U. S. COAST GUARD REFLECTS
To get encouragement about the state of the world
these days, you have to go to the humble rather than
to the great. It is the unsung hero of everyday life who
perouades us that the race may not be heading for the
darkness of the pit, after all.
There died in a New Yorw suburb the other day
Captain John Penny, a veteran mariner 81 year of age,
who had put in 42 years as a life saver in the Coast
Guard. The papers took note of his death by reviewing
his career and recalling some of the more sensational
rescues in which he had taken part.
It wan’t an extraordinary tale; the annals of the
Coast Guard could duplicate it a hundred times, prob
ably, for shipwrecks, heroism, and devotion to duty are
part of the day’s work in that outfit, And yet it was
well worth reading and pondering about, for—like all
Coast Guard stories—it hints groadly that the human
race can behave pretty nobly when ever anyone in au
thority thinks to ask it to do so.
The Coast Guard is a police organization, in the
broadest sense of the word. That is, it exists not mere
ly to enforce the law, but to preserve order, to lend a
hand where a hand is needed, and to see to it that help
is available at all times and places.
If you are at sea in a small fishing boat and a hurri
cane unbeknownst to you is coming your way, the Coast
Guard will hunt you out and warn you. If you drift
away from shore in a rowboat and night is coming on,
the Coast Guard will go and get you. If you are in a
steamer whose engines break down, a Coast Guard cut
ter will come along and give you a tow. If your ship
runs on the rocks, the Coast Guard boys will be there
to save your life—at the loss of some of their own lives,
as often as not.
1 his sort of thing is mirrowed in the account of Cap
ttain Penny’s life, as it is in every biography of a mem
ber of that organization; apd it is worth while to reflect
on what it all signifies.
The Coast Guard does not exist to make a profit for
somebody. It does not give the government which
supports it any commercial advantage. It is not prim
arily a fighting force—though, When occasion demands,
it can fight with the best of them.
Its existence simply reflects the race’s instinct for
order, for mutual help, for cooperative action to make
life safer and easier. Its hired hands, who get neither
glory nor riches, cheerfully accept the most shocking
risks with a devotion to duty not exceeded anywhere.
And we, the taxpayers, gladly pay for the maintenance
of the whole business.
Isn’t all this rather heartening? Individuals—such
as the innumerable Captain Pennys—can be heroes
without the incentive of war; they can do hard jobs
well without the incentive of wealth; they can be sup
ported by a simple appeal to their countrymen’s gener
osity and good sense.
If we could live up to the Coast Guard we might
have a pretty decent sort of world.
As everyone appears to have won the Flint strike,
maybe Messrs. Sloan and Lewis are the boys to take
over the Spanish trouble and make it a paying propo
sition.—Detroit News.

MR. MERCHANT:
Do you know that enough business is going
out of town every month to support at least one
more store here, even larger than any doing busi
ness here today.
Every mail brings in direct mail advertising
that is taking YOUR Business away from YOUR
Nome—You can hold most of that business here
by telling: the public what you have to offer.
And the best way to tell them is through the
adverising columns of THE NUGGET.
Call our Advertising Manager and he wiU be
of assistance to you in preparing your advertising
copy if you so desire.
