SALOON IS A BARRIER TO LABOR

Because Bill Jones "boozes" he's
worth $3.50 day. Because Jim
Smith is sober and clear-headed, he's
worth $3.50 day. But the boss must
strike a fair average, so he pays each
So a day.
II there are two men like drinking
Bill Jones in the shop, and one like
sober Jim Smith, the average wage
will probably be s275 day. But if
there are two men like sober Jim
Smith and only one like drinking Bill
Jones, their wage will likely be s3.25
a day.
The more men like drunken Bill
Jones there are in a shop, the lower
will be the average wage. The more

says practically nothing about the
rights of man-its emphasis is upon
the duty of man. When the boss op-
presses the workingman, the working
man declares that there has been a
transgression of rights" But the
Bible insists that the law of love and
brotherhood has been violated.
When an employer of labor pays
starvation wages, when he compels
his employees to work under conditions
that are degrading, when he works
them beyond the point of physical en-
durance, when he grinds out of them
even the desire for the finer and big
ger things of life, the Bible has a
remedy for this situation. But it is
not in emphasizing the rights of the
poor. 1t dwells upon the fact that
he must follow the law of love and of
brotherhood. And the penalty that
he shall be called upon to pay is
based upon his failure to do this.
Human rights will never suffer if
human duties be performed. Duty
and not rights is the supreme need
of man. For the doing of ones duty
will carry one farther along than the
mere granting of another's rights.

Is, is it wise for us to proceed upon

"Can we not anticipate .he emer-

Saturday that the War Department
was five months ahead Of its plans in
shipping men to France. Might it not
next fall be five months ahead Of the
plans it to-day explained to the Senate
Military Affairs Committee? If so, it
would be without men to draw upon
unless it went into the lists of men
with dependents. To guard against
the unforeseen it was proposed that the
younger and older men.
Senator Fall also suggested that in
opposing such precautionary measure
as increasing the reservoir of men
without dependents the Administration
was thinking of the effect Of extending
the draft to boys upon the coming
election. And this is undoubtedly the
motive which makes the Administra-
tion decline for the first time since
the war began a grant of power. Sen
ator Chamberlain, however, repelled
the suggestion.
Senator Wadsworth made strong
argument for increasing the draft ages,
the point of which was that the coun-
try should not wait till emergencies
arose before preparing to meet them.

nation overtaken by emergencies"

General Crowder Calls
124,525 More Men to
The Colors i'm July

WASHINGTON, June 26.-White and
colored draft registrants numbering
1874, ,525 were summoned to the colors
for general military service in a call
issued to-day by Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder. Mobilization will take
place at intervals during the month of
July, starting with the entrainment of
27,257 white selected men on July S.
To-day's call, combined with that for
100000 to be mobilized July 22-25, or
dered by General Crowder last night,
and with the various special calls pre-
vously issued, will remove from civil
ian life during July a total of 367,961
men, the largest number of men sum-
moned in any one month since the
draft became operative.
The call issued to-day is divided into
four sections for entrainment purposes
From July TO- 8, white registrants
numbering 27,257 are to be entrained;
from July Is to 10, whites, 27,257;
July 16 to 20, colored, $4,000, and from
July 29 to 81, colored, 25.O11.
Although the order issued last nigh
for 100000 men probably will deplete
the present availables in Glass / ir
most of the draft districts, it wa:
pointed out that the bulk of the mer
called for July will not go to caml
until after the middle of the month anc

No Balance
For Emergencies

Here are the figures. The War De-
partment is going to call 100000 men
in August, 10000 in September, 10000
in October. 100000 in November and
1859 in December. 1t will then have
an army Of 100000 Americans and
dents made available under the recent
treaty 100000 in all. And Glass l
will be just exhausted. There will be
no balance in the bank for emergen-
cies.
Nor will the proposal by the War
Department of a plan to add to the
country's drafting power thirty or
sixty days hence add to the account in
the bank. We shall be all checked out
recess soon which will last till Septem-
Der. If Congress at once passes the
bill which by that time Mr.. Baker rec
ommends it will, according to General
| Crowde., take sixty to ninety days to
classify and draw the newly available
men, which carries the country through
on a hand-to-mouth policy until the
beginning of 1919.
The Democrats in the Senate stood
solidly behind the War Department
programme. Senator Chamberlain said
in substance that, while he personally
favored the years eighteen to forty
five, he thought it proper to be guided
by the judgment Of the War Depart
ment. Senator Underwood took the
same view. Senator Hitchcock declared
that, in view of what the War Depart
ment had explained to the Military AT
fairs Committee, at the request Of its
chairman, no emergency existed such
as called for legislation extending the
draft age.
Mr.. Hitchcock and the other support
ers of inaction made the point that nc
larger army could be raised for lack OF
ships to transport them, material te
arm and supply them and quarters ir
!. which to house them. Therefore, he
concluded, there was no immediate oc
casion to empower the President ts
: raise men Of other ages.
Senator Fall raised the objection
that General March had said only OF
