THE DUTY OF A MAN

THERE are duties we'll privileges
= of citizenship, as those young men who
have become of age since June of last
year are discovering today.
Voting is sometimes called a privilege,
but 1t is the duty of every qualified elector
Fighting is sometimes called a du-N, but
an occasion has arisen in which it is the
high privilege of all those capable of bear
ing arms.
But whether the you,h who must regis
ter for military service today regards it as
q privilege or a duty. there is no excuse
for avoiding it. He must go to the pre-
ocribed place of registry near his home
between the hours of I in the morning
and g in the evening and place his name
on the rolls. If he is i'll and cannot go he
must send a representative to act for him.
Failure to register is a misdemeanor de-
fined by law. But If the law did not so
describe it, the conscience of every other
youth would so indict the saCkers.

Liberis's Philatelic Hoodoo

The Republic of Liberia has a philatelic
hoodoo in the person of its President, Danlel
Howard whose portrait has been kept by the
fortunes of war from appearing on the post

At the time the world war began the postal
adhesiyes of Liberia conta ined the picture OF
ex-President Barclay. Apparently this dis
tressed the dignity of President Howard and
he ordered printed at Hamburg, Germany.
a new series of stamps portrayng his own
honored likeness,
These stamps were printed as directed and
a German steamship started southwark car
rying the labels in its cargo. This was late
in July 1914. In August came the days of
the beginning of the downfall of the Hohen-
zollerns and the German ship with the new
Liberia stamps had not reached her destina-
ton British warshps intercepted the vessel
and took her a prize of war to Sierra Leone.
Here the examination of the cargo disclosed
the presence of the Liberian stamps, but as
they were addressed to a German agent in
Liberia and not to President Howard there
was apparently no way of knowing-so the
British reasoned-whether President Howard
had actually made payment for the stamps
or whether the labels still belonged to the
German Government.
So the British conhscated the labels Presi-
dent Howard, learning of it, decided to play
safe the next time by ordering some stamps
printed in England instead of Germany
Again were adhesives prepared once more
bearing the Liberia executives portrait This
time a British merchant ship started forth
with them. A German torpedo intercepted
this vessel which went to the bottom of the
sea with the consignment of stamps bearing
President Howard's portrait.
Presumably President Howard was by this
time discouraged for instead of again order
ing new stamps made his Government began

.MR. JUSTICE BUDD" SOUNDS WELL

THE suggestion of Henry Budd as the
- Democratic candidate for one of the
vacancies. on the Supreme Court bench
ought to commend itself to the bar Of the
state. Mr.. Budd is a lawyer Of character
and distinction. He would honor the bench.
It is the intent of the Constitution that
when two vacancies in the Supreme Court
are filled at one election a Republican and
4 Democrat shall be elected, for it prov .CIes
that under such circumstances a voter
may cast his ballot for only one candidate
OF his own party. This arrangement, un.
less frustrated by Republican trickcry
would give the election to the Democratic
candidate. Indeed if the two Republican
factions should nominate separate candi-
dates one running as Republican and the
other under some trumped-up party name to
evade the constitutional prohibition, or even
both running as Republicans, Democratic
candidate of the character of Mr. Rudd
would have good chance of election. The
state can contemplate his promotion to
the bench with satisfaction.
