If the great Republic of Mobland had been unable to make for its returned war-heroes the new world which it had promised them if it could not even give them back the jobs they had had before they left surely the least it could do was to get them drunk!
To be the friend of war-heroes was her métier you paid her highly in solid cash You are under no obligation to her . But the law has decreed that man must have no illicit relations, so the force of that current, or belief, or whatever it is, makes you pay some price for having broken the law Accept it and get through with it And if the price has been too heavy decide not to incur such debts again.
They had got the Red Prophet out of the way during the convention, and why couldn't they let well enough alone? Wasn't there news enough, with five or ten thousand war-heroes coming to town, without bothering about one poor religious freak? When you shoot a load of shot at a duck, and the bird comes tumbling down, you do not bother to ask which particular shot it was that hit the target.
Later, when Clay ran against Jackson for the Presidency he found that a peace-hero has no such place in the hearts of men as a war-hero. Jackson had not a tithe of Clay's ability, and yet Clay's defeat was overwhelming. "Peace hath her victories" yes, but the average voter does not know it. The only men who have received overwhelming majorities for President have been war-heroes.
