Must Have Suitable
Memorial
Probably because there is no one
who feels like taking the lead in
the wuy of a suggestion no proposal
huvo yet been made in the wuy of
providing a suitublo memorial for the
boys of Union county who have given
their lives in the war. There are pcr
hiips aa many bb twenty who have
lost thvir lives in tho service- and the
dismal part of it all is that the list
mxy still bo further incrc'uacd when
the casualty' reports have been com
pleted. There is no way Unit the debt can
"be fully paid, no matter what we do.
We all know that, liut it is not like
.Union county people to fail to follow
the forms, in such' matters as are
adopUd by other localities.
Tha& they deserve a meniuriul that
ill I as nearly in keeping with the
;hi(h place of honor which they 'hold
in- the memories of the homo people
ii;d friends, is also a truth that does
not need to Iw told.
Peihps it Is just as "well at present
' to leave the matter undecided until n
little later. Hut beford lonj:, it will

of the severely wounded soldiers who
u ro being cured for in the great army
hospital at Washington, D.-C. Many
of these men were so seriously crip
pled in tho fighting overseas that
they will be unuble, .after their hoB-
pitul days have ended, to take up
their old occupations. None of them
will ever bo suited for work requir-
ii.g hcuvy physical, effort Physically,
they are clussed with the wreckage
of wur. ' But mentally and temper-
mentally, aa can bo seen from their
slogan, they aro far from- belonging
to the derelict class..'
There is a spirit abroad with re
gard to the wounded men totally dif
ferent from the spirit that has pre
vailed at tho close of other wars,
Then the doctrino was: "These men
huvo been put out of commission in
tho service of their country. There
fore the country should take care of
them tho rest of their days."
As is too well known, this idea led
to demoralization. A writer in Harp
er's Muguzine tells of an army of
ficer who had commanded a com
pany in tho Spanish-American war,
and remembered that at the end of
that war "DO per cent of my company
were no good afterward, spoiled by
graft and 'handouts'." And he was
speaking of sound men. In tho case
of tho cripples tho process of demor
alization has been even more noticeable
This time tho soldiors themselves
will not stand for pauperizing. They
refuse to degenerate into supine pen
sioners, trading on their service rec
ords. They want no "soft snape," but
only n chance to start fresh, along
new lilies if necessary, but on a self
respecting and self-supporting basis.

terms of eloquence, of which the fol

"Mr. President,- the Ftench people .
had a passionate desire to offer
thankl, in your person, to the great I
republic of which you are the chiof,
for the invaluable assistance' which
has been given spontaneously during
this war, to the defenders of. right
ar.i'liberty.
"Even before America had re
solved to intervene in the struggle,
gh had shown to the wounded and
widows and orphans of France a ao
llcltuale and a generosity, tho -memory.
of which will always be enshrined in
our hearts. .
."The liberality of your Red Cross;
the countless gifts of your fellow citi
zens; the inspiring initiative of the
American women anticipating your
military and navul action, showed
the world to which side' your sympa
thies were inclined.
"And, on tho day when you flunp
yourselves into the battle with what
desperation your great people and
yourself prepared for united success.
"Some months ago you cubled me
that the United States would send
over increasing forces until the day
should be reached on which the 'al

enemy under an overwhelming flow
of new divisions. And, in effect for
htore than a yenr, a stcudy strenm of
youth and energy has been pouring
OUt upon the shores of France.
"No sooner had they landed than
your gallant battalions, fired by their
chief, General Pershing", flung them
selves into combat with such a manly
contempt for danger, such a smiling
disregard of denth, thnt our longer
experience of this terrible wur often
moved us to counsel prudence.
"They brought with them, in ar
