What the Uniform Means.

cd otalcS STANDS FOR, IS described
in forceful manner by Major A.
K, Kerwin, a man of many years
experience in the regular army who
is now commandant at the Uniyer-
sity OF Wisconsin. He makes it a
point to deliver a lecture on the
uniform to every company of ca.
diets in his command.
When the government places a
uniform on you it stamps you as a
man-physiCally, mentally, and
morally for ii is impossible for
you to get into the service without
having passed the high standards
required, j." he declares. The gov
ernment, by placing a uniform up
on you designateS you as a soldier
in whom it places implicit conf
dence. and it expects you to be
worthy of that trust. When you
wear uniform you are marked as
a man of courage, self-reliance.
self-respeCt, a man who has respect
for his superiors, who commands
the respect of his subordinates, and
as a disciplined man. The uniform
has always stood for these high
qualities, does so now, and will al
ways do so.
| would impress upon you the
fact that you should never fail to
exemplifythesehigh qualities which
the uniform represents. Be proud
of your uniform, and never let it
stand for more than YOU Yourself
will demonstrate by your conduct.
Many of you young men have
never thought of these things in a
serious way until the entry into the
great war by your country. When
YOU get into the uniform of sol
dier YOU have taken upon yourself
a responsibility that you never be-
fore enjoyed, that you in civilian
life never gave an order to any
body, that you never exercised any
degree of authority, and | know
you never had such a staunch back
er or supporter as YOU will have
when your great country stands be
hind You and upholds YOU II the
legitimate performance of our duty.
You should realize that when
your government picks you out and
places uniform on you, you have
been elevated to a higher plane of
duty; that you not only are re
quired to obey the laws, but that
YOU have assumed the additional
duty of executing them; that you
have become a part and parcel of
your great country and have been
selected as one of her champions;
that you will stand by her under
all circumstances. The uniform
stands for self-denial. the sacrifc-
ing of your personal rights for the
benefit of your whole country.
Last but not least the uniform
of the United States army stands
for democracy. In our army. in the
same ranks the rich man, the poor
man, the college athlete, the sChol-
ar are standing shoulder to shoul-
der, with the single common
thought and purpose duty to their
country. They are absolutely on a
single plane OF equality, no one
better than the other They wear
the same uniform, they sleep in the
same kind of barracks, they occupy
the same kind of bunk, they eat
the same kind of food, and in fact
their whole military life is identical.
one with the other. What more
could be done to break down
class distinctions
Il am certain that when this war
is over you will be proud of tn
fact that you wore a uniform aud
that you were participant in the

SALOONS In COUNTY Or
DERED CLOSED SUNDAYS.
Complaint Made to Governor Philip
of Violation of Sunday Closing Law
Results in Placing Of Lid"


A new lid" which gives prom
ise of being permanent was placed
on the saloons in Hurley and other
towns in the county last Saturday
when saloonkeepers were ordered
to keep their places of business
closed all day Sunday. Sheriff Max
Menestrena, Chief of Police James
Collins in Hurley and constables in
other towns in the county carried
out the closing order in accordance
with instructions given by District
Attorney Marion F. Reid, who re-
ceived letter from the office of
Attorney General Spencer Haven
last Friday evening asking the dis.
triCt attorney, upon request of the
governor, to see to it that the
saloons are closed Sundays. The
attorney general was prompted to
issue this request through a COM
plant having been made to him
and to the governor that the sa-
looms in Hurley are running twen-
ty.four hours a day and every day
in the week.
Following is copy of the letter
received by District Attorney Mar
ion F. Reid:
The State of Wisconsin
Office of Attorney General
Madison
Jan. 30, 1918.
Marion F. Reid, Esq,
District Attorney,
Hurley, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir
Complaint has come to this Office
Tand to Governor Philip that the sa-
looms in Hurley are running twenty
four hours day and every day in the
week; that they stay wide open Sun
days, and this, too, at time when all
of the legitimate businesses of the
state are closing in accord with the
federal fuel administration order on
secular days of the week in order to
conserve fuel.
After consultation with Governor
Philip he has requested that write
you regarding the closing of the sa-
looms in Hurley on Sunday, and re-
quiring them to obey the laws of the
state the same as elsewhere.
l am Informed that you were re-
quested to do something about closing
saloons on Sunday, that you agreed to
order them closed, but that you ex-
pressed the belief that it would do no
good, that you did order them closed
on Sunday, but that following your
order they remained open last Sunday
as usual.
T.
|, therefore, ask you, upon the re-
quest of the governor. to see to it that
these saloons are closed Sundays y y
Any assistance this office can rem
der you in these matters will be glad
ly performed.
Yours truly,
Spencer Haven,
Attorney General.

That part of the complaint which
says that the saloons in Hurley
have been running twenty-four
hours day and every day in the
week is obviously a misstatement
of facts. Anyone familiar with CON
ditions here knows that for a mum
Der of years the Hurley saloons
have closed at II O'Clock every
night and have been closed Sunday
forenoon until IL O'Clock. The
Sunday opening hours have been
from IL O'Clock noon until II
O'Clock at night. during which time
the front doors have been locked,
entrance being gained through
side door.
