Sanitary Drinking

Congress done the sensible thing in passing the bill
which would eliminate that HANGOVER OF THE PRoHI-
BITIoN ERA, the hidden bar
Despite all the misrepresentation to which the bill
subjected by those who wanted this hypocca
and dangerous monsrosiy, the is its way to
the White House.
Washngtonan who believe in preservation of the public
health the maintenance of decent standards of sanitation
hope and expect President Roosevelt to sign the
regulation which requires that all drinks be prepared
and mixed concealment has resulted in giving to the
enclature of the age the mile long cherry and the ere
peating olive
And while it is conceded that THE MORE REPUTABLE
ESTABLISHMENTS DISPENSING DRINKS HAVE BEEN
METICULoUs IN PRESERVING HIGH STANDARDS
there has been persistent and apparently justified complaint
that CHIsELERs taking advantage of the regulation
foist cheap and bad drinks upon unsuspectng customers
Naturally this situation has given the cheer the advan
tage and he has been able to cut under those who observed
health regulations and respected their patrons.
When it proposed to remedy this THOROUGHLY UN
WHOLESOME CONDITION by bringing the bartender out
into the opep the cry went up that it proposal to re-
turn to the oldfashioned saloon.
The cry might have had justification if it not
for the fact that the bars will remain service bars and that
NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED TO DRINK AT THE BAR

by The Washington Times, is HEALTH MEASURE AND
TEMPERANCE MEASURE.

One Minus One EQUALS Zero

Mr. Rooseves amazing ability wreck Of his finest
and most praewory projects by adopting impossible methods
Of carrying them has seldom been better illustrated than
in his program for aiding American youth.
Everybody in the country wants to aid youthwants to
see it educated, wants to see it get jobs
The President with this laudable am will spend fifty
million dollars chiefly to persuade industry to give jobs to
young men and young women.
Industry would be 'tckled pink" to give them jobs
It's greatest wish is to PRODUCE AND SELL ENOUGH
to do that.
But cannot give jobs make jobs when almost every
activity of the Government is directed toward RUNNING
dustry and hence toward DESTROYING jobs.
You can't with hand, put to work when with the
other hand them from getting work But that is
precisely what the Government is trying to do.
So think it is fair statement that Mr. Roosevelts
splendid plan to help youth to find employment going to be
defeated by Mr. Rooseves own policy of employ
people likely to bring them disappointment and bitterness

skillful, can give any answer but ZERO

The actual strength of the
Army has been raised from
10000 to 165, 1000 enlisted men.
The number of cadets at West
Point has been increased from
1,347 to 1919.
This week the President hopes
to sign the Army promotion bill
which will end Stagnation in
Army promotions and do more
to raise the morale of the Army
than any legislative measure
enacted in recent years has
done.
Under the four-army organiza.
ton plan. the Army has been or
gained on a tactical basis. All
Army commanders are now held
responsible for the development
of suitable plans for defending
the Stragetic regions they COM
mand.
The creation of the General
Headquarters Air Force has been
completed. Congress has only to
make the necessary appropria-
tionS for aircraft to bring the
Army Air Force to the strength
required by our established
military policy.
Toward the mechanization
and motorization of the Army
in all its branches, Congress has
finally made the first appropria-
ton necessary to start this
urgently needed improvement.
Both Democrats and Republi-
cans have adjourned politics
long enough to enact this legis-
lative program since the present
Administration came to power.
A few Democrats and a few
Republicans have opposed this
program upon the ground that
to be unprepared to repel attack
was better defense than to be
prepared.
CONVINCING
Such a minority apparently
the country always has to
reckon with. When Theodore
Roosevelt was President, his
efforts to build up the National
Defense were opposed by
minority that advocated un-
preparedness for war as the
most effectual means of pre-
serving peace. Theodore Roose-
welt answered the argument of
this minority in this wise:
mo man has a right to live
who has not in his soul the
power to die nobly for a great
cause. Let adherence be for
those who wage wanton or
wicked wars, who with ruthless
violence Cypress the upright
and the unoffending.
Pay all honor to the preach
ers of peace who put righteous
ness above peace.
But shame on the creatures
who would teach our people
that it is anything but base to
be unready and unable to de-
fend right"

That piece OF piouS propaganda
into a practical program? You
discovered, to put it bluntly,
that the Old Bears had given
you a Bum Steer. Instead of
goodness resulting in happiness,
absolutely the reverse happened.
The better you behaved-and
the more zest you put into that
behavior - the smaller grew
your chances of enjoying a
pleasing, peaceful, and popular
life!
1t was, Of course, possible to
be what many people called
good" without suffering such
dire consequences. If your
goodness was entirely negative
if it consisted of never taking
any chances, asking any ques-
lions, or starting any riots-life
might easily remain as placid as
a custard pudding.
OUT OF LUCK :
But obviously such pussy
cat performance was fitted only
for towards, weaklings or COM
placent fat-heads, and could
have no relationship to real
Goodness nor any appeal for
high spirited young humans.
Then what? You speedily found
the answer.
If you happened to be such a
youngster, if you despised dis
honesty and injustice and
favored aggressive action, you
we're completely out of luck.
Forthwith you we're regarded
with suspicion and resentment
and rated as a nut or nuisance.
Which, unless you were made
of the stuff of martyrs, certainly
dented your faith in the power of
Righteousness as a social asset!
And either sent you scuttling
into some safe corner for keeps
or started you upon an enthuSi'
astic career of wild-oating.
It's doubtful if the Devil him
self ever devised better slogan
for recruiting hell than that
pious axiom-"Be good and
you'll be happy" And in all life,
there's no greater tragedy than
the misunderstanding OF Good
ness.

UnprepdredneSS for Udr, as

quest. Surely these conditions
should teach a lesson that any

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
President Roosevelt entered
upon the duties of his exalted
office with broader knowledge
OF the principles of national de-
tense than was possessed by
many of his predecessors.
Like the great President
whose name he bears, Mr..
Roosevelt did not have to wait
to learn in the White House
the lesson which the surrender
OF unprepared China before the
onward march of prepared
Japan teaches to every Amer
lean whose eyes have not been
blinded by folly or his heart
weakened by cowardice."
Under the present Admin.
1stration, Congress has finally
been prevailed upon to end its
indefensible neglect of "the
Common Defense"
Long before the end of his
first term in the White House,
the leadership of the President
IN the rebuilding of the armed
forces afield and afloat has
brought these results from Con-
greSS, in spite of the fatuous
opposition of Senator Nye of
North Dakota and other men,

the objective of which appears
to be to Chinafy the United
States on land and sea, and
in the air.

The number of midshipmen
at Annapolis has been in
creased and corps of flying

The actual enlisted strength
of the Navy has been increased
by $4,000 men. The House has
voted an increase of more than
1000 officers.
BY direct appropriations and
by allotments from emergency
funds, urgently needed public
works for the use of the Navy

It would almost seem wiser
for a lady the size of JEANNE to
walk the whole way across the
ocean on a pontoon bridge. Then
she would be getting somewhere
by her exercise, instead of just
plodding round and round
without any dinner or supper.
Or maybe she had a man fol-
lowing her on a bicycle with a
Murphy drip.
1t couldn't have been very re-
assuring for people sitting in
their deck chairs, with just a
touch of the old mal-de-mer, to
see mademoiselle stride by Mon

out, and then to have to, wait
until Tuesday evening to have
her pass again, headed in the
same direction, on her second
lap. It is that sort of thing that
makes ocean travel a gamble for
a nervous man.
If the Queen Mary wants to
equal this record, they will have

him only two minutes to do once
