Honor the Living Soldier No one will find fault with the suggestion of Gen;- Pershing, that the body of a soldier buried as "unknown" shall be brought from France for intermehtin the national cemetery as a mark of honor tq, those who served as privates; and yet

almost all of us would be intensely gratified to

know that the government had set agoing the

machinery whereby the disabled living soldier

would receive not only justice but more than that for his services. The "unknown" soldier whose body will be

returned to mis country nas no need ot new

honor, neither have the thousands who lie en

tombed in France with markers establishing

their identity. But the thousands of soldiers who are suffering from disability caused by the

bullet and bayonet of the eiemy, or by the poison

ous gas which, they inhaled, or the infirmities which followed their training in the camps at home heroes who are living lives of privation and discomfiture have need of the nation's attention. We can add little to the glory which the heroes who died in France earned for themselves and their republic. We cannot detract from the immortal fame which they won for themselves and for American arms. They are listed among

.the immortals, who always will be revered and honored by their country. But we can add mightily to the welfare of thousands of disabled men who are the physical wrecks of sound specimens of manhood that a few years ago left home and fireside to fight for a great principle. Our sense of justice and gratitude ought to be shamed every time we hear of the dilatory tactics that attend the granting of compensation and medical relief for these men, our brothers and sons. Physically unfit to do a full day's work, sometimes too weak to walk, thousands of them are hoping that the American sense of fair play will soon assert itself in tremendous might to demand that their cases receive, attention at once. What good does it do to pay honor to the dead when, in superlative negligence, we permit the living heroes to suffer for want of medical attention and sometimes for the ordinary necessities of life ? Certainly patriotism is more than a reverent respect for the dead. Real patriotism embraces the living, and proves by deeds that the nation requites splendidly and effectively the men who fought and bled for it. These men have claims on our patriotism which we cannot overlook and ignore. A disabled veteran who grows weary of waiting for relief is an indictment of our sloth and negligence. We have permitted month after month to slip by without changing methods that make for such conditions. ' Let us honor the dead by making happy the living. Certainly no "unknown" soldier would care to be buried with military pomp and splendor in our national cemetery if he knew that, while the ceremonies were being conducted in his honor, thousands of his fellow soldiers, men who fought as valiantly as he did but who escaped death, are being shamefully neglected by the republic.

VENTURES IN COMMON SENSE

" By ED. HOWE Iu every mother's talk to her children, she includes the importance of thrift..' We have as much contempt for tbe spendthrift as we have for the drunkard. Life is a very serious business; we know saving is as important as, industry or politeness or fairness; it is an essential part of life, this saving your money, and avoiding becoming a public or private charge in your o!d age. We know that the man who saves a reasonable part of his money is the most useful citizen; he is most likely to contribute to worthy things. Ho rarely gives as generously as the soliciting committee demands, but he gives something, which a man who has saved nothing cannot dp. Every development in the history of the country is due to thrifty men; men who work diligently and save something. We all know these things. Then why do we generally abuse those who have taken the advice of their mothers? Yet we do not say a wanton is better than a virtuous woman. When we say to a boy: "Become a good man," we mean thrift as much as we mean fairness, politeness, industry, temperance. When we say to a girl: "Become a good woman," we include the hope that she will be chaste; chastity is thrift: good conduct for its own sake.

There are a good many bosses in the world; you find them in every store, school, office, shop, home, and on every farm. It is a rare man or woman who is not boss to some one. Let me beg you to be a fair boss. It is the easiest way to do your work. Rudeness and unfairness to those under you foment revolution. This day when all the world is excited about individual rights Is a, particularly bard time for a bad boss. Any one who administers authority unfairly is a scoundrel, whether he reigns over a half dozen or a thousand. Every divorce suit is a revolution against a boss. Friends quar

rel because one or the other has been overloaded; even parents revolt because children are not reasonable bosses. There are many revolutions of

this kind of which the world never hears anything.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

"There are many better things than whisky for colds," says a doctor, but the trouble is, when we are in a hurry we can never think of them. Many a young girl yearns to grow up to she can wear skirts as short as her mother's. Cable says the shah of Persia has rot abdicated after all. Maybe he can't And anybody who will take the job. Alex Berkman is now wearing a swort in Russia. But, is he wearing a shirt?.. Mme. Tetrazzini comes to the defense of the blondes, just as if the blondes needed it. Oh, bov! SOUNDS LIKE A PARAGRAPH FROM THE L. OF N. COVENANT Dear Roy If you think a lawyer's lot is a happy one, read the following extract from a recent decision on a CueMion of evidence: "An evidentiary fact can be considered as admissibly relevant only when the desired conclusion based upon it is r more probable or natural, or explanations of the fact, if any, aro either l?s probable or natural, or at least

less more probable or natural.

In any event, the susceptibility or a

fact to produce an inference must be

denied, when the probative force or

effect of that inference may be wholly

frustrated at the option of the one to be affected by it." A. Alexander Thomas. WE MUST HAVE WEATHER, WHETHER OR NO. It's too cold to laugh. And it's too cold to cry, It's too cold to live. , And it's too cold to die, It's too cold to stand, And it's too cold to walk. It's too cold to Ping, And it's too cold to talk.

Rippling Rhymes

By WALT MASON

- NOT ON DUTY I called on Dentist Bacon to have my teeth half-soled; the way said teeth were achin caused agonies untold, and I, by peace forsaken, had feet supremely cold. The office was deserted, no scientist was there; but patients, mol-ar-hurted. reared up to groan and swear, because the dentist flirted with golf and damsels fair. I sougrt his office daily throughout a weary week, the while the toothache gayly played tag beneath my cheek; "Oh, woe and willow waly!" I often used to shriek.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adamt, Author of You Can", "Take It". "Up". r 'LOST The best of life comes about through our efforts to find it. We come into the world as dependents. If we are worthy of our mettle, we leave it with people leaning on us glad of the chance to lend of the strength we" have developed. People discover themselves within themselves! And many times after searching the world over. To be lost in the midst of vastness is a terrible experience. Our vaunted bigness shrinks to a kind of littleness that merely flits in the air of infinity. We begin to look upon the perishable flowers at our feet and envy their end shrouded in beauty and fragrance. I have listened to the Btories of men who have told me of their feelings at being lost for days in great woods, and this is the picture imaged upon my mind. But the most bitter experience of all is to be lost In the midst of the whirl and activity of everyday life. Most of the complications that enter our life are caused by ourselves. And then, instead of sitting down and thinking things all out, we confuse everything by getting overwrought and overtired and just plain discouraged. Then we don't know where we are for we are lost! Let us begin each day with a simple plan. And let us keep our eyes upon it and go through to the finish. Then at evening call we shall know the way home!

V I hired the vijlage tanner; he, with the plumber's aid, with crowbar and with spanner dug out the teeth decayed, and in a blithesome manner the modest bill I paid. Those business men are silly who close their office doors, to seek the golf course hilly, and play around out doors; their customers grow chilly, and chase to other stores. I like to play and gamble, the business hours between; I like to take a ramble in my tin limousine; but first I scratch and scramble to earn the good long green. When people seek my dwelling to buy three yards of rhyme, they find me there a-selling my merchandize sublime, my honest bundle swelling by added plunk and dime.

I "Funny thing happened the other :day," related Jones. "I was In one of those neax-beer places and absent- ! mindedly asked for a manhattan cock

tail." "Did you get it?" "No. The raanhattant any." Jimmy's mother was giving him a sound scolding about his unwashed neck. "You know you haven't washed your neck," said his mother. "Gee whiz!" said Johnny, a note of desperation creeping into his voice, "ain't I going to wear a collar?" While making a visit to New York, a man unmistakably of country origin, was knocked down in the street by an automobile. A crowd instantly snrrounded him with condolence and questions. "Are you hurt, my friend?" kindly asked a gentleman, who was the first among the rescuers, as he helped the s-tranger to his feet and brushed the mud and dust from his clothes. "Well." came the cautious .reply of one evidently given to noncommittal brevity of speech, "it ain't done me no good."

The man most prominently mentioned now for the post of secretary of the treasury in Harding's cabinet is Andrew W. Mellon, Pittsburg banker

and railroad man. The belief tbat Mellon is slated for a portfolio is str ength ened by the fact that he recently resigned as director of the Pennsylvania railroad. Andrew William Mellon was born in Pittsburg, Pa., in 1852. He was the son of the late Judge Thomas Mellon. In 1900 Mel

lon married Miss Nora McMullen. He was associated with the late Henry C. Frick in a number of coal, coke and iron enterprises. He holds official positions in a large number of Pennsylvania banks. Mellon was at one time a trustee of the Carnegie institute. He also founded the town of Donora, Pa. It is here that he established great steel mills.
