GOOD Il DORMANT.
The worst drug addict in this
city or any other city. although
an undesirable citizen when un-
der the influence of drugs. is in
possession of many good traits
that are made dormant by the
narcotics.
There are many times that he
realizes that he is acting in
manner that is contrary to his
conception of right. but his will
power has been so weakened that
he cannot turn back.
The more he realizes his de
pravity. the less he desires to
live.
He sees himself as a burden to
the community in which he lives.
He believes. because of the ex-
aggeration of the sufferings which
accompany a cure" of the habit
as advanced by many physicians.
that he can never free himself of
the horrible condition.
He is ashamed to face his former
friends.
He realizes that he is bringing
disgrace upon his parents.
Life becor-es unbearable to him.

all"
FINALLY LOSES HOPE.
Finally this frame of mind COM
pletely controls him, and he is
sooner or later found dead.
A human life has been sacrificed,
where. under proper treatment, it
could have been saved.
The persons who supplied him

His life was a continual civil
war-One part of his soul want

by deadening drugs.

Washington, Jan. 10,-Purchase
by the government of all liquor
supplies of the country will be rec
commended by President Harding
soon at a joint congressional COM

Sam buy all the liquor now bonded
in warehouses which totals about
35 900, 600 gallons and can be
bought at an estimated cost of $780,
100000. The treasury department

WITHDRAWAL
OF SOLDIERS
ANNOUNCED
Great Britain VIII Take
Troops From Ireland
Preparing For 'irish Free
State"

London, Jan. 10.-While the Dali
in Dublin continued to stumble
along yesterday, blocked and de
layed by De Valera's theoretical OBJ
jections to settling up a provisional
government, Winston Churchill was
busy completing arrangements by
which England will surrender the
Irish government to the executives
Of the new irish free state.
All day the colonial minister held
conferences at Downing Street, and
it was announced that 100000 troops
will be Withdrawn from Ireland
within month. The majority OF
these will be sent to overseas garri-
sons.
1t is learned from source close
to Sir Hamar Greenwood that the
British government intends to re-
lease at once all Irish political
prisoners now in jails in England
including Frank Fitzgerald, brother
of Desmond Fitzgerald, the Sim
Fein minister of propaganda.
This action has long been await
ed by the relatives Of the hundreds
of men who have been arrested in
the past three years. Hundreds OF
petitions have been received al
Downing Street since the peace
treaty was signed urging amnesty
1t is understood that Winston
Churchill intends to invite Arthur
Griffith and Michael Collins to Lon
don Immediately to discuss the best
means for handing over the Irish
government. 1t is learned reliably
that the two leaders will be made
members of the kings Irish privy
council for conduct of imperial af-
fairs affecting Ireland.
The king anticipates with eager
ness the opportunity OF meeting
them at the first session of the
council.

MR., GRIFFITH
IS SELECTED
AS PRESIDENT
Unanimously Chosen by
Dali Eireann TO Succeed
De Valera as a Leader of
Irish.

Dublin, Jan. 10.-Arthur Griffith
was unanimously elected president by
the Dali Eireann. He was foreign
minister under De Valera. He was
chosen head of the provisional gov
ernment TO arrange establishment of
the Irish Free State" Whether
Griffith also will assume the presi-
dency of the Irish republic will be
threshcd out by the Dali later.
AS a protest against Griffith, the
De Valera followers left the Dali
council chambers. The Dali approv-
ed the cabinet Griffith presented.
The debate between De Valera and
Griffith enlivened the proceedings
at the opening of the Dail's session.
Griffith, speaking leader of the ma
jority, answered De Valera's objec-
ton that the Dali coUld not act
save as parliament of the Irish re-
public, by saying "We'll maintain
order and continue the Dali until
the people have decided
De Valera insisted that the Dali
must cease to function unless a re-
public is maintained.
The cabinet chosen follows: Min
lister of finance, Michael Collins;
foreign affairs, Gavin Duffy; home
affairs, Duggan; local government,
William CosgrOVe: economics. O.

Washington, Jan. 1O.-All sug-
gestions for limitation of military
aircraft were thrust aside as i'm

committee of the arms conference,
the following resolution being adopt
ed:
"The committee is of the opinion
that it is not at present practicable
to impose any effective limitations
upon the numbers of characteristics
OF aircraft, either commercial or
military
At the same time agreement was
reached on the creation of mixed
commission of experts and jurists to
take up at some future time study
of the rules of warfare in their ap-
plicatiOn to aerial operations. The
exact wording of the resolution to
this end, including the specific mis-
sion Of the commission and just how
the body was to be constituted, was
left to the drafting committee.
Follows SUBJ Committee Report.
The resolution declaring aircraft
limitation impracticable at this time
follows closely the language of the
report of the subcommittee 1t was
changed, however, to eliminate an
exception to lighter-than-a craft

committee discussion making it clear
that the delegations were agreed
:. that the argument against restrict
DING aircraft development because OF
the wide possibilities the future
may hold for commercial aviation,
applied both to airplanes and dirigi-
bles.

mittee conclusion was the insertion

have respect for God and the Bible.
Children who grow up without
respect for authority in the homes,
schools, and other places usually
make men and women who have no
respect for the laws of the land or

If our officers want the respect
of the people, then they must be

Second prize, written by Pat Hud-
dleston of the West Side school:
Good Citizenship.
The mere definition for good citi-
zenship is the act of being a good
citizen. This includes law abiding,
willing to work, offer assistance,
be grateful to those who help you
and be a good neighbor.
Be a willing, active member of
your family, play fair, be indus
trious in school and faithful to
Divine worship, have gratitude to
God and be as Phillip Nolan, the
man without a country, told in his
speech, For your country, boy, and
for that flag; never dream a dream
but of serving her as she bids you
remember behind all these things
you have to deal with, there is your
country to deal with and obey the
laws Of
A good citizen will anticipate
the needs of Others, help when ask
ed and be faithful attendant at
school.
The knights of old were good
citizens, because they obeyed their
king. Uphold your state and by no
means ever violate the laws of your
country and be as George Washing
ton, First in war, first in peace
and first in the heart OF your coun-
trymen."
Think that all men are born equal
and no man has privilege rights,
and cooperate with your teacher
in school. Obey the school laws.
A good citizen will love his coun-
try as he loves his parents and go
where they send him and show re-
spect for older people and their
property.
Many years ago when our coun-
try was thinly settled there were
few good citizens. Every man was
for himself and thought nothing
about the rights of others. Many
people today are the same way,
that is, show no respect for other
peoples property-they are not good
citizens.
A good citizen will tell the truth
in every case and never touch Ii
quor, and play the game of life fair,
be responsible for his own mistakes
and contribute to state, city or ma
tional funds; do as your country
bids you and do it willingly.
A good citizen is based upon prin-
ciples and not appearance and he
will do his share in the world and
trust in God.
Money does not make a good citi-
zen, but principles do.
"Honor" should enter into
the thoughts of every man who
wishes to be good citizen. The
definition for honor is truth, high
morals, good principles and respect
for other peoples property.
Patriotism also is a trait
of good citizenship This means
love and have respect for your coun-
try. Anyone with honor and pa
triotism is a good citizen These
are the traits of honor and pa
triotism: willing, active member OF
the family, one who is willing to
help, one who is grateful and re-
sponsible, one who is a good neigh
Dor and ready for service, one who
