4 NATIONAL DISGRACE

Many who read this would have died on the bat
tlefields Of France or been permanently crippled
had it rot been for the American soldiers
known as disabled veterans
They stopped the enemy and his bullets. That
shortened the war-ended it before more OF the
folks back home drawn into the casualty lists.
The lucky ones who came through the war unn-
5ured enjoying peace. But the war goes
forever for the disabled soldier
In most cases his battle will last until his death.
And a battle that he is fighting largely alone.
More han three years have passed .snce the
Armistice. The disabled war veterans. far from
enjoying the comforts that are rightly theirs by all
laws of decency. again compelled to fight for
fair square treatment by the national government.
The situation discIoses gross neglect and almost
criminal stupidity in mishandIng the disabled sol
diers.
It is becoming en- old story. And it is Swallowed
by talk Of national ingratitude"
There is. however, no ngratitude. The American
people fully Of the tremendous debt they
their crippled and manned war heroes
The American people stand ready to foot the bill
for whatever is necessary to give these men square
deal
Responsibility for this national disgrace is some
where in Washington. Pot will call the kettle black
The buck will be passed freely between congress and
the Veterans Bureau.
The INSCRIPTIONS will coin political capital out
of the situation.
After all is said and done, the real trouble is
nothing but red tape and stupidity. It is unbeliev-
able that any American official or representative is
voluntarily throwing Instructions in the disabled
veterans path.
What is needed in Washington is little common
sense
In all the history Of our republic. there never has
been as black disgrace as the neglect of disabled
veterans The public refusing believe that Uncle
Sans efficiency has fallen to zero, demands action

4 NOTABLE CAREER.

Quite aside from any OF his purely spiritual or
church activities Pope Benedict who passes 70 his
rewards. carved for himself immortal place in
history by his influence for perpetual peace.
HIS was the voice that raised in protest when
peoples began their teEifc slaughter. His was an
appeal that had IN # the heart-break OF the world
and the utter horribIeness Of all that would have
been needed In any but world gone mad.
His appeals 10 his cardinals TO do their utmost

in the days Of onslaught and bitterness, bringing
aid and help to stricken homes.
II IS conceded ;hat his letter TO Pres't Wilson

we were not ~ IN the war timed to hour
when such an appeal would be effective, If at all.
That the offer failed and that this country was

ponderance OF force and its unselhsh adherence to
Christian principles detracs nothing from his effort
TO restore peace
during the war. the terribleness of war and his
heart wac burdened with the needless woes Of mill
lions.
His win be always linked with the story
OF peace with his effort to restore world TO

leadership that gives him an undying memory in
hearts of all who love peace and who hate wars.

FREEING THE CHILD

on next Sunday in many Of the churches of the
nation there VIII be observance of Child Labor
day
tt is annual event for the purpose of carrying
on the crusade TO free the American child from toll
and giving every boy and .grI equal chance for
education and equipment for life work.
IS matter. of pride to the people of Indiana
that this work received its first official recognition
through che efforts Of the Hon Albert J. Beveridge
when. os a member Of the United states senate, he
fought against the forces which capitalized little
toys and girls and secured the enactment of the
first federal law forbidding the enslavement of chill
dren.
When be began his crusades. the children es-
specially the south I'm the east were sent out
% work 40 productive trades when older than
10 years and great numbers never again saw a
school room and were condemned to go through
life with Tut scant armor against the hard competi-
ton with the educated
Little boys and girls were chained almost liter
ally. to the cotton looms Of the southern factories.
Little boys were sent to the depths of the Pennsy-
vania coal mines TO act as trappers live under
ground 90 give their lives their health that
profits might be made by owners and that coal
might Doe Sold Perhaps a few pennies cheaper to the
public.
It required Bcveridge to arouse the public con
science of the nation until today most churches set
aside one day in which to further impress upon all
minds the necessity of giving the future generation
chance for health. for education, uutrammeled
childhood.
The crusade this year is to be centered upon con-
ditons the cotton belt of Texas where child labor
IS still used
A survey shows that very many children above
the age of 10 years are compelled TO work at tasks
too heavy for their strength and over many months
each year.
Few attend the schools before November of each
year and do not remain after the first signs of
spring
These children come from families of nliterate
parents In many instances and are being them
selves. condemned TO ilteracy.
There IS no relation whatever between the condi-
tious under which these children work and the few
simple chores which the boy or girl upon an
Indiana or Ohio farm perform.
The interests which capitalize children have al
ways attempted 70 secure opposition to any reform
from the owners of farms 10y arguing that the law
viii forbid any boy or girl to do any work what
ever.
Ii IS false. Of course What is aimed at is to pre-
vent the taking of children whose parents can be
bribed or csoIed from schools putting them at tasks
which break down the foundation OF health and
which Keep Them from regular attendance at
schools.
The work begun by SEN Bevcridge grows each
year Very soon win be national in its scope and
nowhere this land win civilized society turn the
pvny strength of children into dollars and no COM
munity viu Dee permitted to continue the poison of
ignorance and uuteracy for the scant earnings of
its babies

This is of craftsmanship through publicity
Whether you sell automobiles dry goods or ideas
the direct approach is the effective method
This publicity article is given as a striking ex-
ample of how not dc things. Can you imagine
one person being drawn to a church door by this
rather age-worn pun?
