And it is a question that witl not be settled in this generation, and probably not in ary future generation.) 1 N (Copyrighted by the San Jose Mercury) i "A lifo of duty not a life of mere ease or mere pleasure that is the kind of life that makes the great man, as it makes the great nation'-' Thus upon a momentous occasion said Theodore RooSevclt, and he never spoke truer, words. The man without a sense- of; duty is incapable of any great action or achievement, for this feeling of obligation not only prompts men to worthy effort, but it sustains them in the oft-times long rtruggle that stands between the conception of noble ends and their attainment. Most of the things that have enriched numan life have found their inspiration in this sense of duty." If it ' were wholly lacking in human society progress in any line would be impossible. , ' ;V-y t Duty is thej constant watchword of the commanding general - and of. every officer and soldier that makes up the country's army.! The call of duty, it is, that causes them to face danger and death, and without this feeling of obligation which it imposes no army worthy of the name could be maintained. And so with every function of -the government, national, state or local 'None of theni would be possible without , the sense of duty in'our governmental servants. And government will be weak, inefficient and corrupt just in proportion as this sense is lacking 'jv,,V" v:. . rr: ' No. largr or. organized industry would be possible if this game sense of duty were wholly wanting in those who engage in it. What would.be the great railroad corporations, ? for example, without the feeling of duty that generally pervades all classes jot .their employees, irom,general manager downio the humblest section "hand! Without this sense of obligation and responsibility on the part of their employees, instea dof the effi cient servants lof the'public that they are, the, public service corporations Vpuld become a public menace. It would be unsafe to ride upon their trains. V-A majority of the people lacking this sense of duty and organized society would be impossible, nations would go to pieces and civilization itself would dissolve. V'r..;,...'. - . -4 ' ' ' And yet there are,thpse who would destroy this sense of duty in all men Tf they could. - The voluntary assumption of obliga tions by employees n industry, for example, some,, even in this country, are vehemently. denouncing as "wage slavery" and.the employers ,whoi invest their substance in industries employing labor are condemned as "slave drivers." The mutual duties which the two elements in modern industry assume toward each other . are ridiculed, misrepresented and condemned by those who would supplant the modern industrial system with a system of class 'hatred and class war whose latest expression is the Bolshevism of Russia, under which production is possible only when men are forced to labor by despotic authority. The sense of duty to labor; to produce and to provide for one's own wants and those pt the community has under it been displaced by the bayonet.by tho acepter of the tyrant It would seem not very difficult for men of intelligence to determine in what direction each of these industrial roads leads. ; . ' " Whence comes, this sense of obligation which we call duty? The primitive savage has little or none of it. Selfishness and the natural impulses, appetites and passions supply the motives for such activities as he is stimulated to engage in. lie has no real sense of obligation to himself, much less any recognition of an obligation that involves the rights, interests and welfare of others. ; Kvcn in civilized men, what passes for a sense of duty is ofen only a matter of education or habit.! With the develop ment of intelligence and the. growth of enlightened selfishness there comes to; man the "knowledge that in-order to succeed in business and Acquire those things he desires he must recognize and discharge certain duties which, it is claimed, he owes to others and the community. Commercial honesty is sometimes nothing more than-ihis. . It often, springs from no sense of moral obligation. 'Such a sentiment should hardly be dignified by calling it duty, which springs from something deeper, finer ana nouier luan mere enlightened opportunism. The sense of duty is an expression of the moral and spiritual nature or man. j It is also a recognition of the moral and spiritual laws ot our being, established Dy the Creator, though this reeog- nitron may De unconscious.; we may not know what binds our conscience and what compels obedience to its behests. In faet. it is the stitring of the moral, the spiritual, the Divine elements in us which are; struggling for the mastery. As we come hearer and nearer to a realization of the perfect man in our lives we hear more and more clearly the commands of our moral nature, and the sense of humiliation at our failure to obey these com mands becomes more and more acute, until finally we come to know that there is no mental rest, peace, satisfaction, happiness for us. unless we do obey the silent,. inward monitor. h -; The truly spiritual man is never in doubt as to his duty ; he never needs, to ask another what it is. The inward monitor always speaks to him with a fence and clearness that leaves him no doubt, and it has become, a constant habit with him to obey . willingly, cheerfully. Such a man is always self-reliant, forceful, and an influence for good in the community where he lives, if 1 his influence docs not reach far out into the world at large.' ; Those who have not this spiritual development and are depen- ueui ror a Knowicag oi ineir uuty upon reason or the opinion of others, or upon the printed word of revelation, arc often in dcubt as to what their duty is in specific cases. Some even . mistake tueir own eeilishncKS and the promptings of their dom ineeruig.and arbitrary spirit lor the call to duty, and make it their business to interfere in the private affairs of oflier and boss everybody and everything in he community. Sneh people often become publicnuisances instead of an influence .ami power, for good in their neighborhood. Nevertheless, when our people lose their. sense of dty, when they recognize no obligation to themselves or to others, or to the public, or to their God, but are ready. and willing slaves of. their own natural prenciisitics. all is lost t destruction, chaos, barbarism, are then upon us, ready ...

' SENATE BILLS By constitutional provision the president of the United States is also commander in 'chief of .the army and nary. Customarily, this Is a matter of small concern, to him. .He does not take the field, swprd in hand, nor does be stand on the bridge with a spyglass to his eye. Certain gentlement in uniform do that President Wil son has been no exception to the rule in this regard. But ' now that he must move from the White I louse, he recalls to his comfort that be can properly call for military transportation of his household goods. About this time next month a train of army trucks will rumble through Washington streets from No. 1600 Pennsylvania avenue to Ko. 2040 S street, northwest. The presidential Lares and Penates will be on the move.; But let no word of this incline anyone to ex pressions of v envy , Everyone knows what moving Is.Worces ter Telegram. (The abore Is an. .Interesting item of news. But will the Latin students of Salem say it Is cor rect to use capital letters f6r lares and pe nates?

The lady preachers have formed Union well, not exactly that. but there is a Women's Ministeri al association and it is found that no less than 15 different denom inations now welcome skirts in the pulpit -to say nothing of the Salvation Army."' It is doubtful if ' St. .

The women ; have been the backbone of the- church ever since it was built. It wasn't fair that they should be denied ihe right to be its tongue especially when they had so much of it. CLEARING THE AIR. Tne isorlh Dakota house has passed a bill forbidding smoking in street' cars, restaurants and other public places frequented by women. Looks as if the ladies would have to go, home for a quiet smoke. Of course, the men don't count. They'll have to quit entirely. The law won't let 'em smoke abroad and the wife won't let 'em smoke- at -home. Ex change. t . ... . , THE HOLY CITY. There will be no trolley line up the Mount of Olives and no merry-go-round . for Bethlehem. Col. Ronald Storrs. the British governor of Jerusalem, told the promoters that.
