Present Day War Has Caused Amer
lea To Become Seriously Intro
spectiye. A Progressive Democracy
Everlasting Its Standard.


To the Editor Of The Capital:
After the war, then what? The
query is one that not America alone
Il interested in. but the entire civilized
world. 1t is a question filled with in
tricacies and the answer 70 il lies for
the nations TO evolve solution in the
far future by their accepted moral
code, international alignment in social
and trade-economic relations with
the advance of Christianity.
Every nation has a racial problem,
either Immediately at home from their
heterogeneous mass, or by foreign
territorial possessions. America has
it's own problem peculiarly contra
distinct from any other nation as ii
possesses greatest number of ma
tional and racial characters TO be
blended into one national whole,
unionized into a democracy "of the
people, for the people, by the people.
A democracy that is a progressive one,
is everlasting it's standard of moral
usefulness and solving perplexing
human exegencies by the experience
of intelligent understanding. Some of
the grave questions of today receiving
recognition and many enacted into
law, once held as mere mental vaga-
ries, are: National prohibition.

chise, national opposition 10 mob vio-
lence, compulsory school attendance,
standardizing age and condition of
child labor employment, workmen's
compensation acts, settlement OF la
Dor strikes by arbitration, opposition
TO capital punishment, all of which
are in keeping with democratic gov

fit human needs as understood.
The present day war has caused
America to become seriously intro

WAR JOB FOR VOTERS

The National Security League has
prepared two lists, a black and a
white. containing the records of every
representative who voted on any or
all OF the eight principal war meas
ures that came before the House dur
ing the last two Congresses.
The names of some Congressman
are found on both lists. They may
have voted wrong on one or more
measures, but they voted right on the
others. One State only has a perfect
record Rhode Islands representa-
tives voted right on all eight meas
ures Some of the men who voted
wrong at first experienced a change
of heart once the United States had
actually declared war. Opposing the
war az first, they have been in favor
of its vigorous prosecution ever since
we entered the fight
In addition to these two lists the
league has also sent TO every candi-
date for Congress a questionable COW
ering his name, residence, present oc-
cupation. occupations for past Is years
and offices previously held He is
asked further to state what has been
his attitude toward preparedness since
July, 1914; in what way he is dis
tfnctly on record as expressing that
attitude: what is his present position
on that question; what was his atti-
tude toward our entrance into the war
before the official declaration of war,
and existing records embodying that
view; how his attitude may have
changed since April 5. 1917. The
QUESTIONABLE also asks whether the
candidate will pledge himself TO be
an advocate of peace by victory. and
what policies he would advocate for
carrying on the war and for the re-
construction period to follow He is
asked to demonstrate his fitness for
the legislative Office he seeks by stat
ing his achievements in politics. bust
ness or professional life.
The answers are to be published
broadcast. If candidates refuse to fill
out the blanks the league warns them
that il will obtain the information
otherwise.
Loyalty and legislative ability in
Congressman were never before of
more vital importance than they are
in this period of the nations history

DUBLIN, June 22.-The Irish re-

the difference between this appeal and
former efforts along the same line.
The council points out that this cam
paign is being conducted by Irishmen
among their own people and in their
own way.
This island is only the cradle Of our
race" the manifesto declares. THE
greater Ireland beyond the seas. from
adelaide to Brisbane and from San
Francisco to New York. is heart and
soul behind the men in Flanders.
"Our countrymen the world over
stand aghast at our inaction. and
their friendship is growing cold. This
is no hour for tricks or bargains.
whatever bitterness must be felt In
the record Of opportunities lost OF
promises unkept we are confident that
an answer. to our appeal must come
from the beart and conscience of a
nation that never yet has sold herself
to wrong or asked a price for doing
right"

GERMAN DEAD'S CLOTHES

now become almost as scarce as

graphically reveal the clothing plight
Of Germany than a proposal Just put
forward by Justizrat Otto Feig, Il
prominent Berlin lawyer. that the
government should forthwith enact a
law making 1t compulsory for the heirs
of dead people or the administrators Of
their estates to turn over to the state
all the clothing left by the deceased
persons.
He points out that the German death
rate. owing both to casualties on the
battlefield and to the mortality caused
by the desperate food conditions at
home, is rising by leaps and bounds
What becomes Of the clothes left be-
hind by all these people?" he asks.
why should they not be given to the
living. The dead no longer NEED
them?'
After July 15 1t will be illegal for any
fotel, restaurant or other public house
to serve meals on tablecloths. Such
tablecloths and napkins as these estab-
lishments now possess will be conf1scated
and utilized primarily for baby linen.
