There is no question about the
part the soldiers are going to play.
They are under orders, and they
are keen for the fray. If the people

real war strai.l is. Before we can
win, We must taste Of real sacrifice,
and the quicker we reach that point,
the greater The number of lives of
our soldiers will we preserve.
The tas!, C the American people
in the matter of food-stuffs is gigan-
tic and were it not for the magnif-
cent accomplishment of our people
already, we would not dare hope to
attain what is expected of us. Dur
ing the present fiscal year we must
export to our Allies 100000 tons
Of foodstuiis against the 100000

1t is harvest time here, and indeed
strange it seems to see the people
working in the fields with the same
methods and using the same kind of
reap-hooks that were in the hands
Of thereapers behind whom Ruth
cleaned on the real estate of one
Boaz. That is the usual method of
reaping in these parts. though l saw

late MIR. McCormick's invention. 1t
is fact, nevertheless, that however
antiquated or however new meth
cd they may employ they work, and
10 land is allowed to lie idle. Even
fields within few miles of the front
line trenches, where every now and
then shell whistles overhead in
search of road or a supply dump,
the people toll along unconcernedly,
as if there wasn't a war in thous-
and miles, calmly raising and har-
vesting their wheat. their oats, their
harley, their hops. their sugar beets,
on the same fields that their an

was reason for this. This is not q
boys war, they say at the front. 1T is
a mans war;. .
We quote the above from splendidly
edited Manchester College Bulletin, ad-
vising boys to prepare for higher educs-
tion in these war days.
But while it is true that the Civil War
was "a boys war" in another sense 1t is
not altogether true. The rapidity with
which war and war conditions changed
those boys into mature men can hardly
be realized. The early months of en-
listed life in wartime each add year Of
maturity to the boy. Thus the Civil
War was actually "man's war;"
When Johnny tries to cheer his mother
at parting by saying "Why, mamma
dear, the war won't last long. I'll soon
be home" she hopes that he will soon
come back, but she knows that ''her
johnny. is leaving her forever. When
Johnny comes marching home," he will
not be "Johnny' that was, but Mr..
Smith or Mr.. Jones, for then, even
though but few months have passed,
he has become mature man.
Thousands of boys of less than draft
age have voluntarily enlisted in the pres
ent war. In some ways their sacrlf.
ces are greater than the older men,
They have given up several years of
youth that normally belonged to them
and which are gone forever. The hap
piest and best days of life they have
given to their country. With these
years they have given up opportunities
of education, of business, of position, of
social engagements and many other
natural environments of the formative
period OF life.
The experiences of the Civil War
marked every soldier for the remainder
of his life; marks so distinct, that in
their faces, demeanor, and step one
knows them on sight.
Gall the old soldiers look alike" is q
common expression. Soon, very soon,
all the new soldiers will look alike, be.
cause while we have been writing of the
boys, we all know that the army is
composed mostly of very young men,
and all of these will live years of life in
the months they give in service. Every
soldier may not make the supreme sacri-
flee in giving all his life, but every SOL
dier will sacrifice some part of his life
for his country.

ARE PENSIONERS PAUPERs?

Last week the authorities decided to
discharge about one hundred and TWEEN.
ty-tive inmates of the Soldiers Home at
st. Paul, giving as reason that the
funds for the support of the veterans
were insufficient.
Minnesota claims to be the richest
state in the Union per capita.
In North Dakota last week the sup
rene court of the state handed down a
decision denying the right of a veteran
to enter the Lisbon Soldiers Home on
the ground that the "Home" is chari-
table institution and the applicant was
able to support himself from his own re-
sources
The Lisbon Home is supported en-
tirely by the income from the land
granted by the U. s. government when
North Dakota became state and for
several years has not taken dollar from
the state treasury.
Perhaps and probably the technical
language of the statutes permits the
ruling by the court that the Lisbon Sol
diers' Home is nothing more or less than
poor-house, and that It's inmates are
but public paupers.
But we want to protest right here and
now against any such meaning of the
law. The originators of the Soldiers
Home institution. in almost every state
in the Union. promoted these Homes"
as homes and not as almshouses. In
deed the homes were instituted almost
solely for exactly the opposite idea, that
the old veterans should not be compel
led to seek the poorhouses in their old
age and infirmlties. Further. it was not
charity to build and sustain these homes
but just partially paying debt owed by
the general public to the men who saved
this country to its people.
The idea of Soldiers Home also in.
cluded much more than mere food, shell
ter and clothing. The poor house would
do all that without instituting homes.
But the promoters wanted to give the
old fellows home as we'll as me ere sup.
H ! f
port. Hundreds of old veterans, by rea.
son Of death or separation Of their fami-
lies. or other circumstances. have no
home Of their own. With many Of these
lis not pecuniary question so much as,
place where they will be cared for and
where the environments will be con-
genial.
The decision Of the North Dakota SUP.
RENE court also implies every pensioner
| Of the Civil War pauper. The pension
like the home, given for the same reason
that the home was instituted, must also
be government charity. As AL Civil
War veterans ore now pensioners. all
therefore are public paupers.
Just now, the authorities o. Mime
