Who Dug Their Graves I Who dug their graves? The voice feat might Have raised itself to cry "Beware!" The heart that was "too proud to fight" And yet too timid to prepare. The casual brain that sent them forth, Those boys, our bravest and our best , The courteous South, the hardy North, The earnest East, the warrior West To camps that made their makers rich And slew as never iron storms ; To muddy field and icy ditch In deadly contract-uniforms. Who dug their graves? The eyes that slept Too soundly to permit a tear; The vacillating lips that kept Our ordnance. all assembled here! Who left the aircraft on the ground At home, the sycophants and slaves, Grafters who cringed when Power frowned But took the cash these dug their graves! The Cause is greater than its price As night is lesser than the day ; But for the needless sacrifice, Great God in Heaven, they must pay!

Mawkish Sentimentality At Brazil, Indiana, Homer S. Cummings, who delivered a Democratic address in Richmond Tuesday night, declared the Republican party is driving President Wilson to an early grave by its persistence in the fight against the League of Nations. This is about the smallest political argument that has been advanced so far during the campaign. If honest opposition to Wilson's scheme to Europeanize the United States is responsible for his paralysis, then Democrats will have to share with Republicans the blame. Loyal and patriotic senators from the Democatic side joined with equally loyal and patriotic Republicans to defeat an unparalleled threat against the liberty and destiny of our republic.

Historical Floats for Armistice Day Every one welcomes the decision of the parade committee to confine representations on floats to historical topics. Our history, municipal, state and national, is rich in incidents that accommodate themselves readily to representation on a float. The mantle of secrecy which has

been thrown about the ideas that will be represented is also a good move. It will keep the in

terest pitched to a high key. In recent years this country has taken commendable interest in pageantry. The centennial celebrations of many cities and states brought its use to the foreground sharply and it has remained there. The public has been educated to expect meritorious displays and gives its approval to cleverly executed designs. In passing it may be noted that the Richmond public should forget its staid and conservative habit of mind when the parade proceeds on Main street on Armistice Day. Seldom does the throng of spectators applaud striking and handsome displays, or cheer a section of marchers. It was so during the patriotic parades a few years ago. The crowds were not cold or apathetic in their patriotism. Quite the contrary. They were loyal to the core. But they were unable to break through their crust of conservatism and restraint to indulge in the hearty applause and cheering that should have greeted the paraders, This is a municipal habit that should be f oresaken. Armistice Day stands for a great prin.cipe, for a noble idea, for an exalted theme. Let our hearts be filled with the patriotic spirit of the day and our mouths show the fervor of our souls by applause and shouts. When the service men come swinging down Main street, there isn't a voice that should not meet the former fighters with shouts and cheers. They went into the service gladly and willingly. They fought with the spirit of free Americans. On this, the first great reunion of our fighters,

the community ought to respond with an outburst of enthusiasm that will linger long in our

! memories and set a new mark for our opprecia-

tion of their services. Let's get into the spirit of the day and manifest it with vim and energy. Never will we have a better opportunity to start the reform than on that day. All of us will have abundant occasion to forget our diffidence and reserve on that day. If you are bashful, remember your neighbor intends to rejoice and celebrate just as loudly and happily as you do. Start the noise-making and the contagion of your action will rapidly communicate itself to the persons flext to you. Soon Main street will be filled with happy and buoyantly rejoicing citizens, elated over the splendid boys that made possible the day, and enthusiastic over the pageantry revealing in graphic form the great historical incidents of our republic.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

v J IT'S THE WAY YOU GO AFTEP THINGS. Ono man poes ahead, does his work and takes his prizp. The other fellow looks him over as he passes by and says, "Just an accident, that's all!" But there are few accidents of tine or of destiny. Life is made up of angles and it's the angle you see it from that makes you liappy or unhappy, rich or pour. I recently read a beautiful story that Ellis Parker Butler tells. Two little Rirls were playins in a garden. One faid: "I do not like this garden; I do not want, to stay here. Let us go home. There are too many thorns on the rose hushes." The other little p,irl replied: "Why, this is a beautiful rarden! I like this garden! It is so full of sunshine and there are so many

roses on the thorn bushes." j It's the way you go after things that determines what you are going to get. And it is so much better to strive for the things you love and want and fail to get them than to get the things you do not strive for and do not want. Failure is not to see not to do not to live! To take dr.ys and hours with facility is real heroism. "Yes the task that is given to each man no other can do; So your work is awaiting: It has awaited through ages for you. And now you appear; and the Hushed Ones are turning their gaze To seo what you do with your chance in the chamber of days." This is tho inspiring thought that Edwin Markhara lias penned. We are responsible humans. But we musi. take up responsibility and carry ic through, come what may. And you may well be assured that if you go iifter things rightly, you will not dine r.t the table of disappointment.

lord blue-blooded, "I want to buy an ermine hat and necktie diamond-studded." And he would paw and beat his breast and cut an angry caper, if you in kindness should suggest a nice, new suit of paper. The tinsmith wants imported cloth when he goes out for raiment; for paper suits that cut a swath he'd never make a payment. My paper pants look rather cheap, and they're a frost almighty, and often I'm inclined to v?ep when in my paper nightie; beneath my paper hat I write, beside the heaving billow, I save all day and sleep all night upon a paper pillow. And I'm the only guy on earth who's cautious, saving, thrifty; my paper duds have little worth, but bank accounts are nifty.

STORM HITS LOGANSPORT LOGANSPORT, Ind., Oct. 15. A high wind, reaching the velocity of fif

ty miles an hour shortly after noon, did considerable damage to light and telephone wires here Friday. Ed. Dunkle was hit by a falling tree snapped off by the wind and rendered unconscious. Plate-glass windows were broken in a number of places. The mercury reached 82 this afternoon, setting a record here for the middle of October. The heat wave, which has continued for several days, was broken late in the afternoon with a heavy downpour of rain.

THEY'RE GOING OUT OF STYLE. Old Effendi All Pasha Gazam used to be the harem-scarem of Turkey, or maybe it was Persia or Egypt or some other benighted country that has not yet learned to stand for two hours in a telephone booth without getting an answer or to enjoy any of the other great blessings of civilization. There were thousands of old Effendi who believed in harems, but they are going out of style. They are losing their taste for harems just as some Americans are finding out that even a slight case of bigamy is too much of a drain on the pocketbook. Before the war old Effendi used to squat on an expensive rug with a large

glass pipe full of genuine Pride oi

the Gravel Train tobacco in front of him, and fifteen or twenty yards of

rubber tubing leading to his mouth.

He would be surrounded by a bevy o? good looking wives. He couldn't have done that in New York, even before the war, when prices were much lower than they are now. He wore a large ruby on the index finger of his right hand, blew beautiful smoke rings, ate stuffed mangoes with his pocket-knife and was quite a killer with the ladies. All his wives looked up to him, and what he said went. If it didn't the wife went. He had a trapdoor in the floor of the throne room through which a medium sized wife could be dropped into the river with a minimum of trouble and with almost no scandal. The coming woman had not arrived and she was, in fact, quite a long way off. If one of them had asked him for a new record for the victrola, ne could compromise the matter with her by having her carried out, sewed up in a sack and set adrift nine miles at tea, allowing her the privilege of swimming back in the sack. Thus there was always harmony in the home. Those were gala days for the sterner sex in those parts. But now the war has changed all that, the 'same as it has changed a great many other things. Effendi and all his friends were considerably gossiped about at the Paris conference. He had lost his country, his ruby ring, his stuffed mangoes and several yards of his pipe tubing. Expenses went up to such an extent that he had to send the wives out one at a time to do plain sewing and general housework. While thus engaged, they picked up a number if ideas about women.

They grew indifferent to Effendi's home; left the dishes standing in the sink; refused to take care of tho horses and made Effendi do the darning and mind the babies. But the blow came when they decided to remove their veils. When Effendi saw what his harem looked like in broad daylight he threw up his
