trained as executives and did not know how to
handle men. Many Of them took their new
duties too seriously and set out to administer
discipline with severity that was in direct pro-
portion often to their executive ignorance. They
tried to make the live up to the letter of the
law with an utter disregard of its spirit. This
does not say that young officers were entirely
to blame, because some of the finest flowers of
American manhood were to be found among
these men. Their mistakes were not made in
tentionaly and the fault, as indicated before is
to be found in the court-martial law itself, which
permits the infliction of the penalties that were
assessed.
Discipline is absolutely necessary in the mill
tary establishment. When thousands of men
are congregated in vast camps, strict rules must
be set up and violations must be punished. The
present court-martial law, seemingly has drawn
fire not only from civilians but also from the
army itself, for the willingness of the military
establishment to cooperate with the civilian
committee indicates that the military leaders
have concluded that the law needs thorough
overhauling.

When did First
1avern Open Its
Doors I'm City,?

one hundred and seven years ago.
when Richmond could hardly be called
even settlement, the first tavern was
opened here, and from that time the
city was noted for the number and So
claolllty of its places of entertainment.
Philip Harter opened the first tav-
ern on South Pearl street, now South
Fifth, and he was followed In a few
months by Jonathan Bayles with THE
Sign of the Green Tree" at Fifth and
Main, and Ephraim Lacey opened one
about the same time at Fouth and
Main.
Ezra Boswell was the hardy soul
who started the first real saloon in
1913. He sold beer and cakes, and en-
couraged chess-playing.
christian Bull started a tavern
west OF Whitewater near the National
road bridge, shortly afterwards.
Patrick Just was the most prosper
Gus OF these early tavern keepers. His
place was at the extreme east end of
town, at Eight and Main. He made so
much money that an early and inform
al income commission made I'D of citi
zens set his prices for him. They are
very interesting now.
For meals he got 1871 cents; lodg-
ing. Ga cents; whiskey, half pint, 6H
cents; brandy, 121a cents; strong beer
per quart, rs cents; imported brandy,
rum and wines, half pint, SO cents;
Keeping horse for night with good
feed, SO cents; with hay only, Is cents,
for one feed 1919 cents.

Something For Nothing

Since creations dawn mankind has tried to
get something for nothing.
The savage wants to live without hunting and
fishing. The barbarian wants to become wealthy
by robbing and stealing and, alas, thousands of
civilized men hope to become rich by investing
a few dollars in wild cat schemes or by appro-
priating through Bolshevist movement the saw
ings of other people.
We cannot escape the law of nature that man
must work to obtain his livelihood Idleness
never brought a golden reward Neither does
dependency on another lead to success.
Men prosper in direct proportion to their
hard work. The Socialists, the l. w. W. and the
Bolshevists might just well recognize this
principle now as later, and the gambler and plung-
er need not deceive themselves into believing
that fortune favors those who trust in blind
chances
A lucky man. nine times out of ten is hard
working man" The exceptions are so few that
they are negligible, but your gambler and Boil
shevist hold up these few exceptions as proof
of the fallacy. There are no miracles in the fin
ancal and industrial world. Something cannot
be produced out of nothing. If you do not want
to put hard brain and physical labor into your
task, you will not be success. The sure winner
always is the hard worker That is the verdict
Of history.

Good Evening"!
ELEvATING THE DRAMMER
By ROY x. MOULTON


II the conductorette Is busy with a
pad and pencil and fails to stop her
car when you want to get off, treat
her gently. She is writing play. II
the barkeep stands with his back to
you for twenty minutes when you are
in a hurry to catch a train, do not dis
turb his muse. He would like to have
you think he is adding up the days
takings, but he isn't. He is busy on
the second act of his play.
The teamsters are writing plays
while waiting at corners for traffic
signals, and the BARRIERS are jotting
down ideas on the shaving paper be-
tween strokes of their razors.
The other day, when a street car
ran off the track and down an en-
bankment, fifteen amateur playwrights
got their manuscripts all mixed up,
and the public is going to have some
trouble in getting the run OF the plots.
These plays will probably be called
"revues," which start nowhere and end
three miles further down the road.
Between the writing Of plays, and
even during the writing of them, peo-
pie follow many professions and
trades. So long as he is writing a
play, the average man doesn't care
what he does on the side to make q
living. There is even one man who
drives a hearse in the afternoon and
writes on his play mornings and even
ings.
Whenever a person can't find any
thing else to do, he takes off his coat,
tightens up his belt and says: "Well,
l guess I'll write play"
An average of 385 authors are writ
ing plays on the same subject The
next 1856 are at the same time writing
plays on another subject the two sub
jects being different in tina in one of
them the husband fools the wife and
in the other the wife fools the hus-
band.
Out of a possible 2946,465 plays
written every year S7,465 of them are
read by producers, 465 are accepted
for production, 65 are produced and
five last more than two weeks.
But it's a great game, and just as
profitable as gadding the streets.
Secretary Baker says the thing for
everybody to do is to go to work. And
he should have added that everybody
should work after they get there.
