THE CROAKERS.
Croakers who are disgruntled
at the finaeial cost of civiliza
tion’s victory over Prussianism
would do well to reflect what the
cost would have been had events
turned out contrarywise. We
might have won on a good deal
less, but then suppose we had
lost!
There was waste be it admitted;
there was shortsightedness here,
bungling there, and divers sorts
of money-losing inefleiency. Nev
ertheless, we are now dictating
the pence terms, instead of desper
ately figuring how to pay indem
nity to the Hohenzollerns. That
should be some consolation to the
croakers. As tlie Anderson, (S.
C.) Mail cogently puts it: “If a
few dollars were needlessly spent,
what of it? After tiie fire is out
and the factory has been saved,
it’s easy to fret about the quan
tity of water used and the splash
es on the office rug.”
America’s human losses in the
war, including deaths in action
and from disease, numbered ap
proximately seventy-two thou
sand lives. Mow many of those
youths, do you imagine, return
ed their sacrifice in the trms of
dollars and cents, or paid their
heroic debt with a miserly
grudge? The rank and file of
them assuredly could have said in
their hearts with Nathan Hale,
“My only regie! is that 1 have but
one life to give my country.”
How petty and truly pitable in
contrast are the croaks of them
who, having all the priceless ben
efits which those sacrifices made
secure, yet essay to write the epic
of the war on the keys of a cash
register.
Wliy was it that American loss
es numbered approximately seven
two thousand men, whilst those
of Britain ran high into the hun
dreds of thousands, and those of
France into millions? It was be
cause we had a few months of ex
tensive fighting, whilst our Allies
had four years of it. But suppose
America’s pr eparations and ex
penditures had been on a smaller
scale than they were. Suppose
the Government had thought
more of saving money than of
producing guns and munitions
and ships and airplanes and all
the other mountainous array of
material and equipment. Suppose
that instead of speeding two mill
ion soldiers to the front, without
hesitating at the cost, the Govern
ment had gingerly figured on the
minimum force that would sufiee
to break the llindenburg line,
and had paused to haggle over ev
ery contract which entered into
this herculean perfomance. Who
will say that if these penurious
tactics had prevailed, the war
would have ended last November
leaving us with a life loss of only
seventy-two thousand? Who will
say that it would not still be in
progress, with an ever-lengthen
ing list of casualties, an ever-wid
ening toll of broken hearts. It
was gigantic expenditures that en
abled America to put her forces
so swiftly and so decisively in the
field; and, though there was many
a wasted dollar, there is also a
many spared life, in consequence.
Let us think of these things
when the croaker begins a lamen
tation from his little puddle of
self-interest. Let us think of
them when the Victory Loan cam
paign begins, and we are called
upon to do our part once more in
sustaining the Government’s
credits, wherewith the war for civ
ilization was won.—Atlanta Jour

A hoy who calls his mother the
“old woman,” or his father “the
governor,” is building upon the
sand. Do you w ant to he a power
among men, to he a leader? Learn
to control your temper, to master
yourself. A hoy who does not
control his tongue and his temper
will never become a master of
men. Do not intimate the vices
of fast young men, thinking it w ill
