The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1920-02-25

The New York Sunday Times tells
a pathetic story of a mother who
landed at New York with the body
of her sailor son who lost his in the
war and had been buried in one of
the coast towns of France. She had
expended $4,000 in meney and under
gone much anxiety and annoyance to
bring home something that was not
tain or cherish-the life she had loved
persisted in France and in France all
tender memories of youth, beauty, man
hood and patriotism must forever re-
main. The tremendous expense can
never bring back the boys that were
lost, and this should be remembered
by all who propose the government s
undertaking to return the bodies of
the soldiers from France
The whole question of bringing back
those thousands of manned, broken and
decayed bodies is largely matter of
eommercialism. 1t would put millions
of profits in the hands of American
undertakers, 1t would be simply an
other government job that would
surpass the disreputable airplane spruce
frauds of the Northwest. No govern
ment officials could justify such a rob
berry of the American people.
Many of the parents and nearest of
kin do not desire the return of the
bodies. Theodore Roosevelt and his
wife were among the first to oppose
the removal of the dead from the fields
of victory and honor where they lie
Thousands of less prominent parents
of the nations dead feel the same SEN
timent.
The Second division is reported as
having suffered the heaviest casualties
of any division serving in France; and
the Second Division Post of the Amer
lean Legion in New York unanimously
passed resolutions last week stating
that the belief of men who had been
in action was that their dead com
rades would prefer to remain in the
soil ''to take which they gave their
| lives. The men who passed this res
olution agreed, too, that had they fall
len their one wish would have been
to remain near where they died Those
are words of men who knew what the
war was at first hand; who knew death
intimately; who knew the feelings OF
comrades and friends. Such words
might well have weight against com
mercialism call in the name of sen
timent We trust the decision of Amer
lea will be to let the bodies of tht
dead rest.

Barre Times.)

The discovery of the frozen body of
a Weybridge man in the road leading
from Middlebury and the finding of the
body of another man near his home
in the Gallup's Mills location in
northern Vermont, probably the victim
of an attack from COW and from ex-
posure to the cold, were two grim re-
minders of the storms harshness.
Taken in conjunction with the tragedy
of the Sherburne woman who froze to
death in her own dooryard, they make
certain commentary on the severity
of this winter, which, happily, is pass
ing into the milder stages as the cal
endar comes around toward March

That some form of universal mill
tary training for the young men of
our country is thought to be good
thing is the decision of our congress
man, Frank L. Greene, who voted for
it as member of the house commit
tee on military affairs. In so voting,
Mr.. Greene probably follows also what
he considers to be the opinion of the
larger number of his constituents. The

of some system whereby the youth of
the country may be prepared in q
measure for still further training

Approving the Action.
(Rutland Herald.)

The action of the Brattleboro post
of the American Legion in protesting
against the $50 bonus proposed by
congress for the veterans of the great
war, is in line with the best traditions
of that organization 1t is not that
congress and the country do not owe
that mueh-and more-to the men who
went from their homes and states to
rescue civilization, but it is the feel
ing of the best and most seeing
men in the Legion that such legisla-
ton merely tends to cheaper and com
mercialize their great service.

"Retail meat dealers throughout the
country must reduce their prices as the
wholesale price of meat declines or
else submit their books to federal
agents for investigation of their pro-
fits" says Attorney General Palmer.
He claims to have waited in patience
three months in order to allow dealers
to dispose of stocks which were bought
at higher prices, but as one newspa-
per observes retail prices have been
dropping with the dull thud of the
thistle down" However, the laws of
gravitation are still existent and what
goes up must come down-sometime

ting is good,'' is a hard one to get
turned to the wall In the meantime
the consumer waits and pays the bills.
