REAL GALL.

Conscientious objectors" backed as
we understand it by the Worlds War
Veterans are making persistent
campaign for what they term their
share Of the bonus money recently
voted to the returned soldiers by the
legislature. Their action in this re-
gard very plainly illustrates the diff
ference between nerve and the slang
term gall. Of course every soldier
who enlisted or was drafted did not
show any particular amount of nerve.
There were men with yellow streak
in all organization Especially so was
this in the case of those who used
every means to avoid the draft when
their personal circumstances did not
warrant such excuse. But the major
ity of our men who left home Of their
own accord to enlist showed nerve.
These objectors show good example
of gall In the first place they show il
by placing the claims of conscientious
objection. No man, we believe. but
that revolts at the killing of another.
But in this case it looked like a good
excuse under which to cloak their "yel-
low" color. They took advantage of
it. And now they come in with claim
to benefits that thankful citiZenry
wish to confer upon those who did give
up their time and efforts. They want
to participate in the fruits of victory
and be rewarded for doing everything
they could to hinder the cause of vic
tory. That is gall.-St. Peter Tribune.
