Is The Warning Sufficient

Judge Days warning when he sentenced four Perth Amboy
liquor dealers a day or two ago that the law was to be strictly en-
forced and the next offenders brought before him for sentence would
get a prison term, ought to have some effect.
But will itf
Liquor dealers have been s. accustomed to ignoring the law and
defying the authorities that they cannot seem to comprehend that
things are different now. Liquor men do not have things their own
way as they used to.
Strange as it may seem, the saloon men go on taking chances
just as il there had been no warning. One would think that the
action Of Judge DAILY in the New Brunswick cases would have been
sufficient. 1t was apparent that he meant what he said. But 1t was
only a short time after they had received their punishment and a
general warning had been given that the Perth Amboy dealers were
caught.
Now the Perth Amboy men have been sentenced. A fine of $500
is no slight matter. 1t will probably take the profits of a great many
Sunday illegal sales. But besides the fine is the disgrace of serving
one day in the county workhouse.
Judge DAILY now declares that the next offenders will not get OH
with but a one-day sentence. Yet there is reason to believe liquor
sympathy when they find themselves in the clutches of the law
standing before the bar Of Justice.
But the county authorities are not the only ones after the law
violators. 1t lis now reported that the federal government is giving
particular attention to Middlesex county owing to the vast war In
dustries located here. And when the federal authorities get busy
there is no lodging. Excuses don't go. With one sweep they clean
up the whole territory and the liquor dealers find themselves out OF
business entirely.
The latest report is that federal investigators are in the county
sizing up the liquor situation and If they find the saloon keepers
defying the law they will make the whole county "dry."
1t is hardly expected that liquor dealers will come to their senses
until this final blow comes. They have been warned enough al
ready. but pay no attention to it. The result will be that those who
like to obey the law will suffer with the rest when the final action
comes as it surely will unless there is a radical change in the way Of
doing business. The liquor dealers have only themselves to blame
for the predicament in which they find themselves.

Today We Celebrate
Anniversary of New York's Draft
Riots.

One of the most remarkable demon
STATIONS Of patriotism is to be found
almost daily, nowadays, when the
young men who have been drafted
march of to the various training
camps. They go with cheers and with
pride in the part they are to tax in
making the world safe for democracy.
There was q time when a different
story was told but that Is very long
ago, in fact, it Is just ffty-hve years
ago.
At that time Lee and his army de-
feated at Gettysburg, were r~etreating,
and Vicksburg, with $1,000 prisoners,
was in possession of Gen. Grant. These
victories naturally caused great Joy in
the North, yet there were many to
whom the news brought sorrow rather
than Joy. These were the men who
were enrolled in a secret society of
southern sympathizers called the
Knights of the Golden Circle, which
had local branches, or Castles" in
both the East and West, as well as in
the South.
Just fifty-fve years ago today, July
IL, 1883, the western knights held
a meeting in Springfield, ILL.,, when 1t
was resolved to make the drafting of
III able bodied male citizens of the
United States, between the ages of
eighteen and forty-fve." as provided
In the enrolment act, the occasion of
revolution. In the West the knights
decided to aid Morgan, the C~onfeder-
ate officer, who was then raiding In
diana and Ohio. Before the plan
could be carried out. however, Morgan
was captured and confined in the Ohio
pe%nitentiary. from which he made a
sensational escape, only to be recap
tured the following year, and shot.
In New York the propaganda of
the knights" resulted in the draft
riots. The provost-marshal of New
York was instructed by the President
to- begin drafting of men on July IL,
1853. The streets of the city swarm
ed with police, as serious trouble was
expected, but the day passed without
disturbance. The newspapers on the
following morning published the
names of the ~conscripts, as they did in
the recent Seleetve Draft. The first
CONSUMPTION took place on Saturday,
and h men had Sunday to think It
over, and to listen to anti-Union agita-
tors. On Monday various professions
marched to the place of CONSUMPTION,
the place was attacked and fred and
the flames wiped out an entire block.
There were no troops on hand and
the city was in the power of the mob.
Plundering and staying began as the
rioters increased. There was a verit-
able reign OF terror In New York.
Fifty marines bravely charged the
mob, but were overcome by the force
OF opposing numbers. Some of them
were killed. all were severely beaten.
The police were dealt with the same
way. The climax OF the rioting wes
reached when the Colored Orphan
Asylum was burned and the children
those who escaped, turned into the
streets.
Militia from Pennsylvania was f.
nally fastened to the city and aided
the police in restoring order. During
the three days OF terror nearly a
thousand people were killed or wound
ed, and property worth $1,000 600 was
destroyed. In the following month
the draft was resumed and completed
without further trouble.

Waste of Worry

What sense is there in American editors discussing the barring
of Germany from sources of raw material or the crushing of all Ger
manism, in this country or any other, when peace eomesi Threats
have n o effect upon fighting Germans and they sound like whstling
to keep up ones spunk.
- II counting chickens before they re Matched is poor policy, try
ing to sell chickens by weight before they're Matched is downright
7dfeex. and that's about what's attempted in establishing world
policies before it is known how we arrive at peace.
If Germany wins in this war, Germany viii dictate as to her
sources Of supplies and as to the dissemination of Germanism through
ont the world. If the nations fighting her win, it viii be a barren
tary policies shall be.
We are not going to control the mad dog Of Europe until we lick
him into complete submission. The only question worth while, now,
Is the licking of him.

lost some pep; I moved along with dragging step; m y joints began
