OLD TIME PATRIOTISM.

. On nearly every ship of our Atlantic
squadron are men who used to be in the
navy and who have gone back to their
old, and usually low, ranks because their
country needs them. They are regular
officers
On one of the ships is Wall street
broker. He graduated from Annapolis
many years ago, resigned and later came
back into the service during the Spanish
American war. He commanded the Hist
in several fights in Cuban waters and
knows how it feels to be under fire.
The Navy Needs You was the sign
that got me back this time," said he.
''When read that sign, knew it meant
me and fixed it right off so could come
back. left the navy at the close of the
Spanish-American war and have been in
the brokerage business in New York ever
since"
On another ship is a little man with
gray hair-a grandfather-whow wears the
uniform of an ensign.

No Substitutes this Year.

Evidently the draft in 1917 is going to
be different from that of the Civil War
days in an important respect There will be
nosending of substitutes. In those days
man, who was drafted and did not want
to go had the privilege of sending substi-
tute. Very few men of wealth actually
served as drafted men. Substitutes cost
them, according to the local supply of
able-bodied men, from $500 to $1,000.
The substitute, actually in the service,
often turned out to be a man who had to
be watched, for his spirit of patriotism
generally did not rank high. But he was
never as bad as the bounty jumper The
bounty jumper was man who enlisted,
got his bounty, entered the service, de-
serted, and then enlisted somewhere else
and got another bounty The eagerness
of certain towns to fill their quota was so
great that they often made no inquiry into
the identity of the men whom they fur
nished and the business of bounty-jump-
ing was regularly organized
AS things look now, we are going to
have an honest draft and an honest en-
forcement of it, which shows that the
country has made progress since 1863

A SURPRISE AND A DISAPPOINT
MENT.

The first section of the law creating the
Tariff Commission carefully stipulates
that mot more than three" members of
the Commission ''shall be members of the
same political party" Four of the six
members of the new Commission are
manifestly Democrats; the two others
seem to be fairly classified as Progress
sives; not one is Republican; only one
has any claim whatever to be regarded as
a Protectionist All six apparently sup
ported President Wilson in the campaign
of 1916. These are facts which perhaps
speak for themselves with sufficient elo-
quence. But American manufacturing
and American business have not one re-
preventative upon this Commission, which
is created ostensibiy to deal with problems
of business. Such body cannot ask seri-
Gus consideration as either non partisan
or bipartisan, 1t is a partisan tribunal in
an extreme form-it does not contain a
single qualified adherent of the policy that
has prevailed in the financial and econo-
mic affairs of our Federal government
throughout almost it's entire existence.
1t is only repeating what has been said
many times in Congress and the press,
that lack upon this board of even one
member with broad experience and thor
ough practical knowledge of the national
industries is a surprise and disappont-
ment to the country.-Bulletin of the
National Association of Wool Manufact-
urerS.

WAR A RELIGIOUS AND PATRIOTIC
DUTY,

eve cannot avoid our place and part in
the conflict and are in honor bound to re-
sist the aggressive autocracy that tears
up treaties as mere scraps of paper; that
tramples on the weak, casts the helpless
into bondage and inflicts upon innocent
neighbors the fearful miseries of wanton
invasion and devastation. Let us not
hesitate to affirm that this is our religious
as well as our patriotic duty.
'fChristianity is not altogether religion
of gentle submission. It is more that all
else religion of duty, and duty calls us
not merely to patience and long suffering,
but also to conflict to the redress of wrong
and to the substantiation of justice.
american citizenship is an ancient
and formative passion for freedom, love
of fair play and tolerance which keeps
the realm of opinion as free as the realm
of action. These are the principles that,
realized politically, make democracy.
Realized religiously, they make church
of the free spirit
Military success is not merely mat
ter of great guns and big battalions, but
moral power Commit this war to the
conscience of the nation and we can be
assured, not of it's speedy end, but OF ulti-
mate victory for the principles that sway
the destinies of nations.

No New Regulations About Children En-,
tering Maine.

1t is stated by the secretary of the State
Board of Health that very frequently in
quiries have been coming from prospective
visitors to Maine whether there is some
some new or whether rules and regulations
are to be made restricting the bringing of
children into the State this season, or in
some way limiting the movement and the
convenience and pleasure of such visitors.
The answers to these inquiries have been
very emphatically to the effect that there
is no foundation whatever for such rumor;
that there is nothing in any new legisla-
ton enactment or in the regulations of
the State Board of Health which indicate
that there is to be a more rigid control of
children entering the State; and that if
any change whatever is made in this State
or in other states, it will be likely to be in
the direction of the mitigation of the
severity of some Of the outside rules and
regulations which made unnecessary
trouble for summer visitors last season.

OUR FLAG ON THE SEA ONCE MORE.

With over 1000, 900 tons of steel shins
building or contracted for in United States

Government contracting for 3, 900, 900 tons
OF wooden vessels with which to break

foremost shipbuilding country in the

In this connection it is also of interest
to note that steel steamers building in
Pacific Coast yards, according to the lat
est available statistics, number about 81,
each OF over 8, 900 tons, and wooden YES
sells, rs of an average of $500 tons each.
The total value of all is estimated at about
500, 600, 900. This condition is really
nothing short of phenomenal when you
come to consider that eighteen months
ago the shipyards on that coast that were
engaged in turning out new tonnage could
be practically counted on the fingers of
one hand, and for the most part the few
existing plants were utilized for handling
ordinary ship repair Jobs. Shpyards have
sprung up as if by magic, and practically
all of those at Portland, Ore, and on the
Columbia River have been established
during the past II months. But powerful
as this industry has become, it, is predic-
ted it is only in its infancy, and that the
near future will see even greater expan-

WHO WILL SING THE SONG OF
CORN?
From "Girard's Topics of the Town" in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.]

From "Grard's Topics of the Town" in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.l
''No nation can starve," writes Secre-
tary of Agriculture Houston, (which
raises in a year three billion bushels Of
corn"
Not only not starve, but it can live
without wheat, live well and grow fat
Who says eating corn is hardship
Corn comes to your table in twenty
different unif )rmS and every one of them
a perfect fit.
American corn is the biggest and best
crop of any kind grown in any country
of the world.
Search the earth around and you will
find no other product of the field SO beau
tlful as corn in midsummer, standing in
long, straight rows like soldiers, with
green banners streaming In autumn
these rows turn to myriads of tents,
which fill with their yellow ears ten
thousand thousand cribs with food too
good for any king.
Corn alone saved John Smiths colony
at jamestown, and so gave our continent
its first English settlement
Corn kept from starvation the Pilgrims
In Massachusetts and led very properly
to the tirst THANKSGIVING Day.
The American Indian placed the white
races under an unpayable debt when he
introduced our ancestors to corn.
Whether you eat roasting ears" or
hot corn mullins, golden cakes Just off
the griddle or warm, thick bread, you
cannot go wrong.
And our farmers this year will raise
about thirty bushels of this heayen-bOrn
food for every mothers son of U.s.
| tell you, if Homer had not died a
couple of thousand years ago he would
write US finer epic on corn than he did

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrvel Up
Corns or Caliouses so They Lift
off With Fingers

Ouch ? ?! This kind of rough talk
will be heard less here in town if people
troubled with corns will follow tha simple ad-
vice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims
that few dr., ps of drug called freezone
when applied to tender, aching corn or hard
ened callous stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callous dries up and lifts right off
without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately and
never itf1ames even irritates the surround
ing kin. A small bottle of freezune will cost
very little at any drug store. but will positive
ly remove every hard OR soft corn and callous
from ones feet Millions of American women
will welcome this ourcement since the in
auguration of the high heels If your druggist
doesn't hav. freezone tell him to order small
bottle for you.

We Must be Calm.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph

Secretary Houston hits the nail fine
wallop right on the head in saying there is
no need for people to get hysterical over
the food situation. Even though the
food purchasing power of the dollar has
dropped to thirty-three cents or less; even
though sixty-six cents or more of that
same dollar is finding it's way into the
pocket of the voracious food shark, we
should be quite calm. We should be
more than calm; we should be enthusi-
astic in jumping up, cracking our heels
together, and shouting our joyousness
over being so beautifully fleeced.

Buddhism as undsrstudx.

A Buddhist priest once said to mis-
sionary, 1--WE have no love in our re-
hgion. Christianity has. You will
therefore succeed"
And all this is the stranger because
the Buddhists heretofore have taught
that young children and women have
no souls, and they have consequently
been neglected. Now they are quoting
from authors who speak of Meth
odism's work in Europe, beginning
among the children.
The imitation of Christian methods
is great, though an undersigned, com
pliment to the work of the missionary
and the native church. An interesting
fact is that the Buddhist sect which
is most active in this imitation has,
as one of its teachings, belief in the
coming of redeemer who is to save
from sin.-The Christian Herald.
