JUSTICE FOR THE SOLDIER.
| FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: The cry Of "justice" Is
| ringing all over the land. But what of him who
perilled his life for his country for the humble
| private whose shoulders were unadorned by gilt
sering stars or gorgeous epauletsf Is he less
can ever do will repay him for his suffering. Yet
4 our Government. our grand and glorious Govern
ment refuses to pension the private soldier and is
not willing to give him what is justly his due, al
though public Golfers filled to OVERLOOKING
Justicei Justice! 1t is ringing everywhere. And
! when will that cry cease? Only when the thou
sands of wrecks that were once men are given thelr
due. Then, and not till then, will that bitter cry
| cease, and the waiting Of mighty Nation be luled
into silence. Friends let ali help to bring about
| this glorious result.-Hoosier Schoolgirl.
