Thoughts ON Public Duty.

Malvern, Ia, Oct. SOTO the Edi
tor Of The Bee: on course this is the
peoples war and nobly are they re-
spending with blood and treasure.
This is a country 'for the people, by
the people and Of the people," All
soldiers are to be honored and de-
serve care alike, whether red, black
or white, The peace all nations de-
sire is when Hindenburg and Luden-
dorf shall disband their soldiers and
each hand his sword to Pershing and
Foch and say they began the war
like heathens, but will end it like
gentlemen and never will war any
more. Any one who lives to our
costitution is patriot. and anyone
who does not is traitor. I admire
our soldiers because they are our
defenders. Our elections are near
and don't forget for minute If any
one holds an office for which he is
not fit, elect one who is.
