WORK AND rDLrNBss


Man has been created in the like
ness Of his maker and has not seem
ed to appreciate the blessings in Ii,
most benehcial manner. He ha,
caused many things to be don,
against his brethren for the benef,
Of some other person that really wol
an injury, to all three. But thest
things are comitted in the career oi
man, no matter how we'll educated
he may be or how great any othe,
qualifications he may have are. 4,
II one Of those habits OF man that
needs to be corrected and practiced
In another manner. 2.
But that is not the destiny Of ali
men; It may be the ideal Of some,
but they ore few. The world ID
somewhat blessed in not having %
many men who like to be idle and
live in an easy way, not caring for
anything that pertains to them or
anything else. There seems to be
q great number Of these kind of pso-
pie. but in search throughout the
world, in the milling centers, fac
tories, ofiices and all other places of
labor reQuisitions, 1t would be sur
prising to find that more of the men,
women and children are working to
support themselves and families, not
some vagabond that loafs with them
and consumes that which they labor
for. ~
Railroads and other means Of
are somewhat molest-
ed by non-paying class that like to
ride for nothing and do many other
things that they like to secure for
the mere cost Of stealing. They
steal rides, they rob banks, they rob
people Of their lives and do other
things that are too numerous to men,
ton. Nearly all of this sort Of the
80 called men are able to do even
the hardest of work and relieve the
and small children who are
toiling away their lives in the fac
tories and other places. This is
\ shame to the human race and to
hose who are causing It.
Idleness Is causing homes to be
destroyed and families to be wreck
ID. It is causing things to happen
hat brings about great wailing and
It is running men who
would make the best Of leaders to
,airous warks; and it is being made
IN example to the oncoming gener-
ltion which will look into the traces
If the forerunning race Of people
Ind follow in their steps which will
,ot only bring incidence but ruin
md disgrace.
But in the present time. the per-
ION who does not work and stays
die, no matter II he has enough to
,upport him and his without work.
s an injury to himself, to his coun-
ry and hisfellow man. II he has
money enough for easy living now,
,e has boarded it at some time and
las a great amount on hand now
hat is literally useless to himself
md to his country. At this time
III people should be working at some
,seful employment and helping in
he war which Is the war Of the
world for freedom of the rights of
nan. 1t is nothing wrong to live
t ease II one is an aged person, nor
8 it wrong in time of peace, but now
8 entirely different time. and all
hose who are physically able should
york and support their part.
But let all men forget the past
md help make the best Of the pre-
ent and the future; help their bre-
hern. work and be useful.

OUR PATRIOTISM AWAKENED
The appearance of the submarine
n American waters is a signal
which has truly awakened the slum-
'ering Americans who did not fully
ealize the gravity of the war. We
