BRING HOME OUR DEAD

Whether or not undertakers. organized or other
wise, are manifesting a professional interest in the
movement 10 bring the American soldier dead from
Europe should not influence in the slightest those whose
6uty il IS to decide on final disposition OF the bodies.
The question Of whether or not some persons will
reap 4 necuniary profit from the return to America Of
our heroic dead can properly have no bearing on the
main issue. Ii il shall appear that MIXTURES in human
fofm are preparing to take advantage Of parents who
are camoring for their rights. action in protection Of
the latter should be taken. But none Of these sorrow
ing ones should not be deprived an instant longer than
may be necessary.
The only sentiment in this case which is worthy
e respect is that which pleads for the simple solace
sorrowing ones would have We're they privileged to lay
their dead in graves of their own choosing and there
tenderly care Tor them. Not all the parents Of Ameri-
cans who gave their lives in the world war wish the
dead brought home. a great many Americans agree
with Roosevelt that our men should lie where they fe.l
in the defense of the right.
These cannot Justly claim a voice in the decision
as 10 the resting place of those whose relatives wish
them brought home. The government should exert
Itself to the utmost to crafty the desires of those who
plead. Bring home our dead" It will not have dis
charged its obligation 10 mothers and fathers who gave
their sons in the time of the country's need until the

SENSIBLE SPENDING AND SAVING.

This is National Thrift Week, whose universal
observance would start the country on the road to much
more happiness than it has experienced for some time.
The prevailing foolish extravaganza of which both the
government and the average individual are guilty, IS
more responsible for the high cost of living and the
resultant unrest than all the prohteers ever spawned.
though it is more natural and pleasanter to blame every
thing on the %prohteers. Abusing someone else for the
woes that heset us always is more fun than admitting
that we ourselves are more or less at fault. The gov
eminent keeps up a great hue and cry about what it's
going to do 10 bring the prohteers to justice and plays
into their hands by pouring out money for unnecessary
things. The individual denounccs both government and
prohteers and continues to waste his substance in ex-
travagant living. We have lived too long to expect
much in the way of economy from public authoritg.
but che private individual is still amenable to reason
and Thrift Week is a good time for him TO adopt Sensi-
BILE Spending and Sensible Saving as his permanent
slogan.
