Patriotism.

What is your sentiment now. boys,
Is Remember the Maine" your cry?
For the love You bear your country
Are you ready 20 live or die?
Do you love her hills and her praries,
Her trees. and fields and lakes?
Doyou love the strength of her commerce
And the comfort and wealth IL makesf
But better than all of this, boys,
Are the principles we e mploy.
They make US American people
With the freedom we enjoy.
All; we love our country's people.
The dear ones by our side,
But our love includes humanity,
Over all this world so wide.
All boys. we may well be patriots,
Patriots through and through;
There is no nobler sentiment
To stir the hearts that are true.
Next TO our faith in religion
And the love we nave for God,
Comes this power of love for our neighbor
And this broad American sod.
All boys, IL you live for your country,
% To her bright ideal 'twould be,
10 love. dS lOuTStil. gOuf hcAkhOOA
You would more than set Cuba free.
You would keep from the factories the
children;
You would free from your towns strong
drink;
You would renovate jails and prisons;
And the mails you would cleanse. think
You would educate little orphansi
"a
You'd be protector TO every mans sister;
This kind of love is sublime.
A patriot; yes boys. tits noble
A patriot really to be
With this kind of love for our country
Coursing through You and through me.
To duty you are urgently called. boys;
You may not need powder aud guns.
1t may be the service before you
Is TO live for your country's loved ones.
To do unto others as you would
Have others do unto you.
May mean both:Spain and Cuba
From Gods own point OF view.
If this is the dying struggle
OF poor old fighting Spain
Must we cruelty crush her from the earth
For blowing up the Maine;
The spaniards love their home boys,
And W yes and children too,
VIII ou do unto others as you would
Have others do unto your
Take from them tyrannical power
And teach them this lesson strong;
That the way they have treated Cuba
Was totally, horribly wrong.
just bury revenge and hate, boys
Put justice in their place,
And show to the world n nation
OF honor and strength and grace.
Hurrah. for the stars and stripes. boys,
And yell yourselves hoarse on July,
Prepare to live for your country
For it's harder to live than TO die.
Stand by the President close boys.
Give him the backing he needs,
When things don't go as they should 20
Don't accuse him OF unmanly deeds.
Put good men. and clean men in Office.
Stand by them as far as you can,
Stand by the good laws you make, boys,
Be a citizen and a man.
All boys. to be patriots really,
Patriots noble and true.
We need to be Christian citizens
To honor the red, white and blue.

A SHAME.

II is disgraceful aud outrageous
that the yellow journals of this coun-
try have been allowed to wipe ont all
the glory which this country won in
the war with Spain, aud change the
feeling of pride which all Americans
felt IN the glorious victories of Dewey,
Schley, Shafter, Miles and Merritt,
into a sense OF shame on account of
the baseness of the partisanship
shown in the lying attacks of these
papers on the war department and
army officers
There Is no doubt bat that some
mistakes were made by officials of a
nation, which has paid no attention
70 military affairs for thirty year,, in
the sudden equipment of 2S5,0 900 men
and transportation Of large bodies OF
them to foreign islands. But even
admitting many mistakes it Is abso-
lutely certain that they were better
cared for than soldiers ever were in
the history of the world Everything
that money, science aud love could
do for them WAS and is being done
The old confederate veteran, General
Wheeler, who fought 50 nobly at San
tiago. comes out this week in stat :
ment strongly upholding the war de
partment and saying that everything
possible had been done for The boys
and that eve y patriotic soldier felt
sincerely grateful to the war depart
ment.
In another column we publish an
article showing tho regret Of our En-
glish friends at the exhibition made
by this country. Also another article
showing sickness in other wars The
deaths from sickness in our army OF
2S5,0O0 men have been 1884 in four
months. st. Louis, the most b al by
of our cities, has a death rate OF 1.S
per thousand every four months, the
country as whole has rate of 4-66
and our army in the civil war from
disease lost . rer thousand e cry
four months. The loss of our army
at these rates would have been re
spectively 1858, 1928 or $3.50 This
shows that while there was more sick
ness there were fewer deaths than the
same number Of men average in the
entire country. The fearful mortality
from disease in foreign armies can
be learned from the article referred to
above.
These figures brand the yellow
Journals as liars and slanderers, and
worse still as traitors for they have
deliberately and maliciously obscured
the glory won by the blood of our
brave soldiers. We believe in the
freedom of the press to reasonable
extent, but there is such thing as
being too blankety blank free to be
decent
