A Rare, Worth While Spirit.

Tom " Bodine, than whom there Is
no more charming writer for the Mis-
souri, press, says in the Paris Mercury
of the late Anderson Buckner, brother
of Mrs. A. F Neate of Columbia:
In the tributes paid to Anderson
Buckner one fact that marked him the
unusual man that he was seems to
have been overlooked. Into his life
had come no great sorrow. The cir
cumstances attending it from boy
hood on through manhood to the day
an untimeTy death overlook him were
unusually happy. While not rich
man. he never knew the bitterness Of
the economic struggle or the spiritual
defeats it brings. Living in comfort
and security, in truth favored one
he should have been, by all the laws
of psychological reaction, unsympa-
thetic, SNUG, callous to the sufferings
of others-that is, judging by the too
frequent example we see of the men
tai attitude produced by unruffled
lives. Yet, none was so quick to get
the viewpoint Of the man without
money or to measure human worth by
eternal values. His sympathies were
at times so poignant as to cause him
actual distress and he was never con-
tent until he had given them the full
est possible material expression. Down
in his heart he was a rebel against
conditions that produce so much of So
cial injustice and economic inequality.
and that attitude was reflected in the
radical political views to which he
held. All this may have been due to
the fine fiber of which he was made.
but freedom of choice played a part.
In any event he was indeed shining
light to all the SNUG whom material
prosperity has hardened to the troub-
les of those about them"

ONE OF THE WAR POEMS

In the United States Senate recent
ly Senator John Sharp Williams oi
Mississippi read the following war
poem, written by George Morrow Mayo
now a gunner's mate in the Navy:
Here's to the Blue Of the wind
swept North,
When we meet on the fields OF
France;
May the spirit Of Grant be with you all
AS the sons of the North advance.
And here's to the Gray of the sun
kissed South,
When we meet on the fields of
France;
May the spirit of Lee be with you all
AS the sons of the South advance.
And here's to the Blue and Gray as
one,
When we meet on the fields of
France;
May the spirit Of God be with US all
AS the sons of the Flag advance.

WORKING AT HOME

Not all the glory is to those who
are doing war work in distant parts.
The work done by those who are not
permitted to leave home may be even
more worth while.
The work being done by public
servants in Washington is necessary.
The work being done in our stores,
our shops, and our homes is no less
necessary.
The morale of the army is largely a
reflection of the morale Of the people
who are back Of them. The morale
of the nation is the reflection Of the
morale of the people who stay and
work at home.
AS you go about your daily round
of duties do not forget that you are
helping to win the war.

TEACHERS SALARIES.

The average salary of teacher in
the, country schools Of Missouri is
forty dollars per month. The salary is
for twenty days and is just enough to
pay the teachers board bill at first
class hotel for the same number OF
days. Is it any wonder that teachers
leave the profession at the first op-
portunity?
If education is worth while those
who are devoting themselves to its
activities should be given at least
reasonable compensation. If our pub
lie schools are to attract to them
teachers who are competent to do the
work that must be done the COM
pensation and the tenure must be made
satisfactory. The patrons must do
their full duty If the public schools
OF today are to become the training
schools of democracy for tomorrow.

FOR. AFTER THE WAR

Missouri should have State Com
mission to consider after the war
problems. Such a commission should
include in its membership leaders in
Missouri life who in a thorough, dis
interested way will bring to the serv-
ice Of the state a study Of the states
problems that can be accomplished by
no existing organization. The Globe
Democrat in one of its excellent edi-
torials says:
Washington announces that the
President has finally ordered a sur
vey of the country as basis of scien-
tific preparedness for after-the-war
problems, which is to be done under
the direction of the Council of National
Defense and its Advisory Commission.
As the Globe Democrat has often said,
both before and subsequent to our
entering the war, this is a matter that
we have been delaying at our peril.
Both our friends and our enemies in
the war have been making elaborate
studies of the situation. There have
been notices of wholesale abrogation
Of commercial treaties. The British
commission, appointed comparatively
early in the war, has already made an
exhaustive preliminary report, which
has been published in this country. 1t
has also been possible to ascertain the
salient features of the commercial
plans of the central powers.
THE Council of National Defense
outlines an ambitious program, in
cluding rehabilitation of the army
and navy and the reabsorptioR Of in
dustrial war workers into peace in
dustries, conservation of war indus
ries to peace needs, restoration of in
dustries curtailed by the war, sale of
government property, industrial re-
lations of capital and labor, foreign
and trade problems, the tariff, indus
trial and scientific research, the mer-
chant marine, railroads, Americaniza-
ton of aliens, education, government
life insurance and finance. This would
appear to be quite lot Of work to be
added to the duties of national de-
fense. But there is to be aid from all
the departments and bureaus Of the
government, including, We presume,
the consular service, which can give
the most vital help in ascertaining
where we can find markets for the
products of the war industries turned
to peace work and what we may get
in exchange for such products.
1T would appear that the work
should be undertaken by body that
would make it its whole business.
While some incidental aid to prose-
cution of the war may be procured
from the survey, it would be far bet
ter to have experts named for this
particular work suggest these Incl
dentals than to have the mind of men
who should be chiefly concerned in
prosecuting the war suffer the distrac-
tions the survey will bring"

-SHOCK TROOPS IN HARVEST
They Are Leaving Cities and Towns to
Aid Farmers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July s.
SHOCK troops" are busy in American
wheat fields, as well as on the western
battle front When the German war
lords command an advance at any
cost, shock troops are sent forward 10
buy yards of ground with thousands
of lives, but the American agricultural
"shock troops" advance in a different
manner They are town men who
have volunteered to help farmers cut
and shock their wheat, and thus are
doing their part in making the battle
line firm.
Here are two instances, reported to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, of how towns and cities are
helping to meet the need for harvest
workers on American farms:
A South Dakota county has organ
lied all its towns. When labor is
needed all business places close early
and the town men go in automobiles
to every quarter of the county. When
they come to fields cut but not shocked
they get out and shock, and then pro-
ceed to other fields needing them.
They don't talk about pay or who is
doing the work "If the farmer wants
to donate the money which he would
spend for labor to the Red Cross that
is his business" says a letter from
South Dakota, "and 1 think that is
where most of the money will CO."
"Shock troops" are cutting and
shocking wheat in Warrick County,
Ind, also. Volunteer business men,
clerks and laborers in the towns fin
ish their town work and then are TAX
en- in automobiles to help the farmers.
In one evening forty men shocked
more than eighty acres Of wheat.
These forces have been organized
through cooperation of farm help
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. county
agents, county councils of defense and
other bodies.

"On April 6, 1917, the United
States Of America entered the great
war. with the sole object of guaran-
teeing national liberty to those peo-
pie of the earth then threatened by
the harsh hand of autocracy. No
greater sacrifice on the altar of
freedom ever was or ever could be
made by any nation. The day truly
was Liberty day in the highest
sense.
Our national congress has been

erty day will be our national holt
