(1 vUiseUee te the world ahowld be so
treeted' Th* (.ovemmevtt should do
everything la its power to safeguard
the pittance tl pays our soldier and
aailor boys instead of paying this pit
tance with one Kami while allowing
the bond salesmen to rob the boys
with the other hand. 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

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?
Why should thrift be preached to
