places In Oregon where the writer
of the above could get up a hot
argument. And it is a question
that witl not be settled in this

ary future generation.)

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

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

LADY PREACHERS.

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
