What they do most conspicuously is generally what matters least. ! How many public men have you seen in the flesh? Two? Six? A dozen? What was each of them doing at the time- Riding in a parade, or laying a cornerstone? And when is a nian more useless than when parading or cornerstoning? ‘As a rule we in Bemidji don’t see our public men at all, but we hear them splash. We read about their noteworthy activities. A statesman climbs into the spotlight when he puts through a peice of legislation, and a general when he wins a battle. At the moment of success we notice them, but the real spade-work escapes us. It has already been done. When the Wright brothers became famous their import- ance ended. They were unnecessary. They were important - when no one had heard of them!iexcept their fellow townsmen . who laughed at them for trying to make a bird out of a gas engine. Struggling obscurely against prejudice was their im- -portant work. After recognition came any one could carry it on. - A picture of an insificant bookkeeper at his desk would not be very different from a picture of General Pershing toiling through reams of typewritten records concerning transporta- tion and commissariat. After subtracting everything that can possibly be entrusted to subordinates, try to estimate how much- he has to do. A bronze statue of him accomplishing the prosaic routine work that culminated in his tremendous victories would be a faithful likeness, but it wouldn’t be worth looking at as a work of art. s ; ; We have grown so familar with his name that we take him for granted, and fail to appreciate the magnitude of our debt to him. On the fruits of hislabor depended Europe's esti- mate of America, and he has had countless opportunities of bungling. Lack of imagination has spared us the tension of suspense, but now that the crises is past we should draw. a breath of relief and thank Heaven that Pershing had the job. —_— THE LIBERTY LOAN. {2 A In the first week of September.a workingman entered the bond department of one of Chicago’s largest banks. He asked for the last list published, and picked out a six per cent issue. He then asked one of the salesmen for a quotation, and received a sad sweet smile in reply. The bonds had all been sold. His lamentations melted the salesman’s heart. “T'll try and get some for you on the market,” he promised, and adroitly extricated himself from the customer’s embrace. The issue had been for $60,000,000 and the impoverished dwellers in this war-wasted land had gobbled it like ice-cream. Since those of us don’t fight must work—whether we like it or not—we naturally have money—whether we like it or not, and sound concerns that want $60,000,000 at 6 per cent can soon get it. “Those of us who don't fight.” fourth loan appeal on behalf of those who do? munition shop hand at ten dollars a day do for his khaki clad brother at thirty dollars a month? We are not all high priced workmen, but there are few of us who cannot buy a bond by installments. We boast that American soldiers are the best fed and the best treated in the world. We shall be eternally disgraced if we fall below that standard; we are the richest nation.. For those who daily risk mutilation, torturing wounds and death no sacrifice that we make can discharge the full measure of our obligation.
