ease might he revealed. The heroes
of the 'pcacetime are no less heroic,
no less deserving of tribute, and If
properly memorialized would save US
from the Illusion that glory alone
may be found in wartime.
Certainly the world needs to be
impressed with these truths. No
more effective barrier to war can we
conceive than that advocated by the
late President Harding, who declared
that in our next war, if one should
come, all should be drafted to the
service, irrespective of age sex or
condition; labor and capital, entire
families along with the sturdy sons
capable of bearing arms, the mind
which by training and capacity could
render service to the country, as well
as the Drawn and health of youth-all
drafted in a common service. If this
could be made a certainty through
out the world. If there could be as
surance that such a plan could be
impartially put into effect, the old
world would. count at least ten be-
fore declaring war. would stop to
blow the froth from libations pre-
scented in behalf of Mars before
drinking.

ABOUT WAR MEMORIALS

Finding that the usual memorial
tablet conveys the impression of glory
| and distinction to be won by war the
Legion post of Manchester by the
Sea propose to have one depicting the
horrors of war. Instead of a martial,
| heroic figure there is to be the skele-
ton of dead soldier hanging over a
barbed wire ENHANCEMENT.
AS might be expected controversy
has arisen between those who object
to thrusting the horrible on the vision
and those who, while deploring what
they believe to be the necessity, are
convinced this real aspect of war
should be kept before the mind.
Though differing as to the manner
of doing it, both should agree on the
propriety of endeavoring to impress
the world with the horrors of war
fare. No one should be permitted
to favor war without being con-
fronted with the actualities of war.
The contention that the average
memorial does not do this. but on
the contrary imparts to the impress
sion it conveys a conception of glory
and pomp, stirs rather than dampens
warlike ardor, has much to support
it. Here the question arises whether
this should be, done, whether it
makes for peace or for war, and if
for the latter, whether the sensi-
bilities of those who would have their
love for the beautiful gratified by
illusion, should be considered above
those who would have the grim truth
told, at the risk of callousing the
mind of the observer until he be-
comes ready to "outface the brow of
Dragging horror"
Thus Is begun controversy which
will never be ended by argument,
but, If at all, by the inclination of the
normal human being to seek the
beautiful, even though thereby his
conception of actuality becomes
weakened.
The actuality Of warfare, with all
it's horrors, with all its sordid &C
compartments, with its grafters in
high and low places, with its patriots
sacrificed and its proiteers enriched,
should not be forgotten, though the
constant Haunting of them might
make insensible the very minds we
would keep sensible. 1t is possible
these memorials should be designed
| to perpetuate the memory of those
memorialized rather than the name
of artist or sculptor, should illumi-
nate the vision Of sacrifice rather
than the palms of victory.
Neither should such memorials be
only for those whose sacrifices were
made in time of war;, Equally heroic
ones have been made in promoting
welfare in time of peace. Olives have
been sacrificed that truth about dis

A Glimpse of MIR. Coolidge

charleston News and Courier)
At last President Coolidge has Civ
en- us a glimpse of his personality.
In the course of a recent meeting
with the newspaper correspondents
who are received by the President at
the White House, the President said:
"I notice that some Of you prefer to
sit during our conference. You are
welcome to the use of my chair at
any time"
The correspondents in reporting
this remark must have realized that
1t was really a courteous but very
plain rebuke to some of their number
who had failed to realize the pro-
priety of standing when in the Presi-
dents presence. But they gave the
incident publicity because they re-
allied that it was story and that
it would arouse interest because it
threw at least little light upon the
personality of Mr. Coolidge.
What. exactly does it show? Per-
haps various people will form various
conclusions. Some will recall that
Mr.. Harding, lovable and always HUI
man. never put on any side" But
most Americans, we think, having as
high respect for the office of Presi-
dent as Mr.. Coolidge himself evident
ly has. will find this glimpse of his
real nature reassuring rather than
otherwise.
