Let the man who has boarded
even as much as a pound of
coffee ask himself what sort of
an American he is.
Let the man who is chiseling
here on rubber, here on gasoline
and on the other things. ask
himself what he is doing to
deserve the right to breathe the
free American air.
Let the little man. the middle
man. and the big man, use that
moment on November IL 10

his own Americanism.
Let the man who complains
of the high taxes figure out
how much easier it is to fill out

~ tory has there been another
time when IL was so necessary
TO have every mans shoulder
to the wheel.
And what better time TO put
that shoulder 10 the wheel than
on November IL? Not by a mo-
ment of silence. No. Not by a
routine stopping Of the days
work. No.
That was all right. perhaps. in
those years when we sat smugly
behind a Maginot Line of COM
PldNCiNys Dul IlO iIlOIG.
On November IL let us show
the world-our allies as well as
our enemies-that the United
States is so determined to carry
this war through TO a finish,
so relentless in its drive for the
determination of those powers
who scorn man and God alike,
that it is not willing to give up
so much as one minute of its
time.
TFIE dead will understand.
Il They will not feel that they
have been forgotten.
They will know that they still
live in the hearts of those they
died for, and whether their
graves be old or new, they will
be grateful for countrymen who
are bound to seek out the foe,
wherever he may be, and make
him pay the price.
If every American makes this
Armistice Day the day he
pledges 10 give all 10 his coun-
try. il will be the most glorious
tribute ever paid by a country
10 its heroic dead.

Wants Voting
Age Reduced

to mention virtue, who know
nothing Of the problems aof
youth and care less, arrange the
readjustments.
I feel that we are going to
need the vision of youth in a
world that is now operated
mainly by old men.
T BELIEVE youth is always
l. less susceptible of corruption
than age and that this would
be especially true of politics. be-
cause age develops a scale Of
living and tastes foreign to
youth that demand acquisitions
Of power and money that lead
to dishonesty, Intellectually and
otherwise.
1t is usually the old men In
politics who are the wrong 'uns,
as you can see by looking up the
records.
Youth would disdain the des-
perate clinging to political jobs
that is one of our great national
faults. Youth would reject the
fetish of veneration for political
age and long service which
keeps many worthless old blokes
in Congress and other political
offices.
But If you ask me il I expect
to see my idea adopted, / can
answer you In a word. No. We
cannot produce youth fast
enough to overcome the old guys
who make the rules. We can
only produce it fast enough to
win the wars for them.
