DEMANDS REPEAL OF
WARTIME DRY LAW
SABBATH, OF ILLINOIS, LEADER
IN CONTEST BEGUN IN CON-
GRESS. "UNDEMoCRATIC."

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Repeal of
wartime prohibition was provided
for in resolution introduced in the
house today by Representative Sa-
bath, of Illinois. 1t was pointed out
that the president had removed the
prohibition against the manufacture
of beverages from grains because it
was no longer necessary as a war
measure.
The SABBATH resolution affirms that
the reasons for the wartime prohi-
billion provisions have also passed,
since there is no longer need of con-
serving the man power of the nation
and increasing the efficiency in the
manufacture of arms, munitions,
ships, food and clothing for the army
and navy, if, indeed, such need
ever existed
Fears Delay Will Cause Harm.
The delay in the repeal of the act,
1t was stated, may cause untold dam
age and harm to thousands of citi-
zens, who, under the supervision of
the government, have invested large
sums of money in the liquor business.
The resolution stated that the gov
eminent would lose in estimated rev.
enue up to January 16, 1920, near
ly S500,000,000, and in addition,
would be obliged to refund taxes
paid to the government on goods
withdrawn from bonded warehouses
amounting to nearly $15O,000,000.

Speaking OF the large appropriations

a prominent state official and devout
member Of the church Friday morning

suggested the pastor overlook the
breach Of church discipline.
There is brewing another battle over

necessities for the protection of the

as the scrap is concerned. they are
men astute in the game Of politics.

THE Law OF GOOD FORTUNE,

81 am myself good fortune"
This line, by Walt Whitman, il the expression
|cf an optimist.
It il Of man who assumes himself = part Of
al nature every animate and inanimate thing.
That all nature is good, and to be part Of
It is good fortune.
The universe Is the supply and exhibition tenn
pie of nature in al her expressions.
She gratifies man in the way of food and
clothing for his body from the fields; she graft
fies hts sense Of beauty in the numberless UNI
folding flowers Of spring, in the trees, the hills,
the sky, the sea, the moon and the starry night.
Mans only restriction to his part in all of ma
lures gifts IS himself!
His restriction is self-restriction when he in
his greed assumes that he is all of nature rather
than just part of it; when he breaks natures
laws and sets up laws unto himself.
Man In his fear denies himself by denying
others the right to participate that falsifies
the balance by deceit, imposes upon others by
contact or commits acts of revenge born of hate.
Man then becomes misfortune.
Man, true man. is favored part of nature
as an aid in natures expression Of herself.
That man must give in order to aid in distri-
button. is natures law Of compensation and
which controls all social, business, political and
individual affairs.
TO refuse to aid is to restrict nature in her
bounties and results in the elimination of those
who refuse.
& Mans misfortune is in his failure to partici-
|pate In natures schame of things, to refuse to
obey her law, the law of good fortune.
Nature has never ending series of tests and
inspsctions. 49,
She seeks and finds all our weaknesses and is
ever trying us to the breaking point.
She rewards the strong by many and severe
trials.
She is loud in her warnings and hard in her
chastenings.
She brings sorrow as contrast and to in
tensify Joy.
She knows neither revenge nor pity.
This is birth, life and death, but it is all the
cycle Of the universe. For death is but disin-
Etegration and decay-the birth bed of new life.

THE HOPE OF REWARD.

The world is getting better because we who
comprise it are finding that it pays to conduct
our social and business life honestly and do our
individual tasks. we'll efficiently.
The world i getting better just 20 the degree
that we learn the true reward Of honesty and eff
ficiency. ~
There is for illustration the discourteous, I'M
efficient employee Of the public or semi public
institution.
We report him with the idea Of his reprimand
|or discharge, and to instil the fear of punish
|ment In oilers who might incline to discourtesy
and inefficiency.
We are all more apt to do those things which
we should do and refrain from doing those things
we should not do by the hope of reward rather
than through the fear Of punishment.
Here Il in part . letter by the president Of q
big concern Of Pittsburg to ifs customers and
which illustrates the thought:
ssWhile complain Is important, yet all Of us
would be as quick to compliment when compli-
ment is deserved.
'1f any Of our individual statesmen or delivery
men are unusually courteous or efficient, why,
let me know It 50 that L may offer the proper en-
enlargement and reward
81 win know those deserving Of complaint soon
enough, but might never find the fellow de-
serving Of reward unless am told Of him.
81 think II al Of us in business would be as
quick to compliment IS to kick-why this would
be GOOD deal better business world"
The price Of administering reward il greater
than that Of punishment as . matter Of first
cost, but the final economy and profit is greater
in providing true incentive to more and better
effort and free from the weakening influence Of
fear.
