were vested in the doings of that poor
piece of clay, that then stood between
rs and the hordes of Huns and now
broken and bleeding, is borne to its
last resting place with scarce enough
to lower it into the grave decently.
If this were all, it might be differ
ent, but history but repeats itself and
the same scenes have been enacted al
ter each war of which the writer has
recollection. Today the last remnants
of the Civil War 60 to their graves
with the same loving few who true TO
the last minutes see them properly
laid away with the regret that should
obtain over their passing. The same
applies to the men who volunteered IN
the Spanish Amer lean War and all
other periods when men were called to
bear their breasts TO the BULLETS that
other men might live.
With such scenes before US is 1t
reasonable to marvel that the draft
is necessary to form the nations de-
fences? Does the nations evidences
of gratitude warrant any wild rush
on the part of its young manhood to
do and die for Duty? If these are the
evidences of community's estimate
of reward for the price Of a life CIV
en- for its defense, then the premium
is removed from Patriotism and the
"slacker' becomes a saint.
There seems to be no rule Of psy'
theological reasoning that justifies the
attitude of the public in this regard
The last honors due each ex-servicf
man, of any war, are binding ta'
on the whole community, each organ
ization that fourishes in the cit!
should send its delegate and its flora
offerings and take some note Of thes'
,, incidents. The city as communit!
J owes it to the deceased to view thi
> particular interment as the consign
ment to the earth Of one Of its yer,
own. That body belongs to all Of tn
people and damned be he that doe
mot pay it the honor that it deserves
Cannot the women Of Baton Roug
through some concentrated effort II
move the stigma on our communit
pride and our civic entity by prevent
ing these evidences of our unnatur'
10 ingratitude?
