A CORPSE

Although Idaho has been dry Tor
years and the nation Went dry on July
/, and national prohibition has been
adopted by many more than three
fourths Of the states in the Union, the
prohibition fight goes on and people
Z are raising money to fight 1.-THE de-
mon rum The newspaper. supported
by contributions from a gulllble pub
lie. which calls itself "The National
Issue" is still being published and
harangues the people on he problbl-
ton question. The long haired or
ators who have made a living by
fighting "the demon rum" cannot give
up the fight although the demon is
dead and the coroner and undertaken
have announced that he is practically,
physically and legally dead. 10 give
up the fight some of these orators
might have to find a new demon
to fight or, worse yet might nave to
90 to work, something they never did
and never will if it can be avoided
It was ever thus. We are told by
persons who remember the tight
against slavery, that years after the
civil war had closed and there was
not a slave in the United States, or
ators of the same stripe as those VINO
agitate dead issues now, went about
the country haranguing the people on
the slavery question. 1t is hard for a
fanatic on any subject to give up his
hobby. We remember, when a small
boy, of hearing an old farmer de-
scribe a political meeting in our
country school house, and ne said OF
the speakers: "They shuck the bloody
shirt and fit the war all over again"
The proh%ibitionists are shaking
the beer stained shirt" of the late la
menteed John Barleycorn and will be
fighting the war all over again
just as long as collections are suf-
ficient to pay travelling and living
expenses.

giving the boy on the farm something
to raise, p~ure-bred preferred, to hold
his interest, and that is excellent adj
vice to follow. He might add a sug-

him with it on his clothing and keep

Shipped to the Soviet,

DIT is, of course, intended to de-
liver the deportees to soviet Russia"
says immigration Commissioner
Caminetti, speaking of the shipload
of reds just sent out of this country.
That will not constitute a recogni-
tion of the soviet government by the
United States. 1t will be merely the
return to their land, into the hands
of the organization which at present
controls that land, of a certain group
of Russians who have been found
here conspiring against the peace of
the country and seeking the over
turn of this government. To hand
over a bunch of reds not wanted here
to the authorities who stand for the
land Of their birth does not in any
sense or degree imply that the United
States regards the soviet as worthy
Of acceptance. So-called Ambassador

The New Corporation Counsel.

In filling the position of corpora
ton counsel, left vacant by the resig-
nation of Mr. Syme, the Commission
.ers have acted with wisdom and
equity in promoting to the chief of
fee the assistant corporation counsel
Francis II. Stephens, who has been
associated with the legal work of the
District for fourteen years. Mr..
Stephens has served faithfully and
efficiently through successive admin
istrations of the office, and it is emf.
nently appropriate that he should
now be made its chief. His intimate
knowledge of the law affecting the
District government and his thor
ough acquaintance with the legal
practice in the handling of the prob
lens that from time to time arise in
the municipal operations make him
ideally equipped for this duty, which
it is the confident belief of all who
are familiar with the District build
ing situation he will discharge with
efficiency and success.

No Influenza in 1919.

In looking back over the year just
closing there is one fact that stands
out most eonspieuously as reason
for great gratitude The country has
been spared a return of the epidemic
that a year ago was just ending after
a terrible scourging of all sections
When the influenza outbreak waned
last winter there were many who felt
that it was sure to return this season.
With the exception of very few
cases, however, there have been no
signs of renewal. These few cases
have been so promptly treated that
the disease has not spread from them,
and for many weeks no sign of the
disease has appeared.
There is no adequate explanation
Of this peculiar wave of disease sweep
ing westward from the battletorn

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Old Doc. Public.
When the locomotive seems bit
rheumatic,
And to hit his former pace attempts
in vain;
When his habits, once so steady, grow
erratic,
And appear to hint at water on the
brain;
When aimlessly about he seems to
hurry,
And his old-time friends at him be-
gin to gibe,
they fiippantly remark, "Well, we
should worry!
Well call on old Doc. Public to pre-
SCRIBE"
When g coal mine gets a touch of
sleeping sickness,
With tendency toward talking in
his sleep,
The neighbors gather with surprising
quickness
With cure-alls that create a won
drous heap.
But none attain results we are desir-
ing,
And they say, "Iet's look the mat
ter in the face.
1t needs attention patient and un-
firing.
Well have to let Doc. Public take
the case"
By day or night they call for Doc. 8
attention,
With the gold cure to avert a ner-
vous chill;
They want the remedy, but scorn pre-
vention,
And they never think of asking for
his bill.
Each industry that feels a queer SEN
sation,
With something on its mind or on
its chest,
Will ring his doorbell without hesi-
tation
And old Doc. Public never gets a
rest.

The Seas and Sea Business.
This is from a London cable:

business booked far ahead. The cot
ton trade, one of the basic British
industries, is said to have all the or
ders it can fill for the next five years.
Shipbuilders say they are in the same
happy condition. They have yet to
be convinced that America will he
able to take away the former British
supremacy in the carrying trade. They
base their confidence on the belief
that while the British are a seafaring
race the Americans are not. Appar
emily they believe thM American
ships built in the war are destined &c
be bought eventually by distinctly
maritime nations. Their confidence
however. is not ironclad. Lord Inch
cape told the shareholders of one
Great Britain steamship company that
if the American government turned
over its ships to private owners, Great
Britain need not be afraid, but if the
American people were to be taxed
to build up their mercantile marine
the outlook for shipping industry in
the islands was anything but rosy"
Congress will soon take up the mer-
chant marine question, and when it
does we may expect very interest
ing discussion. Without merchant
marine, an overseas trade of any size
will be impossible; and some of our
calculations for the future are based
upon a very large overseas trade.
The accepted belief is that the trade
awaits us; but It is a patent fact that
in order to "go to it" we must have
a merchant marine of our own in sue
cessful operation.
Lord Ineheape thinks an unassisted
private ownership would fail. His
opinion is probably based upon the
fact that the highly successful British
merchant marine is assisted by the
British government. With that ad-
vantage, Great Britain, he seems to
think, would continue to top us as
sea carrying power.
If the Americans of the present
generation are not to be classed as
seafaring race, it is because pre-
vious generation abandoned sea traf-
fc for land improvement. That gen
Grafton built the great railroad lines,
and developed into states the rich
empire west of the Mississippi river.
But with our long Atlantic coast
line and our long Pacific coast line
to hearten us for the work, it is an
easy guess that, with other encour-
agement, we should soon regain our
prowess on the water, and become one
of the leading water-carriers of the
world.
The problem is up to Congress. A
policy must be worked out, and should
be put into operation as soon as pos
sible. The British shipbuilders and
owners are, as this cable states, in
high spirits. Their merchant fleets
are in being, and proftably employed.
They have business booked for years
ahead. They are formidable competi-
tors, with much experience and a
long period of prosperity to encour-
age their further, efforts.
1t will be goodly sight when the
Stars and Stripes again appears in the
harbors of the world flying from the
staffs of merchant ships, and signal
izing the return to the sea of Amer
lea as trading nation. At an earlier
day, and for long time, We cut a
creditable figure there, and can do it
now under policy devised to give
US an even chance for business.

frame of mind for the formation of the league of nations.
 These are only the important among the pr opoSals which we have to make As regards other great sacrifices and also as regards the details, the delegation refers to the accompanying memorandum and the annex thereto.
 The time allowed us for the prepara- tion of this memorandum was so short that it was impossible to treat the ques- tions exhaustively. A fruitful and il- dominating negotiation could only take place by means of oral discussion. rms treaty of peace is to be the greatest achievement of it's kind in all history There is no precedent for the conduct of such comprehensive negotiations by an exchange of written notes. Only the feeling of peoples who have made such immense sacrifices makes them demand that their fate should be decided by an open, unreserved exchange of ideas on the principles: Open covenants or peace openly arrived at, where no m ternational understandings of any kind, but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly to the public view
 PEACE TREATY SACRED NOW Germany is to put her signature to the treaty laid before her and to car ryit out Justice for her is too sacred A thing to allow her to stoop to achieve conditions which she cannot undertake e to carry out Treaties of peace signed by the great powers have, it Is true, in the history of the last decades have again and again proclaimed the right of the stronger. But each of these treaties of peace have been factor in originating and prolonging the world war. Whenever in this war the victor has spoken to the vanquished, at Brest- Litovsk and Bucharest, his words were but the seeds of future discord. The lofty aims which our adversaries f1rst set before themselves in their conduct of the war, the new era of an assured peace of justice, demand treaty in stinct with a different spirit.
 ''Only the cooperation of all nations, a cooperation of hands and spirits, can build up a durable peace. We are under no delusions regarding the strength of the hatred and bitterness which this war has engendered, and yet the forces which are at work for a union of mankind are stronger than ever they were before. The historic task of >the peace conference of Yer sailles is to bring about this union. Accept, MT. President, the express sion of my distinguished consideration. "BROCKDORFF-R -RANTZAU.'

"And They Launched
 Forth" h"-Dr. R. c. Baker

Before large congregation last night at the woodlawn Baptist church the pastor. Dr. c. Ross Baker. preached a forceful sermon, having for his text, And they launched forth Luke S:22. ,Dr. Baker said in part:
 The disciples of Jesus got into a ship and launched forth. It is simple enough matter to launch forth on quiet sea. Launching forth, however, is a most important enterprise. Be the voyage short or long. it means some- thing. Life is worth living if well be- gun and well pursued, no matter how long or brief it may be.
 The little barque of our life must De steered by a moral sense, or it Will go on the rocks. A vessel does not need to be water logged or rotten to be wrecked Many a sound ship has gone on the rocks. Bad steering is quite as dangerous as a bad craft. Many mag nificent specimen of humanity has drifted upon the breakers. Fale bea- cons have lured them on. A careless helmsman has wrecked the splendid bark. The storms of fleshIy lust, the typhoons of heresy are forever burst ing from the cloud One needs a steady hand and good heart to steer that bark safely amid all these dangers
 When the disciples launched forth. they had Christ in the ship. It will make vast difference to you in life's s voyage whether or not you have the Savior as an ever present friend. The great question which you need to de- eide is, is the Christ with you? Not a dead Christ, Christ of history, nor even Christ of theology, but living Savior, one in whom you believe; but more than that, one whom you can feel, whom you know guides you in all the great and small transactions of life.
 Have you Jesus in the vessel? Then you are safe. Sometimes we think the Lord has forgotten us. These disciples wondered why Jesus should sleep through such storm. They were af- frighted. They thought the ship was going down, and for ought I know, they thought the Savoir would go down with the rest of them. But He awoke in good time and saved the situation.
 "Oh, storm beaten Christian, how many times have you thought God had forgotten all about you? What wrong you did to your God. I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.' God sometimes let the storm rise high and threatening about us before He rises from his pill low; but he does not permit it to over whelm us. Once more I say to you, if Christ is in the ship, it is safe. It can not sink. It may rock and reel and groan, but it will never sink. If Christ is not in the ship, it is not safe. The house built on the rocks was beaten upon by the same storms as the one upon the sand; but it stood while the other fell The ship without Christ and the one with Christ will meet the same storm; but one will sink and the other outride every storm

Brief Account or Sermons
 Preached m Local Churches
Dr. McNeill Speaks
 on Christ's Leadership

How many of you would follow a leader who did not know where he would eat or sleep at night?" asked pr. John McNeill, pastor of the South South Highland Presbyterian church. in his morning sermon yesterday He was preaching from the text:
 And it came to pass that. as they went in the way, certain man said unto Him. Lord, will follow thee whithersoever thou goest." Luke s:57.
 And in verse 5S, And Jesus said unto him, foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man knows not where to lay his head"
 There were three kinds of men who said they would follow the Lord, the one who said right away that he would follow whithersoever the Lord lead; the man who asked that he be permit ted to bury his father. and the one who wanted to bid those at his house farewell
 The Lord is present today said Dr. McNeill. He is with you at every street corner, in every house, wherever you go. He is with you today just as much as He was with the people 2000 years ago. He bids you follow Him, but all sorts of excuses are given. One wants to bury the dead, another wants to say goodbye to his family, but the Lord accepts no excuses. He must come first of all.
 We are willing to follow a leader who is rich or prominent, or able to give us that which we want, but we do not wont to follow the leader who does not know where he is going to eat or sleep.
 q like to read that verse and think what the Lord said to those who want ed to bury the dead or bid farewell to their families" said pr. McNeill. "The ybook is silent, and I like to think it is silent because the Lord is waiting for your answer"
 He said one of these to whom the Lord was speaking might have been a lawyer, and he might have argued with himself that the Lord, not being popu- lar, but having strength, might in time reed an attorney general or a prime minister, and that by following him he would get the job.
 pr. McNeill will be installed as pastor of the South Highland Presbyterian church next Wednesday night at s o'clock.
