Thought tor Today

Today is yours and mine; the
only day we have; the day in
which we play our part. What
Dnr part may signify in the great
whole we may not understand,
bnt we are here to play it, and
now is our time. This we know {:
it is a part of action, not of whin
ing. 1t is a part of love, not Gym
icism. 1t is for US to express love
in terms of human helpfulness.-

GETS DRAFT FROM UNCLE SAM.
Senator La Toilette Strengthened Out
the Boys Case.

Last week Fay Finney of Platteville
received draft from the government
for road works ervices rendered during
the war.
The particulars were about thus MIR
Finney was attached to a motor truck
regiment and was at a camp just south
Of Washington. near which some mill
tary Senators had valuable land hold
ings The entire regiment was kept
for fourteen months when ii was need
ed in France) building roads toward
these senatorial lands, The regiment
was practically all volunteers but kept
there building roads at the paltry pay
of $50 month per soldier, while civilian
negroes working side. by-side with them
were paid five dollars a day or better.
| Some of the soldier boys managed TO
get into Washington and report the
conditions to Senator baFoilette, whom
all knew to be a fighter for square
dealing. The Senator at once had an
nNeSiiRdAloN. anu tDe ItEiinthA WAS re-
lieyed from road work He then intro
duced a bill to have the boys paid the
difference between $50 per month and
what the civilian laborer got. At this
stage the commanding officer destroyed
the time sheets, and the matter has
been hung up until affidavits could be
obtained from individual members of
the regiment There were number
of Wisconsin boys in the regiment
Senator LaFollotte is credited with
having been active in the interest of
the soldier boys from the day the out
rage was reported to him, and il is
through his efforts that they have re-
ceived the extra money, to which they
were entitled.
1t is too bad that the grasping, dis
reputable Senators who schemed to be
thus personally benefited by soldier
labor were not forced in some way
to stand for every cent of the money
the government is thus paying out in
consequence of their rotton conduct
