WELCOMING OUR BOYS HOME
That was a soul-inspiring song the
it Iks used to sing in the Civil war
days in this country!
It was a song of joy and of vigor
and of determination, albeit some
what convivial and bibulous, but it
expressed in its words the spirit of
the times.
Alaska should be singing a new
: 1 ng today. "When Our Hoys Come
Home from France."
For therein lies Alaska's great hope
ill lejuvenation.
K\en if you can't remember the
l. i is. not having been there to wit
ness them, you must have heard your
mother tell how when the boys came
marching home the whole countryside
rose up to greet them with songs of
gladness and of praise and thanksgiv
ing How the girls cast flowers at
their feet, garlands about their necks
ui.d softer arms.
But you remember how each fellow
carried In his pocket not only his hon
orable discharge, but his land grant as
well his soldier's homestead right to
ill's acres of public land, without
money, without price, without condi
tions of any sort what in Italy would
he called a "princely domain."
Under the impetus given to it by
si eh generosity the tidal wave of im
nii"ration wept over the West a,id
the territories then settled have he
roine tin great states of today.
Armed with the “rights," Impelled
by courage and love, of adventure
gained in Iheir war-lime experiences,
these breve fellows, who probably
never would have left the parental
homestead except for war, became tile
pioneers of the great West, the doers
•it great deeds in the conquest of na
ture. Tin y swarmed the hills and val
leys. 'be forests and the plains and
before tlmi conquering host Nature
gave vs' They built cities, reared
treat fa lories, open'd the mines.
Idled th" fo-csts. and filled the land
vitli eh,11rein . schools and children.
Will our national government be
1-: ■■ i'li our boys eoming home
!
f. ;:i:i France? Never think of It. And
where will these adventurous and ven
turesome ones find outlet for their
superabundant spirits? Where will
they find opportunity for their broad- i
ened minds and broadened desires and
greater needs to expan and grow and
b“ fulfilled? Where?
