12 THE ECHO runs up to a tremendous sum as you can imagine. But it is divided among everybody and nobody has to pay a very large sum, except the very rich. Taxes are not easy or pleasant to pay. In war time when there is a great army to feed and equip and a great navy to build and supply taxes are a heavy burden. But every loyal American puts his share fairly and gladly, for he knows tha t without an army and navy we should be con- quered and lose all the blessings America gives us. The man who tries to dodge his tax does not deserve to be an American. Jury Duty: We know that trial by jury was one of the great blessings of American liberty. Now you can- not have juries without men to serve on them. Therefore every American must take his turn when the Court summonses him to act as a juror. It means the loss of some time from bus- iness or work, but that is part of the price we gladly pay for the benefit of safe, fair and humane trials. Fighting : The duty of every American to fight for his country when she is in peril is as old as the nations. Our country with all its wonderful liberties was born of he- roic fighting. Without the glorious courage of the Revolution the years of hard bitter fighting against heavy odds, there would be no America to- day. In 1812 and again in 1861 the nation was preserved from destruc- tion by the sword. In 1917 we en- tered the great war, “to make the world safe for Democracy ’ as Pres- ident Wilson declared. Our ships had been torpedoed at sea and our citizens drowned. The German threat of conquest was arrived not only against Belgium, France, Italy, Russia, and England, but against the United States; also every other free people. Once more we had to fight for the liberties of the world as well. Conscription, the call of every fighting man to the colors, was a magnificent success in America be- cause this duty of the citizens was universally felt. There was practi- cally no opposition, no holding back. All America went to war gladly to defend those liberties which are more precious than life itself. Obey the Lews: Boys and girls with the right idea of sport and fail- play do not try to cheat their oppo- nents. Whether the umpire is look- ing or not they play fair. They feel that it is dishonorable to win by cheating. They feel that a game, if played by cheats is about as unpleas- ant as a game can be. Therefore, every American is in honor bound to obey the laws. Arrest and punishments may or may not be around the corner if he breaks the laws. But the Good American obeys the law because that is his duty. D. C,, ’26. The Turkey’s Complaint. “Turkey! Turkey! what’s the matter? Every day you’re getting fatter!” Said our Albert, gazing hard At the turkey in the yard. “Ah,” replied the turkey, blinking, “Albert, I am sadly thinking, Men give thanks I well remember The last Thursday in November.” And if I’m not fat and tender, How can they their praises render? And I can but drop a tear, When I think that day so near.” Then the turkey with his claw Wiped a tear from either jaw, And with a sigh that seemed deep drawn Turned, and went to eating corn. R. M. H., ’27.
