pie reason they were not there to
march. They were simply ignored.
Yet to have lert them out of such
a religious service was the most
egregious omission OF Hamlet Of
which we have ever heard. Surely
II any people have ground for COM
plant against the War Department
or whoever the managing directors
were, II was the a.. .o0o. 900 religious
people of this country who witnessed
the sorry spectacle Of a practical
snub of their religious leaders.
No wonder conditions in this
country are bad when such a thing
can be done. Moreover this fiagrant
omission OF the clergy was the less
excusable because OF the part they
played in the war. II was not mem
bers of Congress who made that
Unknown Soldiers career a possi-
bility and that Of the myriads for
Which he stood. They did not in
spire our young men with those
ideals of self-sacrifice which led
them to offer themselves in tens Of
thousands.
Il Is high time that even -legis-
latures and all departments Of state
recognize that the supreme need of
our country tooay Is far more reli-
gion and that the clergy are doing
their best to supply this. And fur
thermore that the one insistent duty
binding on every man who considers
himself a patriot is to aid the min
listers OF religion by every means
In his power.
In our sober judgment the man
who is not doing this is not even
worthy to be considered an Ameri-
can loyal to his country. He is sim
ply a drag on the chariot wheels
and all his efforts apart from this
are but beating OF the air. Fur
thermore, we are under the impres-
sion that the people are daily be-
coming more appreciative OF this
fact and are expecting of their rep
resentatives in Congress and else-
where that they also become more
appreciative of Il, too.

statement by saying Mr.. Edgerton

As for the article wherein Mr.. e.

that these soldiers are a bunch of

that the industry which produces the greatest
amount OF new wealth each year, but which has
suffered more San any other, and undeservedly, is
reviving as the country itself revives
This Is case where all things work together
for good. Our domestic conditions could mot i'm

Lack OF buying power abroad has been the chief
cause OF the fall of our farm prices for goods of
which we exported IN 1921, Io,276,z2s tons That

there was no lack of demand for our products, and

Calls Clergy Snubbed.

To the Editor, The washinGton Herald:
1t Is not my intention to express
any opinion upon the merits Of the
question raised a day or two ago
in tho Senate as to whether the War
Department did or not insult the
Senate by the place assigned II In
the burial procession of the Un-
known Soldier. With the refreshing
spectacle before ones eyes OF Sena-
tors deeply interested in a religious
srvice one could not have the heart
to do that and especially because
for a long time past an impression
has prevailed that for the most part
the Senate has sustained q Gallio-
like indifference toward all religious
services in Washington. Likewise
the House of Representatives. 1t is
therefore most, encouraging to OBJ
serve that this impression SO far as
the Senate is concerned, is without
foundation.
To be sure there are citizens, not
a few, who can see no reason why
members of Congress should have
felt that they all had to be present
on that occasion. Undoubtedly some
members from both houses should
have attended as representing the
national legislatures, but why the
full membership of both houses OF
Congress should have been expected
officially to attend the service or
why. all circumstances considered,
they should have wanted to do SO NJ
an unsolved mystery.
I write for another purpose. Al
though the places assigned to the
senator's were not sltoeether to
their liking apparently all were In

bers: likewise their wives and

There were only SIG cattle in the

The state department os agri-

that efforts can be concentrated

DR.. Neff said, in counties where all
