O(ItC n NEAL tAI4lAA&OAA-
1t is unfortunate that Just whei
we should have a perfect unanimi
lty of sentiment in this country Of
the question of prosecuting tn
war, certain misguided person
should persist in reasonable re
sistanee TO the seleetive draft
Even some leaders, who, of al

country, have advised their hear
ers to resist the law.
1t is hard to believe these PEG
pie are deliberately dislOyal. We
would much prefer to believe that
they sin through ignorance. One
must be low indeed in the scale
of creation when he can deliber-
ately betray his country and his
people.
Even that beatifie designation
of our country as the land Of the
free" has grown to mean, in many
ignorant minds, something entire
" different from its meaning to
the person who sees life as it is.
The man Of normal intelligence
sees freedom as purely relative.
He knows there can be no abso-
lutte freedom. As long as there
remain two human beings on this
earth, neither can possibly be en-
tirely free. The welfare of either
must of necessity eireumscribe the
freedom of the other.
1t is just this fundamental fact
however, that many ignorant
minds fail to grasp. To them free
dom has no other meaning save
license. Once assured that they
are free men, any force that inter
feres with their conception Of free.
dom is to them tyranny and not to
be tolerated.
1t is high time we revised the
popular conception of freedom. II
is time the basic truth were stress
ed that there can be no freedom
without absolute obedience to law.
Disregard of law tends toward an
archy, and anarchy is the very
antithesis of freedom.
Again, many minds fail to ap-
preeiate the fact that without the
law and its fostering care there
could be no such thing as freedom.
even safety. And without stable
government there can be no effee-
tive law. Law, reduced to its es-
senee, is but the crystalized viii of |

lection of life and property de-
pend entirely on the win Of the

WILL WE HI1NGERa

The person who can see moth
ing but government red tape anC
business In the food control mea
sures can see very little below tn,
surface IN the present day situa
ton. The food control measure:
we're not put in operation because
this government had any relish foi
interfering with the private lives
of its citizens. The fewer mea-
sures Of this sort needed the better
pleased would be those In author
ity.
That the President insisted on,
and the congress granted food
control legislation, is the most con-
elusive of evidence that the situa-
ton urgently called for such mea-
sures.
Probably never before IN history
has the world faced the situation
it now faces. We speak glibly of
our crops in billions of bushels,
forgetting that the demand also
is couched IN billions. We look at
out bursting graineries and over
flowing barns, forgetting that
across the water are millions of
the worlds manhood engaged en-
tirely in consuming and destroy
ing.
To be specific, there would have
been no price set on wheat had
not the government foreseen that
long before a new crop could be
harvested the scarcity Of that GER
cal would send the price out Of
reach Of all but the affluent.
But enacting food control laws
and appointed executors is not,
of itself, going to safeguard the
country. There is another factor
to the situation, and the principal
one-the people. In a general
way the food controllers can con-
troll the prices, but they can in no
sense control consumption. This
is entirely up to the people them
selves. If a spirit Of strict econo-
my and conservation does not pre-
vail throughout the land, the eff
forts Of government win be neu-
tralized.
1t may seem like thrashing over
old straw to continually refer to
the urgent necessity of economy
in consumption Of food. But the
situation calls for iteration and re-
iteration. Reforms come slowly.
Not by once telling, or twice, or
three times, do we learn the les
sons Of life, but by continued ham,
mering of the same truth into our
consciousness are we at last
brought to see it clearly. This is
our condition in the present emer-
gency. Our past indulgence, coupl- |
I'd with the fact that our supply |
always has been sufficient has
ulled us into a false repose.
But the people Of this country /
Ilways learn the lesson when it is
lnt squarcly up to them Last
pring they were assured that to
reserve the prosperity Of the
d record crop of every
ling must be produced. To this

BROWNS 1916 PROFIT IS EQUAL TO fef7 LOSS

The St. Louis Americans during the season of 1916 made a profit of about $25,0O0. The loss of the club during the present season is ex- pected to equal that figure, making an even break" on the two years.
 Phil Ball, chief owner of the club, whose ambition has been to give St. Louis winning team, has spent about $G00000 in baseball since he first invested in the St. Louis F'ederals. This sum, Of course, includes his losses.
 He said he will stay in the game, however, and already he has spent $27,000 for new players for next year. Among the new players whom the St Louis club has obtained are Kenneth William, Pacific coast star; Earl Smith, star hitter of the West ern League, and Grover Lowdermilk, one of the best pitchers of the American Association.

next year. But fandom may see Fly at third base in 1918 instead of the outfield, where he has ca vorted for many season. Fly has been holding down third base so ca- pably during the last part of the season and has done so much bet ter, especially with the bat, than O'Rourke. that he will probably get the all-important assignment next season.
 ORourke is an earnest athlete. He is not bad fielder. But when it comes to batting. he is weak in- decd. and that is the reason why Meyers will probable replace him next season. O'Rourke has had prolonged trial at the near corner. He has not played the bag for near ly two months. But not yet has he begun to show signs of mastering the hitting of curve pitching. He is almost as helpless as Jim Thorpe before g go0d curve pitcher.

Reward of Patience" at Dream Pleases Many.

'"rhe Reward of Patience" which opened at the Dream theatre yester- day ard which vii be continued to- night and tomorrow night pleased sev- eral good houses and is indeed a pretty little production. Some of the scenic effects are in a class by themselves and all the picture comes up to the high standard set by the Paramount pro- dctions.
 There Is nothing more charming nor more inspiring than the higher love of a young girl for man-the kind of de- yotion that makes her love him., silent ly and with never thought of her af- lection being returned. while the fool ish needless man pursues another wo- man not worthy of this thoughts. This is the role of Friend Patience in "'rhe Reward of Patience" in which dainty Louise Huff has so delightfully."- caught the spirit of the little Quaker girl. Pa tience has never been outside of Amity Center, her little home community, un- til the death of her father compels her to seek employment. She has been fas- cinated by Robert Penfeld, a New York engineer who has been in charge of some construction work at Amity Gen. ter. Moved by pity of the girl, Pen field has his mother employ her as a social secretary. Her gratitude ripen- ing into love. Patience is terribly shocked when she finds that Penfield is engaged to society girl whom she in1 stinctively distrusts The Justification of Patience's estimates of the other girl, the revelation of his great mistake to Penfield and the beautiful. self-sac- rifice of Patience makes this one of the most appealing of Famous Players productions on the Paramount Pro- gram.

The battle scenes are magnificent and faithfully reproduce the scenes enacted in 1429 when the valiant Maid of Orleans" led the fighting knights of France against the strongholds of the English outside the city walls of that city and signally defeated them. The fighting at that time lasted for days and the picture shows the attack on the walled castle. the. fight in the moat and on the walls when hundreds of men were pushed from the walls in- to the moat below.
