AMERICAN LABoR's PATRIOTISM

No new testimony as TO the quality of AmerI-
can labor's patriotism is needed, for the record
speaks for itself; but 1t is gratifying to find a
man acquainted with conditions IN other coun-
tries saving that the American workman is con-
t1bufiOn in measure not anywhere excelled
to the Hation's efficiency Ia war. Crawford
Vaughan. former premier Of South Australia
and known at home as labor leader, who came
to this country at the request Of the United
States government to discuss conditions with
labor leaders here, says that noehere in the al
lied world will be found a higher spirit Of
patriotism or more determination to support
the governmer1 in the present crisis than he
finds in the great mass Of workingmen now la
boring to keep America at its maximum of war
production
Mr. Vaughan landed at San Francisco sew
eral months ago. He has attended labor con-
ferences in states re presenting all parts of the
country What he learned in his survey is
summed up in the statement that if all other
countries now waging war against Germany
could boast labor situation equal in patriot
ism and efficiency to that in the United States
the allies would have no occasion to fear that
industrial troubles would arise TO hamper their
governments in the conduct Of the war
His statement is reassuring, all the more "a
because it is sustained by the countrv,s av
perence since we entered the war It is truo
that there have been strikes by men engaged
on government work, but appeals to patriot
ism have been needed and work resumed pend

fine spirit already shown will be needed more
and more as the war goes on. There is every
reason to believe that it will not fail, and that 2
lesson OF the war of nestimabe value will be

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
VOICES OF THE HILLS.

The voices of the hills are calling me,
Birches whisper Come thou back again
Signing elms in loneliness complain,
The oaks are deep in dreams enthralling
The bluebirds keep their secrets for my ears,
Thrushes do not sing with me away,
The robin but begins his roundeiay,
And whippoor-will is stiIled by lonely fears
The little paths would trodden be again,
Flowers would feel the JOY OF my caress,
Bending ferns their loneliness confess,
The gentle bluebells ring a sad refrain
Oh hush the citys noise and silent be
Its traffic and its praise OF empty art:
longing for the hills fills all my heart
The hills SO old so young so strong and free,
The voices OF the hills are calling me!

THE SPREAD OF DEMOCRACY.

The tendency everywhere in evidence, on
which acute observers in all the belligerent ma
tons agree, is the spread of the spirit of unity
and fraternity among the peoples and progress
toward truer democracy and brotherhood. 1t
is very apparent in our own army where rich
and poor, ignorant and educated, take their
equal place in the ranks and proceed to show
the stuff of which they are made. There is
very little fayoritism and, to the honor of our
soldiers, it be truly said that there is little
desire or expectation of it. The feeling.is gen.
eral that merit should win, that achievement is
the test by which men should be measured, that
previous conditions count for nothing and that
every round of the ladder of promotion belongs
by right to the man whose ardor, heroism and
capacity for leadership enables him to reach it.
This is as it should be. Performance, capa-
bility, is the true measure of manhood In a
democratic state, and is the cornerstone on
which the commonwealth of Christendom must
be built America has taken longer steps TO-
wards it than any of the European nations, for
we began by abohshing civic distinctions and
opening to individual merit all the avenues to
eminence and success. Our forefathers left
caste and hereditary privilege behind them and
later corners have had to break with their past
and stand on an equal footing with the rest
The lure of equality of opportunity and equal
ity before the laws have drawn millions to
our shores; and beyond all question it is easier
for ability to win recognition here than in any
European country. But out of this war, as all re-
Elective persons are agreed, is coming democ-
ratization of the older nations and conditions
more nearly approximating to our own.

In case of illness we have the
medical department to take care of
US, and you needn't think for once
that we will not have the proper
care, for that is mistake. If any

don't believe that you can find a
man who has been in the service

gained from three to twenty pounds
in weight. So you may judge from
this that we do not suffer from
hunger.

To Take A Hand In The
Fight In France

Editor Record:-I would enjoy
talking face to face with my rela-
tives and neiehbors and friends in
Sharp county, but as l have not
that opportunity | will take this
opportunity Of saying few words,
with the editors permission.
This leaves me we'll and in good
condition in every respect, so far as
know. | have spent a year in
military service, and so far as | can
see am better off, both physically
and mentally, than when joined
the army. My honest opinion is
that military service is one Of the
greatest upbuilders and man-pro-
ducing machines that America has
today. Of course it must be admit.
ted that the life is hard at times,
but we just have to make the best
of that.
Uncle Sam does not require un-
necessary punishment, as a great
many people think. When you
stop to think about it, you will
know we have one of the greatest
propositions before US the world
has ever known, and why should
we think a soldier would have
many idle minutesY We are using
most Of the daylight now.
We have quite a number Of new
men to train and, believe me, we
have no time to play. ! am sorry
to say we failed to get any Arkan-
sas boys at all in the last lot, but
we have a fine bunch Of men and
a very intelligent class from Ohio,
Kentucky and elsewhere. We have
preachers. lawyers, bank cashiers,
bartenders, soda-jerkers, musicians,
electricians, stenosraphers, eamb-
lers, etc. but all Of them have
come to understand that they are in
the army and that the only way to
Get out Of 1t is to whip hell out Of
the kaiser. They seem to take
great delight in making prepara-
tions to do that. My own idea Is
that Uncle Sam sent some Of the
best men overseas few months
ago that he has ever sent, and no
doubt he will send some more over
soon.
We are under much better condi.
tiOns for tralning men for service
than We were twelve months ago,
owing to the fact that the Officers
and n0n.C0Inmlssi0ned officers art
better prepared for their duties
than they we're year ago, when
we were all recruits.
As for me, there Is nothing en-
Joy more than u snappy close'order
drill, | can see no no need ior par
ents grieving so much because
their boys are in the army. OF
course It Is hard to give them up
and a great many are needed at

take notice they are rendering the
greatest assistance possible, both
to the nation and to the American
