Uncle Sam wants the Best Men

Why so many men are rejected for
military service is partially explained by
the weekly report of recruiting officer
Sergeant G. c. Wright, compiled after
the recent drive for recruits in the
United States Marine Corps.
Out Of 1872 applications for enlistment
during the week only "a were accepted.
Others were rejected for the following
causes: under age 81: underweight 80:
defective vision 26: defective hearing
4: flat feet 16. Sixty-one others were
rejected as undesirable" through
failure to meet the exacting mental,
moral, and physical requirements.
The standard of the Soldiers of the
Sea" is very high, though certain
notifications may be put into effect
later, should it be necessary to follow
the precedent Of the countries that have
been draining their man power for three
years. Sergeant Wright says that at
present II per cent. is about the
average Of acceptances throughout the
country.

a large number OF people. 1t appealed
to all that is best in man. 1t appealed

It was known too, and admitted by many
that the employer did not always pay a

Soldier Boys to the Leaven-

The Echo received communication
this week from one Of the little troop
of soldiers stationed at the G. N.
power house, four miles up the Tum-
water cayon, in which they express their
appreciation for table dainties sent
them by some OF the thoughtful
mothers Of the town. Doubtless a
variation from the rations furnished by

that many workingmen had a right to
make a demand for a higher wage.
With this appealing and catchy slogan
the socialist party made some political
progress and elected congressman,
state Legislators, mayors and council
men. 1t even made a respectable
showing in presidential elections. The
socialist party appealed to mems in
telligence and spirit Of fairness. I'm
fortunately, tho, there was an element
in the party, in their attitude to the
existing state Of things under our gov
eminent, and the method by which
reforms are brought about, are compar-
able to nothing so much as the Ger
mans. To this element in the socialist
party the method OF gaining converts
and becoming the dominant party so
they could in an orderly manner under
our government give their theories the
force Of law, was altogether too slow.
and they set about organizing what has
come to be known as Independent
Workers of the World. They started
out with Direct action" for their
watchword, which, according to their
literature out-Germans the Germans.
The Germans propose to solve every
problem that comes up by force. The
I. w. WIS propose to solve the ques,
ton OF the unequal distribution OF
wealth bv practicing stealth, deception,
intimidation, and finally force. They
go to work for an employer at the pre-
vailing wage and wait until he needs
their services most, when to quit means
loss for the employer, then they they
demand an increase OF wages. II under
the stress OF conditions the increase is
granted they Immediately demand an
other increase. If refused they strike
and ask all others to strike with them.
First they persuade.
Then thev threaten other employees,
and this failing they use force. If the
strike does not bring an increase OF
wages they advocate Sabotage, which
is destroying the employers property.
The I. w. WIS frankly admit they will
not be satisfied with any wage soever.
They want to break up the wage sys-
tenn. One l. w. w. told the writer
that he would not be satisfied until he
could sit behind John D. Rockefeller
desk and John D. took his place in
the ranks OF the l. w. WIS. What
they propose to substitute for the wage
system their literature does not tell.
Neither can one OF their curb stone
orators give one an intelligent and con-
elusive answer. The burden OF the
l. w. w. teaching is destruction. They
have nothing constructive to offer in
place Of the system that has been rec
ognized in this world from the begin
ming OF time. The socialists believe
in conservation. They have a con-
structive theory OF settling the working
mans troubles. Not so the l. w. WIS

Our t4tst Anniversary Observed in
Chastened Spirit.

ChdStCIlCu opllit.
The effect OF our entrance into the
great war was no where so noticeable
as in the way our anniversary as nation
was observed. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that it was observed with less
buster and oratory and less fuss and
fireworks than ever before. Neither is
it an exaggeration to say that more oil
our people observed the day in sober
and thoughtful reflection than ever be-
fore. The cessation from our accustom-
ed occupation gave time for just such
occupation. Along with the reflection
that 141 years ago our ancestors
we're engaged 10 war, the object OF
which was to free US from the overload
ship OF a nation across the sea-to give
the people who had left kith and kin
and crossed the ocean and built homes
in a new and untried land, endured
hardships and deprivations, the right to
make their own laws, work out their
own destiny as best suited their purpose
and surroundings. Along with this re
Election came the thought that today
we are engaged in war the outcome OF
which means for the whole civilized
world what the war of 1916 meant Tor
the original thirteen colonies, that they
waged, and waged successfully, the war
of independence. The war in which
the United States is today engaged is
notion conquest or indemnity. 1t is
waged in the first place to make our
position among the nations OF this
world more secure from assault by
ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS autocratic-
ically ruled nations, and to help other
people establish their governments
on the consent of the governed
Should the central powers win in this
war, make no mistake, it would put
certain premium and lend tremendous
import to the German system. German
victory would convince the world that,
if not the best, it is the most efficient,
the strongest and the most durable
government. On the dial of democracy
it would turn the hands backward two
hundred years. The very first thing
Germany would undertake would be to
restore the imperial government OF
Russia. Having accomplished that her
next undertaking would be to conquer
the United States. In which under
taking she would have the active
assistance OF almost every citizen in
this country with drop of German
blood in his veins. Here again make
not the mistake of thinking that our
German American citizens would side
against Germany. The very fact of her
winning in Europe would have the
effect OF making almost every German
American side with the government
that had seemed to show its superior
right to exist. 1t is. however, unthink-
able that Germany can win. To think
of her winning the war is to put might
above right To leave to might the
right to decide every world controversy
to make force the guiding principle
in every human undertaking. No,
Germany can not. Must not win. The
fight must go on if every nation becomes
involved, every drop of human blood
is spilled. What Germany is fighting
for can not, must not prevail.

Well, little book, my prophecy was
Il right. A pleasant day was had
y aII'' when Mollie's mother came

by ALL when Mollie's mother came
over.
If Mr.. Trent had not been with her
think 1 should have gone mad. I
wish you had eyes, little book, to see
her since she married Mr.. Trent. She
feels her present happiness has come
to her so late in life as a reward for
her Wel-spent and ardUOUs existence
with Dad WaVeTly and the children.
Mr.. Trent is a splendid man and
he is certainly very fond of his wife
And here is the queer thing about it,
little bOok-her son, her son-in-law
and almost every other man she ever
came in contact with, except Dad
Waverly and Mr.. Trent, have not
cared for her at all.
Poor old dad worked like a dog,
and because he was not a money
maker-he was a man who would
rather read and write books than sell
them-he was always being nagged.
Mrs. Trent, when she was Mrs. Wa
verify, was always finding fault with
him and making him and everyone
else about her unhappy.
Now that she is married to Mr..
Trent and has plenty of money at
her disposal it would be pathetic if it
were not so ridiculous to see how she
brings to life her old longing and
prejudices and babies them.
She has reduced her figure and,
cOrseted and massaged, made up
and handsomely gowned, she looks
about fifteen years younger than she
really is. Her hair she has dyed the
bronze brown of the latest fashion
and she wears all the wonderful col
Ors, friIls and furbelows that l am
sure she wanted to wear when she
was 25 and could not.
Her makeup and dress nearly
drive MoIlie and Dick crazy, for you
know, little book, everyone's mother
is, of course, different from any 9TH
er woman.

But you wear them, MoIlie-"

Madame Symone, who is older
than your mother, wears them"
THAT is just it-Madame Symone
is not my mother"
You've said it, my dear MoIlie.
