in MEMORY OF MY
DEPARTED FRIEND

While we sit in the family circle
At the beginning of Sabbath day,
Rehearsing the many Sundays
Spent in the self-same way,
In giving as well as receiving,
And doing the whole day through
Some act to make others happy,
Thus making ourselves happy, too.
We were reused from the pleasant
revery
By a friend that was passing by,
Stopped to tell US friend was
wounded,
And they feared before morning
would die.
Had been hit by a train that was
passing
Near his home on its southbound
run;
His foot caught under the railing,
And the terrible deed was done.
His life was pure, true and noble,
And we feel it was mot lived in
vain.
And we know that beyond this life's
trouble
We shall meet our darling again.
Though called in the bloom of young
manhood
To enter the heaven above,
We leave all to God in His goodness,
And He heals all our wounds with
His love.
Early on Sabbath morning
The news to his kindred sped:
"Come to our home Of mourning,
For our dear beloved is dead"
Yes, Elmer had crossed the river,
Though twas beautiful, bright
over there,
And this message from the departed
Seems a solace for the loved ones
despair.
his purpose IOr taxing our loved ones
We never may learn, though we
try;
But It's splendid to feel in our trials
That God in His mercy is nigh.
Then wen bring to Him all our sor-
rows;
Our troubles we'll lay at His feet.
And our burdens He gladly takes
from US,
Thus making our blessings COM
plete.
To his dear mother and father,
with the truest sympathy.
His true friend,
HENRY POSEY.

MOTHERS DAT" LETTER
Sc. NazaIre, Franee, w Il.

St. Nazaire, France, May II.
My Dear Mother Today is Moth
er's Day for the boys Of the A. E.
F.-not that we do not think Of our
mothers, but that we make it vol
ume of letters, especially on this day.
Since coming INTO the army the
one thing that has come back time
after time, stamping itself forever in
my mind, is that our mothers are
our best friends. People who profess
to be our friends soon turn when we
| get into trouble or lose our money.
They who were once our friends turn
look of scorn and eye of hateful
ness when the kick comes-they help
give us a boost down-hill, once we
have started. Do our mothers do
that? They are our friends forever,
through Joy, sorrow and misfortune.
When all seems down and out, they
give us smile and kiss that helps
us make the uphill climb against
our prosecutors. Trouble does not
find our mothers turning away; they
never turn back, for they believe in
us after all has gone, and with the
future looking dark and uninviting.
Our mothers are our friends forever.
The wise man who once said "a
friend in need is a friend indeed"
must have meant it for mothers, for
they foot the bill in the crisis for
and with US.
No doubt we could never realize
the hours Of worry, thought and pray
err our mothers have given for us;
but we know that we, too, havek
thought of our little grey-haired
mothers over the seas. We have
wished thousands Of times to be back
safe in our mothers arms and under
her tender care. We have missed
her-her tender touch when sick. We
have wished for her many a night to
come and tuck the cover around us
as we were falling asleep. We have
missed her petting, her girlish scolds, |
her smiles when we We're going out
to see our best girls and when blue,
her pat on the back with its encour-
aging advice. We have prayed for
uuI ulONiCIDg wv dilOIS0b IllC lCll /
over here. Our wish has been that
they be spared until we return.
Whose letters do we read first when
the mail comes? Who do we think
Of when we eat? The questions have
but one answer: Mother"
One day and our real Mothers
Day is coming, when we get back.
And we are all coming back to our
we hope-better men with
A greater determination than ever
before. We are going to lead good
ives, be useful citizens if for only
me reason--for our mothers. The
lay of our return is near, and we are
'eady to go to her waiting arms ana
% stay forever cited to her apron
string" The day when l must part
brewer with "My Mother" is the
lay l lose my pal, my friend and my
iweetheart.
Yes, love my mother, and I am
especially Of you today, on
Day. !
Love forever.

DEMOCRACY A FAILURE If
LIQUOR LAWS NOT ENFORCED

The Hon. John z. Mccall, Judge 81
the United States court for the West
ern district of Tennessee, declared
from the bench late Thursday after
noon that he would henceforth exer-
else no clemency in liquor cases,
even though there be extenuating
circumstances, says the Memphis
Scimitar Of May 30.
"Rule by the people is a failure,
declared the Judge. eff the laws are
flagrantly violated as is rumored
about and published in the newspa-
pers, and if in every case brought
before me / should be asked to ex-
ercise clemency, and would do so as
have in some cases, democracy
would be farce"
The remarks of>the Judge were oc-
casioned when a plea of guilty was
entered by w. L. Moseley, accused Of
running an illicit still near Noncon-
nah and Of retailing liquor without
a federal license. L. H. Graves, Nose
LEWIS attorney, recited that the de-
PENDANT had resided in Memphis for
40 years, reared family and hau
only Just begun to manufacture
whisky when apoteheadod and was
under the influence Of liquor at the
tine the offense was committed.
The Judge, in sentencing Moseley,
to year and day in Atlanta, stat
ed that even though the circumstances
be Of a pitiful nature, to turn such
a man loose would be to encourage
crimes, would tend to put in the
minds of men the idea that when the
pressure of necessity became strong
they could turn to liquor making and
reap an easy living.
