HOME LETTERS TO
SOLDIER BOYS

SOME wonderfully and soul-stir-
ring letters are coming from the
soldiers on the firing line. How
about the home letters to the boys at
the front who are fighting for their
country and the freedom of the
world? Referring to these home
letters the Saturday Evening Post
says:
MANY people at home are doing
their soldier SOM and brothers the
greatest injustice by writing them
respondent letters, picturing the I'M
happiness of the family at the en-
forced separation-and especially by
begging the soldiers to come back for
a visit or try 10 get a discharge.
Hundreds Of cases Of that kind have
come TO my attention. an army chap
lain tells us. "A man told me the
other day that he could be a good SOL
der if only his mother would stop
writing blue letters to him and i'm
| ploring him to come back home. Ev-
cry now and then some man is driven
half frantic and made almost useless
for army work by a letter that de-
scribes conditions at home in the
darkest possible colors and entreats
him to return We hear Of one case
whore a soldier, driven desperate by
such a letter from home, actually de-
serted. He is now under arrest and
liable to a long prison sentence. If
the battle-line were not three thous-
and miles away he would very likely
be shot.
Unless the attempt to make an
American Army is to turn into a
mere farce, furloughs and passes must
be granted very sparingly; only, in
fact, IN extraordinary cases. De-
~spondent letters from home simply
make the soldier miserable.
War is an affliction that always
falls hardest on women. There never
was a war in which mothers, wives.
sisters and sweethearts did not do the
greater part of the suffering. That
is their lot-the price they pay for
their affections.
when you write to a beloved sol.
der you are taking his happiness into
your hands. You can make him mis-
cradle or cheerful. Why sentence him
TO useless suffering?"

HARDIN HEROINE
MISSES THREE MEALS
ON PATRIOTIC MISSION
Girl Subjected to Many H~ardships in
EzdeNyor to Do Her Bit

These are indeed trying times, as
rore than n Of Is have discovered.
The last person 10 find out what ex-
tremely trying times they really are
was = certain Hardin girl who, in a
mad en5eavor to see her lover who
was leaving for France, was carried
clear TO Springfield, IL, with a lot Of
var brides and seasoned matrons and
deprived Of three or four meals in the
proeess. She saw her ~fiancee, how
ever. and while she is back at school
again in the midst Of the ordinary
algebrA and physical culture, varied
ouly by thoughts Of the letters which
are soon 10 come from foreign ports,
is probably happy.
The girl received a telegram the
other day asking her 70 come TO Kan
/ sas City as her lover would be there
at a certain time on his way East.
He got there all right just at that
time, but he discovered what he had
not known before. that he was going
70 be compelled 10 leave at the same
time that the girls train was due.
He sent a red-cap to page her in
Union Station, and at the same time
started out madly to hunt for her him
self. The red cap found her and took
her to the train, where, by mistake,
she was hustled aboard along with
some Officers wives. The mar also
was pulled on board at the last min
ute. The girl did not know where she
was going OF much Of anything else
but she was finally put off the train
at Springfield. after what every
body hopes was a joyous reunion, and
came back to school, where naturally
she is regarded as a sort of heroine
especially when everybody remembers
the meals that she missed.

| derstand and could not appreciate by
the little political rules they had been
accustomed to use in previous affairs.
Some Of them have not yet caught the
step with their constituents, and may
be new will. New blood is needed.
Senator Whitley is young. That is
a point in his favor. He has no past to
live down. He is honest, square, pa
triotic to the core and convinced of
the sacredness of the cause for which
we are fighting and of the necessity
for ending the war by piling one blow
upon another until the Hun begs for
mercy. He will support the admin
istration, not alone because he is a
Democrat, but to win the war.
We do not know whether Whitley
will make an ideal Senator or not.
We hope he will develop those quail
tiles of leadership that are necessary
in the present crisis and in the posi-
ton he will occupy. We believe he
more nearly measures up to the re-
quirements Of the position, as set
down in an editorial which appeared
in the Republic last week and which
has been widely copied throughout
the State, than any other mar under
consideration at the time the ap-
pointment was made. 1t is up to him
to justify or shatter our hopes.
If he goes to Washington with the
intention to represent all the people
of Missouri regardless of politics; to
uphold the Presidents hand; TO give
his time, so far as possible, to the
study of the new questions and condi-
tions that will arise as a result Of the
war, and to get in touch with the
new currents of thought that will de-
termine the solution Of these ques-
tons; II he will be progressive, rath-
er than rc~actionary, and more hopeful
OF what the folks at home want than
Of what the politicians say must be
done, he will have few apologies to
make.

(st. Louis Rcpublic)

In appointing Xenophon z. Whitley
Of st. Louis, to the position Of United
States Senator made vacant by the
death of William Joel Stone, the Re-
public believes Gov. Gardner has
made the best choice possible under
the circumstances. The place had
previously been rendered, directly or
in a tentative way, to Ambassador
David R. Francis, Speaker Champ
Clark and Chief Justice Graves, Of the
Missouri Supreme Court. All found
it impossible to accept.
Mr.. Wilfley's appointment is ac-
ceptable to the people Of the State be-
cause he is a clean, able, vigorous
young man, unhampered by the
friendships and enmities of office
holding or the traditions Of practical
politics. A Missouri boy, born on a
farm in Audrain County, he was edu-
Gated at one of the historic seats of
learning in Central Missouri, taught
school for several years in the inte-
rior of the State and came to st. Louis
after reaching his early manhood,
where he has won an enviable place
at the bar by force Of character and a
