"OLD GLORY
America For Americans"
IiEAJ>, THEN ACT
To my fellow members of the
.!■' k> Mountain Club and the men
women of the West:
The action of the Rocky Mountai
» ■ ab iu devoting its energies to
c relief of the suffering children
of Be'siuin rang true to the West
ern spirit, as all of us who have
iived in the mountains and the
i-l; ius have come to know that spir
it. i have gladly joined in the move
men *o do what I can for a gallant
Ii:tit.- nation which has been eruel
! : a pled under foot, for no fault
t-f i's own, and nojv lies prostrate,
threatened with the loss of its
spiritual as well as it physical be
it'g. It is the literal truth that
rarely since the days of Herod has
Chil.liite been so menaced as today
i.i Belgium. |
I shall not deal with the mater
i:! si''e of thi> question, or tell
1,250,000 children are com
pciU-d fo go hungry and are threat
ied with disease and slow star
vation. All this is being told in
t:>j West ia speeches, in literature,
i-ai»oons and in personal pleas.
S ..lice it to say that Belgium today
.iiiucis in mortal danger of losing
both its bodily life and its soul.
L-u* what of us? What of our
••oui if like the Levite and the
l'ricsi we pass on our business
wi'h averted eyes? Tlie nation
that turns a deaf ear to the suffer
ings O' teu million people, includ
i:iii a million and a quarter chil
dren, is committing moral suicide.
iJi.-.-ase born of wajit and hunger
a:.. - reading with dreadful rapidity
aiuoii' these 1,250,000 children of
iv-Uiiim. Shall we look idly; on
while these chidxen die? Other
i.aiion9 do not sit idle. War-torn
Kngland and France have given
r-e y. Bravo little Holland has car
«-.l wi'b in her own borders for hun
dreds of thousands of refugees. The
res: of the world has spent $250,
,'J«0 for Belgium. We have con
tributed only nine millions. Is
«uis enough to make us think that
we have done fur duty? We say
with unctuous self-satisfaction that
\-v have been "kept out of war."
We chuckle because in 1916 we
sold five billions worth of products
>o Kurope. Are our souls rotted?
Can we see only the dollar sign iu
th3 sky? What of our souls if we
continue deaf to the crying need
of a gallant nation, threatened
with extinction through the loss of
i's first born? Can any- man of
high :ai'.d generous nature, having
been told the facts, continue to be
indifferent? J
The West has done much, but it
has not done enough. 1 appeal to
the meu of the West to follow the
Koeky Mountain Club. I appeal to
the women of the West to take the
thought of wrecked and tormented
Belgium to t.heir hearts. i
I should liko to pea every school j
house ia the West a collection, i
agency for) the Rocky. Mountain
Club-Hoover Fuaid.
1 should like to se§ every j Sun
day School interested.
I should like to know that every
pulpit |in the West was ringing
with the story.
1 should ^ like to see In every city
and village a central agency col
loc'ing and (forwarding relief to
Mr. William B. Thompson, the
Treasurer of the Fund, [No, 65 W.
4ith Street.
I snould ljke to s«e on every cat
He range a Rocky Mountain Club
Fund. |
I should likfi to kuow that every
mining superintendent had address
ed his jinen telling them the story
-and asking thgm to contribute each
pay dav a regular sum, following
the example of the miners in South
Africa, who are giving ten per cent
of tneir wages.
1 sQould like to see every news
paper open its column^ to the
cause. |
I should like to see every so
cial gathering wind up [With a
Belgian collection.
I should like to see the West on
fire over Belgium's wrong and Bel
gium's needs. |
I cannot say more. I should be
ashamed to say less. |

had soreness over my kidneys and
I found it hard to turn in bed.
Too frequent action of my kidneys
caused me to rise up often at night.
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me."
