The Rev. Howard Rus
sell, Prohibitionist

7 N AN article in "Harper's Magazine"
called "Frightfulness Against the
Saloon,' Burton j. Hendrick describes
briefly the career of the man who, he
says, is mainly responsible for the prog
ress of the prohibition movement:
Like all great temperance leaders the
Rev. Howard H. Russell had personal rea-
sons for abhorring the saloon. He had no
such lurid past as John B. Cough, who had
spent his early life as an apparently hope
less drunkard, or Francis Murphy, who had
been saloonkeeper, and as such had done
time for illegal selling; yet Mr. Russell, in
his platform speeches, has frequently de-
scrlbed his early difficulties with the drink
habit, and has made no secret of the raw
ages which it had worked among his rela-
tives and antecedents. When he first an
peared as prohibition advocate. however,
ME- Russell showed no traces Of these strup
giles; IN 1893 he was a neatly accoutred
clergyman Of thirty eight, a graduate Of
New-York tribune., 1918-09-15

Oberlin, and a man of more than local fame
a revivalist and temperance exhorter
His previous existence had been somewhat
varied; he had been a farmer, a clerk in
herder, a newspaper editor, a lawyer, a
politician, preacher and city missionary
He had drawn from all these divergent
experiences the one controlling passion of
his life-a hatred of the saloon. In all
his occupations this institution had been
the big fact that had constantly faced him.
CAS- a lawyer he had spent a large part
of his time fighting illegal sellers; as
newspaper editor and politician he had
gained much information, which he after
ward put to practical use, concerning the
relation that had always existed between
the whiskey interests and politics. The
event that determined his life work came in
Mr.. Russell's twenty-seventh year, when he
underwent sudden religious conversion.
Mr.. Russell had never done anything half
way, and now, from an easy going, easy
living, careless good fellow having half
interest in his religious welfare, and a not
lnfrequent visitor to the saloon, he imme-
diately became what most people would
probably describe as fanatic' A course
at Oberlin fitted Mr.. Russell for the min
lstry. Even before his graduation he trav-
clled through small Ohio towns, holding re-
vlval meetings. Afterward, in Kansas City,

Mr.. Russell represented precisely that type

Middle West at that period The man of
the world probably regarded him as an ex-
tremey commonplace, inexperienced, even
a ridiculous figure. Practically every city

~ Roster, who was coming home
from her grocer's laden down with
supplies, took refuge in doorway in the
Boulevard Sebastopol While waiting for
the sky to clear she looked absent-mind-
edly into a glass showcase, filled with
photographs, which stood at the bottom
of the stairway.
Suddenly she gave a start What rea-
son in the world was there that that
case should contain a photograph, in a
velvet frame, of her daughter Louise-a
photograph which she had never seen or
heard of? Was she not deceived by a
surprising resemblance? She drew near

was Louise-her features, her coiffure

"No doubt" she thought, "Louise has

why? Or, rather, for whom?"
A cruel enigma, which weighed upon
her mind and would leave her no peace
until she had solved it!
Fortunately the rain stopped. She hur-
ried home. Louise had just come in, af-
ter finishing her class at the school for
orphans.
"You aren't very wet, mama, are
you?" the young girl asked, taking
charge of the parcels.
Gas if that made any difference!"
cried Nine. Roster, all out of breath from
walking rapidly. "Why did you have
your photograph taken without letting
me know anything about it?"
"How did you know" stammered the
young teacher.
"No matter how Tell me-"
At first nonplussed, Louise presently
recovered her sang-froid. She was a

with the cruel truth that the volunteer
system not only kills industrial life"
he said, "but is totally unequal to the
task of raising maximum armies"
In describing the enactment of tho
American draft laws, General Crowdcr
spoke of the strength of the traditional
method of recruiting which resulted in
the permitting of enlistments during
the earlier days of the draft. He
praised Congressman Kahn and SEN
ator Chamberlain for their warm es-
deavors to secure the passage of the
draft act. Enlistments were dscon-
tinued, he said, when it was found that
they were directly antagonistic to the
efficient operation of the draft.
Part Civilians Played
"Trom the very first we realized the
necessity of intrustng the task Of rails
ing an army to civilians" he declared.
"To our conception Of a democratized
draft, administered by local civilian
boards expressing community and
reighborhocd judgments on selection
and deferment is, in my, judgment, due
the success of the draft in producing
man power both in the recruiting of
armies and the preservation OF indus
try.
"War had builded for us the sclec-
tive service system, and as builded it
is of the very essence of democracy,
integrating so we'll with our political
system that it would be calamitous
it seems to me, if it should not be-
come a recognized part of our gov
eminent system for the raising of
armies in time of war. 1t has de-
stroyed, | think, the volunteer system
for raising such armies. 1t was con-
clusively demonstrated in both Eng
land and America that the two sys-
! TENS are fundamently antagonistic and
cannot exist concurrently"
The speaker praised Secretary Baker
for his advice and cooperation and
commended the city and state officials
who turned the machinery of govern
ment to assist in the operation of the
selective service movement.
"But what of the army you have
raised 2" General Crowder concluded
"The answer comes in no uncertain
terms from France. What of your own
77th Division? Because of the various
nationalities composing it, it furnished
the crucial test of the selective service
system. 1t had it's baptism of fire in
the Chateau Thierry sector, fought
later along the Meuse and in the

with a record which will not suffer in
