~sen their bodies fail and die?"
ter tells again the story as
related in the Bible of the res-
Urrection of Jesus• That record
"G. I. BILL OF EIGHTS"
The American Legion's omni-i
bus bill for rehabilitation of this
war's veterans is certainly pre-
ferable to the usual pension or
bonus plans. In stressing educa-
tion and employment aids for
discharged soldiers and sailors,
it is rightly seeking to help them
help themselves. That is a much
healthier approach than the
politically prostituted sentimen-
talism which has in the past tool
often encouraged any man who
had worn a uniform to become
more or less dependent on a pa-
ternalistic government, while
doing relatively little for those
who had sacrificed most.
The fact that the Senate pass-
ed within an hour by 49 to 0 a
measure which is expected to
cost at least $3,500,000000 indi-
cates that Congress is anxious to
do "the right thing" by the sol-
diers. That of course is every-
one's desire. Indeed, it is going
to take great courage for any
politician even to ask for care-
ful examination of veterans'
legislation in face of wartime
feeling and the prospect that
the veterans may be the largest]
postwar voting bloc. ]
But careful examination isl
just what is needed. Even thist
bill tends to set the veterans off1
as a specially privileged class of
citizens. And the House has
just rushed through the Starnes
bill which gives veterans a de-
gree of preference for govern-
ment jobs which can wreck the
Civil Service. The "G. I. Bill of
Rights" has been spoken of as
a~lrms the faith of Christians
that as their leader rose from a measure to make bonuses and
the tomb, so his faithful fol- pensions unnecessary. But there

PRECIOUS SCHOOL DAYS
How far do the present oppor-
tunities to earn money in indus-
try and business, or the general
absorption of young people in
the war situation, affect the
work done in schools?
If young students quit at too
early a date so as to earn mon-
ey, they may be hampering their
ability to get the education they
will .need after the war. That
,will be a time when the world
will want intelligence as never
before. A youngster who con-
templates depriving himself of
needed schooling without good
reason should consider such a
step very carefully.
Some of the older boys and
girls may beso badly needed in
war production work or farming
that they are justified in quit-
ting. They would better take
the advice of the teachers and
school authorities before taking
such a step.
Are some of the older boys so
absorbed in thinking about the
war and their plans for their
own military service that it in-
terferes with their study? Many
are keen to get into the war, and
if this interferes with anyone's
enthusiasm and effort of study,
he should consider that success
in school work is very important,
both in the war and afterwards.
Whatever the boys are study-
ing, whether subjects tending to
prepare them for military ser-
vice or the ordinary school

courses, they should put their
whole hearts into that work.
The school days are precious,
and after the war some of them
may not get the chance or feel
it practical to return to school,
or go on for further education•
Their teachers are eager to
help them if they find difficul-
ties in their studies. The world
values knowledge more than al-
most anything else, the schools
are maintained to give them
that knowledge, and the oppor-
tunity to get it should be highly

WARTIME SEPARATION
The experiences of wartime
have taken millions of men
away from their families. The
sons have had to say "Goodby"
to their parents. It is hard on
both, yet if there was no war a
good part of these sons would
be living way from home, some
in college or school, and more
in some job they had taken in a
more or less distant place. When
youths become mature, many of
them fly from home.
The separation between hus-
bands and wives caused by war-
time service breaks up the nor-
mal relations of marriage, and
is hard to bear. It has to be
accepted as a part of one's duty
to his country, and the need for
protecting our homes and way
of life.
A wife was asked if she heard
from her husband regularly.
"Yes," she said, "he writes every
day, and I answer him every day,
except that our Saturday letter
goes for both Saturday and Sun-
day." That is a fine spirit of
affection, and there are probably K
K
many who do the same thing.
The distant man may not be
~ble to get his letters off so reg-1~
ularl as he moves to the battle- ~
front,y but whenever he can do ~
so, he greatly cheers the heart l~
at home. There will be some]:~
days when there seems little toi
write about. Yet the serviceman
in his distant camp or ship val-
ues every word from home. All
the little details of domestic and
community life sound interest-
ing to him. They make the
home seem nearer. The wife
at home feels the same interest
to hear about all the little de-
tails of the serviceman's life.
The same is true of the let-
ters exchanged between parents
and absent sons. The son values
his parents more than ever be-
fore, and he 'cherishes every
word he gets from home. Letters
are the great connecting tie that
binds these hearts which are
separated for a time by the fates
of war. ~,

POST GIVES STASSEN BooST :
In the current issue oI m ,,
Saturday Evening Post, former~$
Governor Harold E. Stassen, is i*
given credit for starting thel$
movement of new vigor, life ann +
constructiveness in the Republi-
can art which brought it back [*
P Y 6 ~
from its sorry estate of 193,
since when 26 governorships
have been gained by that party•~l;
The article by Stanley High I~
says that the Republicans can-l$
not win with 'just anY cantot ,+
date," and singles Stassen ou ,,
~or special mention. Mr. High l*
rings the bell clear and loud for
former Governor Stassen. His
recital leaves Harold Stassen as
one of the very few men who can
qualify for Republican leader-
ship this year.
Recognition of Minnesota's
former governor by publications
such as the Saturday Evening
Post from outside the state
should prove a big stimulus to
efforts of the association in hi.,
behalf, believes Senator J. V.
Weber, secretary of the Minne-
sota Stassen - for - Presideni
group• "It ought to raise our vis-
ion and make us see that we can
get the nomination for Stassen
if we will determine to do it."
It should be a source of pride
to every Minnesotan that here in
this state--with and by the help
of the people, of course, and
Stassen supporters are to be con-
gratulated upon the fight they
are putting up for his nomina-
tion. '*~
One thing is positive~voters
will not go back to the old guard
Republican type of rule. They
were fed up with that here in
Minnesota. So fed up they went
hog-wild and wild-eyed to the
left with the Farmer-Labor par-
ty. Then came Stassen's oppor-
tunity with a middle-of-the-
road policy, retaining much that
was good which the Farmer-
Labor party at first inaugerated.
If there is to be a change in
the national administration
this coming election, the candi-
date must be one who has the
curses of the ultra-conservative
Republican party. No Republi-
can candidate will get the rank
and file vote if he is an extreme
right-winger.
What the average American
citizen wants is a driver who is
Inclined to keep in the middle of
the road. If the Republican par-
ty nominates that type of candi-
date they may have a fairly good
chance of winning the coming
election. We have witnessed the
two extremes of right and left,
neither of which has brought us
the security we had a right to
expect. Both drivers ran off the
highway.
It is possible that Stassen may
be the answer.

No one 1o America has • g~eater interest in
the maintenance of Freedom of Enterprise
than a small boy. He does not realize it now
but he is growing up in the greatest nation in
the world where opportunity is unlimite&
That opportunity means Freedom of £nter~
prise,
It means mat when a small boy reaches
manhood he has complete control over his
destiny. He can select the business of his
own choice. He can be a butcher, a baker or
a candlestick maker. He can follow in the
footsteps of his father, or he can choose some
entirely different business with which to
earn his living. In America. because of Free-
dom of Enterprise, no one will tell him that
he must do this or that, He will make the
choice himself and if he is successful he will
~¢ap the harvest of that success. He may even
be President some day.
isr
At this very moment thousands of fatherl
and brothers are on battle fronts all over the
globe, giving their lives an that Freedom of
Enterprise, which we have enjoyed in Amer.
ica for the last 150 years, will still be an
,American heritage for their sons to enjoy.
Only in America can a small boy look for.
ward to such a future. That's because in
America we have had, from its beginning,
Freedom of Enterprise.
