FOR MEMORIAL SERVICE
TOLATE JUDGE BRASHEARS
Bench And Bar To Pay Honor To De-
ceased Jurist Here On
FRIDAY.

The Bench OF the Fifth Judicial
Circuit of Maryland. and the bar OF
Anne Arundel County viii. on Friday
OF this week. pay fitting honor to the
memory OF the late Judge James r..
Brashears, of this city, an Associate
Judge of the Circuit. who died about
two months ago.
Arrangements for the memorial
service were made this morning fol-
lowing the completion Of the usual
proceedings incident TO the opening
Gay OF Court Mr.. James w. Owens,
the oldest member at the local bar,
10th in years and point OF service as
an attorney, arose and addressing the
Court. moved that the memorial serv-
ice be held on Friday. IN the mean
time, appropriate resolutions on the
death of Judge Brashears will be
drafted Acting upon the motion,
Judge Robert Moss appointed a COM
mittee of five lawyers to arrange for
the service. Named on this commit
tee are Col" Owens, Mr.. James M.
Munroe. Mr. Frank H. Stockett, Mr..
Ridgely r. Melvin and Mr.. Eugene p.
Childs. The services will be held be-
fore the full Bench of jurists, consist
ing of Chief Judge William H.
Thomas, Judge William II. Forsythe,
Jr, and Judge Moss
After arranging for the memorial,
the Court adjourned for the day as a
further mark of respect to Judge
Rrashears.
incidentally, the fact that Judge
Moss was appointed to the Bench
since many of the cases in which he
was engaged as attorney were dock
eted, caused the new Judge to move
for his disqualification under the cir
cumstances. Judge Moss was either
sole or associate counsel in a total
of 80 cases. In a number of cases
in which he was associate counsel, it
will cause the Court TO name some
one in his stead.
Memorial services to Judge Bra
shears were held in the Howard Coun-
ty Circuit Court at Ellicott City a few
days ago

Presidents Liberty Lean
Proclamation Calling On
The Nation For Subscrip-
tionS.
BY the President of the
United States of
America
A PROCLAMATION.

The second Liberty Loan
gives the people of the
United States an opportunity
TO lend their funds TO their
government TO sustain their
country at war. The might
of the United States is be-
ing modified and organized
to strike mortal blow at
autocracy in defense of out
ragged American rights and
of the cause of liberty. Bill
lions of dollars are required
to arm, feed, and clothe the
brave men who are going
forth TO fight our country's
battles and to assist the ma
tions with whom we are
making common cause
against a common foe. To
subscribe to the Liberty
Loan is to perform a service
of patriotism.
Now. Therefore, |, Wood
row Wilson. President of the
United States of America. do
appoint Wednesday, the oath
dav of October, as Liberty
Day, and urge and advise the
people to assemble in their
respective communities and
pledge to one another and to
the government that repre-
sents them the fullest meas
ure of financial support. On
afternoon of that day | re-
quest that patriotic meetings
be held in every city, town,
and hamlet throughoutout
the land, under the general
direction of the Secretary OF
the Treasury and the imme-
date direction of the Liberty
Loan Committees W h &c n
have been organized by the
Federal Reserve Banks.
The people responded no
bly, to the call of the first
Liberty Loan with an over
subscription of more than
so per cent. Let the re-
Spouse to the second loan be
even greater, and let the
amount be so large that il
will serve as an assurance
of unequaled support to
hearten the men who are to
face the fire of battle for us.
Let the result be so impress
sive and emphatic that it
will echo throughout the en-
pire of our enemy as an in
dex of what America intends
to do to bring this war TO a
victorious conclusion.
For the purpose of par
ticipating in Liberty Day
celebrations all employees
Of the Federal Government
throughout the country
whose services can be spar
ed may be excused at u
o'clock Wednesday, the oath
of October.
In Witness Whereof, |
have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed
Done in the District OF
Columbia this 18th day of
October, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand nine

Let America Stand Forth! !
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Is there man In the United States
(the country OF freedom as It is sometimes
called, who can remain callous and inactive
after reading the hesrtrending appeal for
help to the workingmen Of America from the
Belgisns who are being deported as slaves
into Germany? This is not the first cry
that has gone forth from them to this coun-
try, not merely for sympathy, but for deeds.
The question naturally arises, in what way
can they be helped, and what will be the best
way TO 20 about il. for such bsrbaric cruelty
has got to be stopped in some way. The
best, to my thinking, is for all the neutral
nations to refuse to have any connections
with Germany unless she puts an immediate
stop TO these deportations. Surely amongst
all these neutrals there must be at least one
which puts justice and right before mere
money masking.
Could any country possess any better and
higher ambition than to go down to posterity
as the nation which took the lead in saving a
brave people from slavery? Let America
stand forth and be that nation. IF

"He Who Would Save His Life"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter on the editorial page OF
to-day's Tribune entitled "The Sordid Side
Of Pacifsm" rings true, and is inspiring.
It eFectuslly strips the (perhaps uncon-
scious) hypocritical guise from pacifsm.
/ quote the following from its many tell
ing phrases: America, if it has stood for
anything. has stood for great ideals. Our
principles have been literally more dear to
us than our lives. This is Christian and
fine" Is not this the very essence Of Chris
tianity? What else drove Jesus Christ 70
the cross? The ideals Of truth, justice and
righteousness, which He inherited from the
Father He was willing to die for rather
than yield and deny them. The world was
and still is sadly in need Of a vital sense
Of the value of those ideals
u was, and if We are TO judge By paclfst
teachings is still, dead TO a knowledge Of
their abiding power His death on the cross
emphasized their value and gave life and
immortality to those ideals. And in very
large sense is not this the vicarious atone
ment the creeds tell US He came to make
Truly, "he who would save his life shall
lose it. and he who would lose his life for
Ny sake Cor the ideals | died for) shall
find IT," Yes, all Of life that has real and
abiding value. II. p.

Giving Prohibition a Fair Chance

There can be no question OF the desira'
bihty Of the Supreme Courts decision
upholding the Webb-Kenyon law. 1t effec-
lively closes one of the largest loopholes in
state prohibition and gives the advocates
Of such legislation a chance to test their
reforms fairly and fully.
Prior to the passage of this act by Con
gress a dry state faced an almost insuper-
able obstacle in the ease with which ex-
press companies could deliver within its
borders liquor shipped from another state
Such traffic was protected against inter
ference by the control over interstate COM
merce reposed in Congress by the Con-
stitution. Thus, the state, which clearly
had the constitutional authority to regu-
late the liquor traffic within its borders
stood powerless to regulate the principal
sources upon which such local traffic was
based. A worse contradiction Of authority
it would be difficult to conceive.
The Webb-Kenyon law, passed in 1913
over Mr.. Tafts veto, sought to end this
confusion. 1t prohibited the interstate
shipment Of liquor when INTENDED by any
person interested therein to be received
possessed, sold or in any manner used,
either in the original package or other
wise, in violation Of any law" of the state,
TERRITORY or district of delivery. The argu-
ment was raised that this effected an un-
constitutional delegation of Federal power
to the states, and West Virginia statute
passed to take advantage Of the act, was
presently brought before the courts.
Chief Justice White and a large ma
iority of the Supreme Court have now
rejected this defence IN toto. eve car
have no doubt that Congress has complete
authority" Justice White declares, "to
prevent paralyzing Of state authority
The act Of Congress is viewed not as dele
eating any new power over interstate
commerce to the states, but as aiding and
supporting the undoubted police power
always retained by them There may be
more common sense in this view than legal
theory; but its practical logic is unanswer'
able. A preposterous conflict Of authority
in our Federal system has been ended
clearly and fairly.
The country can now observe the work
Iings of prohibition in full sway. West
Virginia, for example, is vested with every
power that the nation would have under
a Federal amendment to the Constitution
The last and chief excuse for the short
comings Of prohibition is removed, anc
the reform Is free to survive or perish or
! its merits.

RESPONSIBILITY
A Vulnerable Colonel Contrasted with q
Sheltered President

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Whenever President Wilson gets into
particularly bad FIX, as in the fasco over
his peace note, it seems strange that his apol-
, ogists IN the newspapers should vent their
wrath upon Colonel Roosevelt but not so
strange after ALL for by the we'll known law
of association of ideas by contrast the figure
Of the antipode of Wilson naturally arises in
their minds. The Colonel is vulnerable In
many points, as everybody knows, but there
is one point where he comes into enviable
contrast with Wilson, and that Is in his will
ingness to take the responsibility for his
acts. He never sheltered himself behind a
Secretary OF State, IS did Wilson In the case
Of Bryan, nor would he have permitted his
friends to shoulder the responsibility Of the
attempt in the Senate TO confirm his peace
note which he himself had instigsted Some
people may prefer the Wilson type, some It's
opposite; but "Why this heat, little sirs," be-
cause the Colonel has spoken the plain truth /?
The President should be held responsible
for the incapacity of Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels in that he continues him in Office
he is responsible for the odious language of
Secretary Of War Baker in reference to the
patriot army of the American Revolution,
since his words passed unrebuked; he is re-
sponsible for the debauch of the Civil Ser
vice, for unofficial emissaries travelling from
court to court, for his weakness at the time
Of the railroad strike, and for much more Of
the same character.
The country should thank Colonel Roose-
velt for fixing the responsibility where it be-
