house out of business. 1t is a char
acteristically stupid statement of
ariStocracy.and of the brewing bust
ness that the .workingman'' is
without ideals or self-restraint, and
that he puts his glass above the
flag. The sentiment would be in bet
ter taste If the men who made it
low King George in a pledge of
glasses down for the war"
Another favorite argument for
liquor was borrowed in perverted
form from the Apostle Paul: liquor
was essential to health. Yet recent
ly, when the influenza began it rav-
age in Pennsylvania and the East
g%enerallys the health authorities shut
up the saloons with a consequent
and immediate falling off of crime
in the big cities. OF course, the vital
statistics of the dry" versus the
wet states and provinces long ago
settled that question to the effect
of liquor upon health. And within
a year the president of the Amer
lean Medical Association, DR.. Arthur
Bevan, said in his official address,
I'm the slow evolution of civilization
many great wrongs became SO in
trenched that it, required centuries
of education or revolution to extir-
pate them. Among these great
wrongs, too long tolerated, none has
done more injury to mankind than
drink. Now the swiftly moving
course of events is writing the death
warrant of autocracy and rule by
divine right and science and edu-
cation should eliminate not only
plaques and epidemics. but also the
curse of drink from the world"

died. The world has given of its best
in battle to save itself from the
worst of o in peace.
Some Blessings of the War
There has been a majestic moral
sense marching over the earth with
in the past five years. When the
old order of world peace collapsed
the eyes of all far-seeing men and
women we're opened to the coming
Of a new era, with nobler ideals and
impulses. Each passing month re-
veals the magnitude of this spir-
itual, political and economic up
heaval. We are headed toward a
new heaven and a new earth.
Five years ago it seemed as If
material might and physical indulg-
ence held sway among mankind. A
passion for power and pleasure ruled
men. Wealth, the symbol of au-
'thority and purchasing ability, was
the avowed goal of effort. In the
cultivation of forms of entertain
ment, and in the invention of new
sensations, the world was ~rivaling
ancient and degenerate Rome. There
seemed n bunting of the finer edge
of spiritual sense.
Then fell the war bringing us to
ourselves, and causing deepest soul
searchings. Facing the issue, all the
best that is in us-our inheritance
from forefathers who battled for
liberty and for God; our innate ideal
ism, our sense of responsibility for
the world to-morrow-rose up to
assert itself. We had strayed, but
we had not become lost. With all
our faults, we now know, we do
stand for righteousness and religion.
The supremacy of spiritual values
emerged. At present, thank God,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-11-01

know that this cannot be so long
as appetite rules mankind; or prin-
ciples are subordinated to passion.
Clearly, the question is larger than
one of booze Or nc booze. 1t is tho
ancient issue of the flesh versus the
spirit. Our supreme task, as it lies
peculiarly within the domain of re-
ligion. is to help the human race to
give over the reins of their lives to
their higher natures, while they
bring into subsection the lower. The
shortest. surest way to accomplish
this is to persuade the world to ac-
cept Jesus Christ, who gives to His
disciples a new nature.
Blunderings of Booze
Without simplifying the oft-prov-
ed point of the relationship between
the brewer and the German pro-
gram, it is enough to point out that
the booze business has been COM
hitting the same sort of plumbers
as the Prussian propaganda. The
uncovering of those mistakes has
helped teal the veil from the eyes
of many blinded Americans. Thus,
the discovery that the man who
wrote for many years the bitter
apti-English, anti-Japanese and, in
ferentially, the-pro-German editor
lulo VI IN AL01AoI oIdPClo . ilu
purchased his Washington news
paper with funds contributed by
brewers bearing German names, has
startled the country into a realiza-
ton of the qualifications of the
liquor business and of the schemes
of the enemy.
Another blunder of the friends of
strong drink has been the cry that
the workingmen must have their
dram. Similarly, it was said that
an army in France must have" rum
every morning. but to date not a
single of rum or other intoxi-
cant has been issued to General
Pershing's army. When 1 was in
London l heard on every. hand that
the brewers must be permitted to
continue in business, because of the
workingman."
1 took that argument to Arthur
Henderson, the labor leader. His
jaw set as he said, "All we ask is
that they let us put 1t to the test.
So far, since the war, when the la
boring men of Britain have had q
chance to vote on the question To-
cally, they have put the public

KAISER And BOOZER ON run
The International Sunday School Lesson For No
venber 3 Is Appetite and Greed"-Genesis
5:27-34 Worlds Temperance Sunday
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Wars casualties are not all
printed in the newspaper lists
There is John Barleycorn, for in
stance; he is as surely doomed as
the Kaiser. Into these tremendous
days we have ~telescoped the process
of generations. SO that greater social
progress Is being made in a year
than formerly was achieved in a
century. Mas keeps a school of
intensive training. We are learning
to the accompaniment of guns the
great lessons of life. That is why
even liquor men admit that the bust
ness OF strong drink will have been
wiped out for the United States and
Canada. and ultimately for the whole
world, by this war. Civilization has.
s~teadfastly resolved that there shall
be a new and better order for man4
kind; and, inevitably, there is no
room in it for the hurtful liquor
traffic.
This war, our children will clearly
see, will have been worth all it
cost, terrible and tragic as is the
toll at present being taken. Dimly
we now envisage the priceless results
to our children. Soldiers glimpse
the greatness of the future they are
buying with their blood. A British
soldiers epitaph in France is said
to read:
When you go home, tell them of
us, and say For their Tomorrow, we
have given our Today"

blight of Prussianism, militarism,
autocracy, greed. cruelty, injustice
and intemperance that they have

Dear Mother;
Just came back from q three-day
trip to Paris. and I sure did enjoy
myself. probably because 1t was such
. change. for you know I have been
ON the front for some six months
land the outlook there Is not always
as cheerful as one might think. And
then one sect so much of the male
snex, too, in fact. too much, so you
can imagine seeing the French dolls,
which Paris is noted for, trotting
along the boulevards and parks, was
some welcome sight, ven If some
pe-rons maintain that their idea of
a bath is simply another coat of pow
der.
In Gay Paree ,
Besides, 1 had considerable money
in my jeans and was aching to spend
II. / could not have gone to a bet
ter place for that purpose, for it sure
does take money to live in Paris.
Everything has a tax de luxe"
pinned onto 1t, which translated
means taxes on luxuries.
Riding in taxs comes under this
head, too, which caused me consid-
cradle surprise, for taxis in Paris
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-11-01

are cheap and q most common mode
Of conveyance. Incidentally, the tax
was marked on the taxtmeter under
the word baggage" and since the
only baggage I was carrying was a
pair OF kid gloves, I sure made a
holler at the end of my first ride.
oh, no, I did not. come back broke,
but I did spend q lot of money in
ways that would shock your thrifty
SOUL" as Dad would say. One of
them being the buying of a gold
bracelet, with my name, number,
residence and a lot of other private
history inscribed thereon. 1t only
cost some $35 so it should be pretty
good metal, Ell? You see, I am just
as vain-or crazy-as ever, and
when you see me in some of these
French uniforms you will be quite
sure OF the vain part.
Gets New Spangles
While 1 think of it, I better tell
you that being in the big town" 1
made use of the opportunity to re-
pair the damage to my black uni
form. You remember, I lost the
most important half of it sometime
ago. I now have a new pair of pants
and am ready to wear my own
mourning again.
Putting UP at the Y. NJ. c.. A. ho-
tel, l caused nc end of curiosity, be-
ing all dolled up in blue among a
sea of khaki, and the blue being
trimmed by the gold badge of the
Lafayette Corps, the flying insignia
of the French, to say nothing of my
"Croix de Guerre" with its two
palms, and the "fouragire" draped
from my shoulder, one could not
blame the girls for making eyes at
one, or the American soldiers for
wondering where and how I acquired
all the trimmings.
How { Tell a Yank
One American girl declared she
knew 1 was an American before 1
opened my mouth. Naturally, ! was
curious to know why as I always am
when people say 1 look like an
American, and wanted to know if it
was the shape of my mouth. This
brought u smile and the showing
of a perfect set of white teeth from
the pretty one, for strange as it may
seem, this was one pretty little Miss.
How she ever got into Y. NJ. c. A.
work with all that beauty was be-
You'd me, until l found out that she
had lived in France for six ears;
besides her mother was in charge at
the Y. where l was so ioyfully alb
sorbing ice cream You may Won
der at my surprise at seeing a pretty
girl in a Y. canteen, but really, from
my observation, L firmly believe they
have a beauty censor when it comes
to passing on the merits of these
workers. But to come back to the
reason why I looked like an Ameri-
can, what do you think that girl
said? She knew it by my feet. Not
