OUR BOYS. LET US SAVE THEM.

The most remarkaDle generation OF
bows that this world has ever known
is the one that is coming forward IN
these DAYS of social, economics and
World War and the social and econ
omic struggle that is now on, has had
and is now upon the thought-life and
susceptible brain of the youths of today.
Never has there been made such an
audible and such silent appeal to the
depths Of the souls of men, in the very
ueriod when their souls are most pow
erfully moved as has been the case,
and | am afraid is going to be the case
with this generation of~boys.
This is time inthe second place, be-
cause of the great issues that await
these bows, the issues with which they
must inevitably deal, as they blossom
out into young manhood 1t requires
great issues to call ont and develop
GREAT men, This has been true, but
never has there heen such concentra-
ton Of great issues, of far-reaching
tendencies as those which are now in
progress. are now presenting their ap'
neal. and are going to call for treat
I1ent on the part of those so soon to
come into positions of leadership
Third reason why this will be the
most remarkable generation. of boys
that the world has ever known in the
GREAT responsibility which will come
upon them. This will be due in part
to the great depletion of manhood. of
men that were to have carried the bur
dens. occasioned by the great world
war. 1t will be due likewise to the
interruption in peaceful activities of
many millions of other young men at
an age when they could not perfect
their preparation, and who. therefore,
will be obliged to go forward handicap
ned It must rest with Their generation
o. bows on whom we are tonight fixiln g
our gaze, to assume dispropotionate
share of the leadership, to carry a vastly
dispropotionatc part OF the burdens of
responsibility that will have to be car
ried if the great issues of our time are
to be dealt with in an adequate way.
That the BOYS VIII be found wanting,
have no doubt whatever, unless the
home, the public school, the Y. NJ. c.
a. and the church of Jesus Christ prim-
arilv, with unselfsh intent and purpose
rise to a true conception of their uni
que responsibility.
Their are not only moral and intel
lectual but also spiritual, dangers. If
any people of our nation are to be neg
1ected we simply must not neglect the
bows. They must have the steadying
hand. They must have the guiding
hand. They must have the friendly
hand THEY must be introduced to our
Savior, the Great. Keeper the Lord Of
Lord of Life.
The boys of the present generation
have boundless possibilities. Crowded

WESTERN RAMBLER-A MAN

Nav 7. 1920

May 7, 1920.
Dear editor of Bystander: Again /
am giving communication, though not
on account of my rambling. =
There is a time in ones life when
a change is needed.
One can sit in a certain position so
long until he becomes tired and a change
in position will releave him of his tired
ness, therefore I change this communica-
tion from my rambling to the subject:
"a man Wanted''. The crying need
of the hour is for men, real men. men of
integrity, truthfulncss, industry and
character.
The demand of the age is for manhood
not legislation not organization, but a
man one who stands for the highest,
noblest and best in man.
A man is wanted who is ready to re-
form the world in his own heart. We
| want a man who can say to the weaker,
brother, "Follow me- then lead him
to higher ground.
If I had the authority vested in me
I would write over the door of every
workshop, business house, school build
| ing, church edifice, college institutions.
| court of Justice and legislative hall,
"a Man Wanted:'
! I would see to it that it was written
in ivory and gold over the door Of every
| home and engrave it on the mountain
| side. "A Man Wantcd.''
! After the father had created the world
and all therein and saw that it was good
it was all incomplete hence He made
man THE browning piece of creation.
! Suppose man was of the same high
standard today as when ne was first
created, what wonderful being he
| would be. What world this would be
I often hear women say, GA real man
is as hard to find as a hen s tooth.'
That is putting it little strong, for
that would mean there is not a real man
anywhere. We are bound to admit that
it seems hard to find men possessing
those elements necessary to characterize
manhood. Never before in the history
of the world have the responsibilities
of men been so great. Never before
have opportunities for service of men
been so urgent.
The age is calling for men who are
|, in possession of knowledge and char
acter, men who have made preparation
in some line of useful endeavor and
is willing to help fallen humanity, men
who are willing to sacrifice time and
means to make home an earthly para
disc and his community place of at
traction.
It is not at all times that one hun
dred and fifty pounds avoirdupois con-
stitute a man, that is TIE weight Of
human being, the house in which the
man lives. This house as it moves and
acts tells us the kind of man that lives
therein. We are judged by what we
do and say.
What the world needs most in the sol
ution of it's great problems the recon
struction is men with character. men
dare to do right because it is right. A
man of character is needed in the work

Hon. Albert B. Cummins, U. s. sena-

few weeks make several political
speeches in Iowa as follows, Saturday

unanimous support of every republican
voter in Iowa for his one election below
we clip what one of the many papers
are saying:
A PUBLIC SERVANT UNAFRAID.
| Keokuk Gate City: Senator Cummins
has brought to the discharge of his
| responsibilities a mind enriched by
years of study, reflection and exper-
fence. He has been the friend Of or
ganized labor ever since he, has had
| voice in the counsels of the state and
| nation. He virtually had charge of
! the antitrust bill in 1914 when it
was under consideration in the senate.
| The evolution of its many and difficult
provisions was largely his work. Sena
tor Cummins prepared and introduced
| the antitrust bill which was adopted
specifically reciting that labor was not
q commodity. He was1ithe author as
| well of the exemption of labor and
agric associations from the oper
alton of the antitrust law. But for the
senator s vigorous earnest and persist
ent advocacy of these amendments they
| might not have been passed. To sena-
| tor was upon the committee of confer
| ence, stood by his amendments and sue
| ceedcd i'll retaining them in the original
form.
Today before the republican state
convention at Des Moines this useful,
efficient and patriotic member of the
United States senate, who served his
state for three terms as governor, made
an all American address that should be
| heartening in this time of strife. unrest.
His words appeal to sense, and if his
point of view is agreed with and the
path he indicates is followed this coun-
| try will emerge from it's sea of troubles
! and avoid the rocks of dissatisfaction
| that surely lead to undoing of all the
good that comes from observance Of con
| stitutional law and consideration for
| the equal rights of others.
