forever scared in the heart of humanity
We have started new history, created
/ new Temple in which a rejuvenated
brotherhood of men can worship and send
hymns Of love, charity and friendship te
| the new Goddess /of liberty.
The first chapter of this history is writ
ten in golden letters bv the tears of the
mother, the pain and agony Of the wife
the anguish and despair of womSnho,d
! the vail and tortures of orphans.
The second chapter will be chapter Of
reconstruction, chapter of realities to be
confronted BY moral courage, which mus,
acknowledge no defeat no surrender. The
battle to cUme is the economic battle o1
our future life. An era of co-opeYatiar
will replace the one expiring era Of com-
petition. Profit sharing follows prof,
Peae6between capital and labor looms
up anf6ns the haze. and mist Of the i'm
mediate future.
The soldier of to-days kttle-field will
be the soldier Of to-mcrrow's arbitra-

in the dust as the Hun fetich was
crushed The load may seem hard and
heavy and bend the back of many a stout
and resolute body and soul, but the cross,
the emblem Of spiritual loyalty and
courage will bring its reward"
Mr.. Edwin S. Broussard:
"We inherit our traits from our ances-
Soy,
Respect for this heritage reflects the
deeds of valor, of heroism in this war as
well as those credited to our forebears
Our form Of government and what it
stands for has need to do with that un-
affected character Of the American SOL
dieTs courake and spirit of self sacrifice.
He regards these attributes not as dis
tinctive marks Of racial superiority, but
as matter Of duty and conscience. He holds
the ideals of his country as sacred as his
religious duties and will fight with as
much frenzy and fanaticism for one as for
the other. As to the complaints aud
other bitter criticism by returned soldiers
over matters Of delay in rehabilitation
and neglect of his interests, he ought tcl
feel that he should see the work through.
However onerous, the monotony Of the
routine may be, he must remain true to
his recognized standard of loyalty and
fidelity to his government. He may have
been deceived as to social Developments
cast into legal and constitutional forms,
and also as to his having been ignored
on questions Of vital importance to his
new vision and broadened conceptions, he
cannot do otherwise now, 0as all others
voters, but make his influence felt on the
future work and actions Of his county"
