The Attitude of Quakers on Military Service Of all the decisions made by the Five Years

Meeting of Friends, which is the governing body of the Quaker church in America, none was of greater interest to this community than its official utterance on the topic of military service. The telegram sent to Secretary of War Baker, asking that all Quakers of military age be transferred from the training camps to the Friends Foreign Service Committee for reconstruction work in France, summarizes officially the stand of this denomination. Quakers want their young men exempt from every service that is directly or indirectly connected with the military. The service of these young men is to be specifically that of reconstruction work in France and Belgium.

tleships disintigrating at docks and arsenals filled with antiquated guns, would not stop the

Kaiser from shelling New York and landing his hordes on our shores. What would be his reply to our theory of non-

resistance? Let the victims of the Lusitania and the

mutilated children of Belgium answer. We are confronted with the grim and stern reality of defending our shores, and protecting our people against the colossal indemnities that a Kaiser seeks to impose. We have only one course of action. That is to fight. To this task every man Quaker, Catholic, Protestant, atheist and agnostic must conse

crate his life and pledge his money. If all of us Were Quakers, who would defend our mothers, wives and daughters ? Who would make the world safe for democracy? Isn't the Quaker shirking a duty that is as holy as any religious principle he may adduce,

OUR IDEA OF NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IS A STUDENT STRIKE AT COLUMBIA. OUR OWN HEALTH TALKS. (By Old Doc Potts, LL. D., S. R. O.i C. Q. D.) A learned healthist has just Issued a pronunciamento upon the subject of proper sleeping. He assumes that

people have time to sleep, which per

haps they do in some remote sections of the country. But to these he does not appeal. He urges proper sleeping

for people who live in the great metro

politan centers.

He says the proper way to sleep and

get the most out of the snooze Is to do it in a hammock, even if the ham-

j mock must be swung between two fire

The principle of non-resistance and the theory that any kind of work about a cantonment, such as cooking, baking, police and sanitary work, is

military service because it assists the purpose of an army, namely that of destruction, do not appeal to the American citizens. Why. mere adherence to the Quaker belief should exempt from military service, and faith in the Catholic or the Methodist belief condemn to service, is a discrepancy that Quaker argument has not explained. Catholics, Quakers and members of Protestant denominations are citizens of the same republic. All enjoy the same benefits. The Quaker does not pay a higher tax rate than the Lutheran. The Presbyterian enjoys no greater privileges than the Quaker. If our privileges, irrespective of religious beliefs, are the same, then our responsibilities are the same. If a Baptist, who pays the same tax rate that a Quaker does, must serve his country as a sol

dier, why should a Friend, who pays no higher tax rate and makes no greater contribution to

the government, be excused from military serv

ice? Why should the young Quaker have the right, merely by virtue of his religion, to say that he will do nothing but reconstruction work ? Why must the Catholic, the Methodist, the Lutheran, the United Brethren, the athiest and the agnostic explicitly obey the government and suffer himself to be ordered about at the direction of his superior off icers ?

What great principle of democracy, what great right of the people, ever was won by moral suasion ? Who established firmly the principle of republican government? Fighters, men with the red blood of a Washington and a Lafayette. Who smashed the shackles of the slave? Fighters, men with a high born sense of duty that impelled them to bleed and die that men of another race and color might be emancipated.

And the Quakers of this nation are enjoying today the full benefits of the rights won by the sword and preserved by the sword.

The Quaker would substitute reconstruction work for military service. The call went out to Friends at the Five Year Meeting, "contribute with large amounts," "prove to the other denominations that you are sincere in your claims that you will give richly of your possessions in lieu of your sons." Some speakers criticised the apathy of the denomination in making these sacrifices of money, leaving the inference that some Quakers want to spare both their sons and their money.

The pacificts speeches and utterances of Kemp Brown, a London Quaker, made very little appeal in this community. Richmond does not care for sentiments that are akin to I. W. W. statements. Brown aroused the resentment of the patriots of this community. Indiana is not a pacifist commonwealth and Richmond is not made up of slackers.

The answer of the Quaker is that a tenet of his church forbids military service, that he has

conscientious scruples against warfare,"" that the founders of his church had a revelation declaring war iniquitous and that he accepts this principle. Neither the Catholic church nor the Protestant denominations accept the distinctive tenet of the Friends that it is wrong to fight in behalf of a good cause. Certainly the Quaker church is not the only religious body that has received a divine revela

tion on the question of war. Assuredly there are men of high religious vision and of great spiritual penetration in the other churches. If the Quaker principle of non-resistance is inspired, it is very strange, indeed, that divine providence overlooked the other church bodies when the message was flashed from on high. Can it be that the Quaker church is the only church to whom God entrusted this principle? Have the other denominations in the face of their tremendous numerical growth, their external greatness and internal spirituality, been overlooked?

Newspaper men attached to Camp Taylor have taken issue with the statement of Vincent D. Nicholson that Quakers are maltreated there. They say they have still to find the first instance of browbeating. Quakers, so correspondents say in reply to Nicholson's statement, have been assigned to the cooking and baking departments.

the

scientist, it can't be done. All the sailors in the navy are coa

siaerea neroes. in times or peace they are heroes because they try to

sleep in hammocks. You nave often

heard that the navy Is wideawake Well that is the reason.

A hammock in which you are try

ing to sleep is the most active of all

Inanimate objects

It seems to twist and writhe of its own accord when there is no provocation. You may lie perfectly still

and move nothing but your lungs, but

the hammock keeps on twisting and

turning. When it finally tips over,

you can't get free of the thing and

make a clean fall, for one arm and one leg have somehow pushed through

It and you struggle like a Siberian

weakfish trying to escape the net.

Every effort leads to further entanglements, and with both arms and, both legs firmly pinned you land on

I the cement floor.

Then you pass the rest of the night trying to get out of -the hammock, which has come down with you. upon you, under you, around you and in your midst. Persons in this predict ment often have to wear the hammock to breakfast and then bribe some menir ber of the family to cut it off with shears.

Who is going to get that last drink? RELIC OF THE DARK AGES In Syracuse the other day we discovered what must be the oldest sign in the United States. It reads: REGULAR DINNER 15 CENTS The building is not occupied now.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. Subscrip-j tlons in many millions dollars worth of bonds will be one of the first official acts, of A. Mitchell Palmer, newly appointedjenemy property custodian. On opening offices and assuming his new duties today, Mr. Palmer found scores of letters reporting money ciedit or other property held by Amer

ican interest for alien enemies. These will be tabulated late this week and a Liberty Loan subscription made for a sum probably much in excess of the actual amount reported in anticipation

of later reports. Many officials estimate that enemy property subject to custody of the government custodian amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr. Pelmer gave assurance today that corporations or other business interests operating with Germany or

ally of Germany funds will have aa little interference from him as neceseary. He said he would guard against

placing any obstacle in the way of smooth operations of business and through his representatives to be appointed In various parts of the country would co-operate with companied business plans. Mr. Palmer said he had not yet worked out planB for seizing enemy owned real property, Including cotton and other materials held In storage. He said he expected to take up the question of appointing attorneys and ether representatives in the leading cities within a few days to act for him in supervising enemy credit.

In the antipodes stock rangers find that territory covered with some dwarf species of acacia makes splendid forage ground. One of the best species is A. aneura, a surb sparingly grown in California as an ornamental.

We believe our government has been very lenient with Friends and very tolerant toward their views. The speeches and opinions of some Friends at the Five Year Meeting do not harmonize with the general sentiment of this city and this nation.

Advice on Buying Mining Stock

From the World's Work.

R. IRVING T. BUSH, president of the Bush Ter

minal Company, offers practical and sound advice to those having a small amount of money

to invest. "In the first place," he says, "they should not ask too much. A real dividend of 5 per cent, is far better than an Irish dividend of ten. To those who feel the desire to buy stock offered with great promises I would say: Base your judgment on past earnings, not on future hopes. I would recommend for them the experience of an old friend of mine; "This man, the son of a country doctor, tells of how, when he reached man's estate and was about to go into business, his father took him into the little back office and swung open the door of the rusty old safe and took out a formidable bundle of stock certificates. 'My son,' 6aid he, 'you are going into business, and, I hope, will make some money and want to save it. When the time comes you will wish to buy some mining stock. Every one does. When that time arrives come to see me. I will sell you some of mine. They are just as good, and will keep the money in the family.'"

Doctor (upon finding his patienti weaker than before) What does this mean? Haven't you been following my instructions? Patient (feebly) Yes, doctor. Doctor Been eating animal food right along, have you? Patient (grimly, trying to smile) Well, doctor, I tried to, but somehow

it did not seem to agree with me very well. I managed to worry down the hay and the clover tops all right, bu

the thistles kind of stuck in my throat, and I had to give it up.

While on a walking tour a gentle man discovered a rustic patriarch seated at the roadside. "Fine corn," the wayfarer remarked, tentatively, waving his hand toward a hillside filled with straggling stalks. "How do you plow that field?" asked the traveler. "It's pretty steep." "Don't plow it," said the old man. "When the tlsaws come the rocks rolling downhill tear it us so that we can plant corn." "And how do you plant it?" asked the traveler. "Don't plant it Teally," said the old man. "We stand at the back door and shoot the seed in with a shotgun." "Georgie, Georgie, you musn't act so when you are eating," said mamma at the breakfast table, one day last week. "If you do, you will surely get something in your windpipe." "Windpipe? H'm. What's my windpipe?" "Don't you know what your windpipe is?" broke in the six-year-old brother. "Why, that's where your

smoke comes from on cold nays."

We used to say : "The Maxwell's real greatness is on the inside the mechanical parts you can't see." But the wonderful new 1918 Maxwell has just been delivered to us. Now we've changed our tune. Today we say: "The Maxwell is great inside and out great in EVERY POSSIBLE way." Always the most efficient-most economical light car built, the Maxwell now has: A 6-inch longer wheel base, making it larger and roomier. Heavier and more rigid frames 6 inches, instead of 3 inches deepand yet is 50 pounds lighter. Compensating underslung rear springs the last word in spring suspension at any price. A sloped windshield style of body equal to the highest priced cars. Friends, the 1918 Maxwell is the best looking, best built car for the money we ever saw!
