STRIP DIRECTOR
OF OVERSEE TOGS

CAMP MEADE, Nd. Dec. IA
conscientious objector wearing a Sam
Brown belt and a nobby uniform with
wrapped Ieggins took the camp by
storm today. He had a uniform of
distinctive hue, but stylish military
cut, and in every way he was as
snappy as one might expect from
a West Point cadet on the day of
final inspection and graduation.
What astonished those who knew
collar lapel. This, he explained.
meant American Red Cross. That
caused trouble for him. Major Lewis
NJ. Ripley, field director of the
American Red Cross, said that the
objector did not belong to his uni
formed staff. He at once ordered the
man to take off the A. r. c. insignia.
A little research work here showed
that the objector had been given a
furlough to enable him to join q re-
construction unit in France, but that
after getting the furlough for that
purpose he did not complete the ar
rangements for the trip. So he came
back to camp in his overseas toys.
An old order was looked up. issued
many months ago in this camp and
in every camp in the country, pro-
hibiting the wearing OF the belt on
this side of the ocean by American
officers or others in camps. The chief
use of the belt is to enable an officer
TO carry a heavy pistol or other heavy
burdens at his side. The objector ad-
mitted that he never had that in
mind when he put on the harness.
Stripped of insignia and the snowy
belt the objector went back to his
detachment He said he was sorry
he never had the chance to go over
seas with the reconstruction unit,
especially after getting all the fancy
raiment

tool, and the traitor to the American
workingman. 1t is time for the pa
triotic American laboring man, to
purge the country of such scoundrels
and it is the hope Of every friend of
American industry that the search
will not cease till agitators who place
their own professional ambitions and
money above the welfare of Ameri-
can industry are driven from the
land.
There is no force so certain and
sure to perpetuate that intelligence
essential to democracy as a free press.
Publicity has cured more ills than
the law ever did. What we need above
all else is the truth and the facts.
What the effects Of all this will
be after the war cannot be foretold,
but if there has. been any lesson
learned out of the crisis it is that
there is infinitely more power in a
land where individual initiative has
full play than in an autocratic gov
eminent. The thought of the hour is
to avoid hampering industry and an
tagonizing it; rather to foster its de-
velopment by friendly cooperation
and an open field.
Someone has said that that coun-
try is governed best which is govern
ed least. Nothing proves it so much
as this war A nation where liberty
and opportunity are an open field
will develop the highest of human eff
ficiencies and produce Industries and
business institutions which in time of
peril will present a bulwark of ire
sistible strength to defend the demo-
cracy which fostered them"

END CONTRACT
PLAN OF LABOR
FOR PRISONERS

County senators and representatives
will meet with the County Commits
sioners at the Court House tomorrow
morning at IL o'clock to pass upon
the appropriations for the next fiscal
year, to lay a county tax, and to con-
slider the problem of employment of
prisoners at the County Jail after July
1 next. A budget has been prepared
by the commissioners estimating the
receipts and expenses.
Labor of the prisoners is perhaps
the most important matter, and it is
expected the contract system now in
vogue will be terminated. A commit
teee of the legislators has had the
matter under consideration for nearly
a year and a report making recon-
mendations will be made at the meet
ing tomorrow.
1t is understood this committee,
headed by Harry w .Huxford of SIAM
ford, will recommend the employment
of the Jail prisoners on the farms and
roads of the county under such safe
guards as may seem necessary. This
will give to the farmers needed help
during the planting and harvest sea-
son, and will aid the State Highway
Department in maintaining the roads.
There is some opposition to this rec
concentration, but it is likely to be
adopted.
An appropriation for repairs and an
addition to the County Home in Nor
walk Is recommended by the commits
sioners, and it is expected the new
County Courts Building will be turned
over by the Building Committee head
ed by Justice George w Wheeler.
There is a small balance of the ap-
preparation unexpended,
