The old soldiers had a pleasant and
profitable reunion, and every citizen
who attended the exercises at the park
must have been inspired with patriotic
thoughts, which should, and no doubt
will. benefit the individual and the
community in the future. The address,
es were all of an exceptionally high
order and contained much to think
about. There was one thought ex-
pressed by one of the speakers that is
worthy of repetition: that true patriot
ism consists of doing that which bene-
fits society, in the protection of the
social life as against the avarice and
greed of individuals. The opportunity
of showing our patriotism is always
present, and that it is the indifference
of the people to present wrongs which
have in the history of the past brought
on armed conflict. To do what one can
to avoid such conflict is as much a
manifestation of patriotism as it is to
fight when conditions are such that
the condition which divide the people
cannot be settled at the ballot box be-
cause of Indifference on the part of the
people to wrongs which, long contin-
ued, have ripened into an assumed
right.

Hon. John Hartman, regent of the
State University, and leading law
yer of Seattle, delivered an address in
this city last Friday evening before the
Monday Evening Club and their guests
which should have the widest publicity.
de pointed out the great wealth of the
nation in natural resources and showed
how these resources have been appro-
priated by a few people who will make
future generations pay tribute to them
and their children for the right to use
that which was the free gift of nature
10 the human race. He called atten-
uon to recent decision of the Supreme
court of the United States which was
revolutionary in its nature and pointed
out the way by which the people could
fepossess themselves. The decision
'S 'nat the individual has no rights

The sale of the Brewster lands for
an average of $50 per acre, notwith-
standing the fact that they were ap-
praised at $40 per acre, and in view of
the fact that many newspapers ridi-
culed the idea that they were worth
even the appraised value, is high
compliment to President Bryan's judg-
ment of the real value of the lands.
President Bryan knew the lands and
knew the possibilities for their devel-
opment, while the editors who were so
sure that $40 was a high valuation did
not know what they were writing
about. Will those papers now do
President Bryan the simple justice of
acknowledging their error? Will they
give him credit for securing to the
state from 500, 900 to $150,000 more
than would have been secured had he
not taken the initiative?

Every business man and property
owner should be a member of the Com
mercial Club, and should take an act
i've part in its affairs. There are a
dozen or so men spending their time
and doing good work for the town, and
they should at least receive the en-
enlargement of every citizen. 1t is
unfair, unjust and unmanly to allow
a few to shoulder the whole RESPONSE
bility of doing what they think is for
the benefit of the whole community.
If every one will do his part the duties
of each will not be so great.

The principle of reciprocity is that
we should trade with those who trade
with US; this principle has much merit
as a national policy and is also appli-
cable in local way. The commercial
club is the organized expression of the
people of a community to benefit the
country as whole so that each citizen
will receive his share of the benefits
that come to all. Those who are will
ing to reap the benefits but are not
willing to share in the expense, are
not working on the reciprocity princi-
pie. but on the Siwash principle of
every man for himself, and they should
be allowed to follow this method to
the logical end, in which case they
would soon find that they had none but
themselves with whom to trade. We
are too dependent on others to make a
success of our business on a narrow,
selfish basis, but if man wishes to do
so. it is his right and why should he
not be permitted to carry out his pol
icy to its ultimate and logical conclus-
ion? Support the organizations that
are making a better social and trade
community, and you will thereby bene-
fit yourself.

meet us, she was so filled with joy.
Grandpa was also surprised to see us, and

A Thanksgiving Dialogue

By Mary Brown. Aged II Years. 1922 Boule-
ward Avenue, Omaha, Red.
As it was getting near Thanksgiving.
every child in school was required to learn
a piece for the program to be given the
day before Thanksgiving.
LATHE Jimmy Jones, a little lad OF 8 years,
was TO have a part In a dialogue. The
little Lad was an orphan, but staid with
his grandma who was very kind to him,
but was very poor and therefore he never
had a Thanksgiving dinner.
The day before Thanksgiving Jimmy
asked his grandma If they might have a
turkey for dinner, but she said: mo, we
cannot afford IT," He felt very badly about
It, but knew they could not have It. The
next day a friend Of his brought him a
turkey, so he would not be disappointed
by not having a turkey for Thanksgiving.
The same afternoon he was to speak a
part in a dialogue which was; Thanks
giving day is the day when little boys
and girls should be thankful for what they
have" But when he got on the floor he
forgot his piece and therefore commenced
talking about the turkey and his dinner he
was going TO have at home. All the chill
dren began to laugh and he said: ooh! l
said the wrong thing" and then he com
menced his part OF the dialogue.

The Lucky Miner
~ Helen q. Morris, Aged 5 Years.

BY Helen e. Morris, Aged s Years, McCool
Junction, Neb. Blue.
In a small village In Montana lived old
John Warren and his two sons. Jack and
viii. The father was too old to work and
the sons made but q poor living at day
labor. As the weather grew colder the old
man grew more feeble, and when he saw
he could not live many days he called his
sons to him and said; For many years 1
have been saving up this purse Of money
which now amounts to 5000. When I am
gone l want you to divide this. which will
give you a start" In a few days he passed
away and after the funeral Jack. who was
the oldest, wanted to go to town and enjoy
himself, saying he was tired OF hard work.
But Will would not listen. knowing it
would be ruination to them both. The next
morning Jack was gone.
VIII took his fathers gun and mining
tools and bought provisions with a part OF
his money and started up the mountains
to seek his fortune. He staked a claim and
toiled hard for Almost q year. And just as
he was about to give up in despair he found
a rich vein of gold. So his fortune WAY
made. One day when he was at work an
old tramp came along and asked for shelter.
And when he brought him in to clean up
he found to his joy it was his lost brother
Jack.
