Our Common Shame
and Our Common Blame

comrades have to collect shirts and
underwear for them, and hunt
around for an "old suit case" when
one of the poor chaps is shifted
from one hospital to another-from
one dump to anotherl
The poor fellows haven't even a
bag to put their little belongings in
when this big, rich, grateful Govern
ment sends them from one of its con-
tract hospital dumps to another as
bad or worse.
Whose blood wouldn't boil in his
veins when he sees these brave, sick,
helpless lads who poured their own
blood in wonderful and glad iba-
ton upon the holy altar Of duty and
loyalty to the. nation, thus treated
like unwelcome paupers-like back
gate beggarsf
What is the matter with you de-
cent folks that you stand by and
make no protest to your servants in
Washington
What about you sensible, decent,
real Americans, who didn't make
spectacles of yourselves or of your
honest patriotism in those days, but
soberly went about doing your quiet
duty to your countryi
Why are you still now, when you
ought to be speaking out boldly and
Indignantly
Are you going to let these sick
and disabled lads lie where they are,
let them be treated as they are, let
them be neglected as they are-and
say nothing to the men in official
places who are responsible for this
shame and disgracei
Are you, folks, are youi
Because if you are, you are not
much better than the fake patriots
who threw flowers and kisses to
these lads when they marched past
so gallantly as they went to get their
wounds and sicknesses, and who shut
their ears and their eyes-and their
purses-when anybody mentions the
poor lads to them now.
Sit down and write to your Con-
gresham right now.
Tell him what's what.
And don't be too mild and gentle,
either.
Then go out and get your neigh
Dor to do the same thing.
These sick and crippled lads
wasted their youth and shed their
blood for YOU.
Now do something for THEM.

Stars and Stripes

When we learn from the mistakes of others
we gain knowledge in the school Of life for
which others have paid tuition.
A good reputation is better than good in
come; by living up to the former we main
tain It; by living up to the latter we lose it.
Royalty that boasts blue blood in its veins
had ancestors with red blood on their hands.
We can judge a man by the way he spends
his leisure as well as by the way he spends
his money
When man has no pardon for the faults
of another, IL is because he has used nm his
forgiveness in freely psrdoning his own.

who are in hospitals and supposed to
be in the care of a grateful Govern

Listen to this statement, made at

Whenever patient is trans

gladly fit him out with summer
underwear, pajamas, old suit cases,
etc. We feel that it is not only
our duty, but a pleasure, to serve
those who did not come out of the
war as fortunately as we did. But
at the same time, we rather resent
the inability of an army apparent

all kinds to furnish its wounded
and sick with the proper clothing.
And then, to cap the climax, the
depot quartermaster will issue un-

same. Then we'n be able to do
something for the boys without
paying for it out of our own
pockets.
Those simple words are a burning
indictment of the Government and
the people who have so neglected
these sick and crippled soldiers.
The shame is common. We are all
to blame. And what black shame
it isl
When these lads answered their
country's call they neither needed
nor asked anybody's help Yet
everybody rushed to promise them
help and care, if ever they came to
need them.
When they marched away to fight
their country's battle they were
cheered to the skies, and there was
no limit to the promises made to
them that the Government would
never forget them, never neglect
them, and never cease to take loving
and bountiful care of them if they
came back home crippled or dis
abled.

old stand in 1921. The war may
have thrown some of them into tenn
porary retirement, from which they
now emerge, perhaps all the strong
err. If some of them seem to wear
new faces, the same spirit is behind
the masks. Obviously, the duty OF
the time toward them is plain. We
must take up the work where it was
interrupted by the war, and prose-
cute it to completion. This is to be
done in what Mr.. Hammond felicit-
ously calls a spirit of "chastened OPP
timism." There never was time
when mere highfalutiu was more out
Of place than it would be today; but
neither was there one when there
was a more substantial basis for res
dilute confidence and good cheer.
Another duty, or phase of our
duty, is equally clear. 1t is that we
shall ''try to serve humanity not by
telling 1t in bulk what is good for it,
but by carrying out among ourselves
the reforms that we prepare for ex-
port" Thus we can make our sim
cerity evident and our eyperiehce
valuable. Work; increased produc-
tion and improved distribution; re-
lance upon industry and not upon
law for prosperity; application to
conditions whether new or old OF
those fundamental laws which are
never new or old but perpetual
these are the ways and means
through which old foes with new
faces are to be met and overcome.

"OLD FOES WITH NEW FACES.

Popular commentators upon the
state of the world have, in these
early days of the New Year, have
been largely falling into one and
sometimes both of two not unnatural
errors. Some, seeing the evil that is
in the world and charging II all
against the war, so far subordinate
memory to imagination as to reckon
everything to have been for the best
in the best possible of worlds down
to the first of August, 1914. Some,
thinking chiefly of the stupendous
changes which have been wrought by
the war, assume that all the old is
sues, problems, duties, have passed
away and that all things have be-
come new. Both are in error, and
both errors, if made the basis of
conduct, are mischievous.
A shrewd reminder was given by
the Hon. John Hays Hammond, in a
recent article in Golfers Weekly, of
the deplorable condition of the world
just before the beginning of the war.
In every important country of the
world, commerce, industry, econom-
les, were in an unsatisfactory il not
actual menacing state, while social
unrest and political agitation APP
preached the danger mark. We
ourselves were not exempt Pros
perity was at a low ebb; business
was uncertain and timorous; our
own laws hampered us in foreign
trade but opened wide our gates for
the products of foreign competitors;
the standard of American life was
n,,sl 60 80 mi
ment and of excessive immigration
Of an undesirable type; and 1--WE had
an adverse trade balance and a
growing bread line."'
That was our plight in 1914, as
we >keenly realized then If we do not
all remember now. We were saved
from what would probably have been
one of the most disastrous panics
and depressions in all our history
by the on-coming of the war and the
tremendous stimulation of American
business for the meeting of Europe
an demands. We attained an arti-
fetal prosperity never before known.
We also incurred new problems and
new difficulties, chiefly of a tran
silent nature. No doubt the Aspect
of this country, as of the whole
world, is very different from what
II was six or seven years ago. SO is
the aspect of nature this winter
quite different from what is was last
summer. But il remains the same
old nature, the same old world.
What we need to realize, as Mr..
Hammond reminded us, is that our
old friend Adam is still among us.
The same problems that beset us in
1914 are doing business at the same

The bill has been drafted largely
by Casper Schenk, chairman of the
committee, and as 1t now stands
contains the provisions cited above.
Some changes may be made before
the measure appears in the assem-

service between the declaration of
war April 6. 1915 and his discharge

MUCH CORN MARKETED

Corn lis being marketed in a guam
tity greater than at any time since
the early eighties.
More than 100000 bushels were
marketed at Anita during the last,
thirty days, declare grain dealers.
Not in the last thirty years has so
much corn been received in a given
length of time. the elevator men
say. One elevator has bought and
shipped more than 100000 bushels.
The news from Anita is similar to
that which was received here on
Saturday from Griswold, where the
elevators were said to be filled 20

sheds pressed into use for storage of
corn. Word comes from Nicola that
"a like condition prevails there, .25,-

bushel.

that the man with whom he is matched

OF temperament which urges them on to
victory when they are down.
There are many golfers who play
their best golf after finding themselves
on the losing side. They seem to make
up their mind that in order to win they
have to play only the best brand Of
golf. and the fact that they are down
spurs them on to victory.
Fits OF Temper
The man who has had a good lead,
only to find 1t vanishing or completely
gone. always seems at q disadvantage
In taking the lead again. Perhaps 1t is
because he has made up his mind that
he can take it easy during the afternoon
match that he finds it impossible to
reopen his attack and again take the
lead.
The man who bursts into tit Of tenn
per after a poorly executed shot should
not be excused on the grounds that he
Is victim Of golf temperamentality.
Fortunately We find this mostly in
youthful players and they usually learn
after three or four years Of club tlinging
exhibitions that they are doing their
game more harm than they can ever
realize.
These fits Of temper break out in
the most unexpected places, and
