Missouri "ShowS" Champ.

Champ Clark has been sorely dislusioned if
he fancied that in opposing the Administration
war army bill he was representing the real senti-
ment of Missouri. The press of that State, with
the exception here and there of ill-disguised
voice of pro-Prussianism, is almost unit In de-
ploring Mr.. Clark's unreasonable and un-Missouri-
like attitude on question Of supreme Importance
to the nations well-being. The st. Louis Demo-
crat tells him that however sincere he and his fol-
lowers may have been, they we're opposing 1.-The
wishes of their countrymen the best military minds
of army and of all armies, and the true inter-
ests of the nation" The Post-Dispatch declared:
1--WE assure Speaker Clark and his fellow
opponents of the selective draft that if their
foolish action causes failure Of the Govern
ments war plans and brings humiliation and
disaster upon the nation the majority con-
demning them will multiply many times the
majority for CONSUMPTION"
The Republic likewise maintained that Mr.. Clark
did not represent the people of Missouri when
he urged the volunteer system a competent
means of meeting the emergency"
The Star &admonished the Speaker and Senator
Reed that if they could hear the leading men of
Missouri they would quickly get rid of the notion
that opposing the Administration in this matter
they are doing what their constituents want them
to do" Further,
only those who do not yet understand
what selective CONSUMPTION is and how nation
must be organized for in all it's elements,
as we'll as in armies, still support the voun-
teer system, and these decreasing in
bers rapidly Aroused intelligence is bring
ing realization of both the error and the dan
ger of the volunteer system. OUR REPRE-
SENTATIVES OUGHT SURELY TO KEEP
ABREAST OF THE INTELLIGENCE OF
THE DAY"
That last line is particularly forceful and true.
The least that be demanded of men entrusted
with the high responsibilities of Congress is that
they keep abreast of the average intelligence of
the day But the attitude of those who voted
against the Administration bill showed distinctly
that far from being abreast of the average intei-
gence this issue they strangely obtuse
to the plainest principles of the selective draft
and the plainest necessities of the heroic mission
upon which America has embarked. The towering
majority by which the bill finally passed both the
House and the Senate is striking tribute to the
power of enlightened and patriotic public opinion
On the final vote, only twenty-four members of the
House and only eight Senators were recorded
against the measure

The OperShndOWing Menace.

Though Germany has failed in her original sub
marine plan Of reducing England TO famine within
three months, it is nevertheless deeply dsquietng
fact that the Allies losing merchant ships faster
than they build them. This. for the time being
is the overshadowing problem OF the war. Before
there can be full reinsurance concerning the U-boat
menace, Allied tonnage must reach a point where
it is increasing more rapidly than it can be
destroyed.
To the United States falls the major part Of
this task, and our plans for meeting it are swiftly
taking shape. The German vessels lying in our
ports constitute in. the aggregate almost as much
tonnage as Berlin claims the submarines have sunk
during the last three months These ships will be
pressed into Allied service rapidly as they can
be repaired. Further. the Government is speed
ing the construction of fleet Of one thousand
wooden transports to carry munitions and food to
England and France; and. an additional two thou
sand will be built If the is still going on at
The end of another year.
At the same time constructive resources
are bent to the task OF increasing Allied tonnage
our navy and inventors are specializing upon
means for destroying German submarines. The
submarine chaser mas proved effective within its
rather limited range; and gunners aboard the mer-
chant ships will hit a good many periscopes. But
there is hope that beyond these known methods
American ingenuity will work ont some device or
process whereby the, U-boat menace will be min
imized if not entirely overcome. Such an inven-
tion seems by no means impossible to the country
that produced Thomas Edison and the age that
knows the vtzardry OF wireless.

The Honor of Being Chosen
For the COuntrv'S Service

no higher honor can come to a young Ameri-
can than to be selected for service with his CONN
trys colors in the heroic days that are dawning
upon us. The so-called draft measure will dis
unguish and, in very vital sense ennoble every
man whom it draws into the army's ranks Some
opponents or this legislation have ATTEMPTED to
Identify it with that unsavory kind of conservation
which is used solely to whip slackers to dutv Rut
they have deceived one who has made an inteIIi
gent falr-minded inquiry into the principles and
purposes Of the bill
The radical difference between conservation that
is designed to coerce the unpatriotic and selection
that is designed to choose those best qualified and
best circumstanced for national defense was shown
conclusively by Congressman William ScbIev
Howard of the Fifth Georgia district in his weI1
reasoned argument in support Of the Administra
ton measure. Said Mr.. Howard after anaIvzinq
the conscript system applied during the war he
tween the States:
selsctive draft is the exact antithe.is OF CON
scription 1t assumes all to be brave and
patriotic 1t recognizes the principle of equal obt
cation resting upon all citizens to defend their
country's honor in time of 1t eliminates the
possibility of leaving the odum upon a portion or

ing upon all citizens sustain the government

mum efficiency. 1t gathers the army speedy

manner proftins by the experience of every nation
earth that efficiency along the battle line can
be maintained without complete organization
and maximum of efficiency behind the battle
line
Those who thus selected for the ranks OF
the highest and most heroic field of national serv-
ice will be peculiarly fortunate and honored They
will be comrades in spirit II not in actual conflict
with the valorous men who selected to de-
fend France and Belgium, and the liberties of
mankind.
The people OF the Fifth district are deeply
gratifed at Congressman Towards able and con-
vncing stand for the Administration army bill; and
the people of Georgia gratfied that in the
final vote on the measure their delegation at
Washington was almost unit in support of the
President.

Many make the mistake of never thinking really
hard. Others make the mistake of never giving
themselves real rest.
They take their business problems to bed with
them. Even when they leave home or what they
call vacations their minds still linger their
business cares.
In both cases the result in inability to- develop
any great mental power
The non-thinkers cannot reasonably expect TO
their minds to advantage when any unusual
demand is made them. In similar situation,
the overfatigued thinkers suffer from "obscurity
of mental vision they try to think.

that all might proftably adopt

that will vastly increase the intellectual strength
of those hitherto thinking too little or 90 much.

it. Danish all distracting thoughts. When you
feel the need of rest, Danish likewise from your
mind the problem on which you have been con-
centrating.
Then, wnen you tackle it again, you will be
fresh for your renewal of labor. In time you will
find, not merely that concentration of thought
has become easier for you, but that you think
ing to better purpose.
