What Memorial for our Soldiers?
' VVhat is -going' to be our form of me
morial for the soldiers in this war? In
the main it has got to be in the kind
of lives wo lead. They have given the
flower of their life, looking to us for the
fulfillment which will, never come unless
we embody it.
It seems that the best thing we can
do in* the- way ?>f a visible, symbol of
our consecration will be something that
shall express the ideal of human ser*
rice for ;w|ik*h they died. The soldiers'
monument through which we strove to
honor Un*' soldiers of our last great war
are better than nothing, unsuccessful as
most of them are from an urtistio point
of vie,w ? monuments to * the unknown
god of beauty as well as to tha spirit
of the men who gave their lives for
freedom ? but cannot we find something
more appropriate?
Would not a community building of.
some kind, which should serve as a cen
ter of community service and expression
Ito a fitting memorial of the soldiers in
this present war? it in a war for
democracy and as the- American City
magazine has said, democracy should
have a home.
The building in a small town might
he the town hall itself or an adjunct
to it, "Of course we cannot all suddenly
build new town halls, but we could, when
the occasion comes for rebuilding or
through supplementing what we already
have, provide a place in each smaller
community, and several places in the
larger ones, where people can come tod
?, pether for all sorts of public purposes,
community songs, dances, concerts, lec
tures, public service by groups of citi
zens such as we have seen in working
for the Red Cross. In large cities like
our own these buildings might be the
larger of the new school houses in each
district.
Such n memorial would fitly commem
orate our t^oldiers by serving as an in
strument for the continuance of that
enhanced spirit of public service which
has .been to u? the one great compen
sating gift of the war.

We pay cash for railway fares and
freights, for street car fares, for theatre
tickets, for |K>stage .stamps, for express
charges and many big corporation* are
rapidly going? a stiictly hmda.
This is an opportune time t-> adopt the
"cash over the counter" basis, and the
Hooner the better for vis all.

t ? ??ml In comntrciil circle* U
rapidly leading to a caah bails is every
line of commercial punmlt*. The war
has demonstrated the neceitaity of aucb
a system and now that It ii being In*
t reduced In practically all line*, it 1* not
Relieved that the old-time ? u <lit system
will fftp return In this aection of the
?.mntry.
The Atlanta Chamber of i'<om merer ban
recently tatai) up the matter with the
WinrhH men of Atlanta, and the sug
nation ban struck a popular chord in
tbut city. lion. Fuller K. Callaway, |
<>ue of the state's moat auoceavful busi
ness men, In speaking before the mem
bers of the chamber of commerce in
A i h.uta, said in part;
"Those who are expecting to return
to the old tim<> conditions and mcthoda
after the war are nursing a dangerous
illusion an the operation* of business will
never l?' UH they were again.
"Under the imperative necessity, we
have been made over, and it is a differ
ent nation? a far more forcefu) and
efficient people ? which today considers
with satisfaction' the beginning of the
end of the mighty' struggle for the prea
ervation of liberties.
"I will not atteiupt a discussion of'
all tin- changes and ramifications brought
about by the great world war. I will
only refer to one vital change which
it has made iu u? an a people. It Is
that we have been made a great deal
more efficient. \Yc bftvo come to know
the sinfulness of waste of eithet time
or material*. We have already thrown
into the di Board mauy antiquated, cum
bersome and wasteful methods which
impeded our progreas like barnacle* on
a ship."
The noundneHH of the position of Mr.
Callnway will be recognized by every
safe and conservative business tnan as
being timely nnd wise. Times hare
changed and we may expect new con
dltiona and new system* In the opera
tion of our great corporations as well
as- with the smaller boainesH concern*.
It is of much importance to a small
business as it in to the largest to oper
ate on a cash basis. Everyone would
be better for it, and if lived up to by
the merchants, both consumer ami the
merchant would be better -for it. Cash
basis on everything will prove a bletisinic
to the I'ountry, nnd will be the most
important agency for teaching economy.
People will buy less, but what they do
buy will -be paid for and the merchant
will either have the money for his goods
or else be will have bin stock to rep
resent his investment. Time-worn sys
tems and customs must !><? relegate-1 nnd
new and- modern systems adopted in this
country If we are to be prosperous and
independent in our manner of living and
conducting our business affairs. The
sooner our people .realize its im|>ortancc.
the better we will be for it. --Athens

the following from the Sentinel of
Friend, Neb.:
"A newspaper must not be expected
t<> light personal battles for subscribers,
lis influence must be used for t ho poo'
pie a? a whole. Every week some of
our friends ask us to 'make somebody
do something'. Of course we feel com
plimented when we hear that a subscrib
er feels that tin* paper is an important
factor in the community. Iiut as to
making anybody tip things you have got
this w rong idea, brother. If we were to
take every complaint that comes to our
nulieu editing tin* K*-ntfnW would be
too warm a job for lis. Here are ?.?nVe
of the lute tjficstions: 'We wish jou
Would go after the stores because they
j stay open so late Saturday night. v 'We
wish you would go after the city coun
cil because the streets nr<i riot sprinkled
more frequently.' 'Why don't you say
something about the people who run
their cars in the city with the cut-out
open'? 'Why isn't the speed ordinance
enforced?' Why don't you expose poker
games?' 'Why do nearby towns pay
more for grain than Friend?' 'Why don't
Ko-and-sn go to war?' Why, we could
do on until this column is full. All
these are mentioned kindly in an effort
to side-track some of them. Of course
we know that many of them are asked
In a joking manner but many people
an- 111 earnest and become angry when
tb<^ papers appear without a word "aid
