B our own country join jr to war; no matt, i
R what we may think about the way in
if which we declare war—WAR tor the
■ United States is a fact and the United
States must come out of tt m top.
\ We may think that another pitcher '
should have been put in; we may think
that somebody should have cn i
on to bat for the “fuy who couldn t l it
a balloon ” and a fast runner should have,
been substituted for “that ice-wagon on
second,” but we root, just the same, for
♦he home team.
Congress has called for our strongest
line-up.
The war resolution reads:
• • • and that the president be and he I
-1 bwreby authorized and directed to emplov the
entire naval and military force* of the United
Stater and the resourre* of the government to
aarry on war against the Imperial Ornisn gov
tninwii; and to bring 'hr conflict to a sure*
tal termination. all of the resource* of the coun
try are hereb> pledged by the of the
United State* ”
For the very first thing, the country
must be put on a basis of 100 per cent
sAdency.
We join the allies of the Entente povr
| »
srs and we owe it to them and to the
emsse for which we shall fight side by
side with them, having declared our in-
I tsntion so to do. to stand with them not
s. only in what remains to be done but in
What they have already done.
There has been introduced in the
United States senate a resolution that
should be, MUST be passed immediately
upon the heels of the war resolution to
make the war resolution 100 per cent ef
wctive
If it fails to pass, the war resolution
will be weakened thereby, and the same
congress that passed the war resolution
will have failed to do its part.
Tha resolution to which we refer was
introduced by Senator Sheppard of Tex
as, and provides immediate action for
authority for congress to “absolutely
prohibit the manufacture, sale or trans
portation of intoxicating liquors/’
The war resolution calls for “the limit
es our resources ” and the resources of
i congress permit action by it that will
lonep the country sober while it is fight

England took control of the pothouse*.
* They did this as countries at war. for
fee limit of efficiency.
Not all of those who will serve the
United States in war will go into the
J anny and navy.
The majority of those who will serve
Will do so at home.
For those at home the saloons should
be tlosed forthwith, and the manufac
ture, sale and transportation of intoxi
cating beverages lie prohibited absolute
ly as congress has lieen asked to do.
The patriotic thing right now is na
tional prohibition, immediately.
Because national prohibition means
ONE HUNDRED PER CENT EFFI
CIENCY and ONE HUNDRED PER

They Were Opponents of
Government in Russia
According to the tumultuous rantings
of the jingoes who dvgtftre in most jubi
lant tones that “no one wants war” and
who accuse everyone in sight of “trea
son” if he ventures to protest, the people
of history whom we most revere and w ho
stood against precedent, government* and
the fixed order of things, will have to !>e
ra-catalogued under the name of “trait
pra.”
First of all there was a man named
Jesus who strongly opposed the Roman
government and all of its official proceed
ings and was equally opposed to the prac
tices of his own people.
He said so time and again and He got
FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1917
I what was coming to Him for His pains.
He was nailed to a cross between two
thieves —of no more account in the eyes
lof the people than were the thieves
themselves —a traitor to the government
and his people.
There were hundreds of men in Rus-
I sia who protested against the govern
ment and were either executed or sent to
Siberia. Treason again—tho today they
are heroes or martyrs.
There have been men in every age and
every country w ho have been reviled, spit
upon, tortured and killed because they
could not subscribe to w hat their age and
country called good and just—traitors all
—but who have gone down in history as
the saviors of their j>eople while their re
vilers have never U‘en recorder on the
scrolls of time.
It might l>e well lor these glib talkers
(talk is very cheap) to consider.
Which is the higher, to be true to your
government, against your conscience, or
to lie true to your conscience, irrespective
of material gain?
The Christian religion teaches the lat
ter.
The pacifists, who have stood fast by
their convictions in the face of insult on
every hand, have everything in a material
sense to lose and nothing to gain.
They have simply stood by the things
America has stood for, lfiierty of con
science.
Judffe Hally Should Have
Been Kept On Bench
This is the first opportunity The Times
has had to congratulate the voters of
Detroit and Wayne county upon the way
they acquitted themselves in the election
i of Monday.
In only one instance did they make a
mistake; in failing to return Judge Hally
to the circuit Ivench.
Judge Hally has given the people splen-
I did service and is the type of man, in
I point of ability and character, that wo
j should desire in our judges.
Furthermore, his election would have
exactly balanced the court, with three
Democratic and three Republican judges,
and would have meant a continuation of
the splendid non-partisan arrangement
heretofore insisted upon by the voters.

The advertisement which ha* been absorbing large gob* of valuable
space in Detroit newspapers for a long period, 1* like many other "patent
medicine” .*d? It 1* a masterpiece In cunning wording
The advertisement itself save that Bon-Opto i* NOT a patent medicine
because the “formula'' Is printed on the package
. Webster's dictionary gives this definition of FORMULA In chemistry
A symbolic expression of the composition or constitution of any substance.
H-O is the FORMULA for water.
The "Formula” on package* on Bon-Opto is not a formula, but a STATE
MENT of the ingredients in Bon-Opto!
And then to carry the Joke out a little farther, the Valmas concern
give* the names of two ingredient* whofTe composition is unknown, so far
.os the Amerli <ui Medical association hi* be* n able to ascertain
The ad start* off under a date line— Boston. Mas*. The why for of this
is a mystery.
The ad also refers to the nostrum as ”A free prescription you can have
filled and use at home.”
Th* Ad Mirror falls to see anything “free ' about the prescription,
which merely calls for Bon-Opto.
And there L-n't anything to get ’'filled" particularly, eirept a bottle
for Bon Opto tablets.
In one place In the ad "A city physician” Is supposed to recommend
B«>n Opto for weak, watery', aching, smarting. Itching, burning eyes, red
lids, blurred vision or for eyes inflamed from exposure, smoke, sun. dust
and wind.
Any of these ailments may be relieved by using boraclc acid dissolved
in steriliz'd wafer with a drop of witch hatel. which cost* practically
nothing
A* one eminent writer once said. "The eye* are the window* of the
sou! ” Ood gave man but two of them, and wh* n they show weakness or
irregularity, the owner might better consult a physician or an eye specialist.
Vour eves may be your fortune.
J>on't tamper with them by attempting to rure some imperfection with
ANY remedy unless you know it has the indorsement of the medical pro
ft*? ion. or of an eye specialist of undisputed authority.
Fot «y* sight that is very bad The Ad Mirror would suggest that you
see a physician.

Today ! address myself purtUn
larly to the parents of young chil
dren And particularly I *:mt *
urge upon them the Importance of
wisely featuring snd guiding. ratlu i
than nupprerting their children
exuberant curiosity, activity, snd
general animation
What ihe children are m-Mnctive
Ir trying to do, let me tell the par
ents plainly. Is to strengthen both
tfceir bodies and their nilnd# by e\*
erciee Also thev fire habituating
themselves to energetic effort In no
quirlng knowledge tnd applying the
knowledge they acquire.
This, manifestly. Is an admirable
natural arrangement. Hut the chi'
dren need guidance to make It truly
effective
Many parents fall to provide th.s
guidance Nay. many view with
anxiety their children's eagern*
and strennotisness, and rigorously
curb their activity.
Such. Indeed, la the policy adopt
cd by moet parents For result I'
has a gradual substitution of habit
of ln**rtia for habits of eng. r « fforf
So that the rhlld who began lif.
full of enthusiasm and vltn may
eventually b# changed into a let-
Ufa, apa’hetlc man or woman by
his or her behavior, giving color to
the often quoted assertion of a ft
mous scientist:
“l.oTe of work and actlxlty is an
acquired characteristic rather than
a natural on# For the human ten
dency is toward the line of least cf
ft rt."

has happen’d in the period be
tween early childhood and man
hood
That something T Insist emphat
irally is to he found in the com
moo par* ntal policy of repression.
Many parents err by not answer
log as clearly and fully as they an
the questions incessantly put to
them by their children. Hy answer
inc these flippantly or bidding t ie
child to cease asking them, they

Hut if it ia o\erprohibit»*d. and if
the child Is perpetually ord»r*-d to
"l eep quiet," one n»wd not be sur
prised to find that child develop a
habit of "doing nothing"
Then, further, inertia is promoted
by the mistake many parents make
of too long continuing to rend* r to
the rhlld services whieh at an early
age he ought to be allowed anti
titughf to render to him** If

What causes most of the trouble
among u« is narrowness. We cannot get
away from our point of view.
Many of us see things accurately
enough and honestly stand for the truth
of things as we see them; the difficulty
is we won’t walk around them; we per
sist in looking only at one side. Hence
our heats, hates, and jealousies.
1 his war we have on hand Is a clash
of thundering egotisms; German, Rus
sian, English, each stand in the en
closure of his own self-conceit. They
cannot rise to a world feeling.
All race hates have the same poison of
narrowness. To despise the Negro, tha
( hinese, the English, the French, mejyis
simply not to have traveled, in mind, not
in body.
Our salvation, our mental insight, our
moral justice, lies in universality.
The soul that has tasted the universal
cannot condemn nor hate any creature.
For this reason large reading cures the
mind of its vicious bias. When you dip
in history, science, literature, and art,
you bathe in the universal. You come
back to men and things with a broad
clarity of vision.
Humanity cures the man. The all ex
plains the particular.
Go live among the stars an hour, and
you will get along better in your work
shop.
Go read a chapter of Gibbon’s “Rome ”
keep stately step with him awhile, and
your petty family feud will become in
visible.
Read the Nineteenth Psahn and you
will return to your business worry with
a saving sense of remoteness.
People who quarrel are simply people
that cannot get oil from their little
standing ground of opinion.
People who fret are people that have
no wings. They are clodhoppers in
<pirit. Every soul should own its pri
vate airplane wherein to soar above the
mean issues of the actual, and get a
bird’s-eye view.
Music’s help for us lies in the vastness
of its appeal. A symphony of BeeLhoven
is a high mountain whence we look down
upon the common valleys of life as
angels view us.
Get the universal point of view. It
will heal the harshness of all your dis
putes.
Darwin could not understand Shakes-
I>eare. Keats could not tolerate science.
Most of our arguments are clashes be
tween a bad liver and rheumatism.
Strive to enter into every man’s way
;of thinking. Constantly enlarge your
sympathies. Beware of consistency and
the pride of self. Ix't the world flow
