after the battle. when the roll was called
and our tent mates would no more respond,
our days, and perhaps months, in hospital
among the wounded and dying, perhaps in
some prison pen like Libby or Andersonville
And today. fifty years since those dreadful
times, few are left and some who were brave
actors in those scenes are with rs. The army
of the Potomac, from 1861 TO 1865, lost more
than 100000 men killed and wounded.
While the total loss on the Union side was
more than quarter million of men slaughter
ed in battle and million wounded.
Counting males, one out of every four in
the loyal States enlisted, and before the war
closed, one out of every six who enlisted had
given his life sacrifice on his Country's altar.
Words are tame to describe what the boys
in blue dared and suffered.
Who dares attempt to tell what our mothers,
sisters. sweethearts, and our aged fathers and
mothers passed through-the intense agony
and strain upon their minds and hearts, as they
read week after week in their paper, the long
roll of those who had fallen in battle, or more
dreadful still, list of those who were taken
prisoners, to be confined in Libby or Ander-
sonville.
Do you know that at Salisbury N. c.. there
are IL 900 lying in unknown graves" carried
out of that prison pen and thrown into Is
trenches, 800 feet long, dumped into it like
offal. And these were all somebody's sons.
Mothers looked and longed for their return,
but their boy never came back. It is singular
that any body's boy ever came back.
War seems to be . terrible calamity, and
yet it has its compensations. War has always
existed, undoubtedly it will EXIST until He
whose right it is shall rule triumphant over
the hearts and minds of men.

Commenting on this statement by

they could not possibly keep the road

Congressional action making COM
pulsory the equipment OF all roads
with all-steel cars Is probable. But no
action that congress can take can
turn loss into profit Congress.
SO long as IL recognizes the legal right
OF the New Haven or any other road
to earn dividends on false and fraud
ulent capitalization, cannot by law in
crease the earning power of the New
Haven sufficient TO pay such interest
charges and at the same time keep
the road In proper physical condition.
The truth is the American public is
facing q crisis in the matter OF rail-
road ownership, and only two things
are possible. Either the roads must
be permitted to increase freight and
passenger rates high enough to earn
a profit on their watered stocks and
: bonds, or the whole system must be
/ changed and. the railroads taken over
into public ownership. As a matter
OF fact, the United States Is one OF
the three principal countries OF the
world to retain privately owned sys-
TENS OF railroads. Germany, Austria
Hungary, italy, Switzerland. France,
Bulgaria, Russia, Australia and New
Zealand all have government owned
| and operated roads, with no watered
capitalization. no finncil jugglery. and

the report OF the mechanical super

Cooling with their green shade the

Love you not the little bird lost among

Dreamiply repeating quaint, brief

Is there not JOY in the waste windy
places.
Is there not a song by the long dusty
way?
IL there not glory in the sudden hour
Of struggle;
IL there not a peace In the long quie,
day?
Love you not the meadows with the
deep lush grasses:
Love YOU not the cloud focks noiseless
In their flight?
Love YOU not the cool wind that stirs
to meet the sunrise;
Love you not the stiffness of the warm
summer night?
Have you never wept with grief that
slowly passes
Have you never laughed when Joy
goes running by?
Know you not the peace OF rest that
follows labor?
You have not learn TO live, then: how
