WILL YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD UP PROUD­
LY WHEN THEY COME HOME?
By Bruce Barton
I lifted the receiver of the telephone, and almost
dropped it again in surprise. For the voice was
that of my good old friend and I supposed him far
away in France.
"What, back so soon I exclaimed. "Detailed
for special duty?"
"Yes, back," he answered and it struck me that
his voice was slow and older, as though the weeks
of his absence had been years. "Back—but not
for special duty. There—there is another rea­
son."
And'then I knew that he must be wounded.
Wounded—while here at home, I still pursued
my ordinary course. Wounded—to protect my
home. Wounded—to keep my children safe.
It came over me of a sudden, as it never had
before, that I am debtor to him to an amount that
I never can repay.
They will all be cdming back before long. Some
wounded some grown strangely old. But most
of them well and normal enough, thank wonder.
Will their eyes say to us, "We were hungry for
a bit of sweet, and you did not think to send it."
"We were cold and you let the hut fires die we
were, lonesome, and the movies stopped because
there were ijo funds to carry on."
•Will that be their message of thej|eyes to us?
Or shall we stand confidently in nleir presence,
greeting them as men who have nothing to re­
pent.
—•as men who in their absence gave freely of
wealth and time, that there might be warmth and
cheer and comfort over there?
They are coming back some day—perhaps be­
fore we think.
And what will be the message of their eyes to
FOR THE PEACE COUNCIL—BRUSSELS.
The editorials published in this newspaper, en­
titled "For the Peace Council—Br^sels," have
struck a sympathetic chord in the hearts of the
American people and in the sentiments of repre­
sentatives of our allies in this country.
Judge Robinson.
With great interest I have
read your articles on the famous
Bone Dry Law of N. Dak. I ad­
mire your candid way and your
great endeavors to save the lives
of our people during this dread­
ful epidemic. I deplore five
very sad deaths in my little com­
munity already, and I fear that
if we can't get liquor very soon
many more may die. I ordered
some liquor for my poor sick
people and just now I get the or­
der back with the poor consola­
tion that they cannot ship alco­
hol in this State. I trust on
your cleverness and charity and
that you fight it out with some
stubborn lawyers who seem to
think more of their own ideas

The idea of bringing the German criminals back

SATURDAY EVENING LETTER

we at? Read this from the pastor
of the Sacred Heart Church of Fried,
North Dakota.

than of the lives of their fellow
citizens.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) H. VAN MEER.
Where are we at what is the law
and what the conditions under which
some necessary liquor medicine can
be obtained to check the fearful epi­
demic The consensus of opinion is
that liquor is the most effective
remedy and to a great extent the
prevailing sickness and deaths are
due to the fact that liquor medicine
cannot be obtained. By drastic and
burdensome laws, covering seven
large pages of the statutes, the dreg
gists have been driven from the sale
of liquor for any purpose. Hence,
liquor cannot be had only as it is
carried into the state or imported
for personal use. But under the con­
stitution every person is guaranteed
the right to buy, sell and acquire
property, and the right, applies to
liquor to the same extent precisely as
to any other class of property, only
so far as it is modified by Sec. 217
of the Constitution. To that modi­
fication the legislature cannot add
one jot ifr tittle. It forbids any per­
son to manufacture for sale or gift
any intoxicating liquor, or to import
any of the same for sale or gift or
to keep, sell or offer the same for
sale or gift as a beverage. No per­
son is forbidden to manufacture or
to import liquor for his own use. The
right to import liquor for personal
state or the Federal authorities, or
use was never deniedby any
statute, until July 1st, 1917. That
was the date for the fake dry
statute to become effective, but as
we have shown to a demonstration,
the Statute was never passed by the
«r,A
Senate, and so it never became a law.
It is a pure fake and a fraud and
there is no state law or constitution
to
yprevent
the importation of liquor
for personal use just as freely as the
same was imported prior to July 1st,
1917.
Where are we at? -We have the
U. S. drjr statute—a rider on the last
section of the postal appropriation
act—Of March 3, 1917. It forbids
liquors to be transported in inter­
German "schrecklichkeif."~ ITwas not destroyed,
it is true hut that was chiefly due to the efforts
of the American minister to Belgium, Brand Whit
lock.
If not destroyed, it was defiled by the beastly
Hun soldiers, who. robbed, murdered and oppressed
its citizens, deported thousands of them, took their
homes from them, ravished their women, and
committed all [manner of vile crimes against them.
Its public buildings were turned into German
barracks. In the famous Palace of Justice, the
very court room where the highest court in Bel­
gium was wont to sit was turned into a dormitory
for German soldiers.
Force installed in the temple of law—a perfect
symbol of Jthe German occupation in Belgium!
Soon, howeverthe historic old structure, dear
to the hearts of all Belgians, will be restored to its
original uses.
Could anything more fitting be imagined than
that the peace congress, the greatest tribunal for
meting our justice the world has ever known, hold
its daily sessions in the very building which is the
symbol of Germany's greatest shame and humilia­
tion
There America's delegates and those of her
allies can witness for themselves the wanton de­
struction perpetrated by the Hun vandals.
Earlier opinion was that the peace congress
would meet at The Hague, capital of Holland, and
seat of the futile attempts of last decade tQ "ar­
range" a permanent peace based on injustice and
oppression.
The Tribune is unable to see why Holland
should expect the peace conference to be held
within her borders. Holland's principal war con­
tribution has been to her own pockets.
There are various reasons why the capitals of
the greater allies are unavailable as locations for
the peace deliberations—too great home influence,
for one.
And while there are many) reasons for holding
the peace conference at Brussels we have not yet
heard of an argument for not holding it there.
Brussels is the place.
THE FLU EPIDEMIC.
The "flu epidemic," the most distressing chapter
in Bismarck's history, may, we trust, be consid­
ered formally closed with Health Officer Strauss
order removing tomorrow morning the ban under
which the Capital City has rested for a month.
Tomorrow morning, when religious services are
resumed in Bisiriaip&k, it would be fitting that a
special prayer be offered in every church for those
who have passed from us, and for the bereaved
ones who remain to sorrow. At the same time
we should have in every house of worship tomor­
row prayers of thankfulness that Bismarck's por­
tion of woe was not greater, for, compared with
any other city in North Dakota, the capital has
been especially favored.
For this thanks are due our medical profession,
our city health officer and our general citizenship,
for all did the part assigned to thelm and did it
well. And, most of all must be remembered the
self-sacrificing, heroic young women who without
reward of any kind—without even recognition, in
many cases—vofy peered their services as emer­
gency nurses and Cpus beyond a doubt saved scores
of lives which but for them would have been lost.
Bismarck will ever look back upon this period
state commerce, excepting for medic­
inal and some other purposes, into
any state whose laws^pi^hibit the
manufacture and sale of liquors for
beverage purposes. The purpose of
that act was to stop the importation
of liquor in interstate commerce, con­
trary to the laws of the state. But,
as you will note, it expressly permits
iniportation4by any person for medic­
inal purposes. It does not require
any person ordering liquor to make
an affidavit that he needs it for
medicinal purposes. The law pre­
sumes that men are honest and truth­
ful, and not liars that they do not
contemplate the commission of crime

and that their yea should be yea and
their nay, nay.
Kead what is said by U. S. Attor­
ney Hildrpth and by trie TJ. S. Attor­
ney General.
Fargo, Nov. 5, 1918.
Judge Robinson.
Answering yours of recent
*date, I enclose you a copy of a
letter from the Attorney General.
There are no regulations about
making affidavits or anything
else. The letter of the Attorney
General says that the shipment
must be made in good faith. As­
suming that it is for medicinal
purpoes I take it that, no law
will be violated,. but if it should
be shipped simply as booze to be
used as a beverage, then of course
such shipment is in bad faith and
cannot take place.
Respectfully,
(Signed) MELVIN A. HILDRETH.
Unitea States Attorney.
In regard to shipments of liquor
for medicinal ^purposes, the U. S. At­
torney General writes Mr. Hildreth
thus:-r-"Thtf Act contains no regula­
tions for such shipments, nor does it
authorize the Department of Justice
to make any such regulations." And
in a letter to Judge Amidon, the U.
S. Attorney General holds that a deal­
er who ships, or a carrier who car­
ries, liquor in reasonably4 quantities
on a statement that it is intended for
medicinal, sacramental or other legal
purpose, will be regarded as haying
acted in gdod faith! But if the
statement should prove to be untrue,
the person making it will be sub­
ject to prosecution. He writes:—"The
department does not desire you to
make any statement or promulgate
any regulations as to how liquors
may be shipped for the excepted pur­
poses."
Where are we at? The 1J. S. dry
statute was.enacted under the power
given to congress to regulate inter­
state commerce, and it relates only
to property passing over the state
lines for the purpose of commerce,
trade or traffic. Congress has no
piower to interfere with the 'right of
any person to cross the state line as

THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER
often as he may please with his
wearing apparel, his dog, cat and any
other property not transported for
sale, trade or commerce. This is
as true of a bottle of liquor as of an
overcoat or a grip. Hence it is that
traveling men do commonly take in
their grips a bottle of good preventa­
tive medicinefi and any person may
safely do the same. Any person may
safely take with him a bottle of li­
quor and cross the state line, back
and forth, one hundred times a day,
without incurring any penalty. But
it must not be taken for trade and
commerce. There yoju must draw the
line. You must always remember
that it is safe and proper to be good,
even on the Sabbath day. If you find
a person who has been bitten by a
rattle snake, and you can save his
life by giving him your bottle, you
have a perfect legal right to do it.
Such an act is legal and commenda­
ble, but there must be no sale, trade
or barter.
Where «re we at? When thfe Good
Samaritan rustled around town and
procured a bottle for our weeping At­
torney General, it was the proper
thing to do. It was legal: and com­
mendable. And of course our Attor­
ney General was dead wrong when
he assumed to act as a Kaiser and to
promulgate orders Idenying others the
right to save their lives by obtaining
liquor medicine. His excuse must be
that he needed the .dra.jPpte and did
not dare to offend ifc?3$|tf:$ra8 as the
steward who said:-^Wlratshall I do
I cannot work to beg I am ashamed.
There is nothing more deplorable and
ruinous than the fear of work and
the mania for office holding and the
desire to act the part of a Kaiser.
Hence it is that Truth is fallen in
the street and Justice standeth afar
off.
