Praying for the Captain

A white captain of colored men at
Camp Grant, Ill.,, has the satisfaction
of knowing that his company is praying
for him. He was guiding party Of
friends recently through the training
fields when he came to an open air
prayer meeting. He beat a hasty re-
treat when he heard tall negro soldier
say: 20, LODI forgive, we pray, the
captain of this comp'ny his grievous
sins. Soften his heart, and bring him
to walk with Thee in all his days"
Open air prayer meetings are as pop
ular with the colored troops in this
camp as boxing match is with white
soldiers.-Utica Press

Does Moderate Drinking
Cause a Moral Let-Down9

Many fondly entertain the illusion
that they may drink moderately with
OUT INJURY or offence to any one. It
is only an illusion. Any one who will
acknoWledge the clean, straight truth
KNOWS that even with one glass there
comes a subtle change in a man. True
II may be slight, but it is there. The
moral let-down has begun-and. nlease
note. it is always let-down, never an
upll1t. 1t is often said man be-
comes keener and clearer of thought
after slight stimulent. What hap
pens is that his moral sense, his care
Tor ms nelghbor and for right is
pluhted. lie now sees only his own
purpose and with but little scruple as
10 the wrong or injury he NAV do to
others, pursues his object relentlesslv
II only he can play safe for himself.
In the social world he NAV have the
reputation of being witty. Oh. of
course, he goes beyond the bounds of
pfoprlety, but he is so funny, but every
one knows he has had something. ;s
not quite himself and means no offence
etc. Why should the drinking man he
excused? Why should he be allowed
TO make a nuisance of himself "a ner-
son who must be carefully handled
iest ne become unreasoningly angry, or
lest his deadened moral sense nut
ior'h some remark strongly suggest
ing ana narrowly y escaping indecency ?
II there is no danger in the moderate
drinker, why do the most splendid
railway organizations in the world re-
iuse to tolerate in their operatives any
Indulgence whatever, whether on duty
or off, and call them to account if
simply seen entering a saloon?
mere Is no Ollorrp1 will, M. NN;1l
lams,s statement: "Every individual is
ehtltled to the greatest amount of lib
erty consistent with like liberty of
every other individual" The difficulty
IS the doctor fails to sec that granting
Liberty to men to injure themselves bv
taking something which robs them Of
lull mental control and manhood and
drops them toward the level of the
neist, is at the same time curtailinp
che liberty of other individuals by
forcing the latter to either endure the
unpleasant, often insulting, disgustinc
ana dangerous presence of those who
use ln'oxlcants' or to forego the pleas
ure ana education of attending public
places, and many private functions a .
Wen. 1t also forces the non-drinker to
endure many disagreeable sights and
experiences IN the daily business of
life. Vi
MANY citizens therefore feel that. rs
one citi2en may be prevented from es-
tapilshlng nuisance near the horne
of another citizen, the man inclined ~
indulge should on the same ground be
prevented from making his own nnr-
son an unpleasant thing, nuisance
and q menace to others. And. as the
drinking class refuse to abate Tho
nuisance of their own volition the
abstalner holds that it will make for
good government, good citizenship and
good homes if it can be made imnos.
sible for any one to get the stuff rc-
sponsible for these unhappy conditions.

For a Long Drouth

could tell him of one case where a
rich man, an employer and prohlbl-
tionist, has put $50. 600 worth of
liquors in q locked and barred concrete
basement; and there are others who
have taken more or less expensive and
extensive precautions.
Professor Fisher states on his own
authority that statewide prohibition
has been so effective in recent years
that public sentiment has grown faster
IN its favor after its adoption than
before
We cannot expect Professor Fisher
to know the condition OF public senti
ment in all The prohibition states.
Public sentiment can best be indicated
truly through the use of the ballot,
and under the prohibition regime the
people get scant chance to use the
ballot on prohibition.
The Denver Ministerial Alliance says
mat in Colorado, under prohibition.
every man is his own physician, and
mat he prescribes wine, beer and
whiskey in liberal doses for his "often
infrmiiies."
Professor Fisher says that eleven
states have ratified the Constitutional
amendment. This is true to the ex
,,ent that eleven states have been put,
uy snap action OF their legislatures, IN
me ratification list--but in not one OF
,,hese states have the people been al
'owed to express their sentiments.
The prohibitionists are violent op
pohents of public expression on the
question of ratification, and it must
appear from this that they know some
1naing that they have not coniided to
stotessor Fisher, of Yale.
he will have to show me that the
sp,rt Of democracy is dead, that the

Nation Must Have
Physical Proves,
Says Walter Camp
Athletic Director Shows
Ad Club the Need of
Regular Exercise

Walter Camp, in the uniform of q
navy athletic director. showed the New
York Advertising Club some physical
training exercises at its weekly
luncheon yesterday in the club roomss
~ East Twenty-6fth street. -v
Tho greatest nation Of the future
is the one whose people can endure
the most physically" ne told them.
"Unless we can fight, we are going to
be made serfs." s
Mr.. Camp was in Germany in 1914
and learned something of the physical =
prowess OF the enemy. On his return
to America he began preaching pre-
paredness. -
Build your ships and train your
men before we get the challenge Was +
his text
In New Haven he began whipping
into physical shape munition makers
and others on whom the strain of war
time industry had begun to tell. He
put 100 men, none under 45, through a
90 day course. They felt so much bet
ter that they are still exercising in
the open three times a week. he said.s
Later he began a course of training
in Washington for the men who were
carrying large burdens in the manage
ment of the war ~,
"We've all got to keep fit il we are
going to put this war through success
fully" he told the advertising men.
"A jaded, exhausted man is of little,
use to himself or others, and it makes
no difference in what part Of this great
scheme of ours he is placed. He be-
comes a weak link. Whether he be a.
soldier, a sailor, a factory operative, q
foreman, superintendent or an ex-
ccutive his work is only rendered
through his physical condition"
And then he shed his coat and
showed these men OF sedentary occu-
pations some exercises to keep them in
trim. The first series was of three
movements he characterized grind,
CRATE. grasp. Group two were motions /.
he called crawl, curl. crouch. The
third series were described wave,

Asks City Mediation Board

James P. Holland, president of the
State Federation of Labor, wrote
Mayor Hylan yesterday requesting him
on behalf of the trades unionists OF
the city to create board of concili
alton, mediation and arbitration which
would have the right to offer its ser
vices in bringing about adjustment of
industrial disputes.
MANY strikes and lockouts, am
sure, could be avoided if there was an
official board of mediation. concliation
and arbitration" said Mr. Holland
MAY we suggest that if you decide
to appoint such committee that it be
composed Of city officials and an equal
number of employers and representa-
tives of the unions"
New-York tribune., 1918-05-09
Prohibition Provides
For Use Of Alcohol

Professor Fisher says that modern
science has conclusively demonstrated
that even in small quantities the use
OF alcohol is somewhat injurious. ana
yet Professor Fisher must know that the
very prohibition law that he champions
makes provision for the use OF alcohol
for medicinal and sacramental and, yea,
verify, for scientific purposes. Besides
which, nobody drinks "alcohoi,' any
way.
The professor cites the statistics of
insurance companies as showing com
paratively heavy mortality among per-
sons "admitting" that they are mod
crate drinkers. | wonder if Professor
Fisher seriously accepts these admis-
slons as scientifically accurate. Doesn t
he know that it is humanity Impossible
to expect candidates for insurance to
put themselves down as immoderate
drinkers, regardless of any dietary
idiosyncrasies
Employers throughout the country
are in general against "alcohoF and
ready for prohibition in the interests
Of efficiency, says Professor FISHER.
Men who are ambitious to deny to the
wage Garner the pleasure of enjoying
glass of beer are not content to be
employers; they want to be autocrats
in control of human automatons.
Professor Fisher says that labor IS
in favor of prohibition; but Samuel
Gompers, the leader of American labor,
remains steadfast in his opposition to
prob hibition as an unwarranted IN
fringement on the rights Of the labor
ing classes.
Reverting to the employers who
favor prohibition, I wonder if Pro-
fessor Fisher thinks that these en-
ployers expect to accept prohibition
for themselves? In any case, he might
make few inquiries that would de
velop the information that the wealthy
business men of the country are put
ting in stocks to enable them to with
stand long term of prohibition dry

The Objectionable
Person Who Drinks
Inc right of the individual to be
tree from association with those who
inblbc is still another argument for
prohibition, according to l.. B. Lee
Wake, who disagrees with Dr.. Henry
Smith Williams.
10 the Editor Of The Tribune
olr: "a ITS issue of May ! The Trib-
une published very interesting letter.
on national prohibition by DR.. Henry
smith Williams. Apropos of that let-
Ter & the following may be of interest:
w nile appreciating fully the feeling
OF resentment which the idea of nro
motion arouses in some of our hest
citizens, we submit that such feeling
IS due to misunderstanding on the part
OF these good people, arising from the
TACT that they never view the matter
from the standpoint of the rights of
persons who do not drink at all, who
see It's disastrous results and to whom
the person who drinks, even in mod
crate way, is always in some decree
Objectionable.
The reference to PERCENTAGES of nm
fltness of drafted men in prohibition
states can hardly be considered as
proving against prohibition, for it cam
not De truthfully asserted that such
unlitness was IN any wise due to pro-
hlbltion. Also the fact THAI in some
ory states there are still persons
abie to somehow get Intoxicating
beverages, proves only that officials
VINO are supposed to see that laws are
hePt' nave IN some measure failed in
their duties. National prohibition ought
10 help cure such conditions.
Or. Williams discloses the crux of
!he whole matter, as we'll as the error
graph: pa q
81 myself would not WILLINGLY suh-
NIT to an order-from whatsoever
source-commanding me to discon-
unue the drinking of, let us saw,
soda water on the ground that it is
iin!urlng me- | claim the right to
lnJure myself in this way if I wish
TO 40 so, being descended from sew
eral generations of people who
helped to build up the tradition that
every individual is entitled to the
greatest amount of liberty consistent
with like liberty of every other in
Most people would like to prevent a
man from i,njuring himself if they may
properly do SO, but none deny the
mans right to "iniure himself" if he
so desires; all, however, decidedly OBJ
Ieco TO has doing SO if in the process
ne at the same time makes himself
nuisance and menace to other citizens
The user of intoxicating beverages is
never safe man, and there is alwavs
the possibility that he may become a
menace.
