Any person, who seeks honor or
personal gain in connection with any
war activities is war profiteer, and
Is guilty of the worst form of dis
loyalty. Every personal sacrifice is a
patriotic effort. 1t is the duty of every
honest citizen to do his best to bear
the Nations burden without COM
plaint This is no time for obstruc-
tionists. Those who have grievances
may complain, in order that better
progress may be made. The Stacker
and chronic'kicker Is always a detri.
ment. While petitions Of redress to
proper authorities will always COM
mand respect and investigation, let
us not forget that every one is asked
to do his share to win this war. There
is satisfaction in having done our
duty. There is honor enough for us
all, If we do that which is expected
of us. The patriot knows no self
preservation, the profiteer no self-sac-
rifice.

COTTON ENDS

A machine gun in operation will use

A Pinch gun disposes of half, a bale
Of cotton with every shot fired.
1t takes over 10000 bales a year to
provide absorbent cotton to stanch
and bind the wounds of the injured.
One change Of apparel for all the
troops now engaged in the war repre-
sents more than billion bales Of cot

In a naval battle, like the one of
Jutland, from five to six thousand

Washington.-Presid Wilson per.
sonally opened the ceremony Of draw
ing numbers for the 100000 men
registered in the new draft. He drew
the first capsule, which contained tho
number 800.
Amid ceremonies profoundly i'm
pressive and of transcendent historical
significance, Gen. Peyton G. March,
chief Of staff Of the army, received in
person this vast force of as yet ununi-
formed reserves, on behalf of the mil
itary branch of the government.

And from this reservoir Of man pow
er-the largest body Of citizen soldiers
ever offered by the people Of any ma
tion to their government-Genera
March is to recruit the army of 4,OOO,-
600 men which he has promised to
have overseas by July 1 next to back
up General Pershing on the battlefelds
Of Europe.
Every man in the registration is af-
fected, as from those who are not
called for active military duty the
country's war managers propose to
mobilize great industrial army of
war workers to make certain of a con-
stantly flowing stream Of men and mu-
nitions to the field Of battle.
The roll call, which is to assign to
each of the 100000 men a military
number determining the order in
which he is to be called, was begun by
President Wilson himself, and not fin
ished until late in the afternoon next
day.
As the tally sheets were filled they

the country at large was informed of
the order Of all the numbers within a
few days.
Wilson Is AppIauded.
There was hearty round of ap-
plause as the president, blindfolded
with a piece of cloth taken from the

at the signing of the Declaration Of
Independence, approached the table
on which rested the famous glass
bowl used upon the first drawing.

There was increased handclapping
when it was announced that the first
number of the drawing was 800, for

every one of the 1857 local boards in
the country. Every man whose serial

might think it q Sim Fein petition

Irish question, for after quoting the
president on his stand for a united
people The American tries to split
popular sentiment and opinion by
demanding the defeat Of Kilby. The
devil can quote scripture and even the
Sim Feiners quote President Wilson.
So The American hasn't found any
new method Of presenting q poor
cause in its Sunday best Both Ths
TyibGne and The Amsricca say that
Kilby has hurt his chances by per-
hitting TIE MENACE to come to his
aid, but both howl In q manner that
shows they don't believe word Of

that why should they throw a At

from 1t. Kilby is going to be elected,

will have plenty Of time to look thos-
oughly into the matter before cleo
ton day. Such sheets as The Amer
ican and Tribune which never print
anything that won't please the
|priestly operates Of Rome's ma
chine in Alabama have none but
themselves to thank for the appear
ance Of The MENACE on the scene,
and that evidence Of papal censor
ship, by the way, is another illustra-
tion Of how the papal system creeps
into political power.
One last word-don't forget, peo-
pie Of Alabama, that it Is absolutely
necessary to unite In support Of Kill

duty Is to withdraw from the race in
the interest Of the cause. If he will do
this now, there is not thing in the
world to prevent him succeeding Kill

1t must have been quite shock to
him when Judge Nations addressed

The Roman Catholic political ma
chine has been working its dark Ian
tern methods in Alabama politics
quite successfully and nothing SO
astounded Rome as when The MEN
ACE came into the state well fortified
to drive her out Of the political arena.
That the machine was there, all
cooked and primed for another cam
paign which 1t sincerely believed
would be carried forward without
any resistance, was evidenced so soon
as our first issue struck. Then it was
that the aspiring agents Of ecclesias-

as pups howl every time they are

the spirit Of Rome. Under the head
ing "They Say, But They Lie" nu-
merous journals throughout the coun-
try have been printing matter over
the signature Of the Committee on

therein that is splendid but the re-
ligious issue is dragged in as pro-

Well, if she can use II to becloud

Another Conclusive
Victory for Menace

The sovereign people Of the state
Of Illinois have emphatically shown
that the bar Of public opinion is the
final tribunal before which even
judges Of the supreme bench must
submit their case.
Judge Craig had asked the people
Of Illinois to return him to the su-
preme court from the fifth Judicial
district. But Judge Craig while nit
ting on the bench had rendered q de-
cision permitting the further pay
nient Of state funds 70 the Chicago
Industrial school, q Roman Catholic
institution, in spite Of the constitu-
tional provision which says no public
moneys shall be paid to any school
controlled by any church.
Thus did the Illinois supreme court
set aside the constitution, 80 the peo-
lple Of Illinois set Judge Craig en-
phatically aside June LIST. The Judge
was much surprised at his defeat,
but THE MENACE had gone into Illi-
nois with a full account Of his action
just prior to election day and all the
people who knew Of his un-American
decision were working against him.
No wonder Rome wants TO kill THE
MENACE. II is killing the geese that
lay her golden eggs.
