A SONG FOR 1917
(Song rights reserved, M. L. Hittle.)
Oh, I wish I'd a soldier for a sweet
heart,
A soldier or. a sailor so brave,
One who gladly would die for his
country
If need be his country to save.
I've no use for a man who's a coward,
Who cringes at the bugle's call.
If I can't have soldier for a sweet
heart,
I don't want a sweetheart at all
Not a fop who can think of fash
ions foIlies,
Not a sport who can play golf with
vim,
Not a miser that stays to pile up dol
lars
While his country is calling for
him.
Just a man who is brave and cour-
ageoUs,
Who rallies at his coUntry's call.
If can't have a soldier for a sweet
heart,
won't have a sweetheart at all.
(Chorus.)
Three cheers for our men who are
fighting,
Three cheers for our new men so
brave,
Three cheers for our army and navy,
Three cheers for our cOIOrs that
wave.
Oh, long may they wave DER our
country
And never in ignOmy fall,
If my sweetheart won't fight for his
country,
He can't be my sweetheart at all.

ened, force was sUpplanted in all law
cases by reason. Until about the
time of the Civil war the duel was
the way gentlemen indicated their
honor. This habit has also become
absolete as men became more en-
lightened.
Armed force is still regarded by
some as justifable where national
honor, rights, ETC., are concerned.
But in the United States are many
people who regard armed force as
stupid, expensive and cruel.
Clarence barrow mentions by way
of Illustration the pTizefighter who
resorts to foul tactics because he
cannot win any other way. There
fore he ought to be disqualified
and he compares the prizefghter
with Germany.
Granted, but suppose one Of the
spectators steps in and gets a clOut
by accident? Or suppose he sells a
horseshoe to one. of the fighters to
place in his glove? Wouldn't the
other fellow be justified in saying
that the next time the spectator
stepped over the line he would swat
him?
The course of the United States is
that of the spectator who sells a
horseshoe to one of the fighters in
the ring, thanks to our munitiOn
makers, etc. And now we are grieved
because this internationally correct
practice is about to be stopped.
Clarence barrow also refers to the
words of Patrick Henry, that the
Revolutionary war was not the result
of a sudden passion for liberty, but
the logical and inevitable fruit of the
years of agitation and discussion
which preceded the cOunTy's break
with England.
