MAKE THEM FEEL AT HOME.

Whenever you see a soldier boy wandering
walk up and get acquainted with him and make
him feel at home, glad that he came to Olympia
for his short vacation from camp And if you
can, take him home to dinner and give him real
home meal and taste of the pleasant home at
mOsphere he misses much-he will be your
friend forever, if you will.
That is what those boys want more than any
thing else-friends They're 'just folks like
the rest of us, lots of them have come from dis
tant states and many of them are away from
home for the first time, plunged into something
entirely new, something a little different than
they ever had to tackle before. And they miss
home and home life, friends and acquaintance,
and all that they mean to person. They wander
off down here, and we can meet them and greet
them and jolly them little, talk to them in a
pleasant, friendly sort of way, not inquistively,
and with few kind words, with the display of
little of that interest we all have supply for them
that friendliness and sat home' feeling for
which they are blindly looking.
Olympia is preparing to entertain it's soldier
visitors with the contributions so generously
made by its citizens week or so ago, and there
isn't any question but what more and more of
them will come over to Olympia every week. The
greatest thing we can do for them, better than all
the dances or all the other forms Of entertain
ments that may be arranged, will be to extend a
friendly greeting as we meet them on the street,
and invitation, when we can, to a little friend
~ meal At home.

WILSON AND LABOR.

OF all the epoch marking events that are hap
pening these days, not the least in its benefcent
effect toward the coordination of the manpower
and the popular thought of the country into one
great unity toward the wholehearted prosecution
of the war will be the speech delivered by Presi-
dent Wilson before the American Federation of
Labor at the opening Of its convention last week.
The more one studies that remarkable address,
the more one ponders over it and the wealth of
meaning that stands out between the lines the
more one becomes convinced that the welfare Of
the country as whole and Of its people, particu-
larly its common, ordinary, everyday people, will
be well looked after so long as President Wilson
is running things.
Never has any of our presidents any of
our most prominent public men talked so plainly
or SO frankly on the subject of the civilization
old problem, capital and labor and their numer-
GUS controversies. Usually the subject is ap-
preached with bountiful supply of 'soft-soap''
and pretty phrases but no facts, wealth Of gen.
eralities and platitudes like friend Roosevelt
purveys once in WHILE for example, but no
direct expression of the shared responsibility and
no straight talk. = For example, Wilson had the
nerve, daring that none Of his predecessors has
had, to state publicly that not all the blame for
strikes and labor troubles rests on the working
people, but that "there are others who do the
same" and that the working people ARE reason
able in ! larger number Of cases than the capital
iufs.'' Yet he did mot give the laboring class
wholly ssclean bill Of health for he hesitated
not to ny to them, though he was undoubtedly
addreeSng tAs other sids, too, that ''some Of the
processes BY which the struggle between capital
and labor il carried on are processes that come
vsry near 70 taking the law into your own hands"
MA that ''the fundamental lesson Of the whole
situation i that We must not only take common
counsel, but that We must yield to and obey COM
nen counsel =
'TAese things he said - and their Importance
ana influence can hardly be estimated now-with
ne direct assertion, II might Is well say right
Aere am not talking to you alone" and the
statement little later that they have to be said,
not IN any spirit Of criticism but in order to clean
tie atmosphere and come down to business. =
Ana that il what they will do, and in the doing
vii hold more firmly to the presidents support
the great mass Of the people Of the country, show
ing them that here il m executive who sees some
thing else besides property and wealth and mate

it aggressively.

support in this great crisis than anything that he

HATS orr. BOYS.

We men sometimes think we carry all the bur-
dens Of the world and do most of the work, but
when somebody sticks under our noses q state
ment like that given by our local Red Cross chap
ter last week, showing its remarkable growth and
IT. surprising accomplishments since it was
Ganixed last February, we have to take of our
hats 10 the ladies. We men have helped some in
that work, tits true, with contributions, and per-
sonal help and suggestions but the most of it has
been done by the women, and to great many Of
them it has meant considerable personal sacrifice
and effort.
They are doing noble work and doing it earn
estly, with no other hope Of reward than the sat
isfaetion Of duty well done, which we have to
admit cannot be said Of all the men who are going
about these days shouting patriotism from the
house-tops. Theirs is patient, painstaking task,
ofttimes approaching drudgery, in their homes or
chapter workshops, while we men come along
only when the bands are playing and flags waving
and patriotic display comes easily.
We can learn lot from them, boys. Hats off!
