MARGIE ATTENDS THE CONVENTION

Little book, Is 1t impossible for a
man to be honest with a woman? Dick
has known all along that this meeting
was to be held in Chicago. He ex-
pected to stop of here, and I am not
sure that he did not expect to meet
Jim here and merely because he knew
that I would want the business ex-
planned to me if he told me this. he
simply put the matter off thinking he
could blum me through.
I wonder if Dick and I are going
to have differences over business
Sometimes I wish Mrs. Selwyn had
left the money to Dick and then 1
would feel that 1 had no right to
interfere.
I expect, little book. If anyone should
read what 1 have written here. he
would say, eff that is the case. why
do you interfere now"
Simply because 1t is now my stock
and my business to look, after it, Just
as Dick would feel that he must look
after his own and not entrust IT to
me. 1t is my job just as it is his.
I hear Jim going I'm the other room
so I'll just turn out my light and
go to bed and act as though were
asleep for fear that Dick will try to
open up controversy again.
Yesterday when I awoke, / found
that Dick had already gone out.
dressed leisurely and went down to
breakfast. 1 had hardly finished when
Jim called me on the telephone and
said that If 1 wanted to attend the
meeting of the school book publish
ers I must hurry over to the Congress
Hotel.
You will find us in the Gold Room, -
he said.
Where is Dick?" I asked.
"He has gone up to the Gold Room. /"
he answered rather apologetically.
"AIl right, I'll be right over," I
answered as I hung up the phone.
1 knew, little book. that Master
Dick was in one of his grouchy
spells that 1 used to dread so much.

While It Is necessary for many Of our
young men to 60 and fight in defense Of
the liberties and freedom of this nation
it is not as yet necessary that all shall
60 to war. At any time it will always
be necessary that some remain at home
to supply the needs Of those on thd
battlefront.
Now the country asks every young
man to say that he recognizes his duty
and that he will either 90 to the front OF
remain at home as the case may be, but
that he is willing to fight or work as his
lot may fall to him.
Tnat is what the registration next
Tuesday means. Nothing more nor less.
Not all the victories are won ON the
battlefield itself. An army without
home support will fail very quickly.
The boys who remain have battles to
fight as we'll as those who 60.
Tuesday will be new Grand Army
march to the polling booths all over
this broad land and millions of boys
will answer to the muster roll present. !.
1t will be in many ways ths grandest
sight this nation ever saw. The strength
and vigor of Americas young manhood
marching in solid body for the defense
of the home land. Nocountry ever saw
the like before. In numbers, in vigor,
IN manhood. in patriotic sentiment, it
will excel anything in history.
And several million more, who are Just
a year or two too young, or few years
TOO old under the requirements of the
Presidents proclamation, will stand by
and wish that they too could thus ex-
press their willingness to register in this
new great Grand Army.
The man who registers next Tuesday
by that act has announced his patriotism.
He has said he loves his country and ia
willing to fight for it if needs be. When
a man has done that he has done his full
duty. The estremains with the auth
orites and chance. Whether he Is after
ward called to 60 or stay, he las done
all that duty calls. He has said Here
am 1, il need be, send me.''

GENERAL MUSTER.

A hundred years ago every young man
was compelled by law to attend general
muster once year We do not know
much about the details and only know
OF the fact because of hearing the old
men tell about if in our youth. We
only refer to the fact as illustrating the
truth that all able:bodied men are
by birth liabls to military duty. It is
one Of the inalienable rights guanateed
under the constitution, though we. don't
generally think Of that side Of the "liber.
ty" question. y
Liberty implies equality. Liberty
mean that one may do and should do
just what others may and should do
ANY thing else would be inequality
Liberty is for the whole rather than for
the individual. Liberty implies obliga.
tions to- others Just as it implies obliga-
tons from others to the individual. All
law is slntended as rules Of conduct that
no man shall interfere with liberty or
rights OF his neighbors and vice versa
that they shall not interfere with him.
While conscription might on it's face
appear as an arbitrary act Of the maior.-
ity against the liberty Of the individual
it is in fact the opposite. There is moth.
ing more certain that the able. bodied
man, should Of right take srms In de-
Tense 81 his home and country. In this
country ws believe in war only as ! weap-
on lin defense of the liberties Of this
land. We do not g to war for conquest
OF hatred O. . hold up tho institutions
Of monarchy aristocracy. Just now, our
complaint against tho Gsrmanic allies 4

or may NOT DO their duty. Inc
fact that prohibition sentiment is al
matter of continued education is thus
Maine went ''dry" in 1861,
a few states followed soon but went wet
again after q year or two. Not until
1913 did the next state Kansas 20 ''dry"
Since then many states have gone pro.
hibition in q greater or less degree, only
two or three states now tolerate saloons
in all parts Of their territory. Since
Maine began. two generations Of boys
and girls have grown up and are now
doing the voting. Temperance educa.
universal.
The only argument left the liquor
men now as shown by the review of the
Digest Is that prohibitory laws cannot
be enforced. Most of those who answer
the Digest are rather doubtful as to ultl-
mate strict prohibition, but at the same
time they practical all declare that pro.
hibitlon has prohibited to large extent
in their respective states and that they
believe that the Webb. Kenyon law
which makes interstate traffic into
''dry" states illegal will do much to stop
individual supplies ordered by express
from "wet" states.
Apother matter in this connection
which is not touched by the answers to
the Digest is that prohibition is rapidly
impressing itself as public sentiment
as war measure. The high cost of
living a shortage in the world crops of
cereals, the results of drinking to men in
the army both medically, and morally,
are all impressive arguments for the
choosing of distilleries and breweries
which use vast quantities of grain which
would far better be made into food
rather than drink.
But to sum up, there remains to the
liquor traffic now only one argument
"You can't prohibit,''
We SO far after about ten years of pro.
hibition law enforcement under state
statues, we believe and the Digest re
view proves that prohibition does pro,
hibit to large extent Personally,
we believe that to-day there are thous.
ands of comparatively happy homes that
would be hells if it were not for pro.
hibltion law. We believe there are sew.
eral million boys and girls who hardly
know the taste of liquor growing up in
this country and VINO will become men
and who will have but little temptation
to drink end whose education will make
them hate and fear the stuff.
We believe that where twenty years
ago, the average businefs man and his
employees drank habituIly. not perhaps to
intoxication but mostly social custom,
now drink but rarely if at all. In most
"dry" states liquor drinking as social
custom has totally disappeared because
the saloon has disappeared and decent
men will not patronize blind pig.
With these things in view, with the
ebb-kenyon law going in effect, we
believe that in very few years that the
prohibition law will be on the statute
books of every state in the union and
that it will be better enforced than any
other laws. 1t will be better enforced
because the public will not want liquor.
The demand will die out. 1t takes but
short time to prove to the public that
they are better off without it. When
there Is no demand there will be no sup
ply.
