That Sword Of Gold
(Sarcoxie (Mo) Record)

The Kansas City Post has asked the
Record to assist in e campaign now In
progress to raise fund sufficient to
purchase sword of gold for General
Pershing, native Missourisn, and .
world hero.
We are sorry, bat we cannot enter
into this movement with much eathus-
iasm. We admire Pershing as much
~ any body and do not wish to deprrive
him of any worthy honor. We feel
that there is no likelihood of
General Pershing failing to receive
proper Recognition.
We would enter with more enthusi-
ssm into movement to properly rec.
ognize the common soldier, without
whom Geueral Pershing would have
been helpless. And we do no5 advo-i
cate raising funds to provide the COM
mon soldiers with swords OF gold.
We do not even advocate pensions for
them. Somehow we do not like pen.
sions. They often rob q man of his
ambition and initiative. In cases of
pensions are perhaps the
only things that can be given, but in
the vast majority of cases pensions,
in our view, do more harm than good.
What we would like to see is
movement to recognize the common
soldier by giving him IN even chance
in the world; to provide him with the
opportunity, if not with the means, of
making himself everything that good
citizen should be, upright, independ
ent. self reliant, with home of his
own and employment that he likes.
We would like to see every common
soldier sitting content under his own
vine and fig tree, enjoying as much
happiness as is possible for human
to have.
The world usually makes an idol of
some one hero who energies from
war. Then it forgets. The men of
the famous Light Brigade, who fought
at i,alaclava-the men who survived,
we mean-were forgotten and some of
them went t., the poor house before an
lngrateful country was brought by the
Poet Tenny son TO recognition cf its
duties. 8 ssi'''V r ? :
This should not be the case with the
men who fought in Flanders and on
the other battle fronts. 1t is possible
to look after them and see that If they
are not happy and comfortable the
fault will be their own.
It may be dream, but We would
like to see movement to properly
recognize soldiers of industry as we'll
as soldiers of war. They should be
given full chance. There are MAIN
ed every day men and women engaged
in the pursuits of peaceful industry
miners in the mines, farmers in the
fields, mechanics at the bench, con-
struction workers, railroad men, etc
To these men swords of gold would
be merely toys. What they need is
proper protection, proper care. Like
the soldiers, they have opportunities
to insure themselves against accident,
disease and death. Butcircumstances
often prevent them from realizing
They should have a
chance, an opportunity.
And with all respect, we believe that
the Kansas City Post would oe better
in furthering these ends
than in q movement 70 give q sword of
gold tn General Pc. shing, the remain
der of whose life will be free from any
apprehension regarding food, clothing
and the other things essential to life
aud cOntentment.

VELVET JOE'S ALMANAC
FOR 1919 NOW READY

Velvet Joe publishes this interest
ing book every year. Last year ap-
proximateIy thirty-nine thousand
people wrote for it. The number OF
people who actually read 1t was prob
ably in excess of two million. quite a
following even for the wc:!-kno"n
and weIl-loyed Velvet Joe.
The year 1918 was year OF greaI
things. All that happened could not
lie condensed into one book. How
ever, the new Velvet Joe Alma nae
tells about the happenings OF the
greatest Importance. As reference
it will be mighty valuable.
As Velvet Joe himself says: "FolNs
who like to argify ought TO have the
facts-whether it's about the weather
or who has the biggest army. My
1919 Almanac is chuck full OF such
things"
Did YOU know that in 1900, moro
than three centuries ago, some one
told the world of the coming OF the
world war, with many details that
proved to be true? The entire proph-
ccy is published in the Almanac.
Do you know the terms of the ar
mistice of November IL, 1918?
What has happened to the Mystery
Ship'-the CyclOps?
What did the Americans do to win
the war?
What is the meaning of Bolsheviki,
and what do they want?
All babies have blue eyes. Did you
know that?
How do our losses in the war com
pare with the official casualties OF
! the other combatant nations?
The specially drawn war map
showing the part of Germany now oc-
cupied by allied troops and the neu-
trail zone to the east Of this territory,
with the three important bridge
heads, etc, is an interesting feature,
also the analysis Of the armisttce
/ terms and the authentic statement or
! President Wilson's fourteen points
and supplementary points will be OF
special interest for reference during
| the period of the peace conference
now in session, and probably all
through this year.
! Velvet Joe's Almanac tells all about
/ these things and lots Of others that
are just as interesting. And it is
! full of Velvet Joe's philosophy, his
| sayings and his verse, with plenty
| of illustrations II you've found a
| friendIiness in Velvet Joe's words Of
| cheer, you'll enjoy reading the Alma
nae It's a handy book, with plenty
| Of useful information in 1t; but, most
| of all, it's Velvet Joe's book. So, IL
you're a friend of his and want TO
( have a real talk with him, write to
him, Velvet Joe, at 4241 Folsom ave-
| nue., st. Louis, Mo, and ask him to
| send you his new 1919 Almanac He'll

lowed enlisted men TO retain their
uniforms and OvercOats. gives them
a months pay as a bonus and 5 cents
a mile as a transportation charge.
4 dozen or more bills have been in
troduced covering the pay Donus.
They range from one month to six.
Among the hundred or more pend-

FARMERS BATTLE
FOR US. CONTROL

The conservationist fight against
adoption Of the conference report on
the coal, oil and phosphate leasing bill
opened today with a blast from the
farmers
IN a letter sent to every member of
Congress George p. Hampton, manag
ing director OF the Farmers National
Council, called attention to resolutions
passed at q farmers conference in
Washington urging public control and
development Of all natural resources.
ITO allow in this. reconstruction
period, these remaining resources now
in public ownership, to pass into the
monopolistic control of a few great
corporations is indefensible," Hamp-
ton wrote.
at is the belief Of the Farmers Ma
tional Council that the conference
measure is unduly favorable to large
corporate interests and fails to protect
the consuming public"

Comptroller Of the Treasury John

unfit for the office" Senator Weeks Of

Sir: In The Times Of the 1lth,
in report ng the hearing that day
bCEOlc the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee on the con-
lirmatiOn of the Presidents nom
inatiOn for Comptroller Of the
Currency, at which there was
only one witness who testified
against the eOnfrmatiOn-a bank
Official by the name Of Cooper
The Times said:
1T was after Cooper had said,
Williams had begged him not to
testify that the decision to
clamp on the lid was taken" '
As that statement is wholly in
correct and does me an injustice,
respectfully ask that you make
proper correction. Mr.. Cooper
stated at the hearing that his
own attorneys had advised him
not to oppose the confirmation.
The facts are that when his at
tOTneys called on me, without
my solicitation, / informed them
that in view of the record of the
witness ] would prefer to have
his opposition rather than his
support.
In justice to this Office, ! there
fore respectfully ask that you
make this correction.
Respectfully,
JOHN SHELTON WILLIAMS,
