THIS DISPATCH IS AX EDITORIAL. Washington, Aug s The federal goernment Jfrom now on pshall deny the eittonion now exacted for many commodities of prime necessity." This was the burden of the announcement of the administration pricefixmg policy made tonight by the war industries board-

WITH AX EXEMPTION BOARD. Some one has said that in the barh tub all men are equal. So it is in lbs waging room of an exemption board conducting physical examination?. There they stand, scores of ym ng males, naked as the day they were born- Each-awaits his turn as the doctors put those ahead of them through the paces. All are equal. Whatever is th aristocracy of clothes it is not here. The workman who just came in stands as democratic as the young backer. A man might be a prince or the son of a president. Nakedness carries no trappings or rank with it; all pomp disappears- The human 'Wment is reduced to its aboriginal status ;all men in the line are equal Some are vigorous, others are not- The ravage of disease has told en others; now and then there is a cripple. Comes before the doctor aft" Apollo- He is apparently a perfect specimen of manhood. Well-shaped hed, sirewy arms, lean o' body, well-formed legs and wholly radiating virility. But he Is discarded: flat feet, athletic heart, bad teeth: Follows a slip of a fellow. He tips the scales at 1P5 pounds. Surely he can't be a soldier. But there is nothing the matter with his chest, his heart, his teeth, his eyes, his ears. Physically fit for military service, the doctor states,' and so he of the slim arms and legs lords it over the rejected Apollo who looks so well in clothes. Xow comes a tragedy. A strapping youth enters. The searching; eye of .he doctor soon brings out the ghastly truth- No one ever suspected It- His body is tainted, his blood is corrupted. It is the old tale of sowing the wild oats. What the ordinary eye does not see the trained glance of th doctor eetsThese things are enacted daily before any conscription board. They go on in your town. .They go on in every town, and nothing is eo symbolic of the draft law than the democracy of nakedness-

HE WAXTS WORK. A stranger within our gates claims that it is hard to get a decent job at present in the Calumet region. He has excellent letters. He is physically unfit for trench service, but he is a fighter of the world's great battlp. He is not idle at present, but the work he is doing is far under his ability, because he is a rh inker and an excellent judge of human nature. He knows lumber thoroughly and occupied an official position for ten year? and is an A-l clerical man- He can write, tach and is a good salesman. He possesses executive ability in construction or factory work- We know nothing of this man's habits, but he seems honest and we belifve he is deserving of better employment than he now has. and if anyone desire?

to be pu' in touch with him we will act. A newspaper is glad to do aJ

good turn for anybody-

THE DRINK PROBLEM AND ITS SOLUTION. The big problem attending national prohibition is the inability of ita advocates to interpret human nature and t0 appreciate that the 'tastes and sppetttes that have ppr?isei frr fi,r,0o years c'anno be changed in six days. Neither is there th mental ability to realise that the mere enactment of revolutionary and anti-personal liberty legislation will be meekly accepted. To fora' that it would be is to stretch the truthFor generation after generation, long before the time of Noah, mankind has produced and used brewed and distilled liquids. At times mankind produces gluttons both as to food and drink, but it i3 a tribute to the stability of humanity that down through the ages that the great mass of people are temperate and healthy and honest, just as a certain small proportion have been, are, and always will be, intemperate and unhealthy and dishonest. With the advance of education throughout the world, temperance (we mean moderation, not prohibit ior.) advances, and this is no better illustrated than in the history of the English-speaking races. One only has to p.ck up a novel of Dickens, which is typical of England (as well aS of America) of a few generations ago to realize how intemperate Englishspeaking ersons were as a people and contrast the great advance they have made since. A newer conception of temperance now obtains and it is no loncer either popular, profitable, or fashionable to be intemperate.

Mrs. Jacob Kooy who has been ill with bronchitis, is somewhat better. C. Jabnay was again taken to St. Margaret's hospital vhere he underwent an operation. Peter Schoon spent Wednesday evening in Hauimond. Mr. and Mrs. G. Chapin and children of Hammond, were in town on Wednesday.

on the contrary it is wholly disgusting, the difference being that the glutton for drink shows it more than the gluttcn for food with both headed for the grave, although the totals of the latter are many times the number o7 the former. Some races of people, notably the French. Italians, Germans, Swiss and Bohemians, have already embraced national temperance in the use of things that mankind drinks, and while we envy them it is pleasant to state that the national tendency, both in this country and in England, thanks to modern education in these things, is to approach that state ol temperance- That state of temperance seems to consist in a harmless and moderate use of beer and light wines. Now, even should tf.e autocracy of national bone dry prohibition be

inflicted on this country, sooner or later, (here need be no fear that ii j would persist. It would only serve to delay the tendency toward temper-J ance, for it would for the time drive people to the use of strong drink, i illicitly produced, and quite available because of the unmoral hut statu- I tcrv illegal repressive measures that would bar lighter drinks- National i

toward national temperance. Prohibition, which means restriction of freedom and the intrusion of what some one else thinks we should do, set up as a government over our tastes and liberties. Is .lust as impracticable as if some should seek the enactment of a national " birth control statute which would determine who should not reproduce in order to "benefit humanity." Humanity cannot be benefited that way; what reforms that come to humanity must come by degrees, more or less swift, but having education as their basisWith the spread of education, dissemination concerning disease prevention, better wages, more healthful living conditions, growth of schools, shorter working hours, increase of recreational facilities, the saloon problem will and at the present rate, quickly solve itself. Excess energy will find other and more healthful outlets and It is reasonable to expect eventual temperance based on a firm foundation. The trouble with prohibition is that instead o? aiding, co-operating, operating, sympathizing and understanding human nature that it goes against it.

The best and quickest way for sincere prohibitionists to attain that degree of national sobriety which we will admire is to tackle the problem in the right way by getting improved social conditions, urging temperance, and by resorting to methods of education Where temperance ensues prohibition quicklv finds that its functions are no longer needed, as has been illustrated in certain European countries. But to essay national prohibition under present conditions is to eo against the grain of humanity itself, to set back the cause of temperance fifty years and possibly bring about serious disturbances. The achieve

ment of national temperance, which will solve the drink as well as the sa-1 loon problem, should be the aim of every true American, and adherence

to prohibition with its doctrines unchanged is simply to delay that desirable state of affairs-
