CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS ARE ENEMIES.

Forty five conscientious directors
who refused to defend their country by
hghting in its armies and navy have
been sentenced to twenty five years Of
Imprisonment at q federal prison. The
sentence was pronounced at a court
martial at San Antonio. Tex Object
ors are thus classed with those con-
victed Of granddaughter in that they are
willing to let the terrible Huns win
this war, invade America and slaugh-
ter the people Of our happy land with
out resistance from them.

conscientious objector we will have to
accept the verdict but Roosevelt sug-
gested far more popular plan. He said
that he would consent to their wishes
and would not ask them to bear arms
but that he would find other work for
them to do near the firing lines and
would see to it that they were used in
especially hazardous places.
That would suit the great majority
Of our people. A man who has a relig-
ion or a political BELIEF that pre-
vents him defending his coun-
try in time Of war Ls as much of
an enemy as an enemy alien. In Of
feet he contributes by his action to the
invasion Of his own country by an en-
envy army intent upon the murder
of our people. If all Of our people were
like him there would be none to repel
invasion. II others are willing to fight
for national defense the objector has
made Of himself an enemy to his coun-
try and Roosevelts plan would At him

years at prison labor.
Conscientious DIRECTORS who refuse
to fight are no worse than those who
refuse to finance the countrys fight
against a foreign foe or to support it's
great life saving war relief organiza-
tons. There should be no exemption
for conscientious directors. Congress
made serious mistake to suggest It in
the draft law. None Of us are respon-
sible for the kaiser's determination to
rule or ruin the earth in this war and
ali OF us must defend our country or
we will be aiding others to attack II
when we refuse. The verdict at San
Antonio ought to clear UP some mis-
understandings as to the right Of a
conscientious objeotor to become a
Stacker.

- Most Married Men Know, 10
Their Discrimination.

The main difference between men
and women IL nowhere 30 marked "a
It is In the distinction between char
acter and ability.
A mans ability IL entirely separate
from his character. A man may have
genius and no character at all he
may have small abilities and large
character. In q man the two things
appear to be entirely Independent of
one another.
But q woman's character IL deter

IL determined BY her character. In
reality, therefore, women are much
moro simple than men. although they
do not appear to be 20. Women are
more complicated outwardly than men.

BASS SINGERS WANTED FOR THE
BIG MUSICAL EVENT FOR THE
RED CROSS

| Moscow wants singers, especially
bass singers, for the musical benefit
Professor Eugene Storer, of the uni
versity has kindly offered to 'put on
| for the local Red Cross, if he can get
the proper support and assistance.
Professor Storer, whose ability in this
work is too we'll known to need COM
ment here, has offered to put on
cantata or other musical program and
to make it the biggest musical event
that Moscow has known if he can get
the help and talent that will be need
ed, to make it a success. He will do
the hard work, the training, planning
and all that, if Moscow's good singers,
of whom there are many, will volun-
teer their services. Bass singers es-
pecially are needed.
Moscow has much talent and those
who arc trying to help Professor StoF-'
err in his splendid work for this splen-
did cause, are hoping they can secure
local talent and have asked The Star
Mirror to call upon those who can
sing to volunteer their services. 1t
has been suggested that if Moscow
fails to produce half a dozen bass
singers we might call on Col. Roose-
yelt to sing on this great occasion.
1t is told ION Col. Roosevelt that he
went to heaven on certain occasion
and found things not to his liking. He
wanted to have things on larger
scale. He wanted larger choir and
was so persistent that he was given
permission to organize one He asked
for 10 of the largest pipe organs, l0,-
600 tenor singers, 10000 alto singers
and 10000 soprano singers. When
asked if he did not want 10000 bass
singers he replied, Enthusiastically,
"No, I'll sing bass"
The ladies who are trying to ar
range for this splendid musical event
that will be credit to Moscow, a
pleasure to hear and a financial bene-
fit to the Red Cross are hoping they
will not have to ask Col. Roosevelt to
here and sing, but that enough
bass singers who are residents of Mos
COW will offer their services.
