The Broken Soldier

returned soldier doesn't care for sympathy
or admiration so much as he cares for job. II
he is injured he wants to learn a vocation in
which he may be able to earn enough to support
himself The placing of men in civilian life is a
bigger problem and one worthy of more consid-
Grafton than the erection of memorial arches
These will not buy him clothes and food. They
will not get him job. The soldier and sailor is
willing to let the memorial tokens wait until the
country has first given him an opportunity to
make a living.
The allied nations are taking this view of the
situation, too All of them have adapted their
governmental machinery to replace him in the in
dustries and other spheres as quickly as possible.
The Anglo-Italian Review takes whole-hearted
and proper view of the problem when it remarks
'The broken soldier is an important organic
factor in the national life A hundred thousand
homes have their mutilated heroes-sons, faith
ers, husbands, brothers. Therefore the public
is at last awakening to the iniquity of the idea
that a money recompense is an inadequate solu-
ton of the great problem. People are beginning
to see that when you give man pension and
tell him to be satisfied, and that you will in
it if he be not satisfied, you only try
ing to dodge the devil in the dark. You are not
dscharging your debt to the wounded soldier.
He has given his health for you and that is some
thing for which he cannot be reimbursed in terms
of money. The only royal road towards discharg-
ing your debt to the broken soldier is to try as
far as possible to give him back his integral man.
hood, to teach him and train him so that he will
become an Independent human being, able to work
and earn his living, standing side by side cheek
by jowl with the man who stayed at home, feel
ing that though he has fought and suffered he
can still work and live and not be simply an OBJ
iect of public charity When you have done that
for him, then you may give him his pension, not
as payment for the blood he has shed, nor as
a means of sustenance in life, but as something
given over and above, little abiding token of the
nations gratitude to the man who has fought and
suffered"

The Radical Movement

The memorandum submitted by Solicitor
General Lamar of the postoffice department to
the senate propaganda committee stating that
the l. w. w., anarchists, Socialists and others
were "perfecting an amagamaton with one OBJ
ject, the overthrow of the United States by
means of bloody revolution and the establish
znent of Bolshevik Republic, is the first tan
gible evidence that the radical element in the
United States is trying to disrupt our republic
The outspoken statements of the leaders in
this movement are indicative of the holiness with
which they are engaging upon the project. They
indicate that the radical elements are trying to
get together into one organization or at least to
unite in a sympathetic movement
The disclosures are of greater interest than
of menacng nature, for so long as 81 per cent
of the people of the United States believe in
system and order, these imps of destruction and
apostles of chaos will not get very far in their
efforts to make the United States a second
Russia.
Law and order still have the upper hand in
the United States and the decent citizens will as
sist the government in bringing these men to
trial and in sending them to the penitentiaries
or into exile.

The Spring Of 1919

The civilized world will greet with pleasure
and satisfaction the advent of spring. For the
first time in four years it will not be the harbin-
ger of the resumption of bloodshed and murder
on wholesale scale.
It was one of the sardonic ironies of our civil
ization that spring brought resumption of
human slaughter upon a scale so gigantic that
mankind could hardly grasp it. In the home of
the peasant and the palace of the rich, the re-
turn of spring had come to be regarded with
dread and an awful suspense.
That feeling Of fear is over. Once more the
peoples of Europe and America can look on
nature arising from its sleep on meadows ready
to burst into green, on woods ready to respond
to the breath of south winds, on hills soon to be
carpeted with wild flowers and on fields soon to
bear crops.
Spring is on it's way. This year it comes with
new meaning, for human society ceansed in
the fiery furnace of four years of warfare, is
ready to accept principles that will make for
peace and happiness.
1t is the universal hope of mankind that as
spring natures into summer, the great principles
of peace, now in it's formative stages, will find
glorious contamination.
Spring is always the season of regeneration
and of hope. The Spring of 1919 is doubly so.

strongly In favor of and shall insist
upon open and above-board com
petition In the letting of all local
Improvement contracts, believing by
so doing there can be secured for
the city the best material and
workmanship for the money invest
ed. To my mind it Is very evident
that where one concernSreceives 10
cal improvement contract without
competition that the city is not OBJ
tanning full value received, and in
this connection I want to further
say that shall insist upon the most
up-to-date specifications and when
adopted, the rigid compliance there
with. If elected mayor of this city,
I shall put forth every possible ef-
fort in conjunction with the COM
missioners to conduct the city's af-
fairs upon a strictly business basis
and If that is done, it is my jucg-
ment that the legitimate legal reve-
nue. of the city will meet it's cur
rent running expenses.
Spirit of Commission.
Much has been said by my OPP
ponent on the spirit of the COM
mission form of government, insist
ing that each department shall be
held strictly responsible for the
work of that department. 1t is my
judgment that the spirit Of the COM
mission form of government is that
the four commissioners and the
mayor shall work together in order
that the city may have a we'll bal
anced government and so that one
department will not be sacrificed
for another department, and it shall
be my purpose to keep in close
touch and to give assistance to each
of the departments in order that
better service may be obtained for
the city as a whole. In other words,
l do not believe that the best re-
suits can be obtained by the indie
pendent operation of the various
departments and the commission
form does not so contemplate. The
strength Of the commission form OF
government lies in cooperation and
the working together of the COM
mission in the interest of the whole
people of the city.
ct want to take this opportun-
ity of stating to the people Of Rock
Island that I am a property owner
and that 1 did not purchase my
plumbing or any other material for

uganda instigated and circulated by
the followers of my opponent, and
