WAR JUSTIFIED.

War, in a good cause, is not the
greatest evil which nation can sui
fer. War is an ugly thing, but not
the ugliest of things; the deca ged
and degraded state or moral and pa
triotic feeling which thinks nothing
worth a war is worse. When a pc, pie
are used as mere human instruments
for firing cannon or thrusting bayo-
nets, in the service for the selfiSh
purposes of a master, such war de-
grades a people. A war to protect
other human beings against tyran-
nical injustice; war to give victory
to their own ideas of right and good
and which is their own war, carried
on for an honest purpose by their
free choice, is often the means OF
their regeneration. A man who has
nothing which he is willing to fight
for, nothing which he cares more
about than he does about his presona
safety, is a miserable creature who
has no chance of being free, unless
made and kept so by the exertions
of better men than himself. AS long
as justice and injustice have not ter
minated their ever-renewing fight fol
ascendency in the affairs of mankind
human beings must be willing, whe1
need is, to do battle for the ont
against the other.-John Stuart Mills

MILK SAVES MEAT-AND MONEY

The cooking editor of the Woman's
Home Companion writes in the April
number: "There is every reason for
using milk, no reason for not using
it. There are people who think it too
expensive because it costs a few
cents more per quart than ever be-
fore, and so have cut down their
milk supply. This is mistake. Milk,
even at the present price, is an eco
rlomical food. Milk. is so essential
to the present and future health OF
the nation that it is vitality neces-
sary to keep the price of it within
reach of everyone. Our bodies must
have foods that supply building ma
terial, energy, mineral substances
and regulating and growth-promot,,
ing substances. Milk supplies all
these. In every quart of milk there
are from four to five ounces OF sollo
food. This can be seen when milk
is made into cottage cheese. This
is protein of the most valuable type
and in this respect (protein) quart
of milk is equivalent to from foul
to eight ounces of meat or four. eggs
There is no other protein food thai
is SO good for young children. A
child under five, taking quart Of
milk a day, needs little or no mea'
and only an occasional egg; while
the average adult, taking pint o.
milk a day, will need only a quarter
Of pound, or less, of meat per day.

the time that all he lodges and clubs

longs to everything and about all
that people can attend to, evenings,
is some social affair.
The home is thus sacrificed for
some fool organization.
That is why we have loose morals
among the youth of our communi-
ties.
It is not so much the fault of
these same youngsters as it is a
matter of their being victims Of en-
vironment, circumstances and system.
But it is the older people who are
responsible for the system.
It is the older people who have

Fathers who should be at home
with their wives and children spend
their evenings away from home.
In consequence of all this the home
is losing it's influence. 1t has be-
come without head and without au-

Almost every day now we hear
such expressions as this: 1t VIII
do the boy good to join the army.
He will learn to mind" :,
1t is the best thing IN the Worli
for boy or girl to learn to mlnd.
But the trouble with the average
father and mother is that they think
that making their children mind IS
something that they have but little
to do with, that discipline is some
thing that belongs to the school and
that the parents are not responsible.
The public school can not do what
is expected of it in this matter.
| can do it's share and more, but
it is the home that must do the most.
But the home must be bruoght to
realization of the necessity for this
discipline. 1t must learn to know
that it has responsibility in the mat
ter. 1t must find out that on 1t de-
pends, more than on any other one
institution, the welfare Of the nation.

to be driven out of the minds OF
the people.
And it can be best done by the
pulpit
To reconstruct the American home,
to bring it back to the glory and
power Of the days when it was at
it's best, is a work that which the
American pulpit could do no better
one.
The sacredness of the home-ties
and the place of the home in the
social system of the present, should
be a theme that the pulpit should
never tire of bringing a message on.
The success of the church, like the
success of the state is dependent up
on the homes of the people.
The press of the country can also
help in this matter but the pulpit
can do the most, because people will
listen to the preacher but they don't
have to read things that they don't
like. :,
And he subject is one that should
not be passed over lightly.

Back to the Home

People in the country and the small
villages, are, generally, very quick, 20
talk about the immortality OF the Dig
cities.
And that there are places of vice
and immortality in the big cities no
one denies.
But these things are not confined
to the big cities.
The small cities. the small vii
lagos and even the country districts
have their vice problems.
Every now and then something
breaks out in these small places that
shows that the vice promoters are
busy at work.
Sometimes the agencies that pro-
mote vice are individuals, sometimes
they are local conditions, or the en-
vironment into which young people
are thrown.
There is not small town but has
its problems.
When some overt act has been per-
formed, when something has hap
pened, when some youngster has
shown a knowledge of things for
hidden, in measure beyond the con-
ventional standard, there are always
those who are ready to condemn.
There are those who are ready to
hold up their hands in holy horror
and cry as if the foundations OF So
ciety had been overturned.
Our opinion of these people is not
germane to the subject under dis
cussion-and it is some opinion at
that.
There used to be song with the
title: "Where is my wandering boy
tonight?" That was sung years ago.
It is out of date now.
To the parent who thinks anything
about these things the important
question now is: "Where is my wan
dering girl tonight?"
And that brings US face to face
with the question: Why is the boy
wandering? Why is the girl wander
ing?
Who is to blame?
In ninety-nine cases out of a hun

blame.

Ignorance of the consequences OF the

WAR GIVES
|CHANCEF
THE NEGRO
By Gibson Gardner

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June g.
War has brought opportunity to
the colored race.
negro troops have been taken
there in large numbers. More
over, they have been given a
chance on the firing line, and as
generally expected have made good
soldiers.
1t -as announced at the time the
draft was first begun that negro
troops would be used largely in
construction work and as steve
dores. Disappointment was ex-
pressed by intelligent leaders
among the race who had hoped
that compulsory military service
would bring a certain measure OF
opportunity to serve in military
way. This disappointment has
been removed. Colored troops
have been used to certain extent,
as white troops have, for engineer
ing, construction and other wal
work. but they have also received
their share of military training
and have likewise had their Off
GERS training camps.
A correspondent in France re-
Gently told of a colored captain in
whose organization there was a
white lieutenant, the latter an ex-
newspaper reporter on New York
paper. The instance was cited as
showing the harmony in which
the races were able to work even
in such positions.

Have
a Monster Picnic

R Defiance park never saw
anything like 1t before In the way
OF picnic crowds.
Two picnics Sunday, one given
by 400 students OF the shipbuild-
ing school, with throngs of ship
yard workers as guests, the other
gwen by the navy men from
Bremerton, brought the total
number of pleasure seekers at
The park up to about $500.
1t was an old-fashioned picnic,
with an old-fashioned good time,
and there was plenty of music,
too. to make things lively all day
long. There were two big bands
in action-the Foundation ship
yard band, and the navy band
which the jackies brot with them
from Bremerton.
Five hundred gay picnickers
came from Bremerton on the
steamer Bailey Gatzert, and
among their number was Admi-
raj Coontz and Mrs. Coontz. The
navy band gave a big concert
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-06-03

from 4 to p. IN.
1t was great day for the
shouting kiddies. as we'll as for
the grown-ups.
The shipyard picnickers had as
their one speaker Lieut.. c. A..
Rexroad, chaplain of the 3l6th
trains and military police at
Camp Lewis. who outlined the
causes of the great war, told of
the Huns's pan-Germanic plans,
and of why America is in the
fight to finish. He brot the
crowd of shipyard workers to
their feet, cheering.
There has never been a larger
picnic assembly at the Point than
that of the shipyard workers and
navy men Sunday. says Superin-
tendent Hill.
Howard E. Gray, chairman Of
arrangements declared the gath
ering did a wonderful amount of
good in inspiring the men to do
their utmost to build the ships
that are to help win the war.
