Funston and the Reveals

III his broad general position that he isn't
going TO have revivalists coming IN ana
telling Uncle Sans national defenders mat
they are d lot OF lost and ruined reprobatef,
General Funston will nave the approval OF
the majority Of leyel-headed people.
Moreover, military camps on the border
are no place for religious geviEals, The men
in Khaki are there for business They are
there to be kept at the top notch Of Dusi-
nesslike discipline and efficiency. Gener-
Al Funston states that he approves the usu-
al religious services conducted by chaplams
and other clergymen among the military,
which IS a sufficient, sensible reason7
able stand. On the assumption mai Wnen E
man dons the uniform Of his country ne los
es his soul, the logical effort Of revival ser
vices of this kind among soldiers must Pc
to get them out of the army, just as uenun-
citation Of the low moral standard Of the
soldiers elsewhere has the effect Of pre-
venting e~nlistments. We need trained sol
dfery lust a little worse that any other
kind Of preparedness just at present and
ANYTHING which tends toAessen the number
must be viewed with disapproyal, And
moreover ii can hardly be conducive to
pride or high morals IN the army to con
vince the men that they are all outside
the pale.
The strongest point made by Funston is
that the bringing of a revival to a mans
camp means lie has to be revived or go
somewhere else. It's aa f6sHe eai q
"How about the rights" he says, "of the
men who do not want to- attend revivali
and who do not wish to be disturbed BY
them? Are they compelled to leave ths
camp. which is their home and wander
about downtown or through fields, to geI
away from them? Has a man no rights pc
cause he Is a soldier? There are many re
Iigiouss people who disapprove strongly g
REVEALS, with their attendant emotional
ismN And, moreover anyhow, be a man re
ligious or irreligious, be he a Christian
Hebrew or Mohammedan, no other persoi
has q right to rub his belief or his WOE
ship into his face; that is, to bring It II
to the place where he has a right to be
and where he cannot escape 1t without
abandoning that place"
1The private citizen whose front yard
against his wishes was invaded by a sec
tartan gathering, would be in much thu
same position.
We subscribe to, Funston's statemen
that there are a lot Of folks back home WHIT
need reviving worse than the soldiers do
and that back home il a fine place for n
revivalists to prepare good timber for thu

Two years ago this city had one of the
most beautiful and picturesque celebrations
ever known when the municipal Christmas
tree was erected in the plaza in front Of
the Old Palace, The setting was perfect,
and the very Spirit Of Christmastide was
present to give glamor to a picture which
will long be remembered by those who
watched the bonfires blaze and the big tree
SPARKLE amid the Christmas Eve snowstorm
which added the last finishing touch to the
scene. fsI
Santa Fe should have her municipal
Christmas tree again this year in the plaza
where it belongs. with the Christmas music
and Lights and blazing fires cleaning across
the snow. It isn't very expensive and It is
a stunt that does us good all the year round
-the celebration, of course, centerine
around the purpose of giving a Merry
Christmas to those in Santa Fe who need
it most. 8er ~
