STAND UP STRAIGHT.
The present crisis among other
things has demonstrated entire lack
of military instinct and training In
the average American boy. Secure in
the isolation that distance from Eu
rope and her political imbroglios lent,
the American people with their inher
en antipathy to militarism have not
realized the advantage that the aver
age boy gains from a little drilling.”
An erect carriage and clean stepping
walk In any young man, create an im
pression that if of very material ad
vantage to him in making his way in
the world. The stoop shoulders and
the shuffle that many have, through
lack of early training, seem to indi
cate a lack of self-confidence that the
world is quick to assume must be
justified.
How easy it is to pick out the boy
that has been to military school—we
all know It and wo all admire it—
the something that a little drilling
gives—the easy self-possession, the
manner of walk and the look straight
in the eye—just a little drilling.
A few minutes each day while a
boy is growing up to manhood will
accomplish all this. Many parents
continually are telling their sons
"Stand up straight now, you are all
humped up,” but the boy docs not
pay much attention—be does not have
to do it In competition with other hoys
—no special merit is attached to it,
and, only too late, when he Is a man,
docs he realize that the habit of youth
is so strong that he is a “slouchcr”.for
life.
The girls too—how many girls do
you know that walk with any dignity
of carriage? Yet this is one thing
that is admired more and adds more
to beauty than any other attribute—
A pretty girl, slouchy and stooped is
an object of universal pity, whereas a
plain girl with an erect free carriage
has a dignity that more prettiness can
never equal.
Let the boys and girls alike be
taught to stand up straight and walk
correctly . Let your sons and daugh

! surely gained thereby. I.et It be a
[ part of their daily curriculum. Lei
it he as much a pride to any sehooi
child to excel in this as any othei
study, and let the slouchy, stop-shod

and then will American manhood and
womanhood stand up a pride to the
eye of the nation and an example tc
the world.
DECORATION DAY.
Decoration Day which has been set
aside for the purpose of paying re
spect to our loved and illustrious dead
should be fittingly observed by all
true Americans .realizing that by the
sacrifices of patriotic cittzens in the
past has this nation arrived at the
supreme position she now occupies
amnog nations of the earth.
The great benefits of American citi
zenship that we now enjoy, have been
handed to us by men who willingly
laid down their lives for the sacred
cause of freedom; the*ir memory with
that of those who whenever duty
called have been ready ot make the
great sacrifice for the common cause
of democracy arc the shining beacons
of our history.
We are what we are, not from our
efforts or achievements, but through
the patriotism of the founders of this
great nation and the loyal devoti m
of true citizens in the past.
Therefore in paying respect to those
who from a small beginning founded,
maintained and developed this, the
freeest, most powerful, richest coun
try in the world, let us signify cur
gratitude for the great heritage that
has been ours, and our willingness
to protect and foster It for the benefit
of generations to come.
To the memory of those whose deeds
will never die, their names may be
lost In the future, but the benefits to
the human race will last forever.—
The American Emancipators of Man.
the Defenders of Freedom.
LITTLE TOWN MEN.
Ed Howe, of Kansas, is loyal al
ways to the country town—and gen
erally correct In his statements con
cerning U. Also he generally has a
complaint to make about the newspa
pers. Hence the following from his
pen is thoroughly characteristic of
j this splendid gentleman, who edits a
little paper at Potato Hill, Kan., as
he calls his home:
"I never visit a country town that
I do not meet remarkable men whose
lives afford a lesson or an inspiration,
but the space the newspapers should
give to them 'is devoted to iKilltieicans,
actresses, prize fighters, baseball
players, Belgian relief, and Harry
Thaw."
Never mind about the space in the
newspapers—whether it is properly
given. The fact is that in every coun
try town are just such men as Ed
Howe described—men whose lives are
an inspiration. There are strong men
in these little places, men of great
wisdom, men of great strength of
character, men of great goodness.
And, further, they are playing just
as useful parts as the so-called great
aien of the cities.
Take the country doctor as an illus
tration. There isnt’ a man on earth
who plays a more improtant part, nor
a more unselfish part .than he does.
He literally saves the nation—for he
saves the people of the country. He
goes day or night, in all kinds of
weather, and he is minister and ad
viser and counselor as well as physi
cian. The admonitions which he gives
'in his quiet way, the advice which he
disseminates upon a thousand sub
jects, the sanity that he displays, the
common-sense—these things have a
tremendous influence for good in the
local community. There is no one in
a city who serves so thoroughly as
does the country doctor, no one man
whose activities mean so much to the
community. And there are other
types—many of them—to be found in
the country town, types of men who
are of great worth to this great na
tion—even if they do not get their
names 'in the paper every issue.—Day
ton News.
ALASKA IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
If Alaska does not come to its own
and become known otherwise than the
“frozen north," it shall not be due to
lack of advertisement; for advertise
ment it is having and from the gold
producing parts to the clam spots,
'its resources are being shown all
over the country. Seattle’s Alaska
advertising—as in everything else, as
usual, leads. That city maintains per
manent exhibits from Alaska and in
every way possible encourages peo
ple from all over the world to visit
the country. And this has been thus
from the ship transportation com
panies took it up and gave it a boost.
Still later the transcontinental rail
way companies Joined forces. Now
comes the Canadian TaclAc Railway
Company with an offer to help along
that lino.
According to Mr. Lowle, general
agent for the comjmny with head
quarters at Skagway, that company is
soliciting some of Alaska curios, min
eral display and anything from Alas
ka agreeing to take whatever Is offer
ed to the fair at Toronto, Ottawa and
the western fair to be held later in
the fall. Here is an opportunty that
Alaskans should not let pass by .
