THIS MOTHER GAVE HER ALL
Touching Incident Of Sacrifice on the
Altar Of Her country's Need.

One Of the touching incidents OF
General Lyons march 10 Wilson creek
was that OF a Tennessee mother bring
Ing her little boy TO the captains tent
and offering him for the service Of his
country The boys father had been
KILLED IN battle and the mother and
boy were alone IN the world. The
bright eyes and alert bearing Of the
little chap. for he wns scarcely thir-
teen years Of nge, caught the eye OF
the captain and he asked what the
boy could do. II can drum" he said
proudly stretching himself 70 his full
height. And he could as the fifer
soon found out as he played "The
Flowers Of Marlborough. a most diff
iicult piece to follow with the drum.
"AIadnm, tn take the hoy" said the
captain. The mother kissed her boy
and turning to the captain said
Bring him back. captain, and 10 the
boy she said as she placed her hand
on his eager little head God bless
you my boy. You're all l have left
but I give you 10 my country, and
drum right brnvely for the boys IN
blue" During the heavy fntigulng
marches from Rolla TO Springfield it
was amusing 10 see the long-legged
iifer wading through the mud with our
little drummer hero mounted on his
back. During the fight at Wilson
creek the cheery fife and brave drum
beat time for the soldier boys in bat
tie. The fight led down into a deep
ravlne and 1t was not long before our
drummer boy was in the midst Of the
fray. That night the detail on guard
duty near the ravine thought he
heard family the sound of a drum. He
listened in the moonlight and when
the relief came he asked permission to
90 IN search Of the little drummer lad.
He followed the sound Of the drum
and soon found our hero seated on the
ground with his back against a tree
and his faithful drum hanging on a
bush. He dropped his drum sticks as
the guard came up and exclaimed:
"Oh, corporal, am so glad to see. you.
Give me drink" and as he turned to
60 to get him water, he pleaded: "Oh,
don't go and leave me. / can't walk"
His little legs had been shot off at
the knees. Looking closer he discov-
cred a dead soldier lying In the grass,
but evidently before he died he had
put a tourniquet about the stumps of
the little legs, The brave lad was
carried into camp and given surgical
attention. but the brave little spirit
went out into the brightness and glory
OF q duty well done and country
served even unto death.

Ipeace. He is much more apt 60 be a
faithful. conscientious servant than II
he had not had military training ITO
enters public service in time OF peace
In more nearly the same spirit that hs
would enter military service In umc Of
war-namely, from a sense Of patriotic
duty and desire TO serve his country
and his fellowmen.
In recent years we have been hearing
great deal about government owner
ship OF our railroads. We are told that
in Germany the railroads are owned by
the government and that their opera
ton is most successful. This Is true.
but in Germany conditions are vastly
different.
The military training of the youth, in
fact, the entire trend of education IN
Germany is to impress upon the young
men of that land that they owe service
to their country. When a man enters
the governments employ in the rail-
road business he ia as conscientious as
he would be we're he entering the GOV.
ernment's service in time of war.
If our railroads were to be taken
over and operated by our government
at this time, how many Of You think we
would duplicate Germany's success2
Government ownership of railroads
may be as desirable in this country as
1t is in Germany, but we must first
have public servants who will at least
come somewhere near the standard OF
Germany's public servants In efficiency
and honesty
Look at the spectacle we are pre-
senting to the world Mt this very mo-
ment in our pork barrel legislation
Could we afford to have our railroads
operated by the same type Of public
servantsl
If our government is to endure, 4
we are to take our proper place among
the nations Of the world in the new civ
ilization, the man of the future must
Hive not for himself alone but for
others.

On the whole, the individualistsc
age has not been a success, either for
the individual, or the community IN
which he has lived, or the nation.
We are, beyond question, entering
on a period where the welfare of the
community takes precedence over the
interests of the individual and where
the liberty of the individual VIM be
more and more circumscribed for the
benefit of the community as a whole,
Mans activities will hereafter be
required to be not only for himself
but for his fellowmen.
To my mind there Is nothing In the
signs of the times so certain as this.
How the Rewards VIII Come.
Our only decoration-the almighty
dollar-is receding into the background.
The man Of exceptional ability, Of
more than ordinary talent, will here.
after look for his rewards, for his
honors, not In one direction but in
two:-First-and foremost-in some
public work accomplished, and. Sec
ondarily, In wealth acquired.
In place of having 1t said of him at
his death that he left SO many hundred
thousand dollars 1t will be said that he
rendered a certain amount of public
service and, incidentally, left a certain
amount of money.
Such a goal will prove a far greater
satisfaction TO him. he will live a more
rational, worth while life and he will
be doing his share to provide a better
country In which to live.
have two reasons for believing that
future conditions will be as / have
briefly sketched them:
First, because the world Is being
drawn together in one centralized
community through the wonderful de-
velopment in science and the marvel
lous work Of the inventor.
Second, because In our COUNTRY
especially we are entering upon a new
stage Of development, which calls
loudly for men who viii render dis
interested public service.
We face new conditions, and I'm
order to survive and succeed we viii
require q different spirit OF public
service.
One reason why I am strongly for
universal military training is that 1t
develops in the youth a sense Of all
around responsibility to his country,

Of intefcommunication and still adhere
to the laws, the precedents and the
book learning of their fathers.
This is OUR great problem. 1t is a
difficult, complicated problem and is
causing struggle of titanic proper
tions-a struggle to throw off In a
night, as it were, the presidents Of an
old world for the realities Of a new,
Precedent makes towards of US all.
But the educator, the scientist and the
inventor have left us no choice. We
must adjust our thought and action to
new conditions.
The changes of the last twenty-five
years socially, industrially and econom-
ically have been great, yet | believe
they are infinitesimal compared to the
changes that are coming.
/ believe these changes are going to
deal most largely with the relation
ship of man to man.
The Day of lndividualism Gone.
In this country We have been living
In an age Of the utmost freedom to the
individual. 1t has been the Individual
istic period, when the order of the day
has seemed to be every fellow for him
self and the devil take the hindmost."
We have glorled in the freedom Of
the individual and have practised this
freedom to a point where, In many
phases Of our life, II has amounted to
license to do almost anything that we
pleased or that brought profit or
fancied renown, regardless Of its effect
on ones fellowmen.
In the early days, when Instantaneous
intercommunication did not exist, when
education was meagre and science un-
developed. what the individual did was
Of comparatively small consequence, for
his deeds did not reach very far and
did not affect many people.
With intercommunication drawing
the world together In one centralized
community, the act of the individual
can affect a large number OF people;
therefore. that form of freedom which
Is simply another expression for H.
cense TO do as one pleasese can no
longer exist.

Mr.. Perkins reasons for his be-
lief are outlined in the following

that a man could not whip his horse an
much as he pleased he would have been
ridiculed. Indeed, In those days the
idea that a man had not the right to
beat his own child as he pleased was
given little attention.
When we were all driving horses and
buggies there was no speed limit and
man did not have to procure a
license to drive horse. With the ad-
vent of the automobile license has
become a necessity. The public must
know that the man who operates an
automobile knows first how to operate
1t and, second, to control 1t.
Society is finding It necessary to take
away much Of what has hitherto been
called freedom Of the individual" In
my judgment this process Is only In Its
infancy.
The freedom Of the business man to
do as he pleases is now being seriously
challenged, and l most heartily agree
with what Mr.. John d. Rockefeller, Jr,
said recently at Cornell University to
the effect that one Of the chief quail
fications for a manager of large busi-
ness concern Is rapidly coming to be
the human quality and ability to ad-
just differences between capitalist and
laborer and to understand their rela-
tionship.
Relation Of Capital and Labor.
Until recent years little broad think
ing was given to this problem and diff
ferences were settled on the basis Of
might makes right" All this Is rap
idly changing and we are entering q
period Of new industrial relationships.
In the long ago the relationship be.
tween capital and labor was that Of
owner and slave, then came the period
Of master and man. then the period Of
employer and employe, each period
being a decided step forward.
In my judgment we are just now en-.
tering period OF copartnership,
where the tool user will be part tool
owner and where capital and labor will
share more equitably In the profits Of
the business in which they are jointly
engaged.
This advance is inevitable because Of
our educational system, which teaches
the workingman to think for himself.
II Is inevitable because intercommuni-
cation has told the workingman In one
community what the workingman In
other communities are striving for and
achieving.
It Is inevitable, because strikes and
lockouts can never be settled satisfac-
tOrily or permanently by merely rails
ing a mans wages.
II Is inevitable because II gives sta
bflity to business and because It Is as
advantageous to capital e. 10 Labor.

The doctrine of Estate rights" IN
being rapidly demolished The ma
ton is being obliged to assume many
Of the functions of government here
tofore performed by the State. and
this tendency is growing.
The State, viewed as an individual
with the right to do as 1t pleases with

States, can no longer be tolerated
Only the nation can act In matters
that affect interstate relations. and
with ntercommunication and trans

their effects and consequences.
The World Is Drawing Together.
We must therefore take on new
nationalism. The world has been
drawn very closely together by the
cable and the transatlantic liner. but
1t is on the verge of being drawn in
finitely more closely together by the
wireless, the airship and the subma.,
rine telephone.
When these are practical, everyday
instruments of lntercommunication
and transportation the social prac-.
tees and the Industrial methods OF
one nation will quickly and seriously
affect all other nations. This win re-
quire the yielding by nations of GER

at them from this distance they seem
infinitesimal when compared with the
changes that have taken place In the
world the last quarter of a century and
the tremendous changes taking place
now.
George Washington was representa-
tive Of the best type Of American q
century and a half ago. He was a
scholar, a soldier and a statesman, yet
he did not know as much about science
as a young schoolboy of to-day.
Thomas A. Edison typifies The scien-
fist of our time, but the gap between
the man Of the Edison type and Wash
ington is probably greater than the gap
between Washington and the man
whose bones were recently discovered
near Trenton, n. j., said to have lived
$4,000 years ago.
The advances in science, intercom-
munication and in universal educa-
tlon-these three great factors account
for the stupendous progress this coun-
try has made In the last twenty-five
years.
They have swept away old prece
dents, old customs, and they will even
tually sweep away many Of the laws
now on our statute books.
The man Of to-day who does not
fully comprehend all this is doomed to
be somewhat of failure, while the
man who does comprehend 1t will have
taken a long stride toward success.
