The
JThe Disabled Service Men most significant result of the recent
Armistice Day celebration in the United States is a public opinion . that has been thoroughly aroused by the distress of disabled sendee men. Every day brings 'new revelations of neglect and distress. Col. Galbraith, commander of the American Legion, recently declared that his association had to protect the disabled soldier mgainst the incompetency of the government. "These men are regarded as mere cases and
not as human beings," he said. "They appear to
be sheaves of paper, rather than the nation's heroes. The situation is pitiful even frightful.
The government did not build any hospitals for
the derelicts coming back from the war. In Chicago seven former service men were found in the poorhouse."
An indictment equally as severe, preferred by the New York Times on evidence it had found in
the East, recently was re-printed in The Palla
dium. Reports are coming from many points to
show that the men who answered the call "To
save America," and were disabled in the dis
charge of their duty, are today in desperate financial straits, lacking medical attention, and, in some cases, accepting charity of public institutions to sustain life. Can a patriot read these disclosures of criminal neglect without saying to himself that our government is recreant to a high duty and that the red tape of bureaucracy should be cut at once so that these disabled veterans of the war may receive their just reward? It isn't charity they seek. The nation owes them more than it can repay in form of compensation and loving kindness. The eternal dictates of justice are outraged every time one of these heroes is forced to suffer because of neglect. The very principle of justice requires that these shattered heroes be exalted
from the state of suppliants, begging for that'
which is due them, to the plane of independent citizens who are being recompensed adequately, quickly, and effectively for a service willingly given and heroically performed. No veteran of the war, who is disabled from
any cause whatsoever, ought to lack the necessities of life or suffer for the conveniences and comforts which an ill person requires. This relief should come quickly and be adequate for every legitimate need. America is a rich nation. We can afford to supply everything a crippled veteran needs. In glaring contrast to the pitiful condition of many of these veterans who have been waiting long weeks for their compensation and relief is the outrageous willingness with which we squandered money on many war projects. Who doesn't
remember the millions spent at Nitro, at Hog
Island, at the cantonments, in the airplane, An the heavy prdnance and munitions programs?
With feverish anxiety we asked our boys to fight to make the world safe for democracy, and
now, when the task is completed, these men who
fought for us, sacrificing their health, and happi
ness in our behalf, are forced to appeal to public
charity. What a shame! No wonder public opinion is loud in its con
demnation of the departments responsible for the condition. No wonder that the American Legion
must step in to do what the government is neglecting to do. We have examples in our own community. Commander Hunt, of the Harry Ray post, has' given many an hour of his time to obtain expeditious action on the petitions of our disabled boys, many of whom'have grown weary waiting, and in whom the hope of relief has almost
dwindled into the darkness of despair. Let it be known that in Richmond the only thing that stands between the plight of the disabled soldier and governmental inefficiency is the American Legion and its officers. Many a boy has a heart filled with gratitude for the generous servica which the post has given. And many a mother blesses in her prayers the men who performed a service of love in behalf of her son. If Harry Ray post, among other meritorious services, does nothing more than to obtain justice for the disabled service men of its own community, it will justify beyond all measure its rights to existence. How thankful we may be that the post and its capable officers are overlooking no opportunity to do good to their comrades !
Answers to Questions
Daily Reader (1 What would be
freight charges on furniture weighing
140 pounds, from here to Chicago? If the furniture has been used, the charges would be 83 cents per 100 pounds. (2) What are the annual salaries of the president of the United States and Charlie Chaplain? The former's salary Is $75,000; the latters is not known. Service Man Please tell me what proporion of Australians, New Zealanders, Indians, Canadians and Irish' men volunteered in the recent war. Also why did conscription fail in Australia. All Great Britain contributed 8,000,000 men to the winning of the war with Germany and her allies. Of this number more than 5,000,000 Englishmen and Scotchmen volunteered. The total contribution of men from
these two parts of the British isles was something less than 6,000,000 men. Australia sent 417,000, Canada 6ent 589,000: New Zealand sent 109,000 and India 953,374. The contribution of Ireland was between 125,000 and 150000, mostly from the north of Ireland. There was conscription in New Zealand but not in Australia. The reason why conscription was not used in Australia was that the total number of volunteers was in excess of 750,000 men, nearly double the number that commonwealth sent to the front, and it was therefore not necessary to adopt conscription. Reader When Was Bryan Prest dent? William Jennings Bryan was president one day, on July 4, 1913, while President Wilson and Vice-president Marshall were in Gettysburg, Pa., addressing the members of the Grand Army of the Republic. Most of the cabinet officers were spending the holiday at their homes.

Men and women think themselves out of ruts. They think themselves to higher levels of accomplishments. To try is noble and commendable but to think every step of the way while you try. is surely to achieve. To think is to grow, expand, and widen your world. To think is to enter the treasure vaults of the world and of all time. Be not content with merely trying. That is an average accomplishment. Try to THINK! Thinking adds color to the otherwise drab and dreary everyday. Everything is interesting to one who thinks. If you think, you will keep going. And the Somewhere toward which you go, will be a place worth arriving at. Kcrp trying Keep thinking. Ary again think again. Thing again try a gain.
the doctor was making a test of his
eyes. ' A card was fixed on the wall a little distance away from where he was sitting, and the doctor asked him: "Can you read that, my man?" "No, sir" said the old man, "I can't" The doctor told him to go nearer. "Well, can you read it now?" Again the old man replied: "No, sir"
The doctor agrily pulled him for
ward until his nose almost touched the placard. "Well, can you read it now?" "No, sir," replied the old man sadly
shaking his head. "You see, sir, I
never learned to read."
Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton
Why do teamsters and taxi drivers curse each other so fluently, while street sweepers speak softly as they pass with their refuse carts? Because ihe former would fight, "only I have to stay with my wagon," but the street sweeper doesn't have to stay with his wagon. This may have been the way the rumor started: shortly after his nomination the senator ordered a milk cow to be delivered at the family residence next March. The herd owner, from whom he bought the cow wrote to inquire just where he should ship her. and the answer he received wis: Book'er t' Washington Harding."

when November brings the frost we've long desired, the buzzings and the stings of insects make us tired. The flies I'd gladly teach, if I had half a chance, that there's a time to preach, and there's a time to dance; and there's a time to crawl upon a mortal's bead; and there's a time o fall and slumber with the dead. All things, when out of date, are trying to the soul; in summertime we hate to blow ourselves tor coal. We do not love the guy who jests around too long. Leaves have their time io fall, and roses to depart; the fly upon the wall should take this truth to heart.

The Rev. T. J.
