Suffering Is Inevitable.


Kansas city JOURNAL
I'D like to say" remarked Justice Case
Yesterday, that a lot of these people who
are kicking about the way our soldiers are
being treated don't know what they are
talking about The equipment of an army
is such an immense undertaking that some
suffering and mistakes cannot be avoided.
If ii would be any consolation to them they
ought to ask some soldier of the war Of 1861
to 1865 how he was treated.
'Our regiment received no pay for year
after we were mustered in and il was all
most that long before we were issued uni
forms. We were given guns and ammunl-
ton but we had to carry the latter in our
pockets. The matter of sickness has been
the experience of all our armies in camp
and ia largely due to neglect of sanitary
precautions by the soldiers themselves. Ev-
erybody knows how free born American
scorns to boil his drinking water or observe
other cautions which he was told at the
outset would be necessary TO good health.
The government at Washington can't be
blamed for all these things. There Is doubt
less much that should be improved. but 1t
Is in this as in all other reforms; 1t rests
largely with the people themselves.
