I'M ft GOOD CITIZEN
BUT A DAD PftTRlOF
"If I go to Jail I go with the con
sciousness that I have fought God’s
fight. 1 go content and satisfied that
this deed have been the most right
eous, Just and valid thing I ever did.”
said Rouck White, leader of the
Church of the Social Revolution,
speaking recently upon the subject,
Why I Burned tho Flag* of All Na
tions, before the Brooklyn Philosophi
cal Assocait'ion at the Long Island
Business College, South Eighth street,
near Driggs avenue.
White was indicted about nine
months ago in New York County on a
charge of desecrating the American
Hag, because he, with ten others of
his congregation, threw the national
emblem into a "melting pot” together
with the Hags of other nations in
Older to produce, as he explains it,
“the universal banner of fellowship."
His trial upon that indictment was
started before Justice McIntyre In the
Court of General Sessions, and is still
progressing.
About 500 men and women gathered
to hear the agitator. Although a fair
proportion of the audience seemed to
be In sympathy with his decidedly un
patro.tljt ^hd fantastic utterances,
nevertheless a large number were an
tagonistic, and in the discussion fol
lowing the address, took exception to
White’s extravagant statements.
Anticipating trouble, several Central
Office men were scattered throughout
tbs hall. ’ A stenographer from Police
Headquarters also transcribed the
agitator's speech in toto.
White presented his usual odd ap
pearance. He wore a shabby light
gray norfolk suit, the trousers of which
bugged at the knees and were un
pressod. His grey flannel shirt with
Its soft turned down collar, was minus
a tie. Large tortoise shell glasses ac
centuated the incongruous effect.
White declared that nationalism is
the root of all evil—religious, social,
moral, political—and pleaded for coin
raunllism instead. Ho said in part.
“On my gravestone I wish these
words engraved: ’Here lies one who
was a good citizen and a bad patriot,'
There Is a difference between the two.
Patriotism means loyalty to the coun
try; citizenship, loyalty to the city or
community.
‘‘Nationalism Is the curse of the day,
and has no right to exist. The com
munity is the proper center of sov
ereignty, not the nation.
"My sentiment is one of profound
compassion for Christendom, rather
than of bitterness. If X seem to be
destructive It is in order to he con
structive.
"How many of you know at this
moment what is going on in Wash
ington? Am I a free man? Is this
self-government? Matters affecting
i •!'— 11 - ’ '1 ■ ' ——
our life and death are being decided
there for us.
"Even the socialist movement has
gone into ami made alliance wfith the
nationalism of our day. Socialism in
America, as exemplified by politicans
within that party, 'is just as full of
compromise as other parties.
“American troops were marched to
the border to protect the property of
wealthy people from rightful con
fiscation by Mexico.
“We burned the national Mag in the
melting pot in order to produce the
flag universal, the world banner of
brotherhood. I am on trial for my
leadership in that deed.
“Shrewdly has the prosecuting at
torney in New York let my ease hang
fire for nine months before the prose
cution was ready. Possibly because
of the national intoxication upon the
people at this time, I may go to ja'il.
“The American people do not want
war. We are slaves and serfs—our
master is in Washington, and by op
erations of secret diplomacy behind
closed doors can do what he will.
“President Wilson personally is an
idealist, a man of visions and splen
did desires, but our invisible govern
ment means that the President is not
so powerful as the lobbyist. Wash
ington is a network of master control.”
In the disussion following the ad
dress of he “Reverend” Mr. White, If.
Weinberger, a former president of the
Brooklyn Philosophical Assoeiat'ion,
made u bitter attack upon the "ignor
ant police, the insipid, incapable Dis
trict Attorney and the poor dubs in
the jury box." “When men enter the
Jury box,” he concluded, “they leave
their bra'ms with their coats and hats
outside,”
On the other hand, Christopher .V.
Coffey, presented a dignified defense
of America, and all that she stands
for. Mr. Coffey said in part:
The same laws that punish White
will protect him, and he knows it. The
flag is the emblem of the country, and,
as such, it must he respected. It is
lucky for some people that they “get
away’ with the things they do. With
out laws there would he ehoas. We
have to respect the rights and opin
ions of other people. White has not
done this, hut has let his emotions
run away with h'tm.”
R. Ruck, another who joined in the
discussion, declared that although the
agitator had criticised conditions in
general, he had failed to offer any
remedy.
Another speaker said: “America is
all right—she is the finest country in
the World, and the only country where
this man White would dare to say the
things (he has uttered today. The
burning of the flag was decidedly
wrong, utterly foolish, and aecom
piished no good purpose. There tire
people ip this country—yes, iin this
very audience—who have taken de
light, for a sinister reason, in the
burning of our flag.”
Henry A. Convissar, president of the
Brooklyn Philosophical Association
presided.

Doctor Says ftuxated flron mill
Increase Strength of Delicate
Ipecple 200% in Gen Days
In many instances—Persons have
suffered untold agony for years doc'
toring for nervous weakness, stomach,
liver or kidney disease or some other
ailment when their real trouble was
lack of iron in the blood.—How to tell.
Now York, N. Y.—In a recent dis
course Or. E. Sauer, a Specialist who
has studied widely both in this coun
try and Europe said: If you were to
make an actual blood test on all peo
ple who are ill you would probably be
greatly astonished at the exceedingly
large number who lack iron and who
are ill for no other reason than the
lack of iron. The moment iron is sup
plied all their multitude of dangerous
symtoms disappear. Without iron the
blood at once loses the power to
change food into living tissue and
therefore nothing you eat does you
any good; you don't get the strength
out of it. Your food merely passes
through your system like corn through
a mill with the rollers so wide apart
that the mill can’t grind. As a result
of this continuous Idood and nerve
starvation, people become generally
weakened, nervous and all run down
and frequently develop all soils of
conditions. One is too thin; unotliei
is burdened with unhealthy fat; some
are so weak they can hardly walk;
some think they have dyspepsia, kid
ney or liver trouble; some can’t sleep
at night, others are sleepy and tired all
day; some fussy and irritable; some
skinny and bloodless, but all lack
physical power and endurance. ! n
such cases, it is worse than foolishness
to take stimulating medicines or nar
cotic drug, which only whip up your
fagging vital powers for the moment,
maybe at the expense of your life
later on. No matter what any one
tells you, if you are not strong and
well you owe it to yourself to make
the following test. See how long you
can work or how far you can walk
without becom'ing tired. Next take
two live-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated iron three times tier dav after
===== ' ~- B— ’
meals for two weeks. Then lest your
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. I
have seen dozens of nervous
run down people who were
who were ailing all the time double,
and even triple their strength and
endurance and entirely get rid of their
symptoms of dysp psia, liver anil otiiei
troubles in from ten to fourteen days
time simply b> taking iron m tin
proper form, and this, after they hm
in some cases been doctoring for
months without obtaining any bene
fit. You can talk ns you please about
all the wonders wrought by new rem
edies, but when you come down to
hard facts there is nothing like good
old iron to put color in your cheeks
and good sound, healthy flesh on your
bones, it is also a great nerve and
stomach strengthener and the best i
Idood builder in the world. The only
trouble was that the old forms of in
organic iron like tincture of iron, iron
acetate, etc., often ruined people’s
teeth, upset their stomachs and were
not assimilated and for these reasons
they frequently did more harm than
good. Hilt with the discovery of the
newer forms of organic iron all this
has been (overcome. Nuxated Iron,
fill example is pleasant to take, does
not injure the teeth and is almost
immediately beneficial.
Ni>TR The manufacturers of Nux
atod lion have such unbounded con
fidence in its potency that they au
thorize the announcement that the\
will forfeit $100 to any Charitable In
stitution if they cannot take any man
01 women under sixty who lacks iron
and increase their strength 200 per
cent or over in four weeks’ time, pro
vided they have no serious organic
trouble. Also they will refund your
money in any case in which Nuxated
Iron does not at least double your
strength in ten days' time, it is dis
