GOOD NEWS

The news printed in yesterdays paper announcing that the
American soldiers with the expediionary force in France would
The plan is to bring back 100000 monthly. Up to the pres
ent 10000 men have arrived from overseas. There are at pres
ent 785,0O0 men in camp in the United States, and these are ex-
pected to be mustered out within a month.
There will be genuine rejoicing over this definite intorna-
ton. Thousands Of homes will be glad because OF the pros
pect of the early return of their loved ones.
But with the return of these men there Is an obligation
upon business, upon industry, upon NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. everyone
to see that they do not suffer the suspense and the anxiety
and the hardship of unemployment.
The Tennessee legislature has taken an advanced step at
the request OF Gov. Roberts, in recommending that every per
son who left state, county and municipal employment to enter
the service be given back the job he left.
The example set by officials Is worthy of emulation by
men engaged in private enterprise. The offceholders, the last
to relinquish anything, are inviting the men to resume their
former places. They are not more patriotic than the men VINO
operate the private concerns. The men are to receive not only
a welcome. but they are to have that which is better-an oppor-
tunty to earn a living.
An official in an adjoining county, who succeeded a young
man who went to war, called upon him after the resolution
passed the legislature and apologized for having failed to see
his obligation before, He said to him:
you quit your job to enter the service Of your country.
Your honorable discharge indicates that you have finished the
required task. want you to do me the favor to take back
the Job hold. have a son in the army. | don't know when
he will return. He may be back any time. He had a good
lob and | want to confess that am asking you to take back
this lob because am selfish, for when my boy comes home |
want him to have his old job back, and il l give back yours
his employer cannot refuse to feinstate him. am primarily
interested in my own son, and by doing this am rendering
him a service"
Under the prevailing cost OF food, clothing, rent and other
things, no man can afford to be idle very long unless TIC mas
a large bank account.
With the rapid return of the men it is incumbent upon
everyone to see that there is no unnecessary delay between
the time a man Is discharged and the time he goes to work,
1t is the duty Of industry to absorb these men as rapidly
as possible. and it Is their duty to see that no grass grows I'M
der their feet.
