made tt vary clear that Just os the
local boards seted as neighborly ad
Wscrs in retting the quotas for the
army and navy, so tt should be the
dnty of those local boards to handle
the question of the return of the men
In the service to their former duties.
As he pots it, in dealing with the
local boards wh«n w* were at war
“rotfiatranu war# made to feel that
It was their neighbors who were to
determine whether they ought to be
pot in the service of their country."
And he holds that on the return of
the men “the mutual feelings of
friendship and confidence thus en
gendered have naturally not ended
with the departure of the men to the
front, and upon their return will re
vive with increased fervor and
pride."
Mr. Taft is unquestionably right
