Steady, Boy!

Consider the horse.
First thing in the morning the horse
Is hitched up Then the driver climbs
I'm back of the reins. All day long the
horse goes where the driver bids. He
stops when the driver shouts, Whoa,
and starts again when the driver yells,
"Geddup," The horse attends no movies
after working hours He just sticks
around his stall and rests UP for the next
days work.
Some people when they consider
horses get awfully sentimental. They
waste a lot Of sympathy on the horse.
What the horse really should have is not
sympathy, but admiration.
Service is the chief aim Of life, the
only aim, and the horse doesn't do a
blamed thing but serve.
Are you tired of serving? PiTle!
Consider the horse.

Eyes Right!
by oRAFRANN CRANE
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Crane)

We are at war, and war is stern bust
ness.
Not only must men go and give their
lives. and women weep with breaking
hearts. and fortunes fail, and hopes and
plans be sacrificed and convictions
stined.
Yes. the spiritual sternness Of war is
not insignificant
You don't believe in war. Neither did |.
You thought it the curse of selfish kings,
the stupidity Of blind statesmen. the in
conclusive ravening Of brute force. II
was so unnecessary. 1t might so easily
have been avoided It is-the monstrous
shame and drunken folly of civilization.
Truel But the cohorts OF barbarous
ruthlessness have moved to crush the
hope Of democracy. The wolves are at
the door. The maniacs of militarism
howl in the streets of the world. The
twisted morality Of crazy pride has
pulled God from His throne and set
thereon race pride.
SO let us, hating war as We do. take
up the sword We can do no other.
Our country after long patience. has
solemnly unfurled its banner and entered
the lists We can do nothing else than
put our cherished hope Of world peace
away until the terror be overpast.
When the floods threaten it is every
man to the bikes, 70 save the houses in
the valley.
When the conhagration spreads. il Is
every man 70 fight the fire.
When the savage war-whoops ill the
air, and the murderous barbarians
swoop down upon the village. it is every
man to his rifle and the women to load
ing guns
Socialism may be desirable, and pacif-
ism our ultimate goal, and capital and
labor may need adjusting, and a whole
lot of things in our country be wrong
I and call for reform but we've no time
/ TO argue now When We have routed the
foe and saved the fabric Of civilization
/ from destruction, we will take these mat
\ ters up.
For there is no conceivable problem
that will not be a hundred fold more des-
perate if Germany wins.
Let military junkerdom come off vic
torious and every reform viii be set back
