way to support the
President in all that he does to uphold
the honor of the United States and to
safeguard the lives of American citi-
zens. Yesterday l wrote to the War
Department asking permission to raise
a division, if war is declared and there
is call for volunteers to go to war.
In such an event and my four sons
will go.
Some will say this effusion of Colo
mel Roosevelt is but play to the gal
leries. Well, for arguments sake, grant
that it is, yet do you not know that
such assurances of loyalty coming at
this crucial iuncture to man who has

A Law That Will Prohibit.

The making of law for selling whis-
key on physicians prescription used
to provoke a smile. But the DuRant
bill which IS about to become a law
does not belong in that class. 1t is so
framed that it will be about as difficult
for we'll man to get liquor through a
reputable physician as for a camel to
worm his way through a needles eye.
In other words, the law only makes
provision for obtaining whiskey as a
medicine and not as beverage. Using
whiskey as a beverage will soon be q
thing of the past in South Carolina.
The great masses of the people have
reached the point that they want pro-
hibition the WILL PROHIBIT. And
that's what we will have in South Car
olina. Those who are accustomed to
their gallon a month will have to "cut
out" three quarts and will have to get
sick to retain the fourth quart. The
following is one section of the DuRant
measure, which will in all probability
be enacted, without amendment, be-
fore the legislature adjourns Satur-
day:
"No common carrier shall deliver
any alcoholic liquors to any person
not a physician until he has filed with
the delivering carrier prescription,
signed by physician in good stand
ing. for the same, bearing date within
one week of said delivery, and con-
tanning the name of the patient, the
nature of the disease, and the sigma
ture of the physician, and also made
and filed an affidavit that said pa
tient is sick and that said alcoholic
liquors or beverages are obtained for
said patient, that the consignee is
q wears old and that he has not
received any other package of al
coholic liquors or beverages within
the same calendar month, and also
that the office of said delivering carrier
is the nearest office to his place of resi-
dence; and said affidavits and pre-
scriptions shall be filed according to
dates of deliveries of said alcoholic
liquors or beverages and kept one year
by said common carrier, and shall be
open to inspection by any person. Any
physician in regular practice may re-
ceive not exceeding one quart in any
one month without prescription and
without affidavit that same is for any
particular patient, but all of the other
provisions Shall be complied with.
"Any physician issuing a prescrip-
ton for alcoholic liquors or beverages
shall file within one week thereafter,
with the clerk of the court of county
in which he resides, statement show
ing name Of patient, amount and date
prescribed, which statements shal! be
open to public inspection. After one
year from date OF filing, clerk of the
court shall destroy all the statements
and reports filed with him under this
/ act.

Inconceivable Sums.

From the very outset, the number
of men who we're rushed to the front
in the European war mounted up into
the millions. These figures at the
time astounded the average reader.
And also the enormous cost was count
ed by the millions daily. But now,
while death dealing machinery has
steadily reduced the ranks OF the
armies, the cost has piled higher
and higher until it is now reserred to
in terms of billions instead of millions.
England's chancellor of the eXche-
ouer announced 6. few days ago that
the total expenditures since the begin
ming of the war mas been about 26 bill
lions of dollars. The daily cost of the
war now to England is 28 millions.
While it is probable that England is
shouldering the biggest end of the
financial burden of the war, having to
give aid to Russia, yet the figures
herewith given serve to show also
what heavy drain the war is upon all
nations involved.
Many generations yet unborn will
feel heavily the burden heaped upon
them by the present conflict. 1t will
be felt far beyond the third and fourth
generation. The fact is, England will
probable never entirely liquidate all OF
the S26, 900, 900, 900. with many more
billions yet to be added to the incon-
ceivable sum before the dove of peace
hovers over Europe.

You fathers, we address those who
have been ordering a gallon q month,
are you not willing to forego this
privilege or right, if thereby your
boy is safeguarded? The farther the
temptation is removed from the boys
the less liable they are to become ad,
dicted to the drink habit. Think OF
this, if you are disposed to criticise un-
favorably the law which prohibits
whiskey as beverage.

Beware of Politician Posing as Friend.

Beware of Politician Posing as Friend.
The Advertiser offers our farmer
friends some wholesome counsel some
thing like year before it is actually
needed. However, this gratuitous
advice is not altogether untimely, for
some office seekers are already laying
their plans and may catch the unwary.
Beware of the person seeking Office
who poses as the special friend of the
farmer. Nine times out of ten he is a
sordid, self-seeking sort Of fellow
whose interest in the farmer ceases
when he gets his vote. Always be-
ware of man seeking public Office
who poses as the special friend of any
particular class or interest.
Do not select a man for governor
who is to be the merchants governor
DO not select man Who is to be the
doctors or lawyers governor-Do not
select a man who is the banks or cor
porations' govemor-Do not select a
man who will be solely the laboring
mans governor, and for the same rea-
son do not select man because he
represents himself as the farmers gov
ernor. Already it is stated thata man
is grooming himself for this high Office
who expects to be known as the far
mers' candidate. We say to our far
mer friends that that announcement
alone is sufficient to make every
thoughtful farmer suspicious of him.
The people of South Carolina need
man of breadth and depth-thickness,
too, if you please will be COVER
nor of all the people. Every in
terest in the State and all of the peo-
pie are interdependent, and it is wrong,
as we'll as subversive of Democratic
principles, 10 array class against class.
Such methods bear the hallmark Of
the demagogue, and we say with all
the emphasis we can command let such
candidate for office alone. Leave
him to his folly and his self-defeat.

govern future calls in the draft. For
instance, many registrants on the
present list will have passed their
thirty first birthday by next summer,
and there will be a large number Of
young men reaching the age of 81. A
new registration and a new draft to
determine the liability to service of
men of military age may, for this
reason, be needed every year.
Before the second 100000 is called
out, Secretary Baker said, it will be
necessary to fix new quotas so that al
lowance may be made to States for
recruits joining the regular army and
National Guard between June 80 and
the date set for fixing the new quota
The thousands Of men joining the
regulars and National Guard now to

EXAMINATIONS FOR
EVERYONE IN YEAR
All Registered Men May Take
Physical Test

Washington, July 23.-Every one
OF the 100000 men who registered
for the draft may be called within the
year. TO be examined for military SER
vice This disclosure was made when
1t developed that under the war de-
partment's construction of the selec-
tive CONSUMPTION law the government
is authorized to continue drawing
men from the drafted list to main
tain an army of 100000 at maxi
mum strength.
1t was officially announced by Sec
rotary Baker that only one more in
crement OF 100000 will be called out
under the present law. When this
call will be made, Mr.. Baker would
not say. He said there was no Off
cial foundation for the statement
made by Senator Lewis that the sec
ond 100000 will be called in Octo-
Der.
There will be an army Of 1850, 900
in the field when the first draft is
called out in September. There will
be an additional 5000 in the Sec
ond call, which will make 1850, 900
and 100000 aviators and other sup
Elementary troops will give the ma
ton an army Of 100000.
Staff officials hold it will be neces-
sary to draft a third Of this total
every year to provide for losses and
wastage.
1t may require more men than this.
Assuming that one-third is the vast
age to be cared for the drafting
would take 100000 men a year.
May Have Yearly Draft.
Best estimates of War Department
officials are that it will be necessary
to call from 100000 to 100000
men to provide the $50 for the
first draft and the 500 900 to be draft
ed later. The remaining registrants
now we'll down in the liability list
will then be subject to call for the
first reserve organizations to care for
wastage and loss.

tional legislation may be necessary to
