lishment of additional through freight
routes and service from the Middle
west to the South Atlantic ports:
Second, to prepare a program which
will remove the dissemination in in
land freight rates now existing against
certain cities in the South Atlantic
states; Third, to formulate a program
for the continuance of the present ex-
port freight rates from the Middle
west to the South Atlantic, which may
be cancelled when the railroads are
returned to corporate control; Fourth,
to secure the establishment of a
branch office of the department of
commerce for the South Atlantic
states.
In issuing this call for a confer
ence, Matthew Hale, who is also pres
ident of the South Atlantic Maritime
Corporation, said: In order that the
South may claim her own in foreign
trade and that the vision of southern
statesmen may be realized, it is es-
sential that the. unused rail facilities
available for western traffic be util-
lied immedia tely. The establishment
of new export freight rates from the
west and the establishment of regular
steamship Service from the South At
lantic ports, give the opportunity to
establish also these additional through
freight routes and to abolish the dis
elimination in inland freight rates.
and recognize the principle that the
South Atlantic states are entitled to
a share of the nations commerce"
1t was through cooperative action
OF the same nature and under the same
leadership that these export freight
rates and regular steamship service
from the South Atlantic ports to
Latin America were obtained. Since
the entire railroad rate situation and
general railroad policies are in state
Of flux, a program to accomplish these
desired ends must be formulated i'm
mediately in order that the situation
will crystalize in favor Of the public
interests of the South Atlantic.
Since this freight rate situation ef-
fects every manufacturer and pro-
ducer in the South Atlantic states, a
large delegation of these rnanufac-
turers and producers is expected at
Greensboro. as well as a large dele
cation of traffic men.

could be obtained from the commits
sary. In 1890, Congress passed an
enactment which prevented any future
appointment in the position of post
trader and terminated the authority
for making such appointments. In
1892, and order was published which
stated that the institution designated
as post canteen would hereafter be
exchanges still kept light wines and
beer for sale. Under the Act of Feb
ruary 2, 1901, reorganizing the army,
the sale OF or dealing in beer, wine,
or any Intoxicating liquors by any
person in any post exchange or can
teen or army transport, or upon any
premises used for military purposes
by the United States was prohibited.
This closed the career of old John
Barleycorn' and his numerous rela-
tives in the army.
The army was IS years ahead of the
country at large in espousing the
cause of total abstinence. There were
various arguments, pro and con, pro-,
duced, and various reasons given for
the enactment of this law. 1t was
claimed that the army, not being
voters. We're helpless and that the dry
experiment had to be tried on some
body so they tried it on the army.
Some argued that it would produce bad
results as it would do away with the
privilege of our men obtaining a mod
crate amount of light beers or wines
at reasonable price and force them to
the dives and resorts just off the
military reservations where they could
become dissipated and debauched by
rotgut whiskey.
Time has proven that the step was
a correct one. The army has become
cleaner and healthier morally, men
tally and physically. Prohibiting the
sale of liquors of any sort in the army
was the first great step towards ma
tionaI prohibition in this country and
was the first real victory for the dry
cause The moral welfare of our SOL
diers has received more attention in
recent years than formerly. The army
endeavors to instill the principles of
good citizenship, respect for govern
ment and law and order into the minds
of the soldiers. They endeavor TO give
him healthy. clean surroundings and
to keep him from going wrong by
keeping temptation out of his way.
Liquor was found to be a detriment
mentally, morally, and physically, it
lessened the value of our soldiers to
the government and put temptation in
their way, so the temptation was re-
moved.
The army may congratulate itself
upon the fact that the entire country
has followed its lead in this matter.
1t is one of the finest tributes, in
my Judgment, which has ever been
paid to the army. The whole United
States has TO this extent been militar-
lied, if YOU choose to so call it. but
ii is rnilitarism of the finest sort.

HARD LUCK"

Ain't no use, as ] can see, In sittin' underneath tree An growlin that your luck IS bad, An that your life is extra sad; Your life ain't sadder than your
 neighbor's, Nor any harder are your labors; It rains on him the same as you, An he has work he hates to do; An he gifts tired an he gifts cross, An he has trouble with the boss; You can take his whole life through
 and through, Why, he's no better of than you. If whinin brushed the clouds away, I wouldn't have a word to say; If it made good friends out O foes, I'd whine bit, too, suppose; But when look around an see A lot O" men resemblin' me, An see 'em sad, an see 'em gay, With work t do most every day, Some full O fun, some bent with
 care,
 Some havin' troubles hard to bear, i reckon, as 1 count my woes, They're bout what everybody knows, The day find man who'll say He's never known rainy day, Who'll raise his hat right up an
 swear
 In forty years he's had no care, Has never had single blow, An never known one touch of woe. Has never seen loved one die, Has never wept or heaved sigh, Has never had plan go wrong, But allus laughed his way along; Then I'll sit down an start to whine That all the hard luck here is mine.
