War Wants The Best
f It is a faithful saying that evei
'death likes a shining mark." It'
lamentable how our country is be
ing scrapped of its very best younj
men to enlist hi the Army to figh
which mejuis slaughter if war con
tinues. When I say best men,
mean from a physical, intellectua
and moral viewpoint Of course thi
is as it should be; but it is a pit;
for sudh men to be called firsl
There is a good for nothing, shift
less and diseased, as veil as sorr
" sort left behind. It appears tha
they should be called first, an
placed in front of the battle. Sa
killed by the thousands it woul
srmply be a matter of good ric
dance to the world. Being-*left e
home they arej rio more than a
affliction upon humanity. They ar
wife- beaters, children?deserter:
whiskey drinkers work shirkers an
everything else than what a ma
should be. It's awful to see th
very best specimen of humanit
drafted lor war; among whom ai
ry????utir yoimg~men\ \vhen,~t:h? worst
left behind. Let us pray that --pt
talented sons may be preserve
from the destruction of war. ar
this; trifling element left here i
home iiniy be reformed.
