ELkS STAND FOR
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE

There are 100000 Elks in this coun-
try said Mr.. Fulton, and every on,
is Il citizen OF America. Not only have
they done their part In the civil life of
the United States, but in this hour Of
trial. both within and without the ma
ton. when It's institutions and the very
ideals upon which their great country
is founded are endangered. There is
no enduring civilization that is not
founded on justice and fidelity.
The speaker traced. from the begin
ming of man. the development Of brute
force Man ruled the earth because
of his brute force and intelligence. he
said. and "a the race increased he be-
came ruler of tribe, then country
on down through history. Might made
right. he declared. and attributed to
the exercise of this power the develop
ment of monarchies and despotism. Out
of the comforting upon monarchs the
divine right to rule, free-handcd and
untrammeled, grew the world war. he
said
The principles which are inculcated
by the Elks." he said. 'if adhered to
by its members and members OF So

brute power Of force. We must stop
and think and realize that we are only
giving to the world and civilization

Plenty Of Democratic Dissension.

The aftermath Of the voting in Con-
gross on the CONSUMPTION bill is chiefly
made up Of Democratic dissension.
Champ Clark and Ambassador Gerard
led off with an interchange Of choice
recrimination. the New York World
brought in 6 blanket indictment of
Democrats 0hiio failed the President in
his effort TO create an army, and from
Washington comes the story of null
tiplied personal rows among Demo-
Gratis in Congress who split on The is
sue. We leave them to settle their
own quarrels. All we desire is the
opportunity to remind the country
from time to time between now and
November 1918, that these Democrats
and others will be appearing before
the voters asking for election or reel
ection.

Citizens of German Descent Loyal.

Senator LaFollette's proposal to ex'
empt from CONSUMPTION those of oul
population who are of Teutonic birth
or extraction was made, we think
without adequate knowledge Of the
real feelings of these people. Some
Of them favor the Fatherland, of that
there is no question; but the great ma
joity of them are better Americans
than the LaFollette proposal would
make them out, and they do not want
To he exempted. They came here to
take their chances in this new world.
II one Of these chances is to be draft
ed to fight the new worlds battle,
even against the old world Of their orr
gin, they will accept the chance and do
their Bit The Wisconsin Senator
doubtless thought he was acting for
the benefit Of his Teutonic constitu-
cns. In reality he was not rejecting
their majority opinion, nor that Of
the majority Of the German-born peo-
pie who live in the United States.

There is = good deal Of apparcn,
confusion In many minds between
universal training and universal ser.
vice. II we had universal training
we would have universal service Of
course. But the question which has
been agitating Congress and over
which the President and his party
split was that Of universal service In
a limited sense--for selcctive conscrip-
ton is merely recognition Of the
principle of universal liability TO ser
vice, and not a direct application Of it.
Universal training has not yet been
debated, though il is contained in the
measures now before Congress. This
means the accustoming Of every boy
TO the use Of firearms, to the military
manual, to camp duty, to manoeuver-
ing, TO all that goes TO make up the
life Of soldier. This means that
when another call comes for men
there will be no wasting of months in
training the men who will be ready to
under the call Of universal
service which has been made ready by
universal training.

buttons imported from the United

from Japan go in under the Canadian
intermediate tariff at 37A per cent,

Hurt Both Government and Farmer

Hurt Both Government and Farmer
On May s the Department Of Agri.
culture will hold hearing on the
question Of proposed quarantine a.
gainst imported citrous fruit as q
measure of protection against the fur
Their introduction and spread Of can
ker. Certainly the governmentshould
take every practicable precaution to
prevent the introduction Of diseases
that endanger our fruit industries.
II should not be overlooked in this
connection, however, that when the
present administration cut the import
duty on certain citrous fruits, it invit-
ed importations and increased the dan
ger of injury to American fruit trees.
1t will be remembered that Italian le-
mon interests spent $4,000 lobbying
for reduction of the import duty, and
their insidious efforts we're successful.
The American producer gets hurt two
ways-his own market is curtailed by
the imports, and his orchard is sub
jected to danger Of infection. The
American government is hurt in two
ways-more money is sent abroad
for products, though less revenue is
paid to the treasury, and the govern
ment must spend more money toguard
against introduction Of citrous canker.
Looking at this matter from every
America got the worst of
the deal in the tariff revision. The
farmer gets less for his product but
must spend more money to keep his
orchard free from pests. The gov
eminent gets less revenue but must
spend more for quarantine service.

But Judge o1 Probate Court Refuses
 to Allow Settlement.
 New Haven. May 2S.-Is the life of . seventsen-yeGr-old girl worth no moro than $A76f Judge 0ilson of the probate court has decided that 1t is and that that amount does not compensate the parents for the loss of their daughters life and services. He. therefore. yesterday in tho pro- bate court refused to accept set clement made by the Fidelity and Casualty company with Josephine Sonino. administratrix of the-estate of Louisa Maninchino. seventeen years old, who was killed on Whalley ave- nue on October 20 by the automobile containing former Police Commis- sioner James A. Murray. James A. Murray. IT,. and James E. McGann.
 Attorney David E. Mccoy for the administratrix told the court yester- day that the mother would compro- mise tho claim against the automobile owners for that amount, and the own CTS agreed to the compromise. Judge Gilson thought the amount was too little to settle for. in view of the fact that 1t had not been shown that the girl was negligent.
