songs that call up in memory the Civil War
Musicians are wondering what particular song Amer-
cans will always associate with the World War
The interesting possibility that they will not
remember any song in this connecon-unless It's writ
later.
The popular song during the Revolutionary War was
yankee Doodle" After nearly century and half

Hail. coumbial" was first sung April 25 1898. by
Young actor named Fox, in Philadelphia's Chestnut

As To Human Rights
and Property Rights
CFrom the National Republican,

The demagogue who seeks to gain
power by attacks upon Industry
oiten speaks of the struggle be-
tween human rights and property
rights. But property rights are
among the most precious Of human
rights Civilization begins when
government provides guarantees that
the accumulations of toll, thrift,
foresight and enterprise will be pro-
tecnd, and not before.
There is no better established
truth than that men will not toll
or plan without incentive. Modern
society has sought to bring forth
the maximum of human effort by
protecting the fruits of effort. The
patent system. which levies toll upon
millions in order that an individual
may be richly rewarded for devils
ing some means of more efficient
production. land titles, mining rights:
these and many other guar
antees OF the right OF the individual
to legally own that which is morally
his, though often assailed by revo-
lutionaries, are among the bulwarks
of property rights In civilized So
ciety.
There are things the political
demagogue cannot do. He cannot
compel men TO risk their time. effort
or money in Improbable undertak-
ings. 1t is within the power of gov
ernment TO appropriate profits, and
to lay upon productive industry
such burdens that investment in
factories, mines, farm and transpor-
tation systems will cease to be prof
liable. But in doing this the masses
of the people will be harmed not
helped. Employment will be de-
stroyed. production will be curtail-
ed, and general depression will in
evitably follow.
Among the most active OF the pro-
fessional assailants OF industry are
the State socialists, who declare that
when private enterprise has been
destroyed, government ownership |
and opration will follow. The peo-
pie of the United States have had |
some recent experience with govern
ment management of industry. and |
have come TO believe that political |
operation Is remedy far worse 1
than the disease ut was expected TO |
cure. Higher cost OF service, lower
quality OF service and the creation
OF menace to popular government
through the creation of a huge army
Of office holders. are the accompan-
iments OF such a system.
The revolution in Russia is said
to have produced $4,000 popular or
ators, whose appeals to ignorance,
envy and class hatred were so effec-
tive that the whole industrial fabric
OF an ancient nation was destroyed,
and the productive power of a
hundred million people has vanish
ed. No page in all human history
is blackened with such a chapter of
oppression, starvation and reaction
to barbarism as is that which rec
ords the ruin OF Russia by the soviet
socialists. II there had been any
thing in the theories OF the prop
originating politicians. Russia would
now be enjoying an Uptopian exist
ence.
