LEST WE FORGET
By WILLIAM H. BAwDEN
EXPERIENCE.


1t was Oliver Wendall Holmes who
reminded us that experience is like
the rear light carried by ships at sea,
shedding light over the course just
made. but afording no light on what
lies ahead. 1t is only by wise infer
ence that our experience will help us
shape our future course. And yet
how few of us profit by u expert
ence!
Here we are, just emerging from a
most disastrous war, brought on by
an unchecked militarism. Across the
waters there have been assembled
now for some months the representa-
tives of almost all the nations of the
world, both large and small. Their
task has been not only to make peace,
but to oct 1t in such a way as to
make 1t permanent. To do this the
policy of the nations must be revers-
ed. A new international law has had
to be set up, which has found express
sion in the proposed League of Ma
tons. Yet there are those in TINS
country who would throw away the
lessons learned by bitter experience,
who are opposing the scheme propos-
ed for making any such war in the
future impossible.
Even if America had not entered
the war, we could not avoid being
more or less involved in il. 1t has
AAAROo1o q NhlAlN VII 10 W WhlCh We
had not been accustomed and which
proved very irksome at times. In
order to win ourselves, in order to
help others to win, We were compelled
to impose on ourselves thrifty prac-
tees which were new to us. This
was a very wholesome thing, unless
we entirely forget the lesson. For war
or no war, we still should be thrifty.
The needless and senseless waste prac-
ticed by Americans, in public and
private life alike, does shame to our
Am~ericanism. Now hat the war is
over, shall we throw to the winds the
lesson SO hardly learned?
One outstanding lesson Of the war,
If indeed it is not the greatest, has
been the value OF cooperation. With
out this spirit, both within the va
rious nations fighting for liberty and
also on the part of the nations allied
together for victory, the wal would
not have been won. But cooperation
means the giving up of some of our
Independence of thought and action,
which is difficult for Americans. In
our various communities, in our null
tiform departments of human en-
deavor, shall we continue each for
n by himself, or shall we plan and
work together? Again, 1t is a ques-
ton of remembering what we have
learned.
And hnally, the more We learn of
how the war was won, the more i'm
pressed we cannot help being that
the hand of God was Enthusiastically in
the victory. The stars in their course
were fighting for us in behalf of
righteousness n liberty, of truth and
justice. Shall We continue living,
then, as if there were no God, with no
reference to his will for us, no re-
gard for his day, his truth? Again
1t is within our privilege to profit by
Experience.

FOR 2.75 BEER

WASHINGTON, April T. Revenue
stamps for beer containing ? 81 per
cent. Of alcohol Will not be sold by
revenue collectors, pending receipt Of
an opinion from Attorney General
Palmer as TO whether the government
should permit the brewing of such
beer, considering It, near beer, which
may be manufactured under a Presi-
DENTAL proclamation. Palmers opinion
is expected soon by Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper.
The Revenue Bureaus attitude, as
explained tonight by officials, is that it
cannot afford TO accept tax on the
, "a per cent. product, which it con-
siders at present. OF doubtful legality.
These Oif0cials said The question had
not been presented formally TO them,
although protests had been received
from breweries at Syracuse, \. Y. that
the revenue collector there had refused
to sell stamps for such beer.
The collectors action had not been
officially recorded here. The brewers
were told that the bureau had reached
no final decision as to whether the
of the beer should be per-
mitted.

MCCOY HOLDS TO
SHOOTING STORY

The Stale and local authorities are
puzzled over the apparent Indifference
Of William C.. Mccoy, Iof No. $40 West
Seventh street, who is being held at the
workhOuse on a charge OF numbering
his wife. Mccoy has maintained that
the shooting was accidental and while
questioned at length by the police he
has not showed any signs OF breaking
down.
Some persons who knew Mccoy when
he lived at odessa a few years ago,
say he was peculiar at times.
