An old timer compares with punch the atti-
tude Of the man who is too proud to fight and the
other chap who doesn't want to fight, but will if
he has to, in the following words. Some men take
insult after insult and smile because they are
afraid to do otherwise. On the other hand without
entirely agreeing with the Colonel he reminds us
of the fellow who says let alone I'll knock
II out of you The other fellow knows he will
do it and remains at respectful distan e."

Funny isn't it that even the most perfect melod-
les become bore after they shrieked out on
every photograph, brass band paror piano and
nickelodeon in the country. Take, for instance,
that pearl "The End of a Perfect Day." superb in
melody and fine in thought as it is. Every church
service afternoon tea and event of any kind has
heard this song until the auditors begin to wish
shat the perfect day ended for good. Too bad
we can't take the really fine things and lock them
up for occasional delectation

Now the Illinois soldiers returning with their
regiments find themselves without occupations
the positions they left when the guard modified
were not held open for them. This is certainly
fine state of affairs. Without doubt many of these
self-same employers who, in state of emotion,
promised the soldiers safe berth, took second
thought when their profits affected and hired
a new man. The upshot Of the matter is that de-
pending upon what people will do in state of emo
tional excitement is mighty slim reed to lean
That also the U. S. government should attack the
entire matter of volunteer soldering from
angle, forget precedent and SIG month and put on
the business dignifed and remunerative basis.
If we need soldiers to risk their lives that
may pursue ganful and peaceable pursuits we
can certainly afford to pay them what the job is
worth and not shed crocodile tears about the old
flag and patriotism.

Anna Moran, the petite Milwaukee purse snatch
er, quaed and broke into tears when faced by the
Waupun prison walls for three years time. One
feels rather sorry for her. but the Anna Morans OF
this world having broken laws, really deserve lit
tie sympathy. The woman claims that she was
forced into crime because her husband, no-ac-
count fellow, would not support her. That is a
good reason and another is that Anna Moran was
probably too lazy to accept honorable but humble
toll in order to live virtuous life How many
do see with large broods of little
ones, working at mental labor and maintaining
their dignity and the esteem Of their acQuaintan-
ces? Women of the latter class deserve the respect
and good will of everyone.
