FLAG DAY
Today has been set aside by the nation as Flag day.
It is an annual day of devotion in order that we may do
honor to the emblem which represents so beautifully our
country. Generations have come and gone under its flow
ing folds. Men have fought and died to make it and to
keep it what it is, and we are fighting today that it may
be kept flying as the world’s standard of honor and right.
Our flag is emblematic of all that we have been and
are, and with it are associated the memories of the past.
The sight of it this day has caused many eyes to fill with
tears, and throats to ctioke with emotion and love and
patriotism. Its presence in the streets of France and Eng
land today has caused millions of hearts to fill with joy,
and as many throats and hands to salute it. And it is ours.
Ours to love, to respect and to fight for.
RAISE RISM
Each day brings forth its events which show the rea
sons we are in war and why we must continue in it. The
emphasis of our president on the necessity ot bringing the
war to a successful conclusion in order to insure the future
and permanent happiness of the world is based on a knowl
edge of our enemy, who seeks to dominate.
The wires yesterday ticked messages of barbarism en
acted by our enemy, which shame the greatest outrages
ever conceived by savagery, insanity or ignorance since
the world made its first revolution. The drowning of 190
people, passengers aboard the Sequana; the poisoning of
drinking water tanks, and the bombing of school children
are acts which exceed the term barbarism and can only do
justice to kaiserism.
We are fighting today in an effort to eliminate this
insane influence with its money bought hirelings from a
prominent position in world affairs, and the benefits from
the success of our efforts will be shared by the world, in
cluding the industrious people of Germany who are fight
ing now to keep their betrayor on his throne.
THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE ~
I
There’s a tip for Everyman in Herbert C. Hoover’s
acceptance of the big job given him by Pres ident Wilson.
Running the food business of America—and perhaps
of the whole world—is one of the biggest jobs in the whole
war.
Yet Hoover takes that job only on condition that he
be given NO PAY.
That was his only condition. He didn’t quibble over
how much work he would have to do. He didn’t stickle
for mahogany desks. He asked just one thing—NO PAY.
And no pay for most of his staff.
That is about the finest spirit a man can show. It’s
the spirit of SERVICE—the spirit of how much can I
give my country and my cause?
There’s a tip for Everyman and Everywoman in Her
bert Hoover's inspiring example.
Not all of us can do what Hoover has done because
we have to work for a living, but all of us can have that
spirit.—Ex.
ye, hear
ye: There is a dog thief in the community. Yes, a dog
thief. A dirty, low, contemptuous, stocking footed, sneak
ing, kidnaping cur who lures innocent, unsuspecting and
unsophisticated puppy dogs away from their homes and
then starves them to death. Many people in the city have
had their dog houses invaded and their pups stolen. They
have complained to the city, to the marshal’s office, to the
newspapers, and we—as a last resort—now appeal to the
public. Mr. Dog Thief, remember the fate of a horse thief
in the Dakotas, in Montana, in Texas and Wyoming in the
frontier davs. This is a frontier town.—Nome Nugget.
