ARMISTICE DAY OBSERVANCE
AND MEANING
The ciwilized world observes this
day-—stands with bowed uncovered
head in the presence of its meaning, |
very many communities in our nwn!

National Guard hag a part, the Boy |

join in thanksgiving and devotion, !
Why all this ado on ancther holiday?
Why such extent of this ulnw.rvrmcc‘.’i
There is a reason—sufficient reason '
.or it, Eight years ago today .in lhoi
arly hours of the day. the nations
of the world were at war--each' at
he other's throat in grapple of death,
No higher purpose obsessed the souls
of stiuggling millions than to kill and |
destroy, Self-preservation by auyl
nedns at any cost was the iirst law !
of natigns. No constructive measure |
wvas considered except ag it might at
ford a new and more horrible instru-:
ment of death-dealing and destruction, |
I'he arts and sciences of civilization |
were as far as possible subverted to|
uses incident to the general holo-|
cause of wgr, Might is right, let him |
survive lh?t can, was the challenge |
hurled by shot and shell at every|
champion of the fundamentals of the
world's civilization. We uurselvesi
were included in that challenge.
Kight years ago, at a later hour of |
this same day, a truce was dec!ared'
hetween the world’s exhausted war
ting forces. Earth anq sea and sky !
ceased hurling their missels of death !
und destruction. No flash of nrtill-i
try was to be seen, no boom of can-!
non heard at that hour. The smoke
clouds. lifted and once more the hless
e sunshine filtered through' 'to 'a!
world at peace. And that day friend |
and foe joined in a paean of victory
and ‘thanksgiving for that hour of
peace. . Millions of our own hoys were

that peace and had won.
We celebrate that Armistice Day.
There is reason for it. Seven millions

‘millions more had been doomed to

day eight years ago. They Kknew
why., They fought for the preserva
tion and perpetuity of principles that
are basie to the world’s civilization
and for the permanency of the insti
tutions of civilization. The same prin
ciples in defense of which rifles in
the hands of cur fore-fathers rattled
on the fields of the Revolution; the
game principles iu defense of which
cannon roaied at Sumter; it was in
defer.se of these game principles that

thig nration’s young manhood-—mann
ed the guns that hurled defiance at
the Huns in Argonne Forest, at Chat

Shall we forget? 1 charge that we
have too nearly forgotten. The after
math of those years of world war's
intonge trairdng in the purpose and
effort to kill and destroy is being
exvressed today in wave after wave
of crime against’ the very principles
for which our boys fought. An army
of officers are busy now hunting out
ang biinging to account young men
who were tranied in that war—time
to have no higher zim than to kill
und destroy. We are reaping after
the kind of war-time sowing. Shall
we exercise ourselves in pursnit of
violators of right principles in forget
fulness of these others who stood for
right principles against the criminals
of all the world?
Is observance of Armistice Day a
matter of mere sentiment? It is not.
If cur social welfare is menaced to
day, and it is; if our cconomic con
dition is undesirable, and it is; if
our husiness and political affairs are
more or less chaotie, and they are;
shal] we in the face of theze condi
tions forget the debt of gratitude we
own to those who, fought to protect
our homes, to establish us on the
foundations of righteonsnass?

WHAT PRICE ROADS
Calhoun Times: A
Rome built the finest roads in
history. The Roman roads are, some
of them, still in existence and use,
after 2,000 years. But there has
teen, in the past quarter of a cen
tury, a greater revival of interest
in highway construction than has
oceurred since the Appian way was
built. ‘
It is interesting to contrast tie
methods and the motives of the
Romans in their highway activity
with the methods and motives of the
highway construction of today.
Rome built her roads in order. to
hold her empire together—by foree,
She built roads in order that she
might move large bodies of troops
quickly and effectively to points
where insurrection from within, or
invas'on from without, was threat
ened.
The Americans have much the
same idea in building the roads
which cover our country today. The
modern roads are intended to ce
ment a nation and an empire—but
not by the use of force.
The Americans realize that fa
nfiliarity with the various sections
of the country, results in under
standing, appreciation and the es
tablishment of unity. Probably
troops wjll never move over the
Victory highway, which strgtr',hcs
from coast to coast in order to sub
duc an uprising within the country.
But the fellowship of the man in
New York city ahd the man in Oak
land_ or San Francisco, will =be
strengthened and the nation as a
whole kn't closer- together because
from the Atlantic ccast and the Pa
cific coast ‘“the twain have met”
and have learned to know and like
cach other. Without good roafls this
