A 1917 era editorial extols silent patriotism over words and urges personal sacrifice. It contrasts giving time and money with risky defiance, urging readers to support a war effort through deeds and restraint, while acknowledging authorities may err.
The fragment urges readers to avoid petty fault finding and to abstain from carping comments about what might have been done. It emphasizes reading newspapers without cynicism, acknowledging obstacles faced, and valuing patriotic restraint over excessive rhetoric.
Angus and Duncan, bachelors who owned an email farm, lose their sister who also serves as housekeeper. They discuss who should find a new wife as the housework falls to them. Duncan resists, Angus insists, and they reconcile with the idea that the wife might be the older brother’s duty.
A curdled verse recounts drill and battlefield drama as soldiers march to war in khaki. The speaker mocks pomp and discipline, describes injuries and deaths in France, and notes the hollow glory of medals. The piece blends satire with sorrow over lost comrades and scarce ideals.
