A little more than fifty years ago
Jean Francis Millet. the most Ia
nous. perhaps, of the Barbison group
of painters of France. painted pic
ture which he called The Man with
the Hoe" L "as the epic OF Eu-
ropean peasantry written in oils. 1t
has remained one OF the great paint
ings of all times. picture which
tells within limited space the whole
story of the drudgery and toll of Eu-
ropean peasant life In the fields. A
few years ago. gazing on this pic
ture. Edwin Markham. an American,
wrote poem which put In WORDS
the plant of all toiling mankind.
At this moment in Europe the Man
with the Hoe has been swept aside.
"A little more than two months ago
his place was taken by the Man with
the Rife who trampled down the
growing things which the Man with
the Hoe had been nurturing for the
winter living. The Man with the
Rifle crushed these growing things
under foot and in addition to that
shot down on every side other men.
And in many of those once fertile
and carefully tended fields OF Eu-
rope the Man with the Rifle is now
silent and in his footsteps walks the
Man with the Spade with downcast
eyes, seeking the bodies of those VINO
have fallen and are waiting little
shallow trench for their long sleep
under the tramp1ed and blood
stained soil of Europe.
No matter how long the war con-
tinues: no matter how many more
new armies are hurled into the
welter and slaughter, the Man with
the Spade will be the final victor.
says an exchange. The grave dig
ger. after all the awful work OF the
Man with the Rifle. will stand on the
field of battle and with his humble
instrument lay away the pomp and
spIendor of war.
But he cannot lay away the sur
fering and pain and anguish of war.
And the day when the Man with the
Rife is well under ground the Man
with the Hoe will return. He will
return with the burden on his bowed
shoulders trebled and quadrupled..
and toiling under the greatest OF
handicaps he will again strive to-
wrest a living from the trampled
and mistreated earth; will endeavor
to raise crops in the soil which has
been drenched and mayhap enriched.
mayhap impoverished by the blood
of the Man with the Rifle.
