i ; | { i | i g iR TN \ THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER 5 P, N . e o 3 - cxnsem e, THE CALL OF THE TRIBE In time of war we go back largely to eleméntals. War is brute force guided by intellect and but little’ aniéliorated by human sympathy. ' The soldier Wwho Halts hid®swotd in midair for even an instant, goes down before his antagonist who strikes first. This is true of a nation as of an individual fighting mam. There ‘are:many things we' dislike to 'do, but self preservition requires action, swift’and sure. - We must adopt many of the methods of primitive man. We must act upon many of the rules and impulses that govern the tribes of barbarfans: ‘Among other things, when the call 'of the tribe has been' given, we must permit none to refuse to respond,or shirk’his duty. In the great American melting pot all lovers of popiilar government have been merged into a tribe—a' commingling of the Sioux, Apache, Comanche, in other, words, Slavs, Teutons, Saxons, Latins—a tribe of Americans. i AR e The call has gone out to the tribe and 'any 'member of the tribe who fails to respond with his person,” his ‘services, his talents and his money must be dealt with largely ‘according to the primitive methods of the tribe.. We shall not scalp”the slacker, literally, with a knife, but do it none the léss’effectively by more refined modern methods. ' Ostracism, business’and social, may be found to be the just punishment of the man who heeds not the call off the tribe. AR il S o o R o e B GAVE HIM THE “BLUES” Frank 8.

Madde%l, of Illinois, J. W. Langley, of Kentuqky, John M. Rose, of Pennsylvania, Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, and Loren E. Wheeler and Joseph G. Cannon of. I}hpm_s, the House re- cently defeated a new and dangerous socialistic p}*opogal. The measure under consideration was of Democratic origin and proposed that all government officers and employees in the District of Columbia be permitted to purchase supplies at cost from the commissary department of the army and navy. It was also proposed that the measure apply to all government employees anywhere in the United States. This, when once established, would never have been repealed, but wou}d have been extended until the government became the retail store- keeper for the entire country. - Madden of Illinois started the fight on this provision. He said, among other things, “There is not one-thousandth part as much reason or justice in permitting the employees of the gov- ernment to purchase their food and other supplies from th.e quartermaster stores of the army as there would be to permit the men who dig the sewers and pave the streets and do the DR.

Ames Brown, age 27, intimate friend f of Private Secretary Tumulty, has awakened some interest. Young Mr. Brown, who was placed in Class 1 of the draft dur- ing his recent service as assistant to George Creel, has since been made a first lieutenant, doubtless for gallant and meritor- ious publicity service, and assigned to “intelligent duties sole- ly” in Washington and New York with the proviso that he should “not be assigned to any other duty or the command of troops under this appointment.” Another interesting appointment is that of Humphrey Red: field, son of the secretary of commerce., He was commissioned an ensign after his graduation from Amherst college, and is now assistant pay clerk, with a desk in the navy supply bureau. Still another interesting appointment is that of Josephus Daniels, Jr., son of the secretary of the navy. He has a com-|| mission as second lieutenant in the quartermaster’s department of the marine corps services. His duties do not take him to sea. Another interesting appointment is that of David Houston, Jr., son of the secretary of agriculture. He has been commis- sioned an ensign in the navy and assigned to duty on a patrol vessel on the coast of New England. ' Other interesting appointments are those of two sons of Charles R. Crane of Chicago, a large contributor to the Demo- cratic campaign fund of 1916. Both hold government positions in the city of Washington. A nephew of Charles R. Crahe, II, is a second lieutenant in the ordinance procurement department division, assigned to Chicago. Another interesting appointment is that of W. J. Carboy, son-in-law of former Governor Dunne of Illinois, in the contract section of the ordinance division. Another interesting appointment is that of Gordon Auchin- closs, son-in-law of Colonel E. M. House, in the office of Coun- sellor Polk of the state department. There are many such interesting appointments among the 62,000 peaceful soldiers holding warlike commissions. Thus is the war not only making things safe for democracy butfor the scions of Democracy. 0.
