A PLEA FOR UNEMPLOYED
SERVICE MEN


lea, many of them walking the streets
and getting a meal where they can
These are the same boys who left fol
the front a few years ago with the
applause of the public ringing in theil
ears, and gave a year or two years OF
their young lives to preserve the free
dom of America and Of the world. 1t
would seem that they are now en-
titled to an opportunity to earn a
livelihood for themselves.
National Commander McNider of the
American Legion, makes the follow
ing plea for the unemployed of the
nation:
ION the eleventh Of last November,
with pomp and ceremony and tribute
from the great nations of the earth,
the American Legion laid at final rest
an unknown American soldier. He
had given his all that American ideals
nigh prevail and that America might
stay America. A grateful nation
bowed in silence and took him into
its heart enshrined. But few years
ago this American boy perhaps passed
your very door unnoticed and I'M
needed Today hundreds of thous-
ands of him pass by who worked
and fought and gave their best that
this nation might endure. Today these
hundreds of thousands ask only con-
tinued opportunity to prove their
citizenship, to earn an honest living,
to live a useful life.
"The American Legion, standing
with them, asks that you do all in
your power to make this possible for
them, that you strain bit if neces-
sary to help them along their way,
to give them employment and chance
to live Resplendent dignitaries, great
addresses and solemn music paid
homage to the unknown soldier last
November. This unknown soldier
even now is passing your door Your
faith and appreciation will inspire
him. Give him work"

RESPONSIBILITY WITH PARENTS
The scandal involving a number of
high school children in Spokane,
which was recently uncovered through |
police investigation, should be a warn
ing to parents in every community. |
One can scarcely imagine parents al
lowing their sons and daughters of I
from Is to II years of age go to pub
lie dances and then make no inquiry
when they failed to show up at home
afterward. In cases where the child
rem have homes and parents it seems
vry plain that someone more than the
children are to blame 1t may be that
social affairs have held the attention
of the parents and they have entirely
neglected their children. or it may be
they have led lives which made it i'm
possible for them to have any in ]
fluence for good over their own child
rem; or that the parents may have
simply neglected the children, trust .
ing to luck to keep them within the {
bounds of rectitude. In either event r
The parents are the ones to blame,
while the children, with blighted lives, =
ire tl0 real sufferers.

VALUE OF EDUCATION r.

ord to skimr on. That is education

ween Russia and the United States is -. 81,

)ssible for every boy and girl, in ~
lie country as well as in the city, to &c
