SHOULD all the dishonest men in
the country be arrested and placed in
prison it would make gaps in the
business world too fearful to con-
template. 1t would annihilate the
whiskey rings, the meat rings, the
steel rings and the grain rings.
1t would destroy the manufactures
and shut up two-thirds of the brok-
erage Offices; it would suspend half
of the police force; cancel major
ity of the big building contracts
and utterly exterminate the plumb
ing business. 1t would thin the
ranks of the medical and legal fra
ternities, take thousands of insur-
ance agents from the field, shut the
doors of real estate offices, and liter
ally wipe the ice and milk business

was too much for this manly boy and
his own life will now pay for that
devotion.
Those OF you who think your lot
is hard, stop and think what this lad
wilfhave to do. No prison sentence
could be as bad. In prison man
can live and hope to some day be
free to mingle with his fellow men.
To this boy his only hope Of free
dom is in death.
You cannot class this boy as a
hero. He is for above hero.
Men who have laid down their lives
Tor their country are clased as heros.
In most cases their death happened
on the field of battle and their pain
was OF short duration. This boy did
not lay down his life on the battle
field. His pain will continue
through years, not so much physi-
cal pain but pain caused by lone
someness. No one, when the time
comes for him to pass to the Great
Beyond to dampenh his fevered brow;
no one to say that last prayer with
him..
The paper stated that the boy
seemed to have no regrets for the
step chad taken. No, he was only
doing what that mother would, in
all probability, have done for him.
Acts of this kind or similar SO rarely
occur that the love this boy has
shown is beyond any earthly COM
mendation and his reward can only
be paid by Him who watches over
us all.
