Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON
HOURS OF SADNESS.

We all have hours of sadness, when
We abandon mirth. and talk about the
badness of everything on earth. Per
haps the grub we swallow has made
cur innards ache, and we say life is
hollow, a grim and CHASTITY fake Per
haps some firm is busted, whose stock
we lately bought, and we are sore
disguised, discouraged and distrausht
Perhaps the neighbor's DorHng has
scratched our beans again, and we,
with language corking, derounce that
active hen. But after eight hours
sleeping we're glad and gay once more
and have no use for weeping, and think
that grief's a bore. Unfortunate the
mortal who rises from his couch, and
feels no wish to chcrtle, but airs a
beastly crouch. Mans sorrow should
be driven by slumber from his mind,
for that's why sleep is given to weary
humankind. A crouch is, in the
cleaning. a common thing with us,
for then tired men are combing their
souls for things to cuss: their feet are
full of thistles, their whiskers full of
hay, and no one sings or whistles at
closing Of the day. But in the bril-
last morning, when all the world is
bright, the healthy man is scorning
the spectres of last night.

Gen. Pershing's Appointment

The appointment of Gen. Pershing as chief
of staff by Secretary of War Weeks will be of
inestimable value in the reorganization of our
military affairs The selection of Gen. Harbord
as assistant chief of staff also is happy one.
The wish is general for a modern organiza-
ton of our defenses so that our military estab-
lishment will be capable of demanding the respect
of the nations of the world.
When we entered the World war we were
woefully deficient in everything that enters into
the successful prosecution of modern warfare.
We learned costly lessons in treasure and blood,
which should be utilized in the present era to
avoid future mistakes and errors
Unpreparedness is costly from military
standpoint The nation cannot afford to remain
unprepared for future contingencies. The frame
work of powerful military organization should
be developed now The service of Gen. Pershing
in perfecting this system is invaluable and con-
gress should assist with efficient legislation to
perfect modern organization.
"It is the plan of the secretary of war;" said
MIR. Weeks, respectfully to charge Gen. Pershing,
when he assumes the office of chief of staff with
the organization and training of all elements Of
the army of the United States, which by law is
designed to include the regular arm, the national
guard. and the organized reserves. 1t is pro-
posed that Gen. Pershing become actively ac-
quanted with the various elements of the organ
lied reserves and the national guard, which
would form the larger part of the army, which
he would command if active operations should be
undertaken before the date of his retirement or
detail to other duty.
Maj Gen. Hartford. as executive assistant to
the chief of staff, will have supervision over the
administrative activities of the department
under the chief Of staff, handling such matters
directly with the secretary of war and leaving
Gen. Pershing free to devote his time to the Or
ganizaton and training OF the army and allied

The Proposed Memorial Building

The only memorial in Wayne county honor
ing the memory of the veterans of the Civil war
is a tablet in the court house. Repeated efforts
to erect an imposing monument in their honor
have failed.
A project to erect a memorial for all the SOL
diers, sailors and marines of Wayne county is
now before the public mind. Under Indiana
statute, counties have the right to erect
memorials for their service men, and methods
are prescribed whereby the cost is limited and
the payment spread over number of years.
What shall be done with the present pro-
posa?
There is danger that the opportunity will
slip by and Wayne county neglect to erect suit
able memorial for her fighters. A committee is
preparing to bring the project before the people
in special tour of the county in which speakers
will discuss the advisability and appropriateness
of carrying out the plan of erecting memorial
building here.
As soon as a petition is presented to the
county commissioners asking for the construc-
ton of the memorial, they empowered to go
ahead, provided remonstrance with more sig
natures than the original petition is not pre-
scented. 1 =
No one questions the appropriateness of
erecting a memorial in honor of the fighters.
An imposing edifice so arranged as to provide
place for large gatherings, and with other ia
cties that can be used by the patriotic organ
izations Of the county, is badly needed.
One can hardly conceive of remonstrance
to an action asking the commissioners to take
steps that will assure the erection of memorial
in honor of the men who have fought in the ma
tons wars. The sentiment prompting the cree
