WHAT HEROES BRING BACK.
Forgotten already, or lighting our
way luii dimly, are the principles lor
which Americans fought and nobly
died on many battlefields of France.
Kverywhere men are asking: j
What of the future*?' And they i
mean, what?
They desire* to know what course
trade will take. Will war prosperity
endure long into tin* days of peace?
Will capital and labor engage in con
flict or will they la* able to pat h up
an entente cordial** or a modus \i
vendi so that each side* may retain
the* benefits which have conic to it
through the chance of war?
Hut soon j.ihmmmmi men will return
to us and their memory will wear a
keener edge than ours. They have
not forgotten; they will not for;;.-!.'
And much of tin* future is in their
hands
They ill not forget that America
iought :or ideals and not tor trade,1
for principle: and not for land, for
libe rty and justice* and not for gold
The v have* fought for a riches that
neither the ore of the* mine* nor the*
product ot the factory can buy And
when they ask “What of the future?
they mean something more and some* 1
thing better than we mean who re
mained at home and thought in te rms j
*>f dollars e ven though we gave ot 1
the >• dollars that our ideals might [
triumph and that tin* hand of Ameri
can me re > and b**nevoh*n< *• might not j
1m* stayed.
True , it is time t<> think of trade, I
dome stic and foreign, and we* must ,
worry and perplex ourselves about
our economic condition, but we must
not lose sight of the* ideals that Im
pelled us te) join m the* struggle of
thi* nation. Wlion Lincoln address
ed this fellow ( itizens on tin* battle
field of (lettysburK In* was solemnly
com emed about the future* of demo
it.1 tii government. Would a govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people perish or would it en
dure." lie had faith that it would en
dure. for he hud seen the dawn of vic
tory and the hand of Providence guid
ing tie nation hack to unity and
strength And yet. deep in his soul,
wer> misgiving; Would his country
men remain uncorrupted in the faith
ot tin fathers? Would they always
l.e willing to light and to die for
ideals rather than for conquest and ;
plunder?
In the retrospect we are inspired!
y the thought that his hopes rather L
than his doubts were realized. We
la.vi seen \meriean soldiers, imer- i
tangly guided by the spirit of 'Tti and i
ill. irite in the faith of our fore-li
fathers in 'PS and IP1S The same
love of justice and liberty that gave
power to the embattled farmers at
Lexington and steeled the hand even
ill brother against brother In the war
of the states thrilled in the souls of
our warriors who went to Franco.
The same magnanimity controls them
whether they are defenders in France
or invaders in Germany.
And when they come back they will
come with hearts purified by fire and
souls ennobled by suffering, conflict
and comradeship. Their point of
view, whatever It may be, will be
above the level of dollars.
We wait anxiously to find whnt
may be the trend of their thoughts.
Will they come back in a critical
spirit to question all instltulons or
will they return to their accustomed
walks of life with tho same conser
vatism that imbued the heroes of the
Glvil war?
The fate of the nation rests upon
the answer which the future shall
give to theae questions. But already
we have seen hints of what the an
swer will be.
On the streets of Nsw York, not
long ago, the red banner of anarch;
was raised by radicals. Soldier?
home from France, believing tha
this was a demonstration in favor o
the Russian Bolshevik!, attacked am
rooted the paraders.
Onr soldiers apparently are not. 1
favor of the forces of destruction
They have seen too much of that ti
France. And when the Rods tol
them that the annihilation of instltc
(ions must precede proper reeonstrm
lion the appeal finds them, not colt
but hotly antagonistic. The annihile
Con of so much wealth in Frnnee
the destruction of farms, homos, far
torles and machinery—revealed n
them tin1 horor of trying to bulb
from chaos. What the centuries havi
bequeathed or good in materia
wealth or institutions they would re
tain.
Moreover, they have witnessed tie
failure of radicalism in Russia. "Tie
dictatorship of the proletariat" doe
not appeal to them. It is alien t<
American ideals, class leglslutioi
and class rule have always ben oh
noxious to Americans. They art- at
hostile to proletarian despotism as t<
the depot ism of czars.
But. as of old. Americans, whethei
they fought in France or helped a
home, will remain loyal to the eon
tral idea of their government. Tin
equality, liberty and justice they wil
demand for themselves and for al
the world will lie the equality, tin
liberty and justice of equal oppor
utility Class rule of any kind they
''ill abhor and combat as they have
ever abhorred and lombatted legisla
lion having lor its object a dictator
' hip by any class.
W' may be sure that, some such
thoughts as these are surging in the
minds of at least the leaders among
tin' returning soldiers. They may not
havt> analyized and philosophized, hut
they know with a lair discernment
what they want They want neither
the radicalism of the Reds, nor the
ultra conservatism of the unprogres
sive They look forward, as do all
ot ns. to sweeping changes, but they
ex peel, as we expect, that the new
order shall be built upon what is best
III the old.
And through the warp and woof of
their aspirations we may he sure runs
til,, tine gold Ot ., lofty idealism.

What Is the matter with getting up
t Coast to Fairbanks derby and set
tle the question of which is the most
feasible route to the interior? Cor
lova, Valdez and Anchorage could all
■ompei,. and we would remove the
(peed limit of live miles per hour
from the government railroad so as
lot to handicap it too severely. Such
i contest would arouse a great deal
if interest and would provide consld
■rable sport these long winter days.
