SETTLEMENT DAY IS HERE
Only Sensible Course For Cleaning Up
War Debt Is Now

A chap named Pete Clarity used to
travel a southern Illinois and Missouri
territory. Sometimes he got over into
Kentucky and Tennessee. About ev-
cry body knew Pete for he was a"reg-
ular fellow" Also he was a good
salesman as statesmen went in those
days. Good Indian? Wen all say he
was. All of us who knew and emem-
Der him.
However, as to financial matters and
personal responsibility, Pete was as
the brutes that perish. He was with
out form and void and darkness vas on
the face Of the deep"
One night he was having a little
poker game in his room al, one of the
old-time st. Louis hotels. He had been
out and busy all week and he figured
that a little relaxation was coming to
him. He made such headquarters as
he had in st. Louis.
The telephone bell rang. 1t was a
call for Pete, all right. He went to
the phone and listened a minute.
Tell him III be right down." he
said. And I'm out of the next DEAL"
he added.
He wasn't gone long. In about ten
minutes he was back and opening

Pete's note eventually came due. And
there came a day also when that debt
had to be paid. He could nav if after
action in court or he could nav il on
the nail when it really came due and
when it should have been paid. Ger.
tainly it had to be paid some time.
Now that We have a chance to nav
our debts to Uncle Sam there will be
no unpleasant aftermaths. We have
a chance TO hand him the money in

His wisdom is sharp
And his words are harp
To make men echo his will
His deft tongue plays
On the sounding phrase
With a masters easy skill
Yet shall the future record it thus:
Get never this truth grow dimD
1t is not the thing he shall say to us:
1t is what we shall say to him,
His smile is clean
And his wit is keen
And his brain in its working-prime
His thoughts are as tools
Of his trades and schools
And are edged on the wheel of time
But no matter how high his place and powers
We gave them into his hand
The Word may be his but the Act is ours,
So ours is the last command.
For what is a man
To compare to his Clan?
Let him stand where the humblest hears
To defend his trust
AS he shall and must
In a forum of his peers,
And we are the judges and we must know
What weight in our judgment lies,
For presidents ever shall come and go,
But People never dies
