It may dampen the ardor and enthusiasm of those who must enter the blow aeainst the Government. Critics of the selective draft encourage defiance of the law in the face of the present crisis.

They have not the interest of the country at heart and are unworthy to be classed as American citizens. The President of the United States is in this time of war charged with the gravest and most responsible duties. In the administration of new and untried laws and the operation of the greatly increased military and naval forces of the country, together with all the vast number of addition al matters rendered necessary by the war, no doubt mistakes will be made It would be a miracle if they were not. But the critic, especially if he be a leader of men whose duty it is to play an important part in the moulding of public opinion the critic and the fault finder, whose only activities are criticizing and finding war is not a truly good soldier or good leader. or a loyal American.

CO-OPERATION NEEDED TO WIN THE WAR By Pat aHrrison, Representative in Congress from Mississippi Washington, Oct. 1. Co-operation: not fault finding, is now the duty oi Americans. The extent of the opposition in certain parts of the country to the selective draft of raising an army is in my opinion, greatly exaggerated.

In my state of Mississippi some or; the most influential and distinguished men opposed the draft. They bellev-' ed that the voluntary system was tne wisest, best and most patriotic Speeches supporting that view were widely circulated in that state. But Mississippians are thoroughly reconciled to the law and recognize in the main its squareness and justice and its wisdom.

Discipline. There Is not that thing In the world of more grave and urgent Importance, throughout the life of man, than Is discipline. What need I Instance? He that hath read with Judgment of nutans and commonwealths, of cities and camps, of peace and war, sea and land, will readily agree that the flourishing and decaying of all civil societies, all the movements and turnings of human occasions, are moved to and fro as on the axle of discipline. So that whatsoever power and sway In mortal things weaker men have attributed to fortune, I durst with more confidence ascribe either to the vigor or the slackness of discipline. And certainly discipline Is not only the removal of disorder but the very visible shape and Image of virtue; whereby she Is not only seen In the regular gestures and motions of her heavenly paces as she walks, but also makes the harmony of her voice tdlble to mortal ears.

She is mourned by her owner, Chauncey B. Sears of Fall River, as sincerely as If she had been a lifelong human friend. So he has ordered a marble shaft, four feet high, to be carved with her name and world marks she has set in mile races as a three-year-old and a four-year-old trotting filly.

Great and large powers necessarily must be conferred upon the Executive of the nation at this time. The delegation of such powers in the ordinary times could ont be dreamed of. But promptness and efficiency are imperative now and to obtain the highest efficiency, to strike with the power and might of the nation, we mus delegate for the time unusual authority to the Executive head.
