A Soldiers Poem

II you don't love Old Glory
don't love you
Wouldn't you hate to be a Stacker
And with the Stacker stand,
With the brand upon your fore
head
And exemption in your hand.
Wouldn't you hate to face your
mother
And your sister and your dad,
And tell them where you have
been
And show them what you had.
Wouldn't you hate to see the look
On your pretty s%weetheart's face
When she found her noble hero
Was a Stacker in the race.
Wouldn't you hate to see her
Take your ring from off her finger
And hand it back to you and say
That's all, you needn't linger.
Wouldn't you hate to see that
sweater coat
So proudly made for you
Adjoining handsome BillieB Brown
Or gallant Private Drew.
Wouldn't you hate to hear sSour
neighbors
Your old schoolmates and your
chums
Say, Ha, Ha, there he goes
Instead of Hurrah here he comes
Then wake up lad and be a man;
Don't put it off too long,
Tear up those papers in your
hand,
And start off with this song,
I'll never be a Stacker
And with the slackers stand,
With the shame upon my fore.
head
And exemption in my hand.
l would rather be a soldier
Go fight for home and country
And finish freedoms foe.
l would rather show my dear old
dad
He is the father a man.
From the ranks of Uncle Sam

But I'll do the best I can.

Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1918-08-25

Booming to US across 1870 years. come
some words spoken by John Marshall
in the Virginia Convention sitting in
Richmond in 1888. Tho question pend
ing was whether Virginia should ratify
the Constitution prepared and proposed
for these United States. Colonel Mar
shall-this was before he was q judge
said:
But IL we defer giving the neces-
sary power to the general government
until the moment Of danger arrives.
we shall give 1t. and with unspurins
hand"
The sentence was prophecy. We are
seeing and feeling no wits precise and
ample fulfillment.
Colonel Marshall then was lawyer
with the most extensive and protitab BILE
practice Of his time. veteran OF the
Revolution with good war record,
and blessed with innumerable friends.
he had no designs on the presidency
or other political ambitions. He was
popular because of his character,
ability and attractive personal quail
ties. but sought no jobs When he held
and with no purpose but to be useful.
therefore. he was not afraid to be
exactly honest and sensible. The
democratic party was being born. and
It's first strength was acquired by de-
mands for weakness of the Federal

Democrats. in name or on real belief.
have inherited and maintained many of
those demands until now. 1t is u
strange ordering OF fate that the most
perfect Justification of John Marshall
the Federalist, has come under u Demo-
cratic national administration. Demo-
Gratis In Congress and the country have
given with an unsparing hand" to a
Democratic President powers the suE-
gestion Of which would have stirred
THOMAS Jefferson to furious protest
Colonel Marshall was replying to q
tremendous plea by Patrick Henry
against intrusting tho general govern
mcnt with the special powers for the
conduct Of war contained in the Con-
stitution. After long. strong and able
debate. the Marshall view prevailed.
and the Democrats OF the day were de-
feated. The Virginia Convention rati-
fed the Constitution by a majority Of
ten.
In the same speech already referred
to Colonel Marshall put into words
another thought which Democrats OF
more recent times consistently have
tried to ignore:
Power to do some harm is insepa-
rablc from the power to do good" With
