“More Than A Newspaper, A Community Institution”
Horse- Trading
“The tumult and the shouting dies,” and no longer
are politicians extending the glad hand of fellowship or
kissing reluctant babies.
The election is over, and the carnival has folded its
tents.
Favorite programs go on the air, uncluttered by
protestations of purity of purpose, agin sin, waving the
banner for home and mother, casting aspersions upon the
good faith of the opposition, promising, promising prom-
ising.
The mailboxes have ceased to disgorge long white
~ envelopes containing election material which nobobdy
bothers to read. ]
The election is over. |
If your man won, you are pinning a spall and rapidly
fading rose upon yourself. You voted for him.
If your man lost, you expected it anyhow, and you
experience a small and fleeting moment lof regret.
At least, you voted for him.
Or did you?

Was it too much trouble to go to the polls?
The promises . . . . well, politics has been ‘described
as the “Art of the Possible.”
Any man you elected will be obliged to make some
compromises, because politics, in its base essentials, is
horse-trading.

Clubs seem to be waiting for the Township to start it.”

Armistice Day, now called Veterans Day, is tomorrow, November
11. People old enough to have experienced the first Armistice Day
will remember it as long as they live, as people of this generation
vividly remember Pearl Harbor and D-Day. <
It was a wild day, with exuberant drivers clanging through the
streets, wash-boilers attached to the rear axle, whistles blowing,
bells sounding. That day brought a universal response. The War
to End Wars was over.
Over the years the day has become denatured. The parades
are scheduled at convenient times instead of on the day of memory
itself. Few people honor that moment of silent prayer and intro-
spection at 11 a.m. on November 11, a tribute to the sudden silence
of the guns. . *
Nobody knows how many men gave up their lives in those last™
brief moments before 11 o'clock. Nobody. knows how many men
could have been saved to return to their homes if the Powers had
decreed that hostilities should cease at once, the instant the sur-
render became official.
Perhaps saving of face is of more importance than the saving of
lives. Who can tell ?
But to the parents whose sons died in that last and final burst
of shells over the Western Front, the answer is. clear.
There was a rumor of Armistice the day before the actual
Armistice went into effect. Twenty-four hours of bloodshed followed:
the rumor. wx
How many died ? u
White crosses on the battlefields for those whose parents de-
creed that they should rest on the foreign soil which they died in
defending.
Flags on the graves of those who were brought home for burial
A bit of flippant comment the other day appeared in a news
media: “The First World War was boot-training for the Second War.”
Is any war a boot-camp for another ?
Are the men who died of typhoid fever or yellow-jack in the
Spanish American War any the less dead because it was a elrlit
small engagement compared with a global holocaust? Yom!
The men who froze in Korea, pushed back relentlessly from the
Parallel, those who died and those who were grotesquely wounded ?
The men who are fighting in South Vietnam ?
Is any war a boot-camp ?
For the boy who dies and for the family of the boy who dicag
it is one hundred percent war.
Sherman said it: “War is Hell.”
We send our boys when our nation calls for them. We give
them to their country.
We have instilled into them since childhood that men are brave,
that they hold up their heads and fight against overwhelming odds.
We would not wish to hold them back, for men must be strong,
and if they do not show strength, they are less than men.
This is'a man’s world.
x ¥ ¥ :
In Flanders Field
In Flanders Field the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place,
And in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days ago we lived,
Felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved.
And now we lie
In Flanders Field.
Take up our quarrel with the foe.
To you, from failing hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Field.
Editorial note: the most poignant bit of poetry to
come out of World War I, written by John McCrea, who
shortly after was killed in action.

The Grass

And pile them high at Ypress and Verdun.
Shovel them under and let me work.

What place is this?
Where are we now?
I am the grass.
