JUST FOLKS
THE AMERICAN ARMY.
BY Edgar A. Guest.

They ma, he short on practice, it's not
forty years they've drilled.
With the Joys of free born children all
their boyhood has been filled.
But I've seen them in their barracks and
I've seen them in their camps,
And I've heard them sing their dlttics on
their long and dusty tramps,
md I've looked into their faces, and We
seen their eyes aglow,
They are IL in soul and spirit and they re
ready now TO 90.
Not for years have eyee been shining az
the Dyes Of them today;
Youth has seldom seemed so splendid ne
these hoy. who march AWAY.
They may lack in martial training vhat Is
fine in dress parade,
Put it's not by drill and tactics that the
braveat soldiers made
It's the spirit that's within him that must
reach perfection, too,
And their souls are fit and ready Tor the
work they have to do.
They may not wheel precisely like grim
gray wNr machine.
But there's more ihnn outward fitness
to their bodies straight and clean,
Mud YOU feel II in their presence ana Won
read II in their eyes.
A subtle hint of splendor deep within
each soldier lies
lust to soc them is assuring. and your
fears are put Ia rest,
They are spiritually perfect md theN r.
ready for the test
Good Old Glory, don't Won see II rs Won
float upon the breeze
You may safely trust your honor to Rnch
splendid lads theae.
Arc YOU fearful. q my country Look onoe
more into their eyes
And Won soc N them the courage and the
faith that never dies
They are training for the battle grim old
tutors teach them how
They must fight for truth and freedom
hut their souls arc ready now

of carefully considering the situation and
determining for themselves, quietly ana
fairly, whether the City Council is right
or wrong
That City Council will bc compelled to
make an increase in tho city tax rate Tor
the ensuing year is inevitable. There rs
enlarged demand IN every department
Of the city administration. Tho Pohcc
Department needs more money; the
Stree; and Sewer Department must have
more money or neglect important and
essential improvements: the public schools
undoubtedly must have more money, or
their efficiency will he sadly impaired
This situation is not surprising. A the
cost of living in all other respects has
amazingly increased in recent years, there
is no reason To suppose that admlnlstra-
tions Of the affairs Of government can he
conducted on the basis of tho old-timc
scale of prices. The cost of government
has advanced materially, as well as the
cost of living. And the only way IN which
the increased cost of administration may
be met is by an increase III the rate OF
TAXATION
Such is the situation that conironts tho
CITY Council II is hoped, however, IT will
restrict the increase as much as possible,
especially rs the assessment for county
taxation has been increased so materially
this year, and Wilmington property own
crs will have TO bear the burden Of this
probably much larger county TAXATION
The City Council must increase the city
tax rate The Levy Court should make a
material reduction IN the county tax rate
