A BIT OF SENTIMENT

N bAt VI o6A* AAnL-~A
A returning Canadian officer, In
valided out OF the service because Of
severe wounds. presented to COM
pany of loyal American citizens at
Seattle recently a situation that Is
undoubtedly worthy of serious
thought. II was a situation based
on sentiment, but that does not rem
der it any the less worthy Of consid-
Grafton, because in many ways 1t is
a war OF sentiment that we are en-
. gagged in.
This officer, whose honorable SER
vice lends to his words the greatest
weight says that here in America We
are misusing the phrase, "over the
top" in a way that cannot fail to
jar most unplsasantly on any man
who has ever gone over the top Of
the trench in a drive against the
Hun. Going over the top. he says.
is an experience that is hallowed by
SO much unselfish sacrifice and so
much heroism that 1t is unjust to the
brave men who go out OF the
trenches and into battle to employ
the phrase in any connection less he,
roic than that out OF which it first
sprang, says the Eugene Register
Is there any practical-minded soul
who is ready to say that he is not
right? The man who goes over the
top of his own trench line in an at
tack lays upon the altars OF patriot
ism and duty everything in the
world he has to give. He takes his
life cheerfully in his hands and says
to his country: Here it is; take it
II it is needed" Behind him is every
thing a man holds dear-life and
happiness; home, wife and children;
mother and friends; the career he
might have achieved In front OF
him are possible death and that
which is worse than death. Yet al
the word of command he goes for
ward 1t is an act Of heToism that
can never be adequately commemor-
ated.
Yet we say lightly and thought
lessly that war stamp drives have
gone "over the top" When Lane
county, OF Umatilla county, or Ben
ton county passes its quota OF some
fund that is being raised, we say Of
1t that 1t has gone over the top"
We mean no disrespect, OF course (;
but 1t is hardly good taste to speak
Of a common, ordinary. everyday
little triumph in a phrase that was
coined ont of heroism and sacrifice
and loyalty so great and so pure as

their lives saved. Mr.. Kell is dis
