THE NATIONS DUTY
Reprinted from Manufacturers Record
Baltimore, January 30 1919

When this country called some mil
lions of its young men, and, for that
matter, some almost Of middle life,
to give up business, to give up home
and to give up all prospects of the
future and offer their lives on the bat
tlefield to save the rest Of US from be
ing overrun by German barbarism, no
man was called to the colors stopped
to consider his future when the wa.
was over. Nevertheless, the country
placed itself under moral obligation
to these men and their families to see
that they should not sulfel. financially
by reason of their sacrifice.
We owe it now to the l1cn who were
called to this great work to sec that
they have every consideration which
the nation can offer in overcoming the
loss Of business or the loss of health.
And the families of those who died in
camp cl on the battlefield should not
be permitted to suffer by reason of
the loss of their support. The nation

cumulation OF wealth should prove d
curse to Us if we do not deal with the
utmost lbcrality with the men who
wee called into the army, and with
the families of those who died OF were
permanently invalided.
The Government is proposing to
train the manned to be sclf-support-
inc. 1t is taking the men who have
been blinded and educating them to do
certain manual labor. But among
these blinded and MANNED men were
many who had never done manual Ia
Dor. They were men cf education and
busine3; affairs To put them down
to the dull drudgery of making bask-
+c o. kindred work as a means of
support would be a serious reflection
mon the honor of the American peo-
ME. The Government should give
item every opportunity for education
and for training for some work which
would keep them from idleness, not so
much for the money which they would
make out of it, but for a certain degree
of independence which comes with en-
plovment. But no man not accustom-
od to that kind of work should be made
dependent upon it through the failure
Of the Government to abundantly care
for him.
Every manned soldier should be
made Independent for life through the
action of the Government, without re-
gard to how great may be the cost.
He should be given such educational
opportunity as he desires to fit him
for any employment or any work
which appeals to him. He should be
made independent of the grind of pow
ertv and enabled to live in comfort.
The families that were dependent
upon these permanently invalided OF
manned men or upon those who died
in camp or on the battlefield should
likewise be made Independent by ar
income for life which would at least
enable them to live in comfort. A
nension of 500 to $50 a month to 9
mother or a wife of soldie:' who dice
for his country and upon whom she
was dependent is picayunish and be-
meath the honor of the people of this
country.

Treasury Department was wise move

Government The maximum inslr-
ance of $4,000 on a soldiers life w I'll
give to the beneficiary in the way in
which the Government pays it about

helps, but it is a very small sum com
pared with the value Of that mani~

point to those dependent upon hinr
In a well-ordcred family, when ore
member becomes permanently inVa!lu
od the other members regard it :s
thei" privilege and duty to mako the
sick one comfortable through life.
The American people should regard
themselves as part Of one Hreat
family. and every invalid soldier
should be treated in the sane way.
The nation is very wisely planning
the building of highways md the
lrainage of land and seeking 10 'urn
thousands Of soldiers to farm life.
None of this wo"k should b" done or
even FOR a moment considered from
the standpoint of being done oy the
soldiers as soldiers. If any Of the
army men want to take u1 thr out
door life of road building and 'eclama
ton work. they should oe given tie
opportunity of doing so but to consider
the employment of them rs soldiers
in work of this kind "A suggestion
that has been made world be absurd
If any Of these men want to engage
n farming, whether on reclaimed land
1r on land already in cultivation, the
Government should carry out some
great scheme for helping to finance
them in the purchase Of land now un
der cultivation or of the land to be
reclaimed, on a basis where the cost
from year to year would be triflinp
small They should be provided with
comfortable farm homes, with the
necessary tools and livestock and Civ
en- instruction by experts as to how
to farm to the largest profit.
1t would be folly to put on farms
men who know nothing about agricul-
tural pursuits merely because they
want to get into country life, unless
the Government stands behind them
and through experts gives them CO.
operation necessary to insure success.
We take it, however, that very
large proportion of these men will
not desire to enter upon farm life.
They have seen broad world Oppor-
tunities; their minds have been quick
ened; they have stimulated into great
er mental activity; their horizon has
been broadened, and many of these
people will want to do bigger things
than they had ever expected to do be-
fore they caught this new vision of
life which came to them amid war
activities.
The nation should regard the hand
ling of this whole propotion as the
biggest and broadest that can claim
its attention at the present time.
With probably more than one-third
Of the worlds accumulated wealth
with our wealth increasing at rate
that we can scarcely comprehend, with
resources for continued development
beyond anything known elsewhere, we
can afford to assume burdens in the
maintenance of the MANNED soldiers
and of the families of those who died
and we can afford to cooperate with
the soldiers in getting them started
in life again on scale which no othe'
| nation in the world could consider

wears of the very best of their lives

CONCERNING ROADS.
Dear Readers:

To Just come over the road,
Once in while,
With AK and shovel
And take little time
To fill few holes,
Or cut little drain,
| Or better still,
Take off a little of the roads Back
Bonc,"
That either car or log wagon
might pass over
Without dragging the axle
And spinning the wheels
And breaking the rear axle;
Or breaking the coupling pole
Ard that horse would be in less
danger
Of filling the lonesome grave
Along the center Of the road
That has been prepared
By the mighty rains and lcavy loads
And smiled at by the "Big Boss"
| And the Little BCss;"
And again l have thought
How nice it would be
If some poor child
| Could have the "Mun"
That their dad" has paid
Trying to get some roads
That they could go to school
In more decent way
And only few
Would have their names
On the supervisors pension list.
An again | have thought
When out on the road
Begged down in hole,
That could have been fixed in an
hour
By the man in power,
How nice it void be
If we only he'd
One man in the country
That would run for office,
Sing to US his "Spicls"
Then carry them out
That we might know
When casting vote
That it was not cast in vain.
For so many little "Spiels"
Have we heard already
Until we don't know
Who to believe OF
What to believe,
Until we get on some 1ofgoltei'
|ro;Id
And then we can think
Without much thinking
What the candidate said
When he bothered us in the field:
"a will have the roads fixed
And fixed up right"
And then after all
He forgets his little song
And lets the road rock;
And so it goes on
And after while
He comes again,
For what purpose
At heart
NO man Cclu lcll,
So let us weigh the matter care1uily
And see if we've man
That will sand
"PAT"
For whatever he says.
So it is only few more,
OF these FOUR long years
When you and
VIII be too far
Over the ILL
To enjoy the coed roads
The future
WILL BUILD.
] thank you.

CAN YOU TELL.

Why is it
A fellow will take such terrible
Chances?
WHY is it he runs the
Risk
Of police courts, divorce courts,
! Newspaper scandals?
Why is it he sallies
Forth
And gets himself shot
Through the left lung
Just to kiss some other fellows
Wife
When all the time his own wife
Sits at home
Waiting to- be kissed? And
Kissing her wouldn't come half
SO high
Why is it?
