In the name of “patriotism." of course But are we not told that the “profession** of pa triotism is the last resort of the scoundrel? Oh! I know well enough the claims of these pirates—that the boys are free to buy or not buy, and that the bonds are good investments. Do you call a man free to buy, or re fuse to buy, who is made to feel like a hero if he buys, and like a dog if he doesn’t buy. Well that’s the sort of freedom the soldier boys have. And while a U. S. Government bond is the best security in the world for the man or woman WHO HAS MONEY TO IN VEST, nothing in that line is good, for our soldier boys thht takes away from them any part of the measly 30- .dollars-a-month they get for serving “‘-de Sam.” tta y 03 in article, of which the above is a aim appeared in last week’s issue of tiexd Barnwell Sentinel, under the Blank Cartridges Fired at Ran- Being rather “off-color” it has tional yj considerable adverse criti- # VhiIe The People does not for agalnV ut€ < J ueation the kyalty of the tmfn*; iot that of the publishers of live Btinel, we believe that a wrong •J* taken of the matter and nya t l* n * u ** # Mltctod to convey ptf^c^lrr's opinion wa* unfortunate. For Bo Bo world today. In w* know of no guard the “pitUnco** than by ing it in Liberty Benda, admittedly the soundest security in the world to day. In the third place, we fail to see how the bond salesmen are “robbing” the soldiers and sailopi-when they per suade them to INVEST a part of their pay in the soundest security in the world today. These bond salesmen, who are patriotically and gratuitious- ly contributing their, services to the government, are termed “pirates” and we are told that the men who fail to buy are made to feel like dogs. The argument of “Just Us” is that “the measly 30-dollars-a- month they get for serving Uncle Sam” should be “cheer-money, to spend on any sort of foolishness,” etc. We would not for a minute think of taking one jot or tittle from the cheer of the boys in the service and we fee* that the sacri fices they will be called upon to make cannot be paid for in dollars and cents. We believe that it is right and proper to do everything that we can to make their lot lighter and brighter, but— If thrift is good for the civilian, why isn’t it good for the soldier? Many men whose incomes are no more than that of the soldiers and Bailors, taking everything into cona(deration, are investing in Liberty Bond* and Thrift Stamp* and their government it encouraging them to do it If the government did not think it wise to encourage thrift amoni would it not have barred these called “piratea” from Be camps?
