The man who"has a conscientious
conviction, that his duty to God for,
bids him to take the life Of another
man under any circumstances may
be respected for his sincerity, II
nothing else. but the man who hides
behind momentarily-adopt re-
llglous dogma to escape military
service cannot easily escape the
stigma of treason as well as that Of
cowardlce, Most of those who now
refuse 10 bear arms in defense Of
their country have never been known
10 practice i-res.stence In their
lives as private citizens. This whole
business Of conscientious objection
In otlfe face OF duty smells too much
Of hypocrisy to be worthy OF respect
We have plenty OF room In our jalls
for such creatures, and we know
how to build more If needed.

Everyday Wisdom
MhIsk Rroons.


Wh!sk brooms are gathered from
the tails of whisk birds which flock
IN great hordes off the coast Of west
ern Mexico and are noted the world
over for their abundant and luxu-
rant broomage. The way in which
THESE birds are persuaded by tine
WHY MeXicans to sacrifice their
proomage, makes a very interesting
and untruthful story.
Whisk birds hate dust. From
birth up they are possessed with a
passionate loathing for IT, IL is
queer Wherever they 20. they are
constantly whisking their tails, in an
annoyed and nervous manner. as If
to rid the world Of dust. 1t is OF this
fundamental, inborn antipathy that
man takes advantage when he tricks
the whisk bird to give up its tail
Along the shore of western Mex
ico, the whisk bird sits in thousands
out on the rocks. some distance
from the edge of the water He is
fond of the dustless ocean. 1t seems
TO give him great peace. He seldom
visits the mainland IL Is clever the
way the MeXicans lure him ashore
once every six months. when his
broomage is thickest
On an appointed day the whisk
broom hunters gather at the ocean in
their little automobiles. the name OF
which IL is superfluous to mention,
although we might as well mention
1t as to take all this space avoiding
1t. On this appointed day, at Civ
en- signal. they race up and down
the bank of the ocean in their little
cars, and create cloud after cloud,
cloud upon cloud of dust, and cloud
after cloud of dust.
This maddens the whisk birds be-
yond measure and they come to the
mainland in great fury in so great
fury, IN fact, that they whisk their
very tails off. They whisk as II they
would brush these little cars from
the face of the earth---an idle ambi-
tion II they but knew IL. And each
tail is a perfect whisk broom, perfect
even to the handle. After a couple
of hours Of this cleverness, the Mex"
leans gather up the whisk brooms
and ship them to the Pullman COM
pany and other markets
